[@yash_kambli]

2:35 u were slightly wrong here. Piston didn't take more or less time to travel BDC to TDC, they did in a exact same time in either cases only the piston speed is vary. At similar rpm long stroke engine would have much higher piston speed than short stroke, which limits the rpm to go higher. 2. Short stroke engines does suffer from more heat losses due to More surface area is exposed in very beginning of combustion, when piston is at TDC. This is where piston experience highest peak force due to peak pressure. 3. Long stroke engine produces more torque at lower rpm bcoz high piston speed n small valves results in high velocity incoming charge, forming a strong swirl (a turbulent motion) which leads to faster burning. It's very important to minimise heat losses as it reduce the ignition timing. Less heat loss= high peak pressure= high peak torque.

[@sodazman]

Diesel engines produce more torque mainly due to the fuel and compression ratio being typically over 20:1. Also, when you increase the stroke of the engine while keeping the bore the same, the capacity goes up and that increases torque. Hence why companies sell stroker kits for engines. Naturally aspirated F1 cars (V8/V10) produce significantly less torque (around 350nm) than many high performance cars. It makes power (over 700hp) but low torque relatively speaking. However, it doesn't need much torque to move the car due to the low kerb weight and that it exclusively runs at high RPM being a race engine.

[@waniiiii707]

If I m not wrong ,I would like to say that a long connecting rod would result in great efficiency than short because of little angle produced at piston pin. As the push from piston gets split into two components sin and cos . Rest u understand

You forgot to mention piston speed (and its limits) as a factor : over squared engines can run higher rpm's with equal or even lower piston speeds

[@thegipset5327]

Equal piston speed? Does that mean the over squared and undersquared piston reach tdc and bdc at the same time? Than both have equal rpm

[@thegipset5327]

Or equal piston speed as they move for m/s?

[@zmike9831]

this video explained a lot of stuff that other people missed,but i also feel that you gave over-squared engines a little to much dirt,i believe both are equal when i comes to reliability,its just usually oversquareds are used in applications were they destroy themself's to do there intended purpose while undersquared engines are used in applications were reliability is targeted or the engine is safe zoned so it cant do such thing.i believe in the end its just preference.

In long stroke engines you either put 3 spark plugs, or change piston geometry. Like Mazda did in their engines

[@MrAndrius12]

This video actually caused me to go and calculate everything for myself, as I have been told before the exact opposite, that longer stroke has less surface area. Funny enough, this video was correct, the one with the bigger stroke has slightly less surface area in the cylinder. Then I looked into big cylinder vs more cylinders (i.e. trucks vs sports cars) and found that with a truck's long stroke (but decent size bore too) giving around 1 liter per cylinder vs a slightly over-square engine with 0.5 liters per cylinder, the truck had around ~90% of the surface area as the sports car. Kind of fascinating and weird at the same time.

[@MrAndrius12]

My bad, I actually forgot one part of the equation. I calculated the surface area of the cylinder walls, but forgot the top and bottom (assuming they were flat circles). This time I re-calculated and the results were actually pretty close... But the longer stroke engine actually had a slight bit less surface area (I'm talking not even 1% difference here). For this example I used the OM606 engine which has a bore:stroke of 87:84 and the M57 which has a bore:stroke of 84:90.

[@amorag59]

My Name Is Hello One important factor that he is ignoring when it came to surface area heat loss (5:27) is that the hottest part of the combustion happens at the top during combustion. The cylinder head (combustion chamber, thus more of a factor in big bore oversquare engines) is exposed to this entire high pressure/temperature charge. As the piston moves down the charge decreases in pressure and temperature dramatically. Only a sliver of the cylinder wall sees this high temp/pressure charge volume. The statement about an undersquare engine having more heat loss just because it has more surface area (due to the math involved in lengthening a cylinder) is very misleading and in most cases false.

[@MrAndrius12]

@@amorag59 True

[@zvonimirskvorc3006]

Yeah but 9.0l stroker out of 8.4l viper does produce more tq since piston stroke is longer idk I learn about this stuff in school and come here where you say that engines with longer stroke produce the same tq as the ones with shorter stroke

[@sv21turbo]

Unfair to Engineering Explained. You're pitting two different excellent teachers against each other. Simply take what you can from each and leave the rest.

[@johnbarron4265]

In engines that have a cast iron block, wouldn't the undersquare design result in less heat loss, since a smaller proportion of the surface area of the combustion chamber is in contact with the more thermally conductive aluminium surfaces of the piston and cylinder head?

[@wickiezulu]

How does cylinder centre distance / bore spacing impact the ability of an engine's ability to grow in terms of further increases in bore and stroke? For example could a 4-cylinder 895cc engine with a 72mm bore x 55m stroke and a 93mm cylinder centre distance have a greater potential of growing larger compared to say the Suzuki G with its 84mm bore spacing at 1.6-litres or a 4-cylinder version of the BMW M20 6-cylinder with a bore spacing of 91mm?

