Finally a simple explanation on how diesel engines work! I completely understood petrol engines, but diesels were always enigma for me

[whoami]

This video is perfect. Leave it to an oil company to explain diesel in less than 2mins

[Nafeesdrmc]

I remember the hours I spent during my school days to understand how diesel engines work. I had only some images to support the theoretical portion of the book to understand it. Seeing this video brings back all those theoretical aspects to life, in a much more easily understandable manner. Thanks, Shell!

It’s always baffled me how something so volatile and light as petrol requires a spark, and yet something so unreactive and heavy as diesel doesn’t.

just imagine how millions of these combustions are happening each minute.

and without them, we would still be spinning cotton by hand, and riding horses to work.

Piston mechanics and physics explained in under two minutes.... impressive.

One of the best animations I've seen

[ZarieTudiskava]

Simple and straight to the point.
Thank you Shell!

A very informative video indeed. I like the animations, they really make it look very realistic!
Now for two more of these informative videos complete with animations on how 2-stroke petrol & diesel engines work please. Thank you.

Now that I learnt something from you Shell, maybe I don't feel so bad with how much it cost me filling up my tank. Thanks faceless multi-national company!

Fun fact: diesel is called “gasolio” in Italian while gasoline is called “benzina”

[graustreifbrombeerkralle]

That's pretty cool! Well explained! We can be glad to have this technology!

[pietrosal]

Simple and straight to the Point Nice!

[aatish.r]

thank you for teaching
its very clear

[bkehlin]

I literally watched two different videos, about 15 minutes each, and this explained it quicker, and clearer.

[carlosvipe]

Living and learning. That Diesel man was another genious inventor, a revolutionary in the human's history!

[zakariashah]

Quick and simple to learn, thanks for the video

[fishingwithretards]

That’s actually makes sense thanks for this video

[jimmyjoshuatafida]

it was a wonderful clip very educative

[dirtyvinyl]

Thank you Shell, very informative, can you lower gas prices now please?
