When you let off the clutch in a manual- you can feel your car slow down. It’s called engine braking! It gives you more control over your car, but how does it work? Is it friction? And how is that different from the loud rumple of a diesel Jake Brake? We get into the differences between the two, and let you know if engine braking is good or bad for your engine!
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.

I was taught in transmission school that automatics even older style ones also have kindof an engine/trans brake. If youre going downhill and your brakes fade you can slam the trans from OD or D into L2 or L1 and it will actually apply extra bands and clutch packs and the engine will rev up to a certain rpm. But will not go further because the throttle is closed. Thats when the torque converter will compensate and slow the vehicle. The atf is cooled right after it leaves the converter to the trans cooler. You will not damage it. Ive tried that even on the poor 700r4 gm. It grabs the rear end and you slow down quick. So many people have died losing brakes going down a mountain and not knowing this engineered function of an automatic
This is what the Chevy Volt does to recharge the battery. It's a technique by hybrid drivers to shift into Low to recharge the battery and slow the engine, very similar to engine braking in a manual
Thanks. I was wondering why I would use engine braking on my little Toyota Yaris.
@@simon-the-bar5657I use that when I'm speeding and see a cop ahead to slow down quicker without applying the brake
I’m a truck driver and I love the new trucks jake brake, not the aerodynamic look, but the muffler is under the trucks so you can use your jake anywhere even where there are no engine brake signs because they don’t pop like stacks do (the exhaust pipes that go up and stick out over the truck) also the jake really has saved countless lives when it comes to steep mountains like West Virginia and PA
Ok who did the animations? The exhaust valve going up 😂👌
As is the intake valve. Whoever did it doesn't understand engines.
@@MyChevySonic lol did not even notice that the intake did the same thing... But yeah probably should do some more reserch and checking before hand, i mean explaining hos stuff works and showing it wrong :')
@@MyChevySonic Can you refer to an engine that pulls the valves up to open? That doesn't seem logical.
Or the diesel with a throttle body....
@@crazyeyez1502 Another commentor pointed out modern diesel trucks sometimes do have a "throttle body" type device that creates more vacuum at specific loads for better emissions. Doesn't act as a throttle body more like an air brake. This one could slide but the valves... oh lord.

These were the best.
How to slow down without hitting the brakes:
Step 1: let off the gas.
Diesel*
Won't work if you're going downhill
@@damirock98 low gears and it will.
PlannedMayhem not really. It will a little bit but diesels don’t have throttles so it’s going to suck air into the cylinders easy as could be
@@eman7579
That kind of braking is actually pretty hard on an automatic transmission because low rpms don't generate enough pressure to fully apply the clutches, meaning you'll have some engagement but still run the risk of slipping your clutches. Especially since the ones used for 1st gear are generally pretty small.
I never seen an engine valve open in this way 🤣🤣🤣🤣
i wish the diagrams were more accurate. for example the valves are opening the wrong way and even though it was stated that diesel engines dont have throttle bodies there was a throttle body on the diesel engine diagram. i hope no one gets confused by that kinda stuff
not to mention the addition of a spark plug in a diesel engine ( 8:00)
Same here the rpm gauge stayed the same as the speedo dropped arrrggg. Would have been nice to mention the torque converter separating the engine and trans hence why autos hardly engine brake.
@@radualexandru6120 That's not a big deal, because there you have fuel injection. Looks quite the same ;-)
@@radualexandru6120 no they say ignited by the heat, not by spark plug
Radu Alexandru , that’s not a spark plug, it just an explanation produced by heat as it gets compressed
I love watching videos on things I already know about. I get more than just book knowledge about it and I get to hear different explanations of the same thing. It increases my knowledge a bit more every time. This video is well made and I'm glad it was recommended to me.

A colab between science garage and engendering explained is needed now!!!
Engineering Explained?
@@brokkrep No, engendering explained!

