Pretty cool video from a fairly expensive camera:
See Through Engine - 4K Slow Motion Visible Combustion

Pretty bad ass. Using the different fuels and how they burned was cool. We all know how this stuff works but seeing it in action especially slowed down to this extent is a rare opportunity. Good thread!

That's slick
love it. pretty cool to see it in slow mo
The thing that interested me... and I'm sure you guys can help me with this... the piston seemed to cycle twice between firing.
So for every ignition there were two cycles.
I don't know if this is because it's a single-piston motor, but for say a v8 does the piston cycle twice between each firing or is it once?
I always assumed it was once.

That was pretty slick.
A two stroke fires everytime the piston comes up, or crankshaft rotates once. A four stroke, this and our car engines, fires every other time the piston comes up--or two rotations of the crank.
The 4 cycle engine has indeed 4 strokes. Intake, compression, combustion and exhaust.
One thing that might be confusing to some of you is the spark plug firing on every cycle. That's a waste spark ignition system and is often done for emissions control and simplicity sake.
Great info. I tried to explain 2 stroke vs 4 stroke to a guy one time and completely watched his whole life fall apart in front of my own eyes. Then I tried to explain the different types of rotary combustion engines and I think I just pissed him off.
very cool vid, even slowed down that far it still takes place pretty damned quick. I was wondering if the spark on every revolution was just for simplicity sake, didnt realize thats what waste spark was
ENGINES ARE SUPER COOL!
Thanks!
