How a turbo works

[TheInsaneTemplar]

So a turbo basically uses the exhaust pressure to create a vacuum to drag in new air quicker?

[Omarv8power]

bill nye THE SCIENCE GUY voice... NOOOOOOOOW YOU KNOOOOOWWW!!

[The300zxNA]

@3479Eugene No intercoolers are not a MUST. And there have been cars w/o intercoolers. But the act of compressing air generates heat in itself. As you know, the colder the air the more oxygen. Engines run on oxygen. So they pass the compressed air into an intercooler to, well, cool it down.

[damadusha]

very informative video.. Thanks :)

[IntegraDaFcuk]

Very very informative. Now I get a few more ideas before I get a turbo car :D

[dapetric1]

very detailed video

[Startliter]

Excellent video.

[2003NeonSXT]

4 people are Turbo n00bs

[3479Eugene]

I just found out a little bit how the turbo works, but if the red colour are fire, what is the blue colour? 

[dethmetalderique]

@3479Eugene red isn't fire, it's hot air(exhaust gases)  The blue is the cool air being pulled from the atmosphere and then passed through the intercooler to cool it further.

[3479Eugene]

@dethmetalderique Thanks, I get it, another question please. Did every vehicle with turbo MUST using/need an intercooler?

[dethmetalderique]

@3479Eugene No i don't think that they absolutely must use an intercooler, but using one increases the density of the air being cycled back into the engine which then means more power. A quick search of a well known turbocharged car, Saab 900, shows that the early turbocharged engines used were not intercooled.

[WizKhalid1]

What animation did you use.

[evaant14]

im clicking on the 1700hp mustang spooling turbo next

[evaant14]

i didnt get it well just a lil

[Kikingmarikina]

3 people did not understand anything about the video

[kevuhn]

nissan navara d40 have a variable turbine turbo developed by renault for nissan. that changes everything for a sluggish turbo diesel that we're used to. if somebody here owns a navara td they'll know what i'm talkin about.

Bravo

[energystar8711]

Very good video.Now even a turk can understand how turbo works!!!!

[bujashaka]

No wonder turbos don't last long and are very sensitive, almost 1000 degrees and 240 000 rpm.

[jasonlobo2]

the person in this video sounds like james may

[oiseautempete]

The Turbo was invent from the Swiss Alfred Büchi in 1905!, but the first real use was from the French Auguste Rateau on a Renault V12 aircraft engine installed on a Breguet XIV "reconnaissance" in 1918 to improve the high altitude capability of the Aircraft.

[BlueRice]

the part about how the variable turbine turbos works, need more detail. i dont know if its spool up faster or slower of how much air is consume by the exhaust gas on its variable adjustment. i dont know if my assumption is correct or not.

great video by the way, i can actually understand how it works in visual view.

[AsNovaLogic]

now i know it...hehe,thanks..

[CCR12345678910]

Where does the blow off valve come in, just it just release the built up pressure with in the turbo itself?

[megamyers]

@CCR12345678910 the video said its on the exhaust (drive) side, and is pre-set to open at a certain speed or rpm. Like the pressure valve on a compressor.

[odracirx]

thanks! really good video! As said "clear and easy undestand"!

[urbex2007]

brilliant video - clear and easy to understand, very well put together and explained.

[MrPrinze55]

Oh hey! Have you heard about the British Box Breakout (google it)? Ive heard some great things about it and my cooworker earned a ton of moolah.

[ThePhiliCheese]

Great job explaining how they work. Keep it up!

[SinisterMD]

Fantastic overview of turbocharging. Everything sounds better when explained with a British accent. Well done.

[VIMALANable]

aren't turbo fuel efficient, b'cause turbo more generate air that fuel....

[d1drifter87]

excellent! This was of extreme help, thanks!

[paisurjiths]

Awesome video... Well explained :)

Thank u very much :) :)

[REDxFROG]

240.000rpm? O_o

[cAdillac718bx]

will more boost put more stress on the engine, rather then less boost?

[rickyeguizabal]

so what happens to the oil once it reaches the turbo bearings and how do you change it???

[andrewlamb123]

@rickyeguizabal Runs back into the engine.

[zdog11393]

i have and 03 pontiac grand am gt. nothing modified to the engine but i want a turbo for the better gas milage and the horse power. would a turbo fit and would it be a wise or bad choice to make? plus how much would it even cost to buy the turbo and have it installed ?

[gothen1234]

Vital lubrication... thats what she said XD

[askloglog]

excellent description!

