Produced by General Motors in 1964, this short animated film "The ABC of the Diesel Engine" shows the fundamentals of the operation of a diesel engine. It was produced by Film Graphics, Inc. and is a remake of a film of the same name which was originally released in 1951. The film was accompanied by a textbook, "A Power Primer", originally published in 1955, which offered an introduction to the internal combustion engine.

Even though I knew that this film was from 1964, and that it was made by/for General Motors, I was still afraid that they wouldn't acknowledge the mighty Two Stroke Detroit Diesels, or GM Diesel, as they were still called in 1964. Those engines were produced from 1937 or '38 until 1987, although production carried on for military and other non-road-going applications for some time after. I also noticed a GMC Crackerbox truck @16:20.

@coffeeisgood102 Год назад

Wow. We’ve come a long way. Wonder if GM is making educational videos of the electric motor that we will be able to watch 50 years from now.

@TheDoctor1225 Год назад

More likely they'll be making videos about how dangerous they were because (a) they kept catching fire, (b) produced a ton of environmentally damaging byproducts in production and disposal of the batteries, and (c) how we needed other forms of energy to charge those electric vehicles to begin with so there was pretty much no net savings.

@coffeeisgood102 Год назад

@@TheDoctor1225 Any automobile catches fire. My 1974 gas engine VW van burst into flames while driving down the highway and I was lucky to escape with my life. My 1980 gas engine Toyota Corolla caught fire while in my driveway and the fire department saved my house. All automobiles are fire hazards. We live with them because we need to get from point A to point B. The fuel that makes an internal combustion engine run is extremely flammable and does cause many fires each year. I now drive electric and enjoy the tremendous cost savings of having no maintenance. Electricity, as a fuel, tho considered expensive, is still way cheaper than gas to run the car. Then there is the advantage I never thought of when I first bought the car. Since I charge at home the car is ready to run for the rest of the day. No more interruptions in my schedule to stop and get gas. The time saving from that alone mind blowing. Yes, I know that lithium-ion batteries can catch fire. But so does gas, so the playing field is even.

Good point, Finley. A 3 liter automotive diesel makes a ton of torque; I've got a car with that engine. It's a joy to drive and passes the toughest state tests for emissions. Gets mid to high 30s MPG and has a 600+ mile tank range.

Question, if cylinder pressure is up to 20000 psi does that mean injector pressure is more than that?

@ajcopp8814 Год назад

That is the injector pressure. It needs to be greater than the air pressure within the cylinder.

@jasoneldridge4738 Год назад

Most modern diesels have a cyl pressure of approx 450 psi (30 bar) and most common rail injectors will not operate until 200 bar (3000 psi ) of fuel pressure is reached which then increases with speed upto 1000 bar (15000 psi ) !

@georgerenton965 15 дней назад

My 2.8 Duramax in a 2017 GMC Canyon fuel injection pressure is 29.000 psi. 181 hp with peak torque 369 ft lbs @ 2000 rpm. It has a 6 speed automatic. At 110 kph ( Canadian ) engine rpm is about 1800 rpm. Running in 6th at peak torque (2000 rpm ) you get the PoPo on your ass. Good fuel economy, and lots of pull. Truck is stock, with 135500 k on it. Only issue was a failed DEF heater line so far. Never have to plug it in and starts like a charm down to minus 25 cel. Pulled travel trailers combined weight of trailer and truck 12,500 lbs in mountains 14 mpg.

What happened to the Jam Handy Organization?

@lwilton Год назад

Jam (Jameson) Handy was around doing industrial educational things before WW I. He was born in 1883. He died at age 97 in 1983. According to Wikipedia, JHO actually lasted until 1983. During it's later years GM was it's major client. In 1983 GM decided to move it's money to another company, and with Jam dying and the money going away, that was the end of JHO.

Are any periscope films about usa industry machines in Asia? 1960 usa made 95% of clothing in America. 2020 usa made 5% of them. 95% from Asia. Like everything else the American businesses sold all machines and imported to Asia for CHEAPER LABOR. Financial success replaced manufacturing success. The rich industrialists sold our soul and with it we can not produce anything in America. im 55 years old now and saw it happening. My late union pipefitter-welder gave out bumper stickers stating "put America to work, BUY AMERICAN MADE!" He said he wouldn't be around but hoped myself and others heeded the warnings.
