It Turns Out, Hybrids Are Really Hard On Engines Engineering Explained 2024-10-18 | Hybrid vehicles are uniquely challenging due to the frequent engine start/stops, as well as lower overall engine temperatures, which can lead to water and fuel dilution.Sponsored by Mobil 1 – mobil.com/en/lubricants Hybrid vehicles are a great solution to improving fuel economy, but they have their own unique challenges. Because hybrid engines start & stop frequently, this often results in lower engine temperatures, which in turn can create issues with water and fuel dilution. Frequent start/stops, water, and fuel, can all create problems that exacerbate engine wear. To combat this, Mobil 1 has developed Mobil 1 hybrid, a full synthetic motor oil that is designed to meet the challenges that hybrid vehicles place on engines. This video will focus on three main subjects: how hybrids work, why hybrids are hard on engines, and what solutions exist to combat these challenges. Don't forget to check out my other pages below!

Gas vs Hybrid vs Plug-in vs Electric - Whats The Difference? Engineering Explained 2024-10-11 | Gasoline, Hybrid, Plug-In, and Electric. There are a lot of options available when buying a new car, but what’s the difference? Gas and diesel vehicles rely solely on a combustion engine to move the vehicle. Hybrids add a small battery and at least one electric motor to the mix. Plug-ins have larger batteries than standard hybrids, meaning you can start the car and drive for short distances on electric power only - great for daily commutes. For further distances, or when extra power is needed, the gas engine kicks on, giving you plenty of range. Fully electric cars ditch the engine completely, just using a large battery and electric motors, for the most efficient form of automotive transportation.

What Killed The Flathead V8 Engine? Engineering Explained 2024-09-27 | Flathead V8 engines were the first mass-produced V8 engines sold in production cars, with Ford’s first example dating back to 1932. The flathead design is very simple; as the name implies, the cylinder head is basically just a single flat piece of metal. All of the engine components are kept internal to the cylinder block, with a single camshaft operating the valves directly. The simplicity meant low cost, which brought the V8 to the masses. Unfortunately, airflow was terrible, because the air had to reverse directions as the valve opened to enter the cylinder, rather than flowing directly in like modern engines. The intake air also flows in the opposite direction from the exhaust, so any valve overlap meant combating airflow. All of this meant low power, so by 1954, the engine was no more. Bummer! Not really.Why Flathead V8 Engines Died - youtu.be/ixhYVcWwJiYSubscribe to Engineering Explained for more videos! - goo.gl/VZstk7Recommended Books & Car Products - http://amzn.to/2BrekJmEE Shirts! - http://bit.ly/2BHsiuoEngineering Explained is a participant in the Amazon Influencer Program.Don't forget to check out my other pages below!Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/engineeringexplainedFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/engineeringexplainedEE Extra: youtube.com/channel/UCsrY4q8xGPJQbQ8HPQZn6iA

Toyota Developed An All New Painting Process For Cars Engineering Explained 2024-09-13 | Toyota developed a new painting process; it’s the first of its kind in the world for automotive use, and has the highest coating efficiency in the world. Typically paint is applied with air paint atomizers, which use air pressure, but plenty of paint ricochets off the surface and is wasted. The new process uses a spinning cylindrical head combined with centrifugal force to sling out. electrostatically charged paint droplets. The droplets are attracted to the grounded surface of the vehicle where the paint can attach and the static charge can be dissipated. This process achieves over 95% coating efficiency, versus just 60-70% coating efficiency from conventional car painting methods.Toyota Press Release:https://global.toyota/en/newsroom/corporate/31587468.htmlSubscribe to Engineering Explained for more videos! - goo.gl/VZstk7Recommended Books & Car Products - http://amzn.to/2BrekJmEE Shirts! - http://bit.ly/2BHsiuoEngineering Explained is a participant in the Amazon Influencer Program.Don't forget to check out my other pages below!Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/engineeringexplainedFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/engineeringexplainedTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/jasonfenske13EE Extra: youtube.com/channel/UCsrY4q8xGPJQbQ8HPQZn6iA

