HOW IT WORKS: Internal Combustion Engine

The operation of a V8 engine is demonstrated explaining the cylinders, pistons, crankshaft & cams, connecting rods, and the fuel system parts such as the carburetor and valves, and diagrams of the ignition system including the battery, distributor (rotor and coil), and spark plugs.

I'm taking a beginner mechanic course. I read about this about five times and still didn't understand. Watched this video once and it all makes sense now! Thank you thank you thank you so much! Adding this to my school work playlist

Only old documentaries can explain it so nicely. Now a days they do presentations on computers but still do not match these old ones. Btw the voice in these old days was so typical as if only one and same person was there doing voice-over for all these presentations :)

SIMPLEST WAY OF EXPLAINING HOW THE ENGINE WORKS. GOOD JOB!

NO wonder people were smarter back then....they explain everything so simple to understand.

Everything must be perfectly synced to work. I have new appreciation for the engineering of engines

[BeugsTheLegend]

I know this technology has been around a long time but I’m still more amazed by an engine’s operation than most new things today. We think of the old days as more primitive but it feels more advanced than today, honestly.

Arguably the single best video I've seen on all of the internet. I was having an epiphany every 4 seconds I watched this.

And if you rev it high enough, it becomes an external combustion engine.

I like the no nonsense way this is presented. They didn't try to introduce needless comedy and jokes in this.

[Gazto]

It was probably made at least 60 years ago and is astonishingly better than most modern day video explanations. This is to show that excellent education is timeless.

I am 12 years old i love i understood the explanation perfectly.👍👍👍

[BrockRodriguez]

I don't recall ever seeing a video more easy to understand than this one. Thanks so much for posting

[notallthatbad]

Perfect explanation with a wonderful conceptual setup. Makes everything clear and graspable. Always wondered how all these things worked together, now I know!

[ferdinandmiranda]

I couldn't imagine how the inventor came out this kind of idea when it comes to naming parts of this unique machine and how clearly explain. !? Awesome & Amazing

[revvedrey]

This is how you explain very complicated things. Thank you.

[tessmacie]

Thank you from a 77 year old lady who is trying to understand how things work.

This 5 minute video made more sense to me than the past 2 90-minute classes in auto motives

[lilmiss]

My boyfriend sent this to me so I could learn how engines work☺️ this makes it seem so much more interesting to learn about and easy to follow

[yeetboil]

We need more people like this guy, he explains this so well, breaking it down in a simple yet effective manner. Excellent work.

Watched many Videos about engine, but this documentary is the finest and simplest explanation
