Superchargers - How They Work

[bearcoldheart]

Bob Ross lives he is doing supercharger instructional videos ;-)>

[siegegoggles]

My left ear, you fucks!

[Guanacosti]

My life is complete, I'm going to go and die now bye.

awesome explanation Sir.

[s0nnyburnett]

Maybe I should start calling all the pumps on my car 'she' too.

[chipi2910]

por eso los carburadores son mas eficientes lastima que eliminaron ese cistema deve decer porque no les conbenia



[shui2hot4u]

your hands made me feel dizzy so I left half way through the video. Oh yeah, it was also boring as fcuk

[lifeisgood12341]

Huh well that's cool

[orbitstrid3r]

My left ear enjoyed this new found knowledge

[StinkyTaco]

@orbitstrid3r it's more educational in left mono

[killface234]

How is the super charger powered?

[IdontneedanIpod]

@killface234 Using a belt for the engine.

[DC3328]

@killface234 via a belt attached to the cars crankshaft

[archerofdoom]

Would you like a job as a hand model?

[LTF85199]

thanks excellent explanation

[whiteypetals]

It's like the bad guy on Inspector Gadget that sits on the chair at his desk and all you see is his arms and hands.

[NumNuts8989]

my left ear is much smarter now

[Wyrmnax]

And suddenly, all the doubts on how that thing work vanished like magic.

VERY good video, very educative.

[limey3r]

A supercharger is installed between the carburetor/manifold and the air filter.

[workshop4life1]

It wouldnt it be the same without the hand gestures.

[ADAMR408]

@ThePuster117 it is placed after the supercharger

[adrienlac]

Show me your face, wise man !

[letsgo395]

always wondered how the "fans" worked in those.. Thanks uploader !!

[badbarada]

1:27 knuckle crack

[ThePustr117]

is a supercharger placed before or after the carburetor?

[Travellinghobo2]

Really well explained, thanks!

[poop4256]

hands of knowledge

[turdlekorpse666]

now the universe makes sense to me.

[leaf16nut]

I thought I was def in my right ear... I only heard hsssssssss....

[RayzaBlayz]

i feel like i was learning from a pair of hands talking

[BeastFromTheEast94]

didnt know charlie sheen knew so much about cars...

[CptNemanja]

I think it still pushes the same amount of fuel, but a bigger volume of air... I'm not sure though.

[Billoney87]

@CptNemanja

if you were to simply slap a supercharger on a car then yes that is what would happen. But to optimize power, you need to get your air/fuel ratio back to normal. So when you increase the amount of air, you also should increase the amount of fuel to get optimum power. This can be done in modern cars by tuning the ECU or by upgrading fuel rails.

[CptNemanja]

@Billoney87

I see, thanks for the explanation.

[Paaalease]

He sounds like a High School Shop Teacher.

Very understandable. Great job!

[ninnajadaddy]

Totally get it. Well done.

[watleft]

I am a car enthusiast but don't really know much about the engine and all the bits and bobs. Great Video. and i right in saying the air provides quicker combustion of the same amount of fuel pushed into the engine. giving a lot more power but hitting the mpg quiet badly?

[Jiztasticgaming]

so the supercharger pushes more air and the same amount of fuel into the engine?

[mdiggy712]

thank you clint eastwood for teaching us about superchargers

[KerryDoan]

finally

1. video not by expert village

2. he knows what hes talking about!

[JonJonAbelheim]

This voice is exhausting to listen to.

[gdoitsh]

Good video, but I have one question. The energy for the supercharger movement comes from the engine, which get more power from the supercharger. How can we actually gain net engine power?

[Warblade118]

@gdoitsh You get a net gain with a supercharger because the amount of energy contained in the extra air/fuel mix the supercharger is forcing into the engine is much greater than the amount of energy required to drive the supercharger.

However, there is a limit to supercharging. As you increase the amount of air/fuel forced into the engine by increasing the supercharger's speed there comes a point were it takes so much power to turn the supercharger that there is very little net gain. Make sense?

[chicnstix]

how much more power can a supercharger give the engine?

[elemein]

@chicnstix Depends on the car of course, and the brand and set up the the supercharger.

For my C6 Corvette, the Charger threw on 152.1 Horsepower.

[NickJ95GB]

is he just a pair of hands and nothing else? :)

[elemein]

@NickJ95GB No, there are SEVERAL smaller odds and ends, though of course the other main ones I could name are the bracket (cant have air come in and just fly around the engine cabin, it has to go INTO the engine), the intakes (helps ALL the air get to the pistons), and I cant remember the exact name of the part, but its simply a mechanism that turns the exterior gears you can see his left hand over at 5:32

[TheReid2]

((( PERFECT ))) video, iv been looking for a video like this for same time now!!.

[SuperWildhunter]

excellent!

[alvanjudson]

If they tied this guys hands behind his back would he still be able to speak?

[driftking2013]

Well first thanks for this great explanation i really wanted to know how the supercharger do work but i have a qusetion does the golf 6 TSI have really a turbo charger and a supercharger or it dosn't ?

[GSRTurbooo]

Great explanation !!! Nice 1

[TeDuaMalakie]

thank you Moss .

[Darkreaperxl]

How did u know I get trapped in revolving doors all the time? o__0

[peckerwood57]

this video blows.

[jeffcoolstuff]

good explanation. it ssems heavy cuz of the way he hit the metals together

[DCuzick]

Great, very clear explanation. Thank you for doing these videos.

[spiking1989]

GREAT explanation!!!!!!

[mephiskapheles6]

The sound is not coming through?!?

[topari01]

thanks for posting :)

[gjmvi]

I learned something. Fuckin sweet. Thanks!

[heathlive]

Phenomenal. Always wanted to know how they work, and now I do. Thanks a ton Moss! That is why I subscribed long ago.

[jhaze918]

your vids are awsome!!!!!!
