  • 100 year old technology still imprisoning the masses.

  • This is not high speed camera but strobe photo camera: take a picture at 0degrees, make a full cycle and at the same stroke make another picture at 0.1degrees (actually it's 720.1 degrees) and so on.

    In practice you continuously shoot and "timestamp" each photo with crank angle. After hundreds of thousands of photos you put them in order of the crank angle, so each photo is most likely from different cycle, and most likely you caught within a degree every position of the crank.

  • Just the same stroke repeated over and over again.

  • @tk42138 That's really interesting. Anywhere I can find more information on this?

  • Great video carnt quite make out what it all means didnt understand any of it but I relaxed with a brandy and enjoyed it

  • Thumbs up if you noticed the inlet valve spinning

  • that was like 3 or 4 rpm!!

  • I remember Ford making a test bed engine that used a very strong sapphire quartz window so the camera could see into the cylinder. Watching this process really hammers home why petrol units are only 20 to 23 percent efficient.

    Next generation of road car engines will use direct solenoid operated valves. This is also why the old 12 volt system days are mumbered. Solenoid valves will need 48 volts bus distribution which also benefits the increase in electrical loads in a modern car.

  • @TK42138 what if those solenoids fail.... I'm sorry but I'm stay the living f*** away from those cuz I prefer the old days.

  • @WarWolfAngel001

    I believe the valves shut in event of solenoid power failure so no danger of valves meeting pistons.

  • @TK42138 oh I see. basically a return spring right? :)

  • its crazy how this happens about 8,000 times per minute

  • All you guys must be thick if you think this fake. its called drilling a small enough hole to fit a pinhole camera in

  • Hahaha! How did you get a camera in there? You don't get the camera in there. You either use a pinhole camera or a special thick glass inspection window.

  • nice footage

  • Awesome! I have to learn how motors work, and this was great to see! But I've got to wonder, how the hell did you get a camera in there?!?

  • After close inspection, this is a 4 valve cylinder, you can see the second intake valve behind the big one in view =p

  • The most interesting video on YouTube. Unless you make duct tape wallets. I watch a few duct tape wallet tutorials when I have trouble getting to sleep.

  • now how the hell did you get a camera in there?

  • wow.

  • excellent video! really good!

  • FUCK THE DOUCHEBAGS who are pissing and moaning.... who knows what got their PANTIES IN A BUNCH!!!

    Great vid, and THANKS!!!!!!!

  • pretty fuckin cool

  • wow

    best video ever!

  • great video!

  • Pretty amazing to see this footage, thanks.

  • Quontom, it's a 4-valve, look closely & you'll see a second exhaust valve behind the one in front. Same with the intake, just a little harder to see due to carbon. Companies like Lenox/Pultz make pinhole-lens cameras capable of withstanding 4000+ degrees. Artificial light obviously introduced here as well. In these types of apps, camera actually resides outside the furnace (or cylinder). Only a small tube passes through the furnace or cylinder head. Great video.

  • I tried to jerk off watching that, but the exhaust stroke isn't complete :(

  • the camera probally went bye-bye on the exhaust stroke and shot out of the tailpipe!

  • hey that's a hemi

  • wow man ! how you put a camara in there?

  • What's the point of showing a 4 stroke motor cycle and skipping one stroke , for anyone seeking to learn this video is a waste of time, misleading !!!

  • @Quontomleeeep No it's not. This video is an eye-opener for amateur tuners like me who need to see what's happening to the combustion process to understand about timing. It's great. I wish it would tell us the exact degrees of timing so we can see when the actual spark occurs.

  • @AccordGTR Again No, the video is titled "How a four stroke engine works' . You already know this, and sure the video may help you with tuning etc but for someone who knows zip about the four stroke cycle this video is missing the full picture and in that is disappointing . Timing looks 5 degrees advanced to me ?

  • @Quontomleeeep yup and its only a 2-valve so probably an old engine like a chevy v8. harhar. more sophisticated dohc engines can take more advance

  • @Quontomleeeep Actually it looks 4.5 degrees advanced to me. :rolleyes: and :shake head:

  • @spannermonkey11 Yer,I guess it would. Rolleyes twice, also shake head, do a little dance, prey to Ala , face mecca, put out the washing, bay at the Moon, drive to the Mall, have a sandwich, pack bags for a holiday, move states, get a haircut, bang a drum .

  • охуенно!)) просто порно какоето))))

  • I think the reason why he doesn't show the exhaust stroke is because it's difficult to actually see the smoke leaving the combustion chamber

  • That is fuel coming through the intake valve isn't ?

