Purpose of a Turbocharger - Explained

What is the purpose of a turbocharger? This video explains what a turbocharger attempts to do. It explains the engineering behind it, not the components of the system. The principles a turbocharger uses to create extra power are explained. The same principles also apply to a supercharger.

I'm so glad to see that after all these years Jason is still sticking with the whiteboard.

I have learning problems. I have a hard time paying attention in school. You explain everything and I understand it 100% something which my teachers could not help me with.

@nerdypielover Thank you! I'm just getting started with this channel so I'm hoping it builds interest. Throw suggestions at me for future videos anytime!

[issacabraham]

You've come a looong way buddy.
Thank you for making my engineering life easier. :)
Love from India. ❤

The first video of Jason whose taught me everything about cars, i love you so much man❤️❤️❤️
Much love from Kenya

You are welcome sir!! Made them just for people like you! Glad you enjoy them.

So this is where the legend started... Great! Maybe you may not read my comment but I just want you to know something. By seeing your videos you have inspired me to study Mechanical Engineering and I really appreciate all the effort you have put into your content because I've learned a lot in just a few months that I've been following you. The world needs more people like you, going straight to the point, confident, humble enough to recognize when you're mistaken, and someone who likes to be in touch with his public. There's a lot of words that I'd like to tell you, but in a resume I'll just say a big: THANK YOU!

Greetings from Mexico!!!

Easily one of the top science and education channels on YouTube. Been with this dude since the beginning and he's come a long, long way mainly because of how awesome of a guy he is. Don't get me wrong - the videos are very informative and very fun to watch, but IMO the primary reason for the channel's success is how humble, cool, and likeable the host is.

I love that you have been doing this for 7+ years! Talk about consistency!

Congratulation on completing 10 years 🔥🔥🔥

@yamenad Lighting has definitely been an issue, my camera doesn't seem to have enough lighting no matter how many I put in the room (it was cheap). Also, I wanted this to seem as if my friend has asked me how something works, and I'm simply responding in a manner that's easy to understand. What I say is what I know; it's not something I've memorized and rehearsed. Although it may seem more rugged, I believe it's easier to follow. Thanks for your support!

Started a job working in automotive retail, going to cram through your videos to gain some knowledge! Thanks in advance because I already know from watching many of your other videos that it will be immensely helpful.

So have I got this right? With more air you can burn more fuel. And with more fuel you get a greater explosion in the cylinder. And a greater explosion means more power to the piston, which drives the crankshaft.

Great job explaining bud.  Bright future ahead of you

[Kelsdoggy]

This guy should do more videos. Seems good.

[danield]

9 years ago. Wow. Thank you Jason for starting this!!

[Druwoods]

From this video to hanging out with Jay Leno. I can't believe it's been 10 years. Good job man.

[EngineeringExplained]

Right, I'm sure your car can handle it fine as it was designed to, I just didn't want people getting the wrong idea and thinking "Hey I'll put 20 psi in my once naturally aspirated engine and everything will be fine." Good to hear that your car is running strong!

[BurnSurgery]

I really appreciate these videos. They are at a perfect level for understanding the basics (and beyond) of engine/automobile engineering.

[PeripheralDjent]

I already understand how most of the systems in cars work and why they are implemented, I just like these videos. Great quality, always accurate!
