How Does A Carburetor Work? | Transparent Carburetor at 28,546 fps Slow Mo - Smarter Every Day 259 

Keep up the great work

Destin: your Dad's the MAN. 👍✔️ ( ... As _many_ a Dad, thankfully, IS/ARE.)

Thank you Destin!! Venturi sounds a lot like Bernoulli... Was that the original name and it got lost in translation???

To help smash up the fuel carbies have air bleeds running to each circuit. This carb has a single main circuit but pretty well all carbs have at least 2, an idle circuit and a main circuit. Running to each of the 'tubes' of each circuit is another tube with a tiny hole mounted at the air horn (intake side). This starts to airate the fuel before it gets to the venturi where it is vaporised further. It stops that droplet effect seen in this video, which increases response, economy and lowers emissions.

Yes

Sugar dad: oh yeah son

“We’ve got a fire extinguisher!” You can hear the inner child 😄

hey, he's "pretty smart for a redneck"

I absolutely love his low-key way of saying no. Calm and explaining why.

Didn't it happen at 17:59 ?

Yes

Unfortunately, the Internet is used by narcissistic idiots attention seeking to reduce their feelings of inadequacy.

Please don't let Red Shirt Jeff Make a custom carburetor for your Car

@@STORMFIRE07 Red Shirt Jeff should make a Pi400 with an extra Pi4 inside.... for, purposes of course

@@rhombo323 HECK YEA Pi4s in SLI inside a pi400!

Now imagine having a dad. That's all

My dad is not gifted like this dad, but he did offer to take me an hour away to buy my bike. Now it’s up to me to find out why my Suzuki bandit Mikuni carb is leaking gas. It was running fine til today , I think the ethanol messed with the float or some O ring and it’s clogged … what do you think can you ask your dad for me please?

You mean my dad?

Literally can't ​@@angelcortez5031

That's why mentorship amongst men, joining the military as an example fulfills that such void in us.

I did too, man. This video had been recommended to me many times by RU-vid, but for some weird reason I had been passing it over. Finally I got to watch it today and thoroughly enjoyed it.

I was lookin fer FIRE @08:34 is my favorite part

Same here. Then again, right place right time. I’ve been watching a lot of videos about inline 4, inline 6, V6, and boxer engines. At the same time I’ve been working on my wife’s Dodge Grand Caravan (PentaStar engine) that had a major leak coming from the oil cooler. This video came up and I said “right on time” as my interest was peaked with everything I was doing. Awesome vid!

Can't believe that I am not the only who did not watch it multiple times

Yes

Agreed.

You must’ve watched this video the moment he posted it. He posted it 55 minutes ago and you made this comment 11 minutes ago and the video is 24 minutes long.

Enjoy your channel as well...;)

One of those crazy rare moments.

Even when you’re older, dad still thinks about the harm his son might be in over the project they’re working on.

That look on his face right there before he drops that, you know he's about to drop some wisdom. And he did, in perfect dad joke style, hahahaha

I’ve used the dry chemical fire extinguisher on an open carb! Grounding the spark plug to stop the motor may be better than backfiring your thumb.

The jet is way too big.

UNBELIEVABLE!!! "...as a mechanical engineer..." .........just embarrasses all mechanical engineers. Just the initial filling of the bowl is a "surprise" ???? The bowl is lower than the fuel tank. Liquid flows "down hill". Why would this be a surprise when the fuel line is connected to the bowl ???? UNBELIEVABLE!!!!! This guy is no "mechanical engineer". "Can you run TWO cylinders off of one carburetor? .....SERIOUSLY??? Clearly, this guy IS NO MECHANICAL ENGINEER. Don't tell him it can run EIGHT cylinder and more.....oh he did tell him .....too late. This video is great for explaining to kids, how a carbureted engine works .....but leaving out all the nonesense from this clown. "I understand carburetors now. Yeah. I mean, I guess nobody actually a hundred percent understand it" ...... TOO INSULTING. DO NOT USE TERMS LIKE "STOICHIOMETRIC" WHEN YOU ARE SO VERY CLUELESS ABOUT EVERYTHING AS SIMPLY AND FUNDAMENTAL AS A CARBURETED SYSTEM. "Your pretty smart for a redneck" ....how insulting coming from a "mechanical engineer". I would summarize that this clown is looking for a way to make some money from RU-vid ....because there is no other way to explain it.

I don't think it is a consequence of knowledge. You can have plenty of knowledge but still be full of pride. Being prideful is the opposite to being humble. Humility is how one learns to be humble.

Im surprised some of this seems like new information to him and others, but it's cool how excited he gets about it and the effort put toward creating his vision.

You probably would have blown it up ;P

@@Tsquared72 "by accident" 😂

Now blow one up on your channel

Because the engine doesn't run without a spark!...

Who read this in there head with his accent ?

At least someone is looking out for safety! Dustin is way too interested to take note of incipient infernos lol.

Dads always focus on the safety so the kids can focus on the fun. Their joy is derived from watching their kid's joy.