  • @sizmike yeah notice it is in spurts since the fuel injector is like a solenoid opening and closing in pulses. pretty neat. and the combustion is really gradual like burning a piece of paper, not at all like I thought like an firecracker. I guess if it was, that would be detonation

  • perfect vedio

  • Nice to see what's going on inside the engine

  • sub and fav. thanks. :)

  • Does the camera have a tiny light on it? it should be dark in there until ignition. The reason they don't show the exhaust stroke is probably because the camera got sucked out....LOL, they are probably repeating the same video.

  • I came.

  • damn i didnt know it was so firey in there

  • it would be nice to see an exhaust stroke

  • why ppl are calling this porn?

  • @christosGTAIV be cause they have a engine fetish

  • @christosGTAIV Because its that awesome!

  • @christosGTAIV B/c are stroking their drive shaft to this and getting their own engines going. Hence porn.

  • I have achieved orgasm

  • Wheres is the exhaust stroke?????

    Btw, really cool video!

  • That exhaust valve skipping is so annoying. It probably tricks a bunch of people too.

  • I thougt porn isn't allowed on youtube

  • @MrRabbitBlack only human porn is forbidden, animal and engineering porn is okay

  • Muito bacana, dá p/ver os quatro tempos certinhos, admissão, compressão, explosão e escape, muito legal... .

  • COOL!!!

  • It looks like its igniting too early.

    Shouldn't it ignite at the beginning when the piston is on its way down?

  • @londontrialscat no, it looks about right. it takes a while between the spark and the full ignition of the fuel/ air mix.

  • @londontrialscat The ignition is advanced slightly in all engines, thats so the fuel gets time to ignite before it pushes the piston. Most engines especially ones that operate at a wide rev range ie: cars and motorbikes have an auto variable advance depending on RPM done by either mechanical centrifugal, or electronic control, so higher the revs, the more advance needed to keep the torque up. Single RPM engines such as those in mowers do not have the auto advance feature as they dont need it.

  • wouldn't it get really hot in there for the camera man

  • hey mr. kutys class

  • @ecsoccer28 w00t

  • So is that a non interfearence engine? Can't tell if the valves open into yhe chamber.

  • This is AWESOME!!!

  • My school has a glass engine, it is pretty cool, the whole cylinder is glass, and you can see the piston movement along with valve movement and all strokes. it really is cool to see it firing inside cylinder, doesn't look like i expected. only runs on alcohol because gasoline would fog cylinder, making impossible to see.

  • Why dont they show the overlap phase?

  • thats cool!

  • did you notice what a intake restriction is the valve?

  • Many of us have no idea how much this video is helping people understand automobiles. Specially people like me.

    I would like to know how this video was shot - I mean the location of the camera and the type of equipment used

  • @palimadra I can say for sure that the camera is in the cylinder head but how they made it work I dont know!! The average temp. in a 4-stroke motor is about 1400 degrees F!! Its pretty insane however they did it!!!

  • Cool video, but its missing the 4th exhaust stroke! Its hard to imagine how much energy is produced in an engine vs whats lost in the drivetrain. Modern combustion engines are still inefficient to use as less than 20% of the power produced actually goes to the wheels.

  • Suck, Squeeze, Bang , and Blow that makes Four strokes.

  • @MacGregor8000 A 4 stroke engine actually has 8 phases,so forget what you've learned in school about the 4 strokes. Exhaust:2 phases exhaust blowdown and exhaust return.... Intake:3phases intake overlap,intake suction and intake charging... Compression phase...2burning phases:Pre power burn and power production phase=8 phases rather than 4 strokes.

    :-)

  • @Southslider WOW, who told you that??

  • @Southslider

    wow I didn't know that

    Now I'm confused all over again.

  • @Southslider i think it depends on the type of cylinder you are using? isn't it..

  • @drummerjamesamit No,this applies to all '4 stroke' engine's. Not to spam or anything,but check out the website link on my channel.(mototune usa) Click it and you too will understand.

    ;-)

  • That is incredible.

  • interesting to think of combustion engine is actually running on sun combustion power.

    sun (fire) --> plants --> fossil fuels --> back to fire

  • That is wild. Never seen a actual engine working from the inside befor that is running.

  • its kinda scary knowing that theres explosions at like 10 000 degrese hapning in front of you haha

  • This seems like it should be an ancient technology. Its such a cool idea though. I'm sure there are more efficient ways to do work these days then with controlled explosions.

  • Why does the footage skip after the the exhaust valve opens?

  • @ManuelHung I guess the the exhaust stroke isn't exciting enough.

  • Considering it saves the vewer roughly two seconds, seems rather pointless even if it is boring... for two seconds.

  • @ManuelHung probably run out of tape, what else reason would cause such retarded thing....

  • @ManuelHung barelly visible

  • @ManuelHung I would think the camera was exhausted out with the burnt gas, along with the guy filming it!

