Piston Engines Explained | profpilot.co.uk video #12

http://www.profpilot.co.uk | A long overdue video on the fascinating world of piston engines in an aircraft. A quick introduction is made to the Otto cycle, then looking at the connecting rod and crankshaft, followed by a quick insight into the mixture and the murky worlds of pre-ignition and detonation.

Any requests for future videos? Sling them in the comments. Can't promise as to how speedily I will actually make them though...

It is good explanation of how these engines work! With electronic fuel injected engines, the things changes, but only in how the fuel is introduced to the motor.
