Gasoline - How it works | Science Garage | Donut Media

The science behind gasoline. Everything you need to know about gas. Combustion, Octane, engines and more. How do different octane ratings affect your engine and the performance of your car? To find out, Bart blows up a 5 gallon jug full of gas! It’s fun and informative- it’s Science Garage!
Bart teaches us how cars work by blowing stuff up and cutting things in half. It’s a science show for the car lover who’s easily bored. Join Bart as he explains the science behind everything automotive. This is cars down to the atom. This is Science Garage.

[@Quintinohthree]

Lewis Allen Methanol is sweet. Not something you should drink but if you follow a sip of methanolup with a good shot of Everclear or a couple shots of your favorite liquor, you should be mostly fine. Limonene or some other terpenes might work well as a fuel too but that's more for the smell than the taste.

HOW THE HELL DOES THIS DSG TRANSMISSION WORK?

There are 2 clutches one for odd..no. of gear one ...for even ...it engages and disengages lightning fast speed...coz when one is engaged other one is ready for action....

[@ian93sc28]

[@kianduesing]

Basically extra gears are added to the regular transmission

[@SI0AX]

DSG is basically a "Dual-Clutch Transmission", it's works the same as any other DCT system like the unreliable Ford powershift DCT, the Mitsubishi DCT, and the Porsche PDK. Edit: This video explains it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYDGmotsoMmYrqc

0:30 Oil comes almost exclusively from dead plankton settling to the ocean bottom over hundreds of millions of years. Dinosaurs mostly turned into coal..... although most coal comes from the early days of trees on earth, before fungus really got good at eating the dead trees before they got buried underground by erosion

[@seriousgoat76]

Plankton are single celled organism's they dont have the biomass needed.

[@FarrYaweh]

no, not all plankton are single celled. Jellyfish, are actually a form of plankton. Some can grow to be several times the size of a grown man.

[@coygirard2973]

Its MAGIC at least google shit before acting like you know

[@danielash9834]

Sounds scientific, but not scientifically possible. The reason oil is diffrent to coal is becaues of the presence or absence of exposure to atmospheric oxygen during a global flood.. Yes.... high concentrations of plankton are in oil this is because big things and little things collect in different zones during violent fluid suspension (global flood) . This can be tested, proven and repeated. ...science.

[@dfgyuhdd]

That doesn't sound right but I don't know enough about stars to dispute it.

Glad to see this in my recommended videos today. According to my comment from 3 years ago, I was pretty hyped when this came out.

[@LordPenguinYourLeige]

I'm glad that you explained octane ratings a bit. Far too many people are under the impression that those numbers are meaningless. I've always run the 91 or 93(sunoco) because I treat every vehicle like it's a race car. You know what has never happened to me? Engine failures of any kind. Though I've been down over suspension issues many times.

Science of catalytic converters?

[@seriousgoat76]

It works the same how rain drops form, nothing too complex happens in them.

[@Quintinohthree]

Its MAGIC Rain drop formation is really complex. Did you know rain drops technically shouldn't form from pure water vapour? Anyway, no, that's not how catalytic converters work at all.

[@seriousgoat76]

It is, the metals found in the cat act as a catalyst for the dangerous fumes, turning them into something less dangerous, same as a raindrop, all the dust particles in the air act as a catalyst for the water vapor to stick to.

[@Quintinohthree]

Its MAGIC That's not what a catalyst is! A catalyst increases the rate of a chemical reaction without being consumed. Rain drop formation turns water into water. What the dust does is called nucleation. Very different thing.

How is E85 different in compression or in performance compared to pump gas? Plz make another episode on this

[@YourAverageEmile]

E85 has a lot higher octane rating than petrol, about 100 - 105. This makes it alot more stable and resistant agains engine knock and preignition allowing for higher compression, giving more power. Also, E85 burns much cooler than petrol so it helps control cylinder temperature also aiding in thermal efficentcy. Drawback is that E85 contains about 33% less energy per litre compared to petrol so you need to inject more per stroke to equal out

[@ablanuza76]