How To Eliminate Turbo Lag - Volvos Easy Fix! Engineering Explained 2024-08-16 | Turbochargers provides lots of horsepower, but they also have turbo lag, so it takes time for the turbo to spool up and provide boost, delaying that power delivery. To combat this, Volvo came up with a very clever solution. The process starts with an air compressor, which fills up a high pressure air tank. If you floor it, asking for full power, the air tank releases that high pressure air directly into the exhaust manifold, where it then rapidly spools up the turbo. This means you don’t have to wait for the exhaust gases to do the work, like you would with a traditional turbo engine. Once your engine starts making good power, the exhaust gases take over to maintain boost, so the air compressor can go back to work filling up the air tank, ready for the next full throttle deployment. So you have a compressor (air compressor), for a compressor (turbo), for a compressor (engine).

Whats The Fastest Transmission? Dont Hate The CVT! Engineering Explained 2024-08-02 | What’s the best transmission? A dual clutch transmission might come to mind due to their lightning quick shifts, but there's another transmission that can allow you to go even faster. As it turns out, a CVT, or continuously variable transmission, reigns king in terms of efficiency and performance. There's a reason the technology was banned after its use in Formula 1. What makes it so good? Well a CVT can choose any gear ratio within its range at any given time, and it can constantly change that gear ratio. That means it can simply hold the engine at peak power, meaning the quickest acceleration, and change the gear ratio as the vehicle’s speed changes, never taking the engine off peak power. Why hold at peak power, and not peak torque?

Why Dont Electric Cars Have Gears? Engineering Explained 2024-07-19 | Electric cars are more popular than manual transmissions, as indicated by sales in the United States. How wild! Instead of lots of gears, EVs generally do away with shifting gearboxes. This doesn't mean they don't have gears, it’s just that most EVs have a single drive ratio, meaning there’s no shifting gears. Compared to combustion engines, electric motors can rev way higher, produce lots of torque at low RPM, and remain efficient across a wide RPM range. Adding multiple gears to an electric car means increased complexity, added weight, and efficiency losses. There are examples of geared electric vehicles: Porsche uses a two-speed gearbox in the back of the Taycan. Early Formula-E (electric racing) days, the cars were running as many as five gears!Why Don't EVs Have Gears?

What Is Rev-Matching? Manual Shifting! Engineering Explained 2024-06-07 | What is rev-matching in a manual transmission? The idea is if you want to shift to a lower gear in a manual transmission vehicle, rev-matching allows for a smooth shift. For a given vehicle speed, the higher the gear you’re in, the lower your engine’s speed. So to downshift from 4th to 3rd the engine speed is going to increase. To compensate for this, the shift is as follows: you push in the clutch, blip the throttle (raising the engine speed to match the next gear), shift from 4th to 3rd as your engine speed climbs, and then let out the clutch. It’s easier on your vehicle, and doesn’t upset the car’s balance while shifting. What Is Rev-Matching?

What Killed The Rotary Engine? Engineering Explained 2024-05-24 | What killed the rotary engine? Wankel engines have struggled to compete with piston cylinder engines, despite their many benefits and overall simplicity. Rotary engines have a long, growing combustion chamber as the rotor spins, making complete combustion difficult - not great for fuel economy. They’re also difficult to seal, and since you have multiple chambers at different stages of combustion, proper seals between chambers is critical. To help promote a good seal, oil is sprayed directly into the combustion chamber. All of this results in an inefficient engine with terrible emissions. You might think that because all of these negative factors exist, it's done for good, but Mazda actually brought back the rotary engine in the MX-30, acting as a single-rotor range extender!What Killed The Rotary Engine (Full Version) - youtu.be/v3uGJGzUYCIMazda's New Rotary Engine - youtu.be/-3gzQVGEqF4Subscribe to Engineering Explained for more videos! - goo.gl/VZstk7Recommended Books & Car Products - http://amzn.to/2BrekJmEE Shirts! - http://bit.ly/2BHsiuoEngineering Explained is a participant in the Amazon Influencer Program.Don't forget to check out my other pages below!Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/engineeringexplainedFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/engineeringexplainedTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/jasonfenske13EE Extra: youtube.com/channel/UCsrY4q8xGPJQbQ8HPQZn6iA