Do you have your PE license? How difficult was it to obtain?

I’m with Dad!

Spot the engineer haha

Wisdom!

dads gonna be dads

Before this was discussed I already thought that I hope he doesn’t mess up the engine because his Dad wouldn’t approve

Perfect comment

He's making enough money on these videos that He can buy his dad a top of the line Tiller & it wouldn't even hurt him.

@@GamingHistorySource you can tell his dad is the type that doesn’t want a new tiller. He wants HIS tiller

@@GamingHistorySource Okay, Dad says, "Son, I don't love you enough to let you destroy my tiller, but I do love you enough not to make you buy me a new one unnecessarily."

Hey hey

Knew you'd show up here :)

DerekChamp

Shut up nerd, give me your lunch money

You ever get so excited you slap a mic?

This is also the subtle way to say “it might explode” without freaking people out.. Goes well with “Puts a lota force on that” “Not sure it was designed with that in mind” “It’s fine as long as you know where the relay is”

@@mikerich32 uhoh

He’s his daddy for a reason

"looks just like the water tentacle in the abyss" yeah, it does. just a lot smaller.

HEY! You're the guy who did a lot of the work making the kind of laser 3D printer they used right?! The engineering titans of RU-vid!

Not just a great maker, but great taste in movies too, it seems.

Yes

There's nothing I love more than seeing RU-vidrs I like comment on the videos of other RU-vidrs I like. I was just watching your nine catapults video, best shop tour vid I've ever seen! Edit: Look Destin used your 3d printer

Funny

The engine will only run as fast as the points (if it has them) will close or the valves start to float (meaning they don't close). And you run the risk of the connecting rod breaking.

@@acereotero thank you for your input

you must really love mecanical engineering considering your hobby.

you?

yeah

Ayyy picking man

let's pick a lock at 28,000fps 🤓

Destin's dad, you're great too!

I agree

I’m blessed to have good family

@@smartereveryday we’re blessed you have a good family

@@smartereveryday hey man, give yourself some credit. If your relationships with people are as great, it’s cause you’re an amazing person to be around.

They're doing this inside of a freaking garage.. ? do it outside...

2 idiots... nothing more

@@Pinkielover that garage had seen lots of experiments for sure, just look at the ceilin

Inspiration, motivation, and easily number 1 fan.

@@Pinkielover there’s clearly a reason for them doing it inside, maybe the lighting for the high speed camera looked better from the inside.

He surely loves and misses the astonishing technology behind engines.

I liked 1 2 3 suck 1 2 3 suck 1 2 3 suck 😂

12:35

I felt this comment

Good until the fuel started eating the butterfly lol. But yea that line did hit

"I couldn't have held the light better myself" would be a pretty good one as well!

The small things in life are sometimes the most memorable and meaningful.

He's encouraging his son, no matter how old you are we will always be Dads.

And his dad said no. You do not say no to those who know better than you.

@@Markle2k Jeff Spiccoli -"I can fix it!"

Famous last words

It's on the second channel. Processing now. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TWfss7z05no.html

@@smartereveryday awesome

Thank you @@smartereveryday and Mr Sandlin! Can’t wait to go watch it and subscribe to your other channel too!

thats what I said, where did it go? guess he cut a little too much there lol

@@smartereveryday you know us well :)

Lol

Proceeds to let son run it all full throttle anyway

I don't blame him. He just put a new carb on that tiller and doesn't want to also replace the entire engine! Ha ha ha ha!

Dad, let's do this No Pleeeeease No *turns camera off* *explains how patreon money works to buy a new mower and engine* *explains how it's all for science and understanding* *turns camera back on* *revs engine* Both: wheeeeeee

"Most smartest" is grammatically incorrect. Its either "most smart" or "smartest". You can't have both.

@@NonEntropy I actually can have both, because I am the most best.

well you cannot argue with that statement

@@NonEntropy I think they knew that my guy

@@NonEntropy Hahahahahahahaha. I stand corrected. That said, he's still the coolest and smartest and no one can deny that sentiment!

Then proves it by counting 1,2,3,4 with movement in the bowl corresponding with the movement of the piston.

@@charlesmckinley29 he's Dad is pretty quick to explain out whats happenin

It actually doesn't really match up though, since it would shake twice per intake pulse since every stroke is half a rotation.

Lol

@@agerrgerra1361 It's a single cylinder, so it has a primary and secondary imbalance. The first order is mostly cancelled out by the crank counterweight but the second order happens at the top AND bottom of the stroke and it's from the piston changing linear velocity while the crank's rotational velocity doesn't. TLDR: Dad's four-count is valid, albeit counterintuitive.

was reading this just as he said it in the video LOL!! Agree with the feels part!

c:

Made me sad cause my dad died last year. Wish he could he show me more things. Died with just 50 years. Take time with your old ones, guys

@@dansemacabre4350 I'm very sorry for you loss, I know your Dad would be very proud of the person you are today

It warms my heart every time I hear Destin call his Dad “Sir”. So polite and unfortunately a lost art these days.

