To those that may be wondering Jake brakes are very different from this. They do block off exhaust, but not from the pipe. They have a camshaft that switches profiles to close all valves and wait for the piston to reach TDC and then release suddenly that is the pop you hear a.k.a. the signature Jake brake sound
In fairness its half a Jake brake :P The engine still has to compress and exhaust gas, but the timing will be all wrong to extract the most heat from the gas like a J-brake does
This is called an exhaust brake. It's much more common in europe compared to jake brakes. Our trucks don't really have jake brakes. Over here in europe, not sure about other places, there is also a regulation that it automatically needs to open before the car stalls. Some of them also only close on one of the strokes in order to decrease noise.
yeah, never hear about jake brakes until now.. all trucks in Europe have exhaust brake (valve) or electric retarder (48-60V) installed on driveshaft. We also don't have "slow down" ramps for trucks in mountain passes like they do in NA. Also brakes on trucks are quite effective, most trucks brake better than any car would (tho depends on cargo weight)
@@robotcantina8957 Garage 54 crossover episode? Could be interesting trying to get your hands on a Lada in the US and throwing a few experiments of your own at it!
It's helpful when towing heavy loads down mountains. I've never seen it on a gas engine, but some diesels have an exhaust brake option that is literally a butterfly valve near the exhaust manifold. It's certainly overkill for a passenger vehicle though.
semi trucks have a similar but realty different system called a Jake brake where the brake effect is created in the engine cylinders. smaller Asian diesel trucks have the butterfly valve in the exhaust.
I was very surprised when I was a rookie truck driver to find the tractors wheels lock up while driving without a trailer in the snow using the engine brake. Those big rig dynamic engine brakes are amazing.
Cummins has an exhaust brake of sorts on the 6.7 Inline 6 that are used in Ram pickup trucks. Basically the Variable Geometry Turbo is utilized to act like a valve and restrict the exhaust.... They work extremely well.
VGT is the best because it changes the A/R ratio of exhaust housing. So you get engine braking and the bonus is you get full boost at the same time. Also a small Jake brake like effect.
Yeah, that's why most higher performance bikes have slip clutches in them. They rev up to 15k rpm with compression ratios somewhere in the ballpark of 12:1 and 14:1. So of course the bikes would need a slip clutch with that much air moving through a tiny engine.
could you show us how to make a Jake Brake? Truckers in the united states use this supposedly to save brakes, but in reality it makes these trucks sound soo cool that they make it illegal in some areas. It plays the most beautiful song on a long down hill.
its because of the noise that most places use exhaust brakes instead of Jake Brakes. Jake Brakes essentially vent the compression from the engine, from what ive read. we havent, to my knowledge, ever used Jake Brakes in Europe, only Exhaust brakes like this.
Jake brakes open the exhaust valve at the top of the compression stroke and let the compressed air out in a sudden noisy burst for each cylinder in turn. Hence the cool sound. The energy that is used in compressing the air is lost instead of being recouped on the following downstroke and so the engine acts as a braking load.
They do save brakes. Mostly used for hilly mountainous areas. When used with an exhaust brake they are incredibly effective and will basically double the braking power of the engine brake. There are two different kinds of jake brakes though. One is loud and the other is called a weeper which is a lot quieter. But with a weeper you miss out on the song the engine plays
Gotta love riding a motorbike through mountain roads, you get a lot more of the air and smell than in a car and all you get is the unbearable smell of fading brakes from all the incompetent drivers coasting down the hill riding the brakes. I'll never forget when I got my licence and the first time driving down a steep hill I automatically dropped it a few gears to the surprise of my dad who was teaching me and hadn't said to do it. Was very confused like "uh yeah isn't this a common sense thing", well young me I can safely say that common sense isn't all that common.
That might be effective in a 4X4. I used lower gears to crawl down hills and it worked great. Engine braking might make things go slower without wiping out your brakes.
I have a newer diesel pick up. It has a variable geometry turbo. When I let off the gas pedal the veining in the turbo blocks the exhaust gasses and gives you tremendous braking
In gasoline cars, engine braking isn't caused by compression, but rather it's due to vacuum in the intake manifold (throttle body is closed while pistons and valve movements keep trying to suck air). Effect by compression is negligible because once piston reaches TDC, the compressed air will work pushing down the piston - effectively equal work put into compressing air and air pushing back after TDC (if we negate the effects of friction). Semi trucks with jake brake on the other hand, will compress the air and valve will open to let the compressed air out (thus creating the notable engine brake sounds).
