how an engine works

I know most of you know how an engine works. At least, you understand the basics of it. We’re dealing with a four-stroke system predicated on consistent intake, compression, combustion, and exhaust. If you want to dive a bit more deeply into how this all works, there’s a great video I found that does just that. And it shows you what’s going on, instead of just telling you.

This is the work of the channel Animagraffs. I came across it when I found this great video explaining how a P-51 Mustang works,:

If you have anyone asking you how an engine works, send them the video at the top of the post. And if you need a refresher, sit down and hit play.