Slow speed engine is always supercharged or turbo charged as it take more force to start

[@rahulseran762]

Respect

[@kuldeepgowda9508]

I think the force will always be multiplied with the distance on this principle only the torque wrench works in the same manner we can expect the torque to be more in undersaquare engines compared to overquare engines

[@UntangleClub]

It's true that as length of stroke increases the leverage increases giving more torque multiplication but there's one thing which can't be missed either. As you said about torque wrench, let's take that example. The torque applied by same torque wrench differs if it is operated by an adult or child, the only reason is, both apply different amount of forces. Similarly when considering for Same displacement, as you increase stroke area of piston crown decreases, so the pressure of combustion get's less area to act decreasing the resultant force pushing the piston. Hence torque applied is same as torque applied by adult using great force but with short wrench is equal to that of a kid using less force but with way long wrench. Hope it answered your question.😄

[@pranjalsharma479]

Hey please help me with this Over square go to a higher rpm And these type of engines are in F1 cars They use petrol as fuel While trucks use under square engines they use diesel as fuel Diesel requires higher pressure for ignition while petrol is uncontrollable at high pressure so they use spark plugs Trucks need torque more than horse power so they have undersquare engines . I think the bore and stroke ratio is mostly related to type of fuel used Diesel has higher energy than petrol but diesel engines need to be better sealed I would conclude that Petrol over square engines will produce more power and diesel under square engines will produce more torque

[@kuldeepgowda9508]

@@pranjalsharma479 first is you will have to change your parts like piston, valves, cam and crankshaft to lighter ones like forged alumnium kind so that it won't rupture under high rpm Then upon your need choose the supercharger or turbocharger volume

Nice vid.Under square engine does produce more tourqe as more leverage on crank vs square our over square why do over square acceleration faster because rpm vs square or under square engine.over square has more piston area which puts more load and wear into main bearings vs square our under square engine.Over square get rid off heat better due to larger bore where under square have friction power loss compared to square over square engine.

Actually y royal enfield produces higher torque. All coz of that long stroke ryt.??? But then you said even a less stroke engines can also produce the same torque, then y does other sports bike doesn't produce as much torque on a lesser rpm like royal enfields does.??

[@Nirojgansi]

4:40 sports car accelerates 0-60 "that fast" because they have more 'Torque'?? The most stupidest answer I have ever heard.. It is the power of the engine that matters, Not torque!. It is the "Torque seen at the Wheel" that determines the acceleration of vehicle, Not torque seen at the Crank shaft!!! Wheel torque highly depends upon "Gear Ratio" of transmission and very little on engine torque. Do more research before fooling innocent people. And yes, longer piston stroke allows greater expansion of burnt gas, producing more "Torque". 4:05 Your imprudent assumption of constant pressure exerted on piston head throughout the stroke length is completely BS!.

[@MAsWorld1]

There is a lot missing here

[@weactive8717]

Long stroke = elephant Over bore = cheetah

[@montassrbensaid9981]

thank you for your video but i think there is something wrong about torque T=F*R F: it's force from internal combustion while we have the same type of fuel and the same displacement so we can say that over-square engine and under-square engine have same force so the torque is diffrent please your answer it's very important

[@UntangleClub]

Power is dependent upon fuel type, efficiency, and and amount of fuel burnt. If fuel type is same efficiency is same, displacement and rpm is same then the generated power will be same. Power is ultimately torque and rpm. If rpm is same so will torque be different ?

[@montassrbensaid9981]

torque will be diffrent because of radius we don't lose force from under-square engine for example the force of 2l fuel will stay the same in any shape :P=f/A piston. how the A piston can give us more force with relation and with same amount of fuel please can you show me some graphs how torque is the some for both engine

[@montassrbensaid9981]

does these engines have the same pressure

[@Pork-Chopper]

Well, all this makes sense, however, You can also use "heavier" flywheels or crankshafts to "increase" torque". Remember, heavy flywheels store energy, so once moving, it takes less energy, or horsepower to keep rotating. Torque is the twisting force that does the work. Horsepower just keeps the flywheels turning.... More horsepower is made at the expense of burning more fuel, but not necessarily produce more torque...

I am gonna add something here, comparing a diesel engine to a gasoline engine is like comparing a sledge hammer to a tack hammer! The different fuels with the Joules input to the actual joules output no matter the displacement higher joules win. More Air, more Joules + More power! I used joules for the European scientific community. But I am going to explain what Horse power is! RPM x TORQUE / 5252. Torque moves mountains, rpm moves less of the mountain at a faster rate= but the mountain is moved in the same time with the same energy.
