I'm getting some old dos Ultima vibes here.

This is moreso "what an engine looks like while running" than what actually makes the engine work. The thermodynamic cycles are how engines generate mechanical force from the thermal energy released in the combustion of gasoline molecules.

It also looks like the middle gear is going the opposite direction of the arrow and handle.

It is just a diagram after all, not a precision-built machine, so I don’t think we can expect much in terms of ultra-realism. There are other things wrong with it, too, like no valve overlap, and the firing order has a noticeable lag between cylinders 1 and 3, makes for a very unbalanced engine.

Doesn’t look wrong to me. Red exhaust valve opens as the piston rises and blue opens when the piston drops on each of the cylinders. I will say though, that this does look like an awfully unbalanced engine between cylinders 1 and 3 having so much time between the firing orders, as oppose to 1 to 2 or 2 to 3.

Sort of. What this doesn't show is the synchronized explosions that force those pistons down. That little flash of light is the spark that ignites the gasses (air and gasoline, in many cases). The explosion is contained in the cylinder and pushes the piston and the arm down rotating the cam shaft.

How do the spinning cams opening the valves not wear out/get smaller from hitting the valves several thousand times a minute?

Bringing up variability, there is VVT (variable valve timing) which takes advantage of this in real time to use different valve timings at different RPM's to provide more efficiency or power.

>Blue valve opens, gas gets injected, piston is pushed back up, gas compresses, spark, boom
"Gas" is not injected. Air is sucked in because the piston moves down. Fuel could be injected either directly or just before the blue valve.

Doesn't look confusing at all. There's just no explanation attached so that might make it confusing

All the timing is wrong. But it gives the general idea I guess

How a 4 stroke* engine works. Your weedwacker does not work like this.

It is very wrong. It looks like they are sucking in the exhaust instead of pushing it out.

You’re right, I slowed it down. Exhaust is opening at BDC, usually it’s cycle is 100-5 degrees BTDC.

At some point in the future, intimate knowledge about how these engines work will become as scarce as the knowledge of old programming languages like FORTRAN and COBOL.

The cam is not timed at all, this engine if it started would rumble an pop all over the place.
