If I hear the word distance again I'm going to puke. Or the word social. Either one. I come to RU-vid to escape the pandemic and this is what I get bro?
inline straight vee / v boxer - used in two car companies only they are Porsche and subaru VR engine - Volkswagen w engine- buggati veyron rotary - mazda
Presentation of the sound effects of different engines with in the working model one by one was superb, wonderful. Keep making videos like this ❤️❤️.but one thing that I would like to say that plzz show the names of brands and models at the time of speaking so that it will seem like 100% effective. Thanks a lot💕💕💕
I really liked this video, very informative, I knew about half of the engines from before but in this video I just got to know all the types of the engines available in cars at very a very detailed way.
This was EXTREMELY helpful in my quest to save money by builing my own car (which after educating myself a little i know is going to be really hard) and I'd have to say im leaning towards building a rotary engine for its simplicity and power to weight ratio, or a VR engine because they're compact. Also considering either a boxer engine because i love Subaru and they use boxers, or a straight engine build, but those are kind of complicated and require a lot of space in a vehicle's engine bay.
Straight is just inline (as in a line (in-line)) Perpendicular mounted engines are used in FWD cars and straight or front to back configuration are mounted in RWD cars etc. They are often the cheapest to buy, and easiest to maintain and maintenance, as well as some can cope with a lot of boost (like the JZ engines which utilize a closed deck iron block. However they have the highest center of gravity and can weigh a bit depending on material and size. Unless you have deep pockets or a good income, I’d avoid rotary engines. They’re great engines but there’s a reason they don’t currently produce them anymore. They are notoriously unreliable from a longevity standpoint. They have horrible fuel consumption and as a part of their design they also burn oil at an increased rate. So you constantly have to keep your apex seals in top shape, and regularly have to top off oil. Boxers are used virtually exclusively by Porsche and Subaru, the sound you typically hear from Subaru that’s distinctive rumble is the boxer engine layout combined with unequal length exhaust manifold/headers. Please note that while all boxer engines are flat engines, not all flat engines are boxers. They are called boxers because of the way the pistons fire and move to one another it looks like a boxer punching. Flat engines are just flat with opposing pistons but not necessarily in the same configuration. They are also fantastic engines, but because of their complexity they are more expensive, and due to their layout they are not as easy to maintenance as an in-line engine. For example on my 2013 Toyota 86, my exhaust manifold is underneath the car, and the spark plugs are a nightmare to access because the pistons are parallel to the ground. However they have superior center of gravity and handling characteristics compared to other engines and still command decent power. V engines are more complex and expensive than in-line, but less so than a boxer. They also have great torque and power output, but can be more expensive to maintain given the amount of moving parts. This is a great middle of the road option, providing usually a lower CoG than inlines, but easier maintenance than a boxer while providing good power. W engines are another thing altogether. So I hope this helps you in your engine decision making. :)
thank you mate, thanks for watching. Do share the video also check out my other videos as well and if you like it consider subscribing, cheers and have a great weekend
What is really crazy, us that since the original idea of an engine, no one has made, or even created anything that does the same job, but more power, more efficient, and lighter.
Come on you gear heads, create design, invent! The only way forward is through our ideas, not waiting for someone else to make it. Be the future, be the change!
Currently most race cars use V type engines but there are some exceptions. For your second question, the answer depends on the usage. every engine can be designed in certain way to either pull heavy load or have a really high top speed...
Great video but one error boxer and flats are different than each other boxer engine got their name because the way their piston moves which is opposite to each other where a flat is just a v engine mounted at 180 degree. Boxers and flats are different but straight and inline are same
yep, both the boxer and flat engine do have different types of crankshaft which makes them different and the straight and inline are similar engines except for the way they are positioned in the engine bay. This is not a in-depth video, that is why I didn't go really deep interms of difference based on crankshaft and firing order and so on. This is a simple video for people who are not into cars to learn about just some types of engines and to differentiate them by just looking in the engine bay. Thank you for watching. cheers.
Miller Cycle isn't a engine type. it is a type of cycle used by the engines for combustion just like otto cycle, atkinson cycle, diesel cycle etc Thank you for watching.
I know a lot of engines. I’m only 11. V, W, Flatplane, Crossplane, Boxer, flat, Radial, Jet, Wankel, In-line/Straight, VQ, etc I cant think of anymore.
