@@academiaengineering5136 A bit more complex than that Fabian. I was the math teacher out the front for apprenticeships for motor mechanics. We have a syllabus that has to be covered in a set time. We have students that have poor maths and numbers skills and that can be due to a lack of application by students before they reach trade school, or a lack of support by the community for education funding. And of course there are terrible teachers. In Australia we offered after class support and a significant number of students wanted the 20 minute fix. Came once and found they had to work. That was me when younger and ended up expelled. I video all my classes and make them available. We could track student access and we found a small group accesses the online videos.

@Mraut0MATTic

no way we have the same pfp

For a given displacement, a bigger bore will exert a stronger force on the crank throw, which compensates for a shorter stroke. The reason is because as the bore gets bigger, the piston top has a larger area for combustion pressure to work on. So from a torque perspective (F x L), bore increases F, but stroke increases L. The bigger bore allows for higher revving though.

@blakemcdowell4146

I would figure stroke allows higher revving. Bore allows for higher torque at lower RPM?

@flinch622

In a pure moment, yes. But remembering flame propagation of most fuel types is about the same speed no matter the rpm or bore size, peak pressures will differ on oversquare vs undersquare designs. So two things happen. Timing will be diferent between the two to get best hp output, and rod vs crank angle will be different at time of peak pressure - torque output necessarily is different. The F1 guys get deep into fuel choice factors which... I'm no chemist, so just tip my hat to the unreal time investment of development and testing optimizing milliseconds of every cycle..

Lets go a little further. The longer connecting rods mean the angles at which they connect to the crankshaft are greater which gives it more leverage making it take less energy to move the crankshaft on a longer stroke. This is why longer strokes generate more low end torque. I would love to see more detailed videos like these. I ran the car club at my technical college where I got my automotive degree. I share your videos with students all the time. Keep up the amazingly detailed videos.

Great video! In going with a longer stroke, I wish you mentioned stroke to rod ratio. This is the relationship between the stroke length and piston rods. The lower the rod ratio, the greater the side forces exerted by the pistons against the cylinder walls. At some point, some of your energy is extremes against cylinder walls instead of up and down motion which increases wear against the cylinder wall. With a short rod and long stroke when the crank is halfway between the bottom and top (9 o’clock or 3 o’clock positions) the angle of the rod will be pushing the piston up against the cylinder wall resulting in some efficiency lost compared to a longer rod with the same stroke.

A short rod to stoke ratio moves the point of peak piston speed to a higher point - closer to TDC. Having the point of peak piston speed closer to TDC means that the piston moves further during the combustion period and this reduces the thermal efficiency of the engine. In building high performance engines i have used longer than standard rods and used pistons that feature a higher gudeon pin. I have seen pistons that have the gudeon pin so high that it is no longer located below the oil scraper ring.

A larger stroke requirea a larger diameter crankshaft That means the crank shaft will be pulling the rod further sideways Increasing wear on the cylinder walls This be mitigated by going with much longer rods to reduce the angle of the rods But since long bores already tall, thats hard to do.

This was very insightful on various fronts.

This guy just makes everyone enjoy listening and easy to understand all the complicated stuff. Really enjoy this guy explain things. Just a quick question: I have not come across any information, video or anything that explains as to why a piston has to be round and if it was ever tried to be in a square or other shape.

Truly one of the greatest videos of all time ... Excellent work.

Thank you for your efforts and your way to make complicated things sounding easier! :-D

I’ve had a bunch of different BMW’s over the years but my favorite was the E28 520i with 2.0 liter inline 6. It was a smooth as butter and sounded awesome. 80mm bore x 66mm stroke

The smoothness of BMW's inline 6 has nothing to with bore or stroke. An inline 6 has no primary nor secondary imbalances. The engine itself runs smooth naturally. When all internal parts are perfectly balanced in a straight six they can be one of the worlds best engines, look at Toyota's JZ and Nissan's RB engines for example. What BMW did in the 80s and 90s was using heavy flywheels on the 6 cylinder engines as well. This adds another type of smoothness because a heavy flywheel increases smoothness in drivability (not the engine).

The 2.0 liter engine runs way smoother than its 2.5 liter brother. I own both engines. So your theories may overlook some facts.

this video is equivalent to 3 years of engineering classes .. so useful, very didactic , the best video about engines i have ever seen !

As a former instructor (of Electrical Engineering) this guy is great. "Pull back the curtain" was a catch phrase in my classroom. Too often the instructor winds up down in some esoteric corner and students can't see the whole picture. Obviously there's a lot going on here....highly simplified...but after this presentation the typical (young) engineering student is ready for deeper concepts. Excellent! Now we're ready for "volumetric efficiency".....

Awesome video I've often wondered this exact thing!

Thanks for putting this on, I actually think about bore and stroke all the time. Wouldn't it be fun to have a machine shop where you could build any kind of engine you'd like just to see it run? Also, there are so many more things that could be included in this video it would put us all to sleep, now where's my calculator?

Extremely well explained and illustrated.

I set out to optimize a small motorcycle engine. I stroked it to a 13-1 compression ratio and used a cam modeled after an RV motorhome. It left the intake valve open just long enough to lower the ratio to about 10-1, giving me the advantage of the longer stroke, being able to run on pump gas and being easier to start with a nice idle thrown in, to boot.