I think we all need this engendering explained
Ah yes, the politically correct series
I have drove a truck for 8 years. Started watching your vids to learn about racing because i think that may be my next step. Cool that you covered this as well 😁
Small correction, in gasoline engine the fuel will be completely cut off if you are above certain RPM (like 1500), so no “idling fuel air mixture happens, just air. Also, instead of the power stroke you just compress air which will not cause the power stroke, which also helps the braking. So, vacuum and pressure slows it down, not just vacuum.
Actually no, the energy used compressing the air is spend on the downstroke. Only vacuum is slowing.
I`m sorry to be one of those ``ehm actually`` people, but as someone who studies mechanics here in europe, and who drives a (european) turbo diesel manual every day, i will say this much: engine braking DOES very much occur in diesel engines, just maybe not in the same way as in gasoline engines (and said engine braking is VARY noticable in both my car and in the vw transporter vans we have at work, especially in 1st and 2nd gear), and the phenomena that occurs in diesel engines may be known by a different name on your side of the ocean. In diesel engines, the car will slow down when you let off the gas because of the high compression. Basicly the cylinder will fill up with air and the piston will compress said air (high compresstion btw), but, because you dont want to accelerate, little to no diesel will be injected, and with no bang to push down the piston, aside from the compressed air, energy will be lost, rather than produced, and the car will slow down. A turbo helps in this sence because the residual boost will give the piston more air to compress without combustion, and, once boost is lost, there will also be a vacuum which will likely have a similar effect to what a petrol does. Also, from my experience with a 1.5l turbodiesel vs a 2.2l petrol, my diesel slows down my car more violantly than the 2.2l sedan my dad owned until recently. Also, the reason trucks use jake brakes or exaust brakes isn`t so much that the engine isn`t able to slow down the truck at all, but rather that the weight and inertia of the vehicle are to much for compression losses alone to slow it down significantly, and aditional restrictions need to be added to the exaust to further slow down the crankshaft. Again, sorry for being ``that guy`` but (as you could probably tell from my wordy comment) i didn`t agree with alot of what was said in the video, and wanted to share my viewpoint on the situation, since I felt you werent being truly fair to diesel engines in general. Keep up the good work though.
You've answered the big question I was left with from this vid, thanks.
I also saw some diesels haveing throttles in the exhaust creating loads of backpreassure and thus slowing it down. of course if used to excessively this can destroy the engine very quickly.
Ok so the subject has been bothering me since i watched the video and wrote my first comment, and after reading the wiki page and a couple of forum posts about engine breaking i came to the following conclusion: diesel compression losses alone seem to not cause as much engine breaking as i had originally thought but while it is true that the compressed air will spring back, some of the energy WILL be lost in the form of heat to the water jackets and such, and if the engine is turbocharged, the turbo will also cause back preassure, making the pistons work harder to get the gases out, which means more breaking, not to mention (as i had originaly stated) an idle turbo will likely cause a slight vacuum on the intake manifold, and you know what that will do if you watched the video. Couple that with the different gearing (which plays a huge role on how the negative torque generated by the engine afects the vehicle) and you have a turbo diesel which, depending on who you ask, will engine break as well as a petrol.
Jakob kerber. Yeah it`s a commonly used system here for heavy trucks, instead of traditional jake breaks, but i doubt its a widespread system on passenger cars. What i do know is that some manufacturers do use something resembling throttle plates, although if is, as far as i understand, used primarily in conjunction with the egr for emissions purposes, but i doubt manufacturers would add a throttle plate and not use it to aid in engine braking. At any rate, even if diesels dont provide much braking on their own, the turbo adds more than enough restrictions to male up for it.