  • Probably a twin spark engine and some kind of screw in camera

  • It'd be nice if the loop didn't cut out valve overlap. Seeing the exhaust scavenging happen would be great.

  • @LJRockstar06 its fake to me, cause you couldnt fit a camera in a cylinder

  • @PivotSk8erTommy You are such a stupid troll...

  • It would be nice to see a video for once that shows a bit of footage of the engine going at actual speed ..

  • @KooKas2oo8 you wouldnt be able to see anything! at an idle speed of 900 rpm the crank is spinning 15 revolutions per second.

  • @1000yardshot And how many fps do these youtube videos run at? 18?

  • @kingvance ok so you have achieved what? you get to see the piston every time it hits top dead center? woohoo. wouldnt you want to see some detail of what happens instead of just a blur?

  • There was a video of a BMW motorcycle valvetrain up for a few days. Then everyone noticed that it was scary as hell (the cams were just a blur even at idle) and I guess they decided they didn't want people seeing that sort of thing. Might make potential customers shake their head and buy an old TZ750 two-stroke or something.

  • yeah, but it would probably just be to fast to even see anything working, lol!

  • Actually, this video IS going at actual speed. It's just the camera is capturing a frame at nearly the same point in the cycle. It's like looking at a wheel spinning at just the right speed that it looks like it's not moving or even going backwards.

  • Interesting, that means one cycle in the video is actually many cycles in reality. That explains the weird effect the fire and fuel appear to have in the video, they look like clouds in a time-lapse video.

  • Oh yeah, I didn't take that into consideration, you would need a high-speed camera to capture it at full-speed and have it look right, and then you might be risking an expensive piece of equipment putting one into an engine cylinder :p

  • @Zhatt so its kinda stroboscopic?

  • @juliman14 Yeah. The camera's frame speed is about the some timing as one stroke (or a multiple of that).

  • bull shit it is going normal speed

  • excellent j'ai toujours rêvé de voir ca

    je pense que ca doit etre fait avec une fibre optique

  • thats a very good comment and taterfamine your right. how they got the camera in there im not sure maybe took a sensor out? not sure but that is kind of a dumb thing to end it before it goes into the exhaust

  • actually the fuel does`nt explode it burns very quickly, if it does explode or detonate in cylander uncontrollably then, you`ll be doing damage to the engine, there are circumstances where it does explode due to poor fuel, bad engine tune, carbon deposits staying hot causing pre ignition,etc,etc.

  • how the fuck they put a camara inside that!?

  • thats class

  • Whoa!!! how in the world did you do that?

  • it's kinda dumb how the video loops before you even see the exhaust leave the cylinder

  • @ProjectFlipside yeah a 3-stroke engine with time lapse tuning

  • @ollecarlsson What? There's no such thing as a "3-stroke"

  • @snowman4839 im not kidding, right

  • @ProjectFlipside actually not, its more important to learn about the timing of the spark and see how the flame propagates during the combustion phase cuz this is what produces torque. Exhaust phase or scavenging phase is not that important here. The video teaches you about timing advance and valve timing. This is what we need to know to be good engine tuners. I think this is low rpm. At high rpm, timing advance increases. In pre-ignition or detonation, timing is too much, etc.

  • is this real if so how did you do it

  • the left one is the intake,right?

  • no, the one on the right is the intake. watch the cycle

  • can someone explain to me what happens when you see gasoline coming in and then fire plz its for a science project thanx ;)

  • @amescuita if you dont see the sparkplug sparking,,,,,please change your school project soon...

  • petrol and air are mixed in the carburettor which is then sucked into the cylinder during the intake stroke. on the compression stroke (when the mixture is compressed) the spark plug sparks, the mixture explodes, forcing the piston down. then when it comes back up, exhaust gases are let out of the exhaust port!! enough?

  • yeah sure...

    alright...the fuel/air mixture is coming in through the open valve on the right, while the piston moves down. then both valves close and the piston moves up, compressing the fuel/air mixture. when you compress a gas quickly, like in an engine, the gas becomes very hot. the spark plug then ignites just before the piston reaches top dead center, which is the little spark that you see. Then the spark ignites the fuel/air mixture and BOOM! that's why the explosion happens.

    geddit?

  • this is just the same firing over and over again.

    and plus if you wanted to make it look like a four stroke, don't make it seem like it's firing every time the piston compresses. only 2 strokes do that. =P

  • Wow this video is insane!!! Always wanted to see what its like inside in action. Awesome 5.0

  • would love to know how much this video has been slowed down to actually see this happenning. nice shot though

  • Surprised at fuel mixture burning with a yellow flame at temperature and pressure. can't be real.

  • @airnut100 Unfortunately the yellow flame is real, that is where most of the inefficiency of the ICE occurs. Had they run another stroke with the light off it would have been easier to see.