How Steer-By-Wire Works - Tesla Cybertrucks Unique Steering! Engineering Explained 2024-05-10 | Steer-by-wire on a car means there is no physical connection between the steering wheel and the front wheels of the car. This is now a reality thanks to the Cybertruck, the first production vehicle in North America that uses this technology without a mechanical backup steering column. On a traditional car, when you rotate the steering wheel, this passes through the steering column to the steering rack, which moves the steering rack left or right, pulling on tie-rods, pivoting the front wheels based on your input. With steer-by-wire that mechanical connection is gone. When you turn the steering wheel, a sensor sees how much you turn the wheel, and a controller relays that message to the front steering rack, where an electric motor moves the steering rack based on your input, pivoting the front wheels.

How V8 Engines Work (In 60 Seconds) Engineering Explained 2024-04-26 | V8 engines are universally praised by car enthusiasts. The idea is simple: two banks of four cylinders join together in a "V" to form a V8. Each cylinder is working to pull in air & fuel and eventually ignite it to provide the power stroke. This process takes two revolutions of the crankshaft for each cylinder, or 720 degrees of rotation. Since you have eight cylinders, you have a power stroke every 90 degrees of crank rotation, resulting in very smooth power delivery. The engines are used in muscle cars, super cars, and trucks, for their performance advantages and glorious sound - it's why Mustang GT350s, Corvettes, and Ferraris all sound so lovely.

Hyundai Changed The Game - An 8-Speed Electric Car! Engineering Explained 2024-04-19 | Can Hyundai's Ioniq 5 N win over combustion enthusiasts?A performance EV with drift mode, shift mode, and variable torque split!Subscribe for more videos! - goo.gl/VZstk7Hyundai's Ioniq 5 N is a fresh new approach to electric performance vehicles. The car is packed with customizable features so the driver can configure the vehicle to their exact preferences. We'll deep dive into ten of these features, summarized below:1. N Pedal - Developed as a solution to overcome the inherent weight and size of EVs, N Pedal was designed for instant turn-in behavior and enhanced throttle sensitivity, increasing the regenerative force to create a dynamic weight transfer that helps to sharpen corner entry.2. N Torque Distribution - adjusts the front and rear drive ratio, providing fully variable torque distribution that can be adjusted for eleven levels. 3. N Drift Optimizer (w/ Torque Kick Drift) - helps to maintain the drift angle by balancing multiple vehicle controls. The integrated Torque Kick Drift function allows the driver to simulate the clutch kick action of rear-wheel-drive ICE vehicles for driving scenarios that require more immediate drift initiation. 4. N Grin Boost (NGB) - delivers an instant thrust from IONIQ 5 N’s dual motors by increasing the power output and torque for ten seconds 5. N Launch Control - provides maximum traction for the fastest possible start, allowing the driver to launch their vehicle like a professional race car 6. N Race - utilizes a motorsport-derived philosophy that optimizes resources for the best track experience. 7. N Battery Preconditioning - optimizes the temperature of the battery cells to be as efficient as possible.8. N e-Shift simulates the behavior of the eight-speed dual-clutch N DCT of ICE N models by controlling the motor's torque output and power and simulating the jolt feeling between shifts. It provides the push feel of a DCT transmission and various levels of simulated engine braking using regeneration. The purpose is to increase driving fun, provide a more interactive driving experience, and deliver the same emotions of an ICE on a racetrack or a windy road. 9. N Active Sound+ - produces three sounds – ‘Ignition’, an ICE N engine and exhaust sound, and two futuristic EV sounds, including ‘Supersonic’, inspired by fighter jets – through eight internal speakers and two external speakers. Drivers can even rev the “engine” when N e-Shift is activated and transmission is in park or neutral. 10. N Road Sense - automatically recommends that the driver activate N Mode when double-curved road signs are detected. This lets the driver enjoy even more driving fun. Honorable mention: e-LSD - The electronic Limited Slip Differential (e-LSD) controls the amount of torque sent to the rear wheels, enhances handling performance when turning at high speeds, and improves wheel-slip compensation. This is a real, mechanical differential with e-hydraulic locking action for the rear motor!Engineering Explained is a participant in the Amazon Influencer Program.Recommended Books & Car Products - http://amzn.to/2BrekJmEE Shirts! - http://bit.ly/2BHsiuoDon't forget to check out my other pages below!Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/engineeringexplainedFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/engineeringexplainedTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/jasonfenske13EE Extra: youtube.com/channel/UCsrY4q8xGPJQbQ8HPQZn6iA