The compressing of the gas causes it to heat up, and that heat goes into coolant. Total vacuum = total compression if no fuel, so it can't be vacuum but not compression lol.
@@cannaroe1213 Well, I have never mentioned anything about fuel and combustion in general. The vacuum is in the intake manifold due to throttle body being closed and engine being a basic air compressor powered by kinetic energy (movement of a car).
For maximum efficient engine braking, also known as Jake brake or Jacobs brake, you need to keep the engine in a high rpm range, on diesel tractors/semis the recommended rpm range is between 1800 - 2100 rpm.
It's called a Jake Brake, and it actually releases the pressure in a way. if you want to know more google it . they can explain it much better than i can.
I suggest connecting a switch to that emergency brake lever to kill the engine, open the throttle to let more air in to boost compression and have it in 2nd or 1st gear.
By the way, a retarder is a bunch of friction discs or in some cases, a thing that uses magnetic force to slow down heavy vehicles such as trucks as to not overheat the main brakes
You guys always make great content. Some of it may be goofy and over the top but interesting. I’m still waiting on the garage to happen across a new breakthrough.
My 1,9 liter Ascona B 1976 model had so much compression that you could do hand break turns in winter by just go down a gear or two and dump the clutch ;)
engine retarders or engine brakes are also called Jake-brakes and have been used in diesel semis forever. Having been a trucker, I can tell you that they do their job when at proper speed, rpm, gear, and incline or distance needed... but always have that clutch and brake at the ready near the end !!!
Modern vehicles have this thing already where you can set the level of engine brake which is done with the help of a valve installed in the exhaust pipes.
OK, now in the name of *practical* science... you should do this to a big rig and drill the butterfly valve so that while fully shut the engine just barely idles
The problem with a gasoline engine is that the intake is restricted when your foot is off the accelerator. This exhaust brake would be much more effective, if there was a valve underneath the carburetor that would allow full airflow into the intake manifold. This type of retarder would be MUCH more effective on a diesel, because of the open air intake, allowing air to be pumped into the exhaust with no accelerator pedal. With a gas engine, you need a valve, to open the intake to air, without drawing fuel through the carburetor. As a simple test, try putting it back into 3rd gear, turn off the ignition, and floor the accelerator pedal. That way, the engine would act more like a diesel.
If you incorporate, engine braking and compress the air in an air tank, regenerative braking and charge a battery, aerodynamic braking which could also charge the battery (not by much) with a mass engagement on the fly wheel i.e. material that was not spinning but you'd need to get spinning through engagement...you'd be able to use the electric motor on take off and the compressed air you stored in an air tank which you can reuse through an injector in the intake to increase compression plus the spinning mass would provide great initial torque to toss the car...I wonder how fast you could actually stop without normal brakes at all plus how well could you take off I'm sure there's added weight but would still be a cool invention to say it's been done.
👋😂👍I love how he recommends this to anyone doing it to their own car’s! I call that a successful test!👌😂👍

Video idea: compress air with engine during engine break, and use the compressed air when accelerating = you save the internal combustion engine by increasing efficiency :)
You need a pressure relief valve on the exhaust in front of the butterfly valve to 'waste' the compressed exhaust gasses. Experiment with blow off pressure. Works kind of like the intake pressure dump valves on turbo systems that prevent turbo stall by keeping airflow through the intake.
This is commonly used on large diesel trucks for increasing the engine brake effect. This makes it possible to drive long stretches downhill without having to rely on the main brakes and risk brake fatigue.
@@farmdve No it doesn't. Engine braking is something only used to spare the brakes. Well in a modern car engine braking means the fuel injection will be cut when you're engine braking, so I guess that would save a few drops of fuel compared to the engine idling while you slowed down using the brakes instead. But for all relevant purposes the answer is still no. Neither engine braking nor a exhaust brake to improve the engine braking in any way improves your fuel economy.

I'd like to see a compression tester on one of the cylinders while under exhaust braking to see how high the compression goes.
if it goes higher than what the exhaust valve springs can hold back then the pistons will smack the exhaust valve before the pressure will ever get over the compression stroke pressure
Assuming it's an interference engine of course.
It will be the same.
You didn't change the compression ratio All you are doing is restricting the engine from breathing. It's essentially the exact opposite of making a performance engine as you are choking the engine so bad it can't easily turn.