@@BaltiSean He's talking to his dad... That's just weird

snap ya fangers.

Watch out for FIer

It's a good rototiller! And I just got it runnin smooth with a new carb!

It’s all fun and games until a flywheel explodes

why not turning off ignition?

@@MADhaseX True, his dad could have pulled the spark plug wire, but things can go wrong very quickly, and faster than you can react sometimes.

It’s his dads tiller lol. He didn’t want to break his own tools!

Ok.. but „ yes, sir ! „ is way over the top and reminds me of slavery

@@kreterakete wow. You’re so mentally programmed and emotionally fragile that a son showing respect for his father is *reminiscent of sLaVeRy*. Get off the internet and go talk to some real people for once in your life.

@@kreterakete I hope this is bait

@@kreterakete it should remind you of the normal respect a son gives his father, especially if they are teaching you something that you find interesting.

@@kreterakete You've got issues.

"I like Derek too." ❤

10:28

The second he said “turbulent flow” I knew where he was going. 😆

You know, I thought what I liked best about Destin and his work was his enthusiasm for the subject matter. But I have come to realize that even more than that it's his love: love for his kids, love for his dad, love for other youtube creators, and love for his audience. THAT is what makes a perilous world worth living in!

Yes

why is he running windows 10 on a MacBook?

@@calsnyder4788 because you can? It's super common to boot camp Windows onto a Mac.

@@calsnyder4788 Usually because you want windows software and apple hardware

@@calsnyder4788 cuz he bought an Apple but wanted to run something that’s only available on Windows

I agree, we need more Dad. And have him just bring a random item in and let's dissect it. Would be cool if they went through the engine piece by piece, make a 3d model, and at the end would have a working see through engine that the parts list to build it, for all the screws and gaskets. If you know the show Dr. Stone it would sort of be like that

Destroyed him lol

Absolutely!

*Fanger

If a thumb can save a life an index can throttle an engine.

Thanks for making the transparent head Everett! Always excited to see @805ROADKING pop up here! I've put a card in the video to our collaboration! Go check this guy out folks. He's a legend.

Saftey first.

Yes

Am i missing something, what brings in the air flow? Simply opening the choke and allowing air in that chamber? I'm just confused on that part because it looks like its sucking in air periodically or mabe thats just the slow mo idk

@@thedavidmcgrath1990 There are 2 parts, pre and post fuel, but affect the delivery.

I wish mine would like to teach me stuff, instead of drinking, yelling, and blaming for bringing him wrong key out of 20 same looking ones.

@@SelevanRsC it sucks

@@SelevanRsC w dad

"Dad, what transistors is for?" - 9 years old me. "For lot of things." - my dad. Some people just don't know how to explain things.

@@SelevanRsC or inability to hold a flashlight correctly!

LOL... did that include a 'hold my beer and watch this'?

Then I realised that he is Benny Hill.

... and had some back-fire if you look closely

You can choke any carb with a hand

The one he’s holding up in the thumbnail REALLY looks like you could choke it, alone, with a box of tissues close by

Indeed.

Makes me miss my dad. Wasn't expecting to feel this from a carburetor video. RIP old man

Said by the rocket surgeon.

His father is a master enginner as he worked on James Webb telescope project.

That’s probably why he is the way he is too

His father is also lucky to have a son like him...

And thanks for sharing!

Yes, my pops would have yelled at me for making a mess of the garage to accomplish Nothing but waste gas & money.😑

Hope you do

Will you be my dad? I'd love for my relationship with my father to bear even the slightest semblance of theirs.

I'm always listening and supporting I love what I do continue

Yeah, my dad would have been yelling at me for leaving a tool out somewhere

Just teach them everything you know!!! And not the bad but show them the good.

That's how I learned so much, boy we are missing this today. Just imagine what this country would be like now

and conversely, a son teaching his dad even more!

I agree, what a great video. HIS dad's so humble and darn proud of his son.. But you can also see how much he loves his dad and also so proud of him. I loved this duo. Very cool, made my day.

@@rayjr.9187 man how right you are. What a shame, some kids these days are just terrible. So entitled, only care about themselves, don't have a bit of commen sence, don't respect their elders, and can't think for themselves. I'm so glad I grew up when I did, and had parents who taught me EVERYTHING I needed to know.

Son was thinking about the carburetor. Not thinking about what happens when a engine gets over revved up. Internal parts breaking. Engine goes boom. Time to by a new engine.

I’m 62 years old and still say yes sir and no sir to my dad.

I wish I had a dad

Next time someone calls the British stiff I'll remember that Americans call their father sir.

It's called manners and respect. Both are taught, valued and expected in the south (sometimes more than money). ☺️ Second is, "hey y'all, watch this (hold my beer). 😎

@@MetalheadAndNerd really only in the South. I'm a Northerner and I never called my dad Sir.

Very true and fortunate too