Thank you I was about to ask why my 1.9tdi vw's engine brakes the car more than similar petrol engines I tried lol
"that's a lot of Faygo"
Michigan showing our reach
This is so sad that Science garage is gone this was my favourite show... now I'm stuck watching reruns to get by in life.
I’ve always used engine braking with my S4 and Stinger, and the later is even smoother because of the 8 speeds. Very often I slow down to the speed I want without even using my brake pedal. Nothing crazy, i.e. when getting out of the highway. Gives those brake pads more life!
Brake pads are cheap. Engine/transmission parts are not.
@@bigqwertycat So, you didn't watch the video, I guess...
Can we get some more videos on semis. Like DEF systems, air brakes, and axle weighs
Def "cleans" our exhaust, airbrakes rely on Chambers and axle weights for being legal is 12000 on the steers, 34k lbs on the drive tires and 34k lbs trailer tandems.
Both of these guys are wrong, DEF is made of synthetic urea, ammonia, and water that is sprayed via doser valve after the DPF(diesel particulate filter)into the SCR( Selective catalytic reduction) in order to bring down N0x levels for legal standards. They're extremely problematic since the beginning of their use. air brakes are for the most part are simple it's just a lot of valves that go into it, you're better off looking up some bendix or wabco air brake videos or doing some reading on how they work because theres too much detail to explain properly
DEF system cleans our pockets too
Karan Gill you got that right
Plus when burning off it consumes way more fuel than when it’s not burning off.
Thanks for this video! I have always wanted to know about this!
I love this. I've learned so much from your channel. Two years ago I was mechanicaly illiterate. Now I work on my own car and even shade tree for friends on simple things. Thank you TH-cam University. And thank you donut team.
Absolutely great show. I wish you'ed been around when I was a kid with ZERO access to any info like this. Thanks dudes!
Modern diesels DO have throttle bodies, but they are primarily for emissions/ EGR functions. They still don't control throttle. The ECU by means of electrical motor or solenoid controlled vacuum line can control the actuation of the butterfly valve in the throttle body to restrict the amount of fresh air (from turbo charger) into the intake manifold under low engine load situations. This helps create a pressure differential and thus helps the EGR system to feed more exhaust into the intake manifold.
Learn something new every day, interesting. Almost as functioning as a vacuum increasing butterfly, This plus variable geometry turbochargers is changing the game for all engines.
Which in reality the EGR still doesn't work properly. Like in my Freightliner. It has to have the carbon pushed out of the holes every 9-12 months. And let's not get started on the DEF system that drops my trucks mpg from 6.5 to 5.5 as soon as the temperature drops below 35f.
@@karlporath8904 the DEF shouldn't have an effect on fuel economy since it is all taking place downstream in the exhaust. Probably just seeing the effects of an engine running cooler than it's used to
Now explain modern "exaust brakes" in small diesel engines
Butterfly valve on the hot side of the turbo. Closes to create preassure in the engine. Kinda like the opposite of a throttle on a gas engine.
Think of a throttle body but in your exhaust. Boom. Exhaust brake.
In applications where the engine has a VGT or variable geometry turbo the exhaust braking is controlled by the internal vanes of the turbo. Basically it closes the vanes as much as it can cause a large increase in drive pressure or back pressure in the exhaust manifold aiding in engine braking
Was wondering the same, my diesel car slows down a lot more then any gas car i ever drove, when i release the gas
Not just in small engines, actually here in Europe at least, the type of Jake brake he explains is less and less used, modern truck (what you call "rigs" in the USA) all use exhaust brakes witch go by many names like "retarder" or "mountain break". They are more efficient at breaking, therefore more safe
ive been watching videos in this channel since 2018, i was grade 8 student, and now im grade 12 graduating student, this gives me inspiration to pursue my course in college, im taking automotive servicing course, i wish you make more of this videos i will rewatch this videos as my reviewer....i learned a lot from this youtube channel, i love you science garage, i love you donut media

