My instructor did not explain this very well, or I missed it. So I'd like to thank you for supplementing what I'm learning in class. For whatever reason, I understood your explanation better.
Running vacuum in the crank seems both genius and obvious after you say it ... such that I wonder why cars wouldn't run at least in partial vacuum..? (LOVE your series. You explain things SUPERIOR ... BY FAR!!! To Engineering Explained ... I LOVE your style of teaching (and knew it as soon as you began speaking). YOU don't just say "what" something does, you say WHY it does it. It's both frustrating and confusing that other channels omit this principle. Imagine saying "some people ran the partial vacuum in the crank" without mentioning that it creates oscillating pressure spikes between them in the first place.
@@MechaniclifeJDM Very cool. :) In returning to look at this video, it pains me a little to see how few watch Kevin Cameron's series. I'm almost afraid to hate to ask why no more videos were made in the past 4 years. I googled Kevin Cameron but found no updates in the intervening period. Hope he's ok.
@@trumanhw Thanks. We all only get so many breaths brother, go enjoy a few today. Engines only get so many revolutions of that crank. Volvo D13’s actually count lifetime engine revolutions 😜
@@trumanhw The hippie chicks dig it until it screams past 6000rpm, I shift it at 8000 with the left front tire off the ground. They don't dig that very much. Most that I know are old chicks now. Mustang sounds better than NASCAR engines at 8000 and it pulls hard from 6 to 8000.

Love this guy. I'm so glad they have him on these videos; I READ his (great) stuff for many years.. this is better

BMW runs vacuum in the crankcase

These videos are incredibly cool. Love Kevin
Thanks for the instructional university class
Learned something new!
A windage tray in my Ford 289 freed up about another 1000 usable rpm.
Awesome. (and exactly what i asked before reading comments; _why don't cars do this?_ ) ... ps, cool name choice; I'm sure hippie chicks dig it. :)

This isn't on the Ask Kevin Cameron playlist :(
I thought windage was power lost due to oil wrapping around the crankshaft. I didn't realize that air was the most significant factor.
Nice.

Another reason Electrics are the future.
We know, we know man…
Elon Musk is awaiting his rectal sniffer, run along now…
Nope.
