High Speed Video of engine working

[S2central.net]

This is quite cool - video taken inside a working engine shot at 1000fps - doesn't show the complete four cycles but its cool nonetheless...

that is the cool

[Animal Mother]

Intake was coool.

Thats pretty cool, wonder why the exhasut stroke wasnt shown

[dan_b]

Annoying it doesn't go to the exhaust phase, but very interesting to see the spark - or should that be multiple sparks, and actually quite a small flame front - was expecting more of a hollywood-style bang than that? Wonder what the engine was?

[mcandmar]

That is fascinating, you can even see the delay between the spark plug firing and combustion taking place.

Is it just me or does it have huge valve lift?

[Sonic]

Thats cool.

[Fat Audi 80]

Yep. but slower than I thought it happened.






Very interesting and a shame it was only three strokes

[MidnightBlueS2]

Really cool ! Just goes to show that anything will look slow enough if you slow down the filming of it.

Dave Chappelle proves you wrong

would have been good to know more details about the engine, lift etc.... Really cool video tho.

Actualy, we had at school a ''glass'' engine. The cylinder was actualy made of thick glass and it could not be run very long. We could play with the timing to see what is going on when engine ''pings''. Was pretty cool! In the video, what you see is the flame front, by this I mean that when the spark plug ignites the mixture, it does not blows, it consumes. When it explodes, that's when you hear the ''ping'' and to be more precise, its the shock wave from resulting of the explosion and not combustion of one part of the mixture inside the cylinder that makes that particular sound, not that the piston is push soooo much that it knocks the rod and bla bla....

See ya

Cool would have been better to show the fulkl cycle - weird why they cut it interesting to see how much room there is to play with lift/dureation wise between high and low in both repsects

Would have liked to have been at your school and seen that.
