Four strokes are all you need

First thing I thought - I totally wanna lobe that cam. It’s gonna “pop” when the intake opens. Love the animation and rendering though.

That's how four-stroke engine go.

That makes the analogy even more interesting. And makes my description of Homelander and his motives inaccurate. Thanks for the correction.

Glad you enjoyed. It's one of my favorites.

YES! I’ve said it before on Reddit too, sleep paralysis is also the explanation for alien abduction stories. I have had sleep paralysis myself, and it’s exactly like people describe alien abductions. I know I used aliens coming to earth as an example of something more likely to happen than ghosts, but its second to ghosts lol, I love the idea of aliens, but it’s never really aliens.

The ole 1-2-3 firing order. I'm more fond of the 2-3-1 myself.

Introduced today the combustion engine would never make it, advanced yet so primitive

Thank you, I think this is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen in my whole life. I LOVE those gifs and the explanations are fantastic.

I'm aware that there's going to be some variability, it just seemed to me that closing 90° before TDC was a little extreme, especially considering in most cases the exhaust valve closes a little after TDC

Suck, squeeze, bang, blow.

Repeat

That's awesome!

often valves close or open early to take advantage of acoustics (shock waves) to ram air into the cylinder or throw it out. So timing is very nuanced and can be adjusted drastically from engine to engine. In general the exhaust valve isn’t going to match the stroke, it might be early or late, extended or short due to design.

This is definitely inaccurate with the fuel injection and exhaust.

Where the fuck did you pull I “clearly don’t believe in therapy” out of? I have a therapist myself you fucking idiot

Definitely not wrong. It's like it's missing a beat in a dance.

Straight to jail

>I think it's just you but don't quote me on that

Ok.

Now that I look again you're right they are only open for roughly half the exhaust stroke. Good eye

It's bugging me, too.

Shouldn't it be open til the piston reaches TDC? If so that means with those cams it should open later in the exhaust stroke. It seems like they start opening just before the piston reaches BDC, and close half way up the exhaust stroke.
