  • Subaruuuu :)

  • heyyyy i have one of those hahaha

  • Opposed engine ?

  • @kennjohnsen Opposed means that the cylinders are opposite each other.

  • @DAKOTA56777

    This is not an opposed engine, an opposed engine means that two pistons work in one cylinder oppose each other. This is a boxer engine.

  • @kennjohnsen Well when I learned about engines that's not what they said. And if your right then what about the thousands of engines with cylinders opposite each other connecting to one crank are called horizontally opposed. Even steam engines that have two cylinders opposite each other connecting to one crank are called horizontally opposed engines. Maybe it's the fact their called "HORIZONTALLY" opposed not just "opposed" that explains this difference.

  • @DAKOTA56777

    Well, they change the language all the time, to me an opposed engine is an engine with two piston in a cylinder opposed each other.

  • These types of engines are mostly seen in volkswagens and subarus. I also agree with the fact that you should have shown vavle openings but great job none the less

  • @APEZ94 They also use these Engines in Ferrari's,and mostly in sports cars,vertical pistons fight against gravity when they compress,and they have a balancing weight on the crank shaft to cut out vibrations,on these horizontal engines there is very little vibration,@ higher torque,BUT!,the cylinders do ware down over time and become slightly elliptical.

  • I guess i'll write the first comment...

    This is a half decent video, only thing I don't like is it doesn't show how the valves open and shut and in which order, and which valve on which cylinder is open at any given time.

  • @Jabirupilot1 Or for that matter have it writes in text some were

  • @diesel6457 well, including it in the animation would be in my opinion a better way of showing how it works

  • @diesel6457 so my spellen aint nun to good , On a further note; yes I do under stand it's a inanimate object
