Bro woke up, noticed the draught air flow through his flat, and was like "yep, this is my moment to explain how carburetors work". Amazing work, as always.

[@GrimReaping]

I have learned more about engines from you in the last year than I have by working on engines for the past 10 years. I knew generally how things worked and the mechanical part of it, but you have such a great way of explaining the physics of it all. Thank you for making these videos, man.

[@d4a]

Thank you so much for the kind words

[@SpeedFreak0122]

I have never seen/heard a clearer explanation of how a carburettor works than this. Thank you!

[@eTiMaGo]

Such a complicated explanation for a simple answer: ghosts

[@d4a]

Trying to hide the truth with science! I'm waiting for someone to comment how they can see strings pulling the door 😂

[@cat81702]

I always knew that ghosts actually operate carburetors

[@brewmental]

You really do have a terrific ability to develope an idea. A one sided discussion with a camera, but somehow make me feel included. A great analogy this time too. Thank you!

[@AnthonyCelata]

Only a true gear head would see this happening in his home and immediately think... Carburetor!

[@WolfmanDude]

I just finished your "iconic engine" playlist and loved every second! Maybe you could do a video series on the most terrible engines ever made? It would be sooo interesting to see what went wrong on a in-depth technical level! Your calm, factual and neutral video style would be perfect for this, analyzing if the hate for each engine is really justified.

[@LyvTube]

I've never studied mechanics in school or with professionals but i've always wondered how the hell all those pieces of technology work, and you systematicaly deliver clear and visual, tangible answers to those questions so well and in a way everybody, at least with a little bit of will, can understand them. I don't say i'll remember them for ever but at least, you nail it every time, no matter the subject .... thanks so much for the energy and time you put in your explanations to teach us things !!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@yuriibubis574]

This guy has some amazing ability to entertain with educational videos Huge thanks for your work my brother!

[@โนรีคอกเบิร์น]

It's way outside the box, but every word and every aspect, every analogy are very true. I guess it's a bit like seatbelt and crash helmet laws, only the converted / educated really appreciate the intracasies of it all. You have raised 1 point though. The importance of lamina flow through carb design. As your hall door (throtle slide) was closing, we know the low pressure fast moving air would be tearing itself away from the flat surface of the door and causing vauticies. We can't allow such vauticies on a carb. So keeping the carb air passages /surfaces clean or polished is important. We can learn from this, that a dirty carb facilitates better low end power because of a greater turbulence vs a shiney clean carb producing greater top end power due to greater volumetric efficiency.

[@rob5944]

Like most other people of a certain age I remember having car troubles with carburettors quite often. In fact the store where I worked used to sell conversion kits for manual chokes. Since the advent of fuel injection in mass produced cars became widespread I've personally never had a single issue with fuel delivery. No more having to adjust this and that and fiddling around upon cold start-up's, more economy and power with lower emissions. It's all good as far as I'm concerned, thanks for the video though!

Physics is fun. A knowledge of it is useful in many ways, including ; . To understand/make useful things . To contradict people without such knowledge, who claim to be quoting "experts". Consider weather fools, and this is known as a Logical Fallacy : the "appeal to authority" Fallacy. Great to hear someone who understands and clearly explains a subject. You sir, are such a man.

[@ronchang9791]

Wow, that's amazing 😅. When I was working at a pizza place, I once described to a coworker how a bypass shock on a trophy truck worked by sending employees to the front register and opening/closing the side door to let someone get there externally 😂.

[@szymoniak75]

damn its really impressive how some smart people came up with this. Also, great job on explaining, it's very clear. BTW, your demonstration would be even better if you used some visible gas to show the air flow in the carburetor

[@photohounds]

There are several CLEAR carburettor videos online, so you can see the process in real time. Worth a search.

[@CMDRSweeper]

I think we can safely say that it wasn't just one smart man inventing this from scratch. Basically it has all happened in increments with small steps, the next was one step to improve, suddenly you have a carb that works. I bet the first part was just a manually controlled fuel leak / leaking hose.

Came here with a good idea of how a carburetor works, but left finally learning what the heck the "choke" was for. Outside of a small gas lawn mower engine, I'd never had to think about the choke before. I'm just gonna keep binging your videos, because there seems to be a lot that I don't know and even worse--there's a lot I don't know that I don't know.

Amazing to see that today's kids still know what a carburetor is.

[@gregholloway2656]

Great explanation, d4a! Perhaps a followup would be an explanation of efi, and how numerous sensors and a computer allows the precise amount of fuel needed to be known. Also how efi can compensate for elevation change, but a carburetor cannot.

[@banpeinet]

And I thought I knew perfectly well how a carburetor worked, but this explanation just blew my mind! 🤯 And I didn't realize you had a family and kids! Again I was wrong there, unless those toys are actually yours! 😂

İt is really good and well explanation of Bernoulli's volume ...... In our school they be come explain it very hard and......

[@jocrp6]

Question? So why do cold engines need a choke or more fuel?

[@d4a]

Because the fuel ends up sticking to the cold internal walls so less of it gets into the engine. This happens because the engine isn't hot enough yet to vaporize the fuel.

[@jocrp6]

Kudos!@@d4a

So what we call "promaja" is just our homes being oversized carbs. :)

[@kamotecruiser4083]

"path of least resistance" is the thing between idle and throttle piston. When throttle piston is up, the air coming in favors the larger entry.

[@streets_mechanic]

4:16 l believe you wanted to say that they bump towards the direction of the incoming air since let's say a moving molecule bumps away a molecule of standing air the other molecule that travels next to the moving molecule will bump it towards the movement eventually ... try to throw a ball from one side to the other of a billiard with balls moving vertical ... will never reach the other side but eventually will flow with the flow of the vertical balls instead

[@waldolemmer]

What's the difference betwee Bernoulli's principle and the Venturi effect? I always hear one of these mentioned in videos about carburetors

[@d4a]

You could say that the Venturi effect is a consequence of the Bernoulli principle. One is a principle, a more general statement, the other is an effect, which is a more specific application of a principle. But they both deal with the same phenomena.

Of all the automotive channels out there, yours is one of the few that is truly informative. The whole boost school series you did before was fascinating.

[@Guynhistruck]

Another good real-life example is going to a bigger city, especially during somewhat windy days. Because most metro streets are set up in grids, forming constricted pathways between tall buildings which create higher air pressure, you get that extreme difference between air velocity on streets parallel to wind direction vs. thise perpendicular to it. Since the constricted flow further increases pressure, velocity, and also the directionality of the flow, it further lowers the pressure on the streets between the high pressure paths and make the difference even nore pronounced. The entrance to my workplace is on one of these lower pressure streets, and every time it gets windy, my ears pop and ache when I leave tbe building.
