      The slow motion of the single port injector reminds me of fire breathers. They're doing the same basic thing, spraying the fuel until it atomizes enough to get to the right fuel/air mixture and ignites.

      I just want to say thank you, Destin, and everyone who supports this channel financially. I don't have the extra money to help out, but the attention to extraneous detail is very much appreciated in a world that seems increasingly like everything is turning to easily digestible, CliffsNotes-style explanations. From the topics themselves, to Destin going to farms and such and getting his hands dirty to give us simulated hands-on experience, to the videos of the complexities of the space flight equipment that I'll never use, lol, this channel is a shining city upon a hill. Keep up the great work, and good luck!

    Hey Destin, my family had a small business dealing with Cetane testing, so we spent a LOT of time working with various fuel injectors. We even produced some high speed footage of auto-ignition in a combustion chamber by using a quartz window back in the early 00's. High speed cameras have come a long way since then. I think the cameras we were using were something like 180px horizontal resolution, haha. It's super cool to see the flame propagation through air with such detail! Very cool to see this being covered!

      Gasoline is INCREDIBLY volatile. It'd start to evaporate on the way down and the fumes would easily catch on fire. The liquid isn't ever what ignites. It's the vapor coming off of it.
      It's why you never use gasoline as a fire starter. If you wait more than a couple minutes, you have a massive cloud of gasoline vapor that's literally ready to explode once lit.

    • @ivanbarreras9445
      @ivanbarreras9445 ปีที่แล้ว

      @Hero to his point. I guess laminar flow would best increase the chances of minimal gas build up given minimal surface area. So it would light. But I guess it would be the hardest to light of the flow patterns. Maybe. I've never done the test, just guessing

    • @Heroo01
      @Heroo01 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      @@ivanbarreras9445 It'd still be flowing past a lot of unsaturated air so the gas would naturally kind of want to fill it. The BEST case open air scenario is a deep container with no air flow over it. Gas vapor is heavier than air so it'll mostly sink and should somewhat stay contained without airflow disturbing it and allowing more to evaporate. Still, gasoline is probably the most volatile liquid I know of other than maybe alcohol. Any gasoline left in open air isn't gonna be great news.
      But yes, the smaller the surface area, the slower it'll evaporate. So laminar would definitely be best

    • @moos5221
      @moos5221 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      gasoline liquid never burns, it's always just the vapors that burn. so in a laminar flow condition it would still just engulf the liquid with flame and would likely disturb the flow at some point. would be interesting to see though.

    Don't forget that, in your experiments, you had air at a pressure of 1 bar.
    Inside a cylinder you have a higher air pressure, resulting in more air within a smaller volume. This is why your flames only started further away from the nozzle instead of right in front of it, like they would inside a motor.

      Aircraft have been fuel injected for well over a century now, long before it became common in automotive use, and it's kind of rare to find carbureted GA aircraft with more than 180HP. EFI and FADEC is probably what you're thinking of.

    If you haven’t learned it yourself already, the injector names your looking for are pintle type which is the style with 4+ holes pointing perpendicular to the nozzle, this type is used in direct injected diesels. The other style is hole type with just single hole pointing straight out, this style is used in semi direct injected diesels.

    I truly can't thank you enough for these videos. Your video on carburetors is probably my single favorite video on the internet! I've been interested in small engines since I was a kid and when I was about 10 my dad bent a crankshaft on a lawnmower engine. He knew it was ruined, so he gave it to me and I spent a summer "dissecting" it and learning as much as I could. I figured a lot out on my own, and became the neighborhood small engine kid. The carburetor was always an issue for me because I couldn't understand how it worked. That video unlocked so much for me and helped me SOOOO much! I actually sent it to a buddy earlier this week because he was having problems getting his snowblower working!

    This was very interesting, and I'll be showing this to my wife as she wants to learn as much about engines as she can. She bought a 1967 Ford Country Sedan Wagon (not the Squire with the wood paneling), and we are having engine work done on it.
    The thing I was thinking about as Dean was spraying and lighting the fuel in his shop was that this all takes place inside the cylinders, as he showed in the books he found. So this pattern of fuel-air mixture will be more uniform and easier to light off with the spark, making it more efficient than it seemed in the video.
    The other thought I had when Dean was at the tractor parts factory was I hope this video going public doesn't trigger an OSHA audit, as it looks like some things need to be cleaned up there.