Its so good to see Metric being used!

Engines are generally more efficient with fewer cylinders for a given displacement because there is less total friction. Only past a certain cylinder bore can it become an issue due to excessively long distances for the flame to travel. Diesels are less affected by this than gasoline engines because of the different combustion (the flame doesn't need to travel the whole volume of the cylinder, as long as an adequate amount of oxygen is still present near the injector).

That was a hell of an explanation bud. Thank you!

You are absolutely incredible in the clarity of your explanations. I'm not a science student but I'm definitely in love with science stuff. You make it so easy for me to understand all this cool stuff. I want you to be my teacher forever (I wanna be your student forever). Keep up the great work 👍🏾

Thanks for watching! :)

What was not talked about is rod length and how it affects the overall performance and combustion effeciency. Generally speaking a long rod length promotes a better combustion because the leverage of the rod keeps the piston at TDC longer as it sweeps over allowing to burn more fuel and air. And, some builders will claim a shorter rod creates more wear and tear because of the angularity of the rod and more scraping of the piston skirt on the walls of the cylinder. But, some also claim that initially, a shorter rod gives more leverage off the line.

I seen info that the ideal stroke to rod length ratio is 1.75. How true that actually is I'm not sure. Stan Wiess has a web site with data on rod ratios, bore and stroke etc. A Chevy 327 is 1.7538. A Buick V-6 or 300 SB is 1.7529. A lot of Hondas are around 1.5. The only engine I can find data on that is right at 1.75 is an AMC 232. There's another factor that enters into this. And that's deck height. Plus with a really small bore and long stroke you start running into clearance issues unless the bore is noted or the deck height gets really tall. Big bores raise another issue. Unless you siamese the cylinders the crank gets really long. A good example of the effect on deck height is the Boss 302 vs the 302 in the Z-28. Both 4" bore with a 3.0 stroke. But the Chevy rod 5.700 while the Ford is 5.150. The rod to stoke ratios are 1.8968 vs 1.7166 respectively. The Ford could actually accommodate a longer rod by the use of a piston with the wrist pin higher in the piston. There are a large number of factors involved in the design of any engine. Longer rods, more reciprocating mass. Short deck height, smaller packaging. Plus on a OHV engine lower deck height, shorter pushrods*. Yes I know OHV is practically prehistoric technology. But ask yourself. Just how many drivers really make use of all the engine power they have any way *Another way to shorten push rods is to make the rocker arms so the pushrod seat is below the pivot point of the rocker. Another way is to place the camshaft much higher in the block so that the lifters are pretty much even with the deck face. Renault actually built a 1.6 liter with this set-up. Very short pushrods, cross flow head and a hemispherical combustion chamber. I've often wondered just how a V-8 with 2 camshafts mounted high in the block would be like. I don't know if it's ever been done.

Professor! Your lessons are top notch! Frankly, I don't know how you do it, without taking a breath!

Very informative, more than I could take in on “one” watching. Thanks for the lesson.

Hey! Love your videos. In regards to small bore, long stroke engines, do you think it would be possible/beneficial to have a single VERY large valve in the combustion chamber to allow for more airflow (or have multiple valves that all open at the same time), and have separate valves in the intake/exhaust manifolds (or somewhere close to the combustion chamber) to determine air flow direction?

When I first started my Mechanical Engineering studies to improve my Race Engine Building, my professor told the class it's physically IMPOSSIBLE for a car to accelerate from a standing start, and go 300 m.p.h. in 1320 feet. I left the class and began my Engine Building career without my degree. Thank GOD.

The main problem is that their cylinders vary... Not to mention how lightweight(usually brittle material, even if they are selflubricated, if somewhat used, not hundred thousand miles used old ones, can tear and the walls can start to leak) their cyl.are.. so the piston can be too big too

I've always heard that small bore, long stroke engines are more efficient because they have more "time" (remember crank angle = time in an engine 😉) for the fuel to burn, giving more time to extract that useful energy

Most of the old farm tractors, IH-Farmall, Case, John Deere 270 "Johnny Pop" etc. all had long stroke and narrow bores; 2 to 1 or greater. Better for torque and lugging, pulling plows and slow driving. Very good presentation.

for coming up short, it's more correct than you realise, because diesel is more prevalent than petrol in the construction industry (source: I'm a crane operator and I've yet to see a petrol-powered crane, they're all diesels, and the 'capacty vs recharge' issue around electric is why I don't think they'll ever catch on for construction.) Diesel, tends for a higher-compression, so it'll have a longer stroke to bore. And since everything in construction is diesel, it means everything is a longstroke. and so being called a shortstroker, is basically saying you're stalling on the job. Also doubles for applications where the torque is really needed rather than horse power but you bring a 'petrol' to do the job. It aint gonna cut it mate.

I already know this one's gonna be good!

Thank you for explaining all these things

Thanks for your explanation, very nice. I have been a mechanic for years and years and the 'best' engines I have come across all seem to be 'square' they seem to have the best combination of power, torque, smooth running and reliability. Look at BMW, 2 litre 4 cyl, 3l 6 cyl, 4 litre 8 cyl, all square engines with the advantage they only need to make one size piston for all of them.