It comes down to choice. If the driver can choose to put the car in two-wheel drive, but can also select four-wheel drive as an option, that’s 4WD. This is common on trucks and large SUVs; a transfer case allows you to select where the power goes. If the driver doesn’t have a choice, but the vehicle still sends power to all four wheels, this is AWD. This system is always active, and is more commonly found on cars and crossovers.

Teslas 0-60 Times Are Misleading Engineering Explained 2024-03-01 | The performance gap with different Teslas is not as big as it seems. Tesla doesn't hit 60 in under two seconds - youtu.be/i7yigpPSu_oSubscribe to Engineering Explained for more videos! - goo.gl/VZstk7Elon Musk wouldn’t try to deceive you, would he? Well unfortunately Tesla 0-60 times are a bit misleading. For example, Tesla shows a 0-60 in 1.99 seconds on their website for the Model S Plaid, or 3.1 seconds if you opt for the dual motor AWD Model S. But if you click “feature details” a box pops up, informing you that the Plaid’s time is with the first foot of rollout subtracted. But the standard S doesn’t apply this practice. So in reality, the Plaid’s true 0-60 is greater than 1.99 seconds, and the gap in performance between the two Model S’s is not as wide as it seems. And this is true for Tesla’s other Performance models as well.

No, Tesla Cybertruck Is *Not* Faster Than Porsche (While Towing) Engineering Explained 2024-01-12 | Tesla's Cybertruck Can't Beat A New Porsche 911 In The 1/4 Mile (Towing)Cybertruck vs F-150 Tug-of-War Stunt - youtu.be/jzKCJsou10wSubscribe to Engineering Explained for more videos! - goo.gl/VZstk7During Tesla's Cybertruck delivery event, they showcased the Cybertruck performing stunts to show it's performance capabilities versus the competition. One of those stunts was a drag race against a Porsche 911, while *towing* a Porsche 911. Insane, yes! Elon Musk claimed “it can tow a Porsche 911 across the 1/4 mile faster than the Porsche 911 can go by itself" after showing a clip of it beating a Porsche 911 in an 1/8th mile drag race. Fair statement? Not exactly.This video seeks to answer the question: which car is really faster in the 1/4 mile, a 2023 Porsche 911, or Tesla's Cybertruck towing a 911?

Do You Really Need AWD? Settling The Winter Tire Debate Engineering Explained 2023-12-15 | Do you really need winter tires, and do you really need AWD?Thank you to Hankook for sponsoring this video! hankooktire.com/us/en/tire/ion/icept.htmlSubscribe to Engineering Explained for more videos! - goo.gl/VZstk7 Snow covered roads tend to create a debate surrounding snow tires and all-wheel drive – is it all really necessary? In this video we’ll compare summer, all-season, and winter tires performance in the snow, and also discuss the purpose and merits of all-wheel drive. All-wheel drive combined with winter tires can provide confident driving in harsh winter conditions. But what about electric cars? Winter tires pose a unique challenge to electric cars, as they are generally louder, which is more noticeable in EVs. Winter tires also tend to have higher rolling resistance, which reduces your range in an EV. Finally, winter tires use softer compounds, meaning more wear when used by a heavy EV. To maximize winter performance, compromise is inevitable, but Hankook seeks to combat these challenges with their latest tire offering, the iON i*cept winter tire, designed specifically for EVs.

