Wait, so you're gonna talk about America and mention Ford and Chevy but not Dodge like they didn't make the viper acr na 645hp v10 years ago? Also they make drop in motors aswell like chevy except they aren't Na and they stop at 1500 hp blown.
@LittleHomoro29 күн бұрын
Thanks for watching! As I mentioned at the beginning of the video, my focus was only on naturally aspirated engines, which is why supercharged or turbocharged engines weren’t included. The Viper ACR’s 8.4L V10 makes 645 hp, which results in about 76.8 hp per liter. When you compare that to the NA engines I discussed in the video, like the 5.2L Ford GT350 with 526 hp (101 hp per liter) or the 4.0L Porsche 911 GT3 with 518 hp (129.5 hp per liter), the Dodge engine has a lower specific output. Dodge makes some incredibly powerful engines, especially with superchargers, but since I was only focusing on naturally aspirated engines, I didn't include them

I appreciate you Love for the US, but Turbo chargers and Super Chargers are not included.. You should have known that from the LFA V10 engine with a single clutch 😊
@joshreynolds72929 күн бұрын
@siriussam2301 lfa engine is na. What's does that have to do with turbos superchargers and a single clutch that has to do with the trans. Did you see any boosted cars? I didn't. Also if boost was in there then nobody would care in terms of power what the lfa na makes it was under powered factory because it took so long to produce the competition ended up releasing multiple cars by then with updated electronics and more power and thats why it didn't sell and also why its a single clutch. If boost was on the table, then there is a whole slew of motors, making way more power than the majority of these cars on here.

You should compare the turbine engine in the car you presented with the turboprop engine used in aircraft. They are similar in the sense that as much of the power as possible is extracted via turbine wheels instead of being used directly for propulsion as on a jet engine

The Wankel engine as sold today is a geometrical inversion, designed by Walter Froede of NSU, around the Felix Wankel prototype, so unpraktisch that plugs were in the Rotor recess. Felix Wankel applied for a patent before WW, something close to the 'Tri-dyne' engine, no similarities to what Mazda produces today. F Wankel designed a Rotary Valve torpedo engine at Junkers, similar to Reynolds patent around 1911

A turbine engine is not fuel efficient... Unless you count that it uses cheaper fuel than gasoline. A v-4 in not any more efficient than a equal displacement inlin 4. And it has more "rock & shake" that has to be compensated for by the use of counter-balance shafts.
@LittleHomoroАй бұрын
Hey, thanks for the comment! Yeah, turbine engines can seem less fuel-efficient, especially at low speeds or for everyday driving. But they’re actually made for things like high-speed travel (think jets), where they work best. They’re super lightweight and powerful, which is why they’re sometimes used in cars as more of a cool experiment. Every engine has its place, though pretty wild how they all work differently! 😉