    The difference is premix and postmix combustion, the exhaust stroke would be a blue flame with all that wasted energy going out of the exhaust ports. Look for the video "M103 goes like hell! without exhaust manifold" to see the wasted energy.

  • Ah yes.. Suck squeeze bang blow.

  • ALOOOOOOt

  • cool video no exhaust strokes? flames shooting out of the intake valve? spinning intake valve? thats a weird engine

  • @crazytacostudios Actually both intake and exhaust valves are designed to rotate slightly during every actuation. This helps keeps carbon from building up on the valve sealing surface, as well as promote a good seal beween the valve and vlave seat.

  • great capture...

  • No it's not.

  • This is amazing!

  • how the hell did they get this footage...

  • They built a giant engine so a guy could go in there and film it.

  • @crustinc seriously?

  • @crustinc

    nope, they train insects to use small cameras.

  • That is amazing!! Just to think that this happens up to 6000 times a minute when thrashing it!

  • @SG55OVCam

    actually 3000 times a minute at 6000rpm, its a 4 stroke remember!

    some run at 18-20,000rpm, imagine that!

    6000rpm is 100 revs a second so 18,000 is 300 revs a second!

  • @tpvalley "RPM" Revalutions-Per-Minute. If the motor is running 6000 rpm, then how can it be running 3000 rpm at the same time? Thats what it says at the very begining of your comment. you said "actually 3000 times at 6000rpm". Sory but that doesnt make sence, unless im miss understanding what your trying to say.... It cant spin 3000 and 6000 at the same time...

  • @peacemaker50cal

    4 stroke, so 3000 cycles per minute, or ignitions however u like.

  • @tpvalley Unless you meant SECONDS...

  • @SG55OVCam for V-8 maybe but a Honda street engine will turn 9000rpm or more. F1 and Honda motorcycle engines go up to 3x that of V-8's and use hydraulic valves instead of gear driven ones. Now that's is something.

  • mounted a camera in the head of an engine.

  • I realize that, but how though... and is it in the engine or looking through a window port?? I cant see it being mounted like inside the cylinder, not with the pressures and temperature involved...

  • Drill a hole through the side of the cylinder head, use a pyrex plug, mount camera behind plug. It only has to last for a couple of revolutions. It's not that complex.

  • 2 stroke

  • hihihi hahaha 2 strokes :-)))) with vlaves :-))) go back to school

  • i din see the overlapping period...

    it seems like it cut...

    anyway,it's a very great vid..

    thanks a lot.

  • havent noticed before but..... the intake valve is spinning like hell!!

    it doents happen in one stroke...

    it happens in hundreds of frames that compose the full motion video that we see at slow speed.

    amazing video work.

  • In-fucking-credible. When you look at this video, the very heart of an engine looks so primitive lol. This is still amazing though. But why were the exhaust strokes cut out and what is this "overlap" everyone keeps talking about? Lol i don't know a whole lot about engines. I wonder what this would look like with a big performance cam.

  • Overlap helps with breathing. What happens is that at the top of the exhaust stroke, both valves are open concurrently. The exhaust flowing out of the exhaust port creates a vacuum in the cylinder which pulls fresh air/fuel in. The exhaust valve then closes as the piston starts to move down, the intake valve opens further, and the moving piston maintains and increases that vacuum pulling in the A/F mix.

  • Exactly! One more thing should be mentioned though, the incoming air also helps expell the exhaust gas. Perfect ansewer though.

  • seriously why are the exhaust strokes deleted though

  • That is one of the coolest things I've vever seen. That must be very high speed photography. I don't know how they kept such a bright light on inside the chamber 100% of the time. The orange flame front on the intake valve was weird.

  • that is what it is like every time i walk into a room.

  • everybody stands with their flamethrowers ready to make a massive BBQ out of you? lol

  • LOL

  • heh??

  • amazing

  • probably would confuse people. Overlap is a VERY interesting thing. I don't know about 100 degree of overlap but whatever.

  • Why are the overlaps cut out? Is there a secret? :)

  • It's a way cool vid, but is it real ?

    Why is every exhaust stroke deleted ?

    Why is there no overlap when both valves are open at the same time ? All engines have at least 100 degrees of overlap. That is the most critical (and interesting) moment in an engine's valve timing. (Next to timing when to close the intake valve.) That would be the cat's meow for me.

  • thats cool

  • how do they do that?

  • wooooooooooooooooooooooooow

  • that is just orgasmic

  • what kind of camera can take that kind of heat may i ask?

  • Thank u 4 posting ... useful

  • cool

  • technology is amazing

  • love this :X:X:X:>

  • ok, that's pretty damn cool. I've never actually seen the 4 stroke cycle from this perspective. Awesome shots!
