Internal Combustion Video.

Stolen from the UTMC website.
Hella good video of what is really happening in you engine 14,000 x 4 times a minute.

WOW! If you look careful you can even see the sparkplug firing. Talk about a high speed camera!:Flash:

So fuel/air on the right, exhaust out the left?

Thats cool.:thumbup:


Of course that is for a 2 valve per cylinder engine, most modern bikes/cars have 4 valves, how busy would that look.

Some Yamahas have 5 valves, yikes.

Yeah, but if it was a 4 valve head, where would the camera man stand?

Thanks, glad you beat me to it!

gotta bump this one.

Watch again, the exhaust valve opens and the burnt charge exits.

Elm is correct, they do skip the exhaust cycle. There's a gap in the video during this time. You can see the exhaust valve open while the piston appears to be at the bottom of it's cycle, but you never see the piston come up, pushing the exhaust gas out. Wonder why.

Also, going to the actual Google site of the video is slightly better video. Notice the valves actually rotate. I've heard some motors do this to maintain the valve seating surfaces. Cool!

now thats awesome!