Bart you will be missed, so does science garage :’)
What happened to Bart and is he the one speaking in the vid
@@timeless_2022 he left and joined Motor Trend
A jake brake takes away the power stroke from the diesel engine which is a Compression Ignition type. The ignition or explosion otherwise suppose to happen is not happening because it does not meet the compression required for it to occur. Thus, there is no power coming from the engine even while the pistons are moving due to the kinetic energy of the truck. The pistons become passive and become a load with the whole engine as the tires on the road transmit the rotational force back to it with all the linkages. The popping sound is the external noise generated instead of the internal powerstroke. Thanks for your post. It is very informative and I enjoyed it a lot! Cheers!

Thank you for the video. I have studied this yet people still tell me a gasoline engine slows down from compression! I hope theyll be listening to you guys at least!
73000 lbs? Here in Michigan it's legal up to 164000 lbs. Also, some modern diesels actually do have throttles, but I'm pretty sure that's more to do with emissions (especially EGR) than anything.
Also, automatics can engine brake Judy as well as a manual, they just need to have a lock-up torque converter
Take a look at the highway trucks most of them will have a GVW on the side, so don't and I don't know why. Most of them you will see will be rated to 80,000. But because of having to spread the load out to keep axle weight low, 20,000 per single axle max here in Idaho, most are rarely to max. More than 80,000 and you are starting to get in to tanker/construction, doubles/triples, or the awe inspiring heavy haul.
You can feel it in automatic cars that have a manual setting or paddle shifted. My car is automatic but I use the button shift sometimes especially if it is snowing out so I can control what gear the car is in better and to use engine braking so I can slow down without hitting the brakes and maybe losing control.
Same. My car has a dual clutch transmission, and it helps slow down ther car very well. Heck, sometimes I don't even have to use the brakes. The transmission slows me down enough.
What an excellent explanation! I never understood why semi trucks made that obnoxious noise to slow down, while my manual car or bike was nice and quiet. Now I do!
Very good explanation of the jake brake! Thanks!
Simple depending on how strong your Jake's pull back,weight and gradient of the hill and select the proper gear say 15% grade on my truck at 50T or 110k lbs I'd sit in 8th with Jake's on stage 3. Should hold at 1900rpm

When the the gear is engaged, and you let off the accelerator from cruising speed, both rpm and speed will drop at same rate.
There is no way in manual you can maintain the rpm while the speed is dropping without disengaging the gear. Only CVT can do that thing.
true
What Bart said is true - at the time of letting off the gas the revs won't drop compared to an auto, where the revs immediately drop if the torque converter isn't locked.
But, the animator didn't understand the intent behind the words and animated the wrong thing, making you misinterpret what Bart said.
@@williamcampbell9859 they oversimplified/exaggerated it a bit.
Great explanation. What a clever design
Very well explained, Thank you very much.
We diesel drivers can engine break without our Jake's, however it is less effective than a gas engine. During winter months when roads are slick we often avoid using our Jake's as they have a tendency to slide out our drives causing a jack knife. I like your analogy on the mechanics of the Jake break.
Yep cause jakes obly provide resistance to power axles

Great explanation brother!!
Trucker here. The reason that brakes can fail on trucks is because most of the trucks on the road in North America are drum brakes. As you apply the brakes the drum expands, and if you heat it up enough the drum will expand beyond the the stroke of the brake shoes and you literally have no brakes. The other failure that can happen is that if you apply constant, hard pressure to the brakes, you can heat them up so quickly that the components inside the brake drum and the wheel hub will catch on fire. Thankfully disk brakes are becoming more popular on class 8 trucks. Disk brakes can't get heat failure because the more the disk heats up the better they work. Of course you can still warp them or set them on fire, but with the better cooling its harder to do. Also runaway lanes work, but they're there to keep other drivers safe, not truckers. If you drive a truck up a runaway lane theres a very, very good chance you'll jackknife or flip.
As a European trucker I can't understand why you guys still run drum brakes. Here in Europe disc brakes is the standard for 20 years now ..

So basically its creating a vacuum that adds friction to the system thus slowing it down? Man what a time we live in, I literally heard the term "jake brake" 30 seconds ago and within 15 seconds I found an explanation on what it is! What a time to be alive, everything every little bit of info in the world is within arms reach.
i am glad to see you have slowed down a bit and quit screaming all over the place. because of that, i subbed today.

That's why I love my 2015 Subaru Outback.
The CVT uses virtual gears, so...
When I want to slow down, I use the flappy paddles, and down shift to the lower ratios.
I have a little over 60k miles on it, and the brakes look almost brand new...
