1:37 Minor correction: The fuel-air mixture is specific to gasoline engines only. In diesel engines, air is compressed first, and then diesel is sprayed onto it. This method allows for greater air compression without the risk of the mixture self-igniting, resulting in more thermal efficiency which can yield more power from the same amount of fuel. This is one of the reasons diesel engines are more efficient than gasoline ones.

That's right. Only one small correction: diesel creates more power for the same amount of ENERGY, not necessarily fuel, since diesel and gasoline have different calorific values (energy per quilogram of fuel). To make a complete comparison, you would have to take into account the density and calorific value. Also one would need to specify if he is comparing on a mass base or volume base.

One concern that wasn't mentioned is that the manufacturing process of EVs itself is incredibly polluting (primarily the batteries), so depending on how long the EV is used for + where its energy comes from (i.e., renewable sources or not) EVs could end up being only slightly better (if at all) than a combustion engine. But hopefully we find solutions to those issues soon.

Plus, renewables and battery tech are some of the fastest growing research fields on earth right now. I wouldn't lose hope yet! People all around the world on working on these issues right now.

But you can also always put it in neutral if you're gliding fast enough or downhill at all, or use the clutch.

@josipkrnjic279

I think this video is too-simplfied, where some statements are false. Yes, in non-turbo gas cars, the gas pedal directly controls air intake valve into the carburetor. The air intake is also connected with the fuel intake using venturi valve - meaning more air -> higher air pressure -> higher gas intake. A lot of cars today use turbo and turbodiesel, as you said, you have direct injection, no carburetor, air coming from turbo... much more complicated system and much bigger involvement of computer to create this air and fuel mixture. Few other things to mention about the video: - There are 3 cylinder engines now, very efficient - We cannot talk about EV, without mentioning the power to weight ratio of gas compared to batteries. Every EV that can take highways, with real (not advertised) range of 500km has like 2.5 tonnes because of batteries. Cars are almost like tanks, having much more energy in car accidents.

I love the work you guys/gals do in entertaining and educating, and this video is no exception. I only wish you had also mentioned highway efficiency comparisons of electric and ICE vehicles. Electric cars are phenomenal for city driving, but consume more and more energy as the speed to maintain increases.

A small footnote on EV energy / carbon efficiency: Even if an EV is charged with electricity from a fossil fuel power plant like coal or natural gas, the carbon output per mile is lower than that of internal combustion engines, as most powerplants are vastly more efficient (turning a higher % of fuel to energy) than a regular fuel-powered car's engine. And yes this accounts for conversion losses with charging / discharging the battery.

Hey Ted Ed can you make video on how to disfocus from previous task

There are no "explosions" in an ICE. That would blow the engine up. They are slow, controlled burns called "deflagration"

As mentioned in the video, a normal combustion engine has a lot of moving parts. Each interaction is a point of friction and therefore loss of energy. Another thing to keep in mind is that they require cooling, oiling, and quality of life accessories. That means pumps to move various liquids around. Coolant and oil to keep the engine from destroying itself. Hydraulic fluids for power steering and breaking. Even your AC requires a pump and fan to cool your cabin. These are all leeches on power that would otherwise go towards the wheels. If you ever wonder why we have turbochargers instead of superchargers, this is the main reason why. Supers are driven by a belt connected to the engine, another power leech. You still gain more power than is lost, but worse than a turbo. Turbos, on the other hand, are driven by the exhaust of the engine, energy that would've been gone out of the tailpipe. There is still a small loss in power from a turbo, but that's mostly because it requires the engine to do a little bit more work to push exhaust through the turbo. For both chargers, the reason why you gain more power than is lost is because they compress the incoming air for the engine. More air means more fuel and better combustion.

@@catdogmousecheese Not necessarily. Highly depends on where you are charging your EV. At home, sure - depending on where you live you only have a low voltage to fuel your car, but that shouldn’t be concerning as you typically charge over night. At gas stations, at least in Germany, there are most of the time super chargers, which let you charge your EV with up to 250kW. In my experience the charging process often only takes about 15 Minutes to get from 15 to 90%. That time is quite practical to get to the restroom, get something to eat or just walk around and relax your feet.

being a auto mechanic doesnt mean to work only with one type of engine, at least in my opinion

You really need to do a talk on the latest Formula One engines

No need, Ms. Frizzle taught me years ago on a very special episode of the Magic School Bus.

The video we’ve always wanted 🎉😮

correction : trains. Also, electric cars do emit particles through tires and suspensions

Now these are the questions I care about.

I never expected to see something i already know in this channel. Of course i study Mechanic Engineering so its logic that no everyone knows this

I wish people talked more about ethanol engines.

Wow.I really learnt alot about engines

Incredible animation
