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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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 !!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for demonstrating the workings of a carburator at such high risk to your life. It is well known that promaja (a local name for a draft going through the house) causes death, joint pain, neck cricks and the common cold.
Min 3:00 I had a big 🤦♂️-moment. 7 years of combined studies (automotive mechanic, mechanical engineering) and wouldn't have been able to conceptualize Atmospheric Pressure in simpler words than these. Keep it up, Mr. D4A.
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 😂.

I didn’t have a chance to watch this video yet, but wanted to say your full chat with Andre of High Performance Academy was excellent. Many of the viewers would probably enjoy if they weren’t already aware of it.

Fantastic video! I can confidently say that this is the most helpful and informative video about the principles of carburetors that I've ever seen! Excellent work! 👍
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
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.
I like to beleive this is how D4A argues with his wife. "You keep slamming the door stop" is answered by a 13min, detailed, researched, physics-based rebuttal on how she is wrong. Lololol 🤓🍻
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.
This channel is excellent- accessible and thoughtful explanations, using everyday life to aid understanding and diagrams that really help. Thank you for educating me.
Thank you so much for the excellent video, I knew the rough idea of it but this was such a good explanation and filled in many holes that I was unaware of. Really appreciate it, cheers!
WOW!!!! I’ve never thought about it but it works exactly as you explain it. Just genius!! Thanks for the video, you have a new subscriber from Argentina!!
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! 😂
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.
Ayayay.I appreciate your demonstration, but I must warn you about letting doors with glass inside them slam shut! Ive had my fair share of glass panes shattering from exactly this.
Maybe it is not vacuum, maybe its poltergeist🤣. Jokes aside, to be honest now i know thanks to you why there are holes in carburator thanks!!! Can you do some videos about lubricants or materials used in engine? Thanks!
I always "sort of" knew how a carb worked but don't work on them so never really looked into it. Good explanation though. Now I get it. Do automatic transmissions next because they still baffle me!
Thanks for explaining carburetor witchcraft. And all other concepts of engineering too. I just become curious about vr and bugattis w16 engines. And I don’t know any other person who can explain it better than you. Guys, let’s hit that like button if you want to know more about it too 👍
upd: just found a video about VR configuration. So basically main interest is W, which is Two VR’s combined into another V. Is it considered to be “iconic” or just an expensive toy for boys who like big numbers?
Hey bro, love your content, always makes me easier to understand every piece of information...🥰 I really request you to make a video on how to perfectly adjust air&fuel mixture in carburettor in bikes.. Thank you ❤
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.
When it's nice outside, I open and close windows and doors until I get some good air flow through the house. It helps with air conditioning power usage. 😅
Well, ofc your explanation of the principles of the carburetor is flawless as always. But I just don't see that the cause of the door initially starting to move is caused by the bernoulli's principle. I just see a typical check valve. In order to recreate a real carburetor I think you should open a door in that hallway and hang there a curtain. If that curtain is sucked in the hallway - thats the Venturi effect. In this case, I think, airflow just got trapped behind that door which pushed it in the stream.
You had JIS screws on the carburetor (JIS cross mark indent). New video tips: How to use PZ, PH and JIS bits. Many people uses wrong screwdriver on Japanese manufactured vehicles and destroys the screwhead.
Is there any way you would be able to pass along information about the Taurozzi Pendulum Engine ... Why we don't see it today, how much more efficient it truly is, little facts like that? 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.
Did you choose your apartament upon this room layout? :D I imagine such discussion with wife... "Honey, that other apartment was not flow-efficient..." 😂
SmarterEveryDay also has a video on carburetors. Made a transparent one which actually worked for a 2t lawnmower engine. But I remember thinking he forgot the needle valve. Didn't need it for that application aparently.
Such a great video! I have a question I was hoping you could help with: on many 2 stroke engines they have the capacity to be 'tuned' when working at different altitudes (air pressures). What does the tuning change within the carburettor? Does that make sense?

I have never seen/heard a clearer explanation of how a carburettor works than this. Thank you!
Such a complicated explanation for a simple answer: ghosts
Trying to hide the truth with science! I'm waiting for someone to comment how they can see strings pulling the door 😂

this is one of the best explainations of the venturi effect i have ever seen
Wow. Nice. Now every slam on my house's doors will be understood as combustion stroke! Got it. Love it.