@@superchargedpetrolhead I'm talking about the toyota PASSO which has 3 pistons compared to a 4 piston car like toyota VITZ which both look similar but have different engine sizes
@@ilynpayne7491 Both cars are not sold in my country so i don't have a personal experience of them but from what i found on the internet that the passo has a 1000cc 3 cylinder and vitz has a 1500cc 4 cylinder. Basically a 4 cylinder is much more smoother and refined compared to a 3 cylinder. interms of mileage it is usually tough to point out which will be better but if you use it only for the city commute and you drive mostly in slow traffic then the smaller 1.0L 3 cylinder could be efficient and if you do a lot of highways and usually you live in a area with lesser traffic and you do some consistent high speeds then the 1.5L 4 cylinder could be better. It also depends upon the weight you carry if you carry more people usually, then the smaller engine will struggle to keep up the speed inturn it might give less mileage than usual and also mileage depends on the type of transmission and the no.of gears in the transmission, your driving habit, etc. On the whole i would say that the 1500cc 4 cylinder will be much more powerful, smooth and refined but the smaller 1000cc 3 cylinder will give better gas mileage. I would suggest you to test drive both and see what suits your needs better, cheers mate.
There has been v16 engines in cars previously although i can't remember the car's name on top of my head but they have been used in cars but i am not sure about the v17 engines.
I think "slant" motor, which is just what the name says, the motor is just slanted a bit, it is basically a inline or straight engine fitted slightly tilted for better weight distribution. Cheers.
@@superchargedpetrolhead Radial and rotary engines are different. At a radial engine, the pistons are mounted to the still standing plane. But on a rotary engine, the pistons are mounted to the spinning propeller. Rotary engines were invented much earlier than radials or rotor engines which are used in a few cars
@@superchargedpetrolhead That for example is a radial engine: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VZSDsWk9rdc.html Here is a rotary engine: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Nk9Dl6RZxmQ.html You should clearly see the difference
@@Simon_r2600 Well thanks for letting me know... I knew radial engine but i didn't know there was Radial-Rotary engine... But this video is about engines which are most commonly used in cars and in the automotive sector, rotary engine refers to the wankel engine... But those radial-rotary engines are certainly really cool to see and thank you for providing the link, I learned something new today... cheers mate.
Parallel twin is basically a inline engine but only with two pistons and so it also comes under inline engines But anyways thank you for watching and have a great day
+pavitren poobalan rotary is awesome but unfortunately emission standards are killing it but anyway thank you for watching and please share the channel with fellow Petrolheads cheers
yeah instead of overhead cams they use pushrods and yes their pistons head is different but almost all engines can have that as well, that is why i didn't mention it specifically but those are a really cool old school engines... Thank you for watching. cheers and have a great day.
engine 1 is the same as 2 so no difference there u did however 4get 2 stroke cycles and 5 piston arangements or 3 like all new engines are doing plus ELECTRIC and my favourite AIR isnt on your list along with JET or ROCKET wich i feel needs adding to give a full impression of available engines the only engine not to be put in a car is the STERLING BUT!!! IT IS IN A SUBMARINE created by denmark or sweden wichever it won the WAR GAMES TITLE 2018 OR 9
Inline and straight engine are pretty similar but the main difference is the way they are positioned in the car, inline engine are placed horizontally in the engine bay that is they are placed inline with the front axle hence the cars will be mostly fwd or awd. Interms of straight engine the engines are placed longitudinally in the engine bay and hence mostly the cars will be rwd or 4wd or awd.... Both might seem the same but have quite an major impact on the type of drivetrain and the type of car itself, that is why they are differentiated as inline and straight engine. And this video is about types of engines based on cylinder position, hence I didn't particularly mention 2stroke because it can have all the same type of engine mentioned in the video like 4 stroke engine. I did mention and talk about 3 and 5 cylinder engines, you might have heard it if you didn't skip and having odd number of cylinders doesn't change a thing. it still will be either inline or straight engine or in a very rare case a v engine like the v5 engine in a Honda's superbike. I didn't talk about electric motor because it is not an IC engine, it is an electric motor. Again I didn't talk about jet or rocket engine because they are not used in cars, yes there are some test mules and record breaking cars that use rocket engines but how many cars are available with jet engine that you can buy and that is the case with Stirling engine as well...