[numeroza]

NOW I GET IT!!!!!!! THANX ALOT :D



[ToughMag]

Respect for the C temperature, F sucks so bad :)

[StapleGunMS]

@ToughMag Way to stand for something, mate.

@ToughMag GO KELVIN OR GO HOME

[KentEdanimac]

i have question, i have honda civic, stock engine, can i use turbo for this? or are turbos dangerous for stock engines...what are the risk?

[oiseautempete]

@KentEdanimac

No you connot use a turbo: the usage from a turbo need a reduction from the compression, if not, you blow your engine (detonation)

[lolzordje123]

would it be possible to introduce a simple and small gear system inside the turbo to increase rpm even more?

[LordLaharl]

@lolzordje123 I don't think so. The presence of gears would mean parasitic loss of energy. This loss of energy would mean lower RPMs and therefore lower flow of air. Also, where would you put such a gear system? It would be extremely complicated and will only mean unreliability since more parts = more things to break. Are there even gearboxes that can withstand hundreds of thousands of RPMs?

[lolzordje123]

@LordLaharl hadn't really thought of it that way, but gearboxes? what do they have to do with turbos?

[LordLaharl]

@LordLaharl Well since you said "gear system" I assume you want something like a normal gearbox. Inside the turbo.

Awesome video - as speedybizzle said, a video that makes sense.

Thanks!

[arturbocouk]

Thanks for all the positive feedback, we're glad that this animation has been a useful tool for you guys and many more to follow.

[turnipfield]

@arturbocouk Well, this really is 1st class. Animation, speed of display just right, content is right on the mark and explains exactly how the turbo works. On a tiny tiny point I would prefer the music quieter - or even absent - but that is nit-picking. Thanks for a great production.

[speedybizzle]

finally a video that makes sense

[SpeedFreakNO]

How is it to use a variable turbine turbo on an old diesel engine that's not electronically controlled?

[SpeedFreakNO]

A great video, thank you! Nice to know before installing a turbo =)

[awefilledcreep]

everything sounds so much more technical with an english narrator

[Pistolleta]

Very nice illustration, one of the best if not one of a few very nice animations of turbo functions. Thanks a bunch, learned allot.

[tiredfingers99]

Dear Mr. Buchi in order for air to flow at the most extreme you need 1 to have the intake area to be as large as possible, why is the intake so small? 2 Why are you having the air turn 90 degrees!!???? lol 3 You are causing a back pressure on the gasses on the cylinders that are trying to exhaust the gas! Don't you want more air flow through the engine. 4 But worst of all, why do you have such small bearings? The bearings should be on the outside of the fins, and the air flow should be straight

[MrFiskpudding]

birthday cake

[FHUBANA2011]

Very Good Explanation. Congratulations.!!

[kpdanger1]

HIHIHIHI... I want to turbo stuff.

[LaserJet74]

I want turbo on my car :D

[KheyRoty101]

[hotchicksandpuppies]

the answer to 50+ mpg.

[shireflames]

Could someone help me how do we determine if its a dry or wet water cooled turbo? Thanks!

[MegaScrewyLouie88]

that is a great explanation thanks man i needed it for something important

[deviatorz]

Wondering if this is correct:

Intake of air is at high velocity so therefore with Bernoulli, pressure must decrease. When a car goes faster, the velocity of air increases therefore pressure decreases (PV = PV). Thus a car gets less O2 as it goes faster (inefficient at higher speed). The turbines compresses the air for higher density (more O2). However, the cooling stage deals with PV = nRT where V, n and R are constant. Decrease T will then increase density, thus again more O2 per unit volume.

[georgibubu]

So... actually, the turbo is not reusing the exhaust gases?.. those gases are just used to spin the turbine in order to make the intake turbine from the turbo to work and suck on fresh air from the exterior? Finally I got it... i watched many videos and still didnt get the answer, but you, through your video have done it. If im on a mistake, please feel free to correct myself.

[deviatorz]

@georgibubu thats correct. Because work was done in making the exhaust gas, the exhaust gas has energy to do more work. It does so by spinning the turbines. In short, the turbines then take in air (which contains O2) and compresses it. The pistons get more O2 to burn than usual so increases economy. Basically the exhaust is analogous to wind that rotates the turbines in a wind generator. For a wind generator we want electricity. For turbo, we want air (or oxygen) to brought in and compressed.

[georgibubu]

@deviatorz Awesome man. Thanks a lot! :)
