I actually didn't know how a supercharger worked. Thanks for the video!
I learned more in this 7 min video than I did in a 2 and a half hour lecture. No bs, straight to the point.
Man, this video together with your car engine one and the transmission one are like the holy trinity of videos to get a solid visual understanding of how cars/engines work. Actually, as your library of videos is growing, it might be a good idea to create some playlists on your channel, grouping together videos about similar/related topics or categories of the video subject. For example, • a How Cars Work playlist for the holy trinity I mentioned above. • How Aircraft Work - Jet engine, P51, jet airliner, airliner cockpit. How Specialised Vehicles Work - F1, nascar, fire engine • Maybe a big one for all of your vehicle related videos? • Can probably group the solar & water treatment stuff together. • And maybe group the sewing machine, watch, & speaker videos. Anyway, you get the idea. Sorry for the super long comment. Incredible work as always Jake (and Wesley?), keep it up and thanks for the great content!
To make it clear for everyone, the super charger is the thing that goes SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII while the turbo goes SUUUUUUU STUUTUTUTU SUUUUUUU STUUUTUTU
I'm a mechanic who spent years working in a performance shop, and so I'm already quite familiar with how both of these systems work. But I clicked anyway because I enjoy observing your work. Animagraffs = the best visual education tool I've ever seen.
I was just learning about these things not too long ago and understood the concepts, but these visualisations really let things come together for me.
Pausing at about 3:41 and watching arrows explains a turbo in a such a simple way Thanks for the video!!!
There were not such videos around when I was a student of mechanical engineering. Great animation.
Another great video, thank you very much! 👌
I've known for a while how turbos work generally, but i had never had the chance of seeing a supercharger's internal mechanics this clearly. It's impressive how well the mechanics of both systems are explained through these graphics.
I actually already know how these things work, but I stay for the animation, it's simply too good
How on Earth can you produce so many amazing animations, along with the research and explanations for it all. Fantastic.
If I recall, WW2 aircraft radial engines had a super charger and turbo installed. This set up had an advantage for extra HP and speed when flying higher altitudes. Great video 👍
This is so well done that it temps me to install a turbo charger to my own engine
I am just started learning how a car work so I had no previous knowledge. This video explained it so well.
I know for a fact, James May will be impressed by your work and knowledge in automotive. Let along the beautifully design animation. Btw, imagine if you were a professor in some university, your class will always have students wanting to take your class ... repeatedly.
That was an incredibly well done and well made a video, to be honest I never really understood exactly how a supercharger worked. I don’t know that you could have made it any clearer, thank you for your work!
It's worth noting that designs that use both supercharger and turbocharger in the same engine exist, they are called twinchargers but they are rarely used because they are very complex.
My 2012 raptor has a 2.9L Whipple Twin screw supercharger on it. Thank you for helping me visualize what’s happening under the hood.