Nothing Brakes Better Than The Ford Mustang Dark Horse - Wait, What?! Engineering Explained 2023-10-06 | How The Ford Mustang Dark Horse Became The King Of BrakingSubscribe to Engineering Explained for more videos! - goo.gl/VZstk7Recommended Books & Car Products - http://amzn.to/2BrekJmEE Shirts! - http://bit.ly/2BHsiuoNothing has ever braked shorter than the Ford Mustang Dark Horse, in the entirety of Motor Trend’s testing. The 5.0L V8 boasts 500 horsepower, meaning the car has both potency and heft, and yet it stops as well as a hypercar. In testing, the Mustang stopped from 60 mph in just 86 feet, nudging out the Porsche 911 GT2 RS, which had the crown for best braking for over 5 years. Who could have guessed it’d be replaced by a muscle car?In this video, we’ll digest the bonkers stats of such braking prowess, discuss whether it is cool or lame, challenge the notion that braking is limited to the best tires (hello McMurtry Speirling), and look at a deceleration trace of one of the best stopping vehicles that exists. Spoiler, the results aren’t at all what one might expect.

The Sketchy Truth About Aftermarket Brake Pads Engineering Explained 2023-09-22 | Let's peel back the friction material on different aftermarket brake pads!We'll examine five different brake pads to see how they differ internally.Sponsored By NRS Brakes - http://www.nrsbrakes.comThere are four fundamental elements of brake pad design that play a critical role in brake functionality and safety. Rust protection for the backing plate, how you attach the friction material to the backing plate, the flatness of the backing plate, and the tolerances of the abutment areas, ensuring the pads slide smoothly within the caliper. In this video, we’re focusing on just one aspect, the attachment of the friction material to the backing plate. We'll inspect five different brake pads: one original equipment, one from NRS Brakes, and three other aftermarket companies. You'll very clearly see the original equipment pads use mechanical attachment, as does NRS, yet two of the aftermarket companies do not. Mechanical attachment uses hooks to ensure a very secure bond between the friction material and the backing plate, which is especially important for applications that see high heat. Heat can break down adhesives, whereas the mechanical attachment will remain strong. Yes, you can buy brake pads designed for the exact same vehicle, without ever knowing that they don’t feature the technology that the original equipment pads specify.

Toyota Developed A Liquid Hydrogen Combustion Engine! Engineering Explained 2023-08-11 | Can Toyota save the combustion engine by using liquid hydrogen?Subscribe to Engineering Explained for more videos! - goo.gl/VZstk7Recommended Books & Car Products - http://amzn.to/2BrekJmEE Shirts! - http://bit.ly/2BHsiuoToyota surprised me once again, announcing they've raced with liquid nitrogen in the Fuji 24 Hour race, accomplishing what they claim is the first for any manufacturer. No one has raced with liquid hydrogen! The technology is awesome, as it allows for a lot more hydrogen storage versus gaseous hydrogen (stored at 700 bar). Here, the low pressure liquid must be kept at -253ºC, however, which is quite a challenge. According to Toyota, this project had three main challenges:1. Keeping the liquid hydrogen at a very low temperature.2. Maintaining the efficiency and capacity of the fuel pump.3. Controlling the pumped liquid hydrogen, as it converts to gas. We'll also discuss another issue that exist with hydrogen, which is how much space it takes up, despite having a better energy density by mass than gasoline. Unfortunately, the energy density by volume is quite a different story.
