the way of engine and gearbox system work?
I will explain my friend how the car engine works and it moves the car.
So, could you please tell me the chronological order in a very simple way? From "turning the ignition on" to "exhausting the gas" can you please set the order in simple sentences? A technical video or such links are also highly welcome. Thanks in advance & cheers! |

Entire books are written about this so a forum is not the best starting point, perhaps if you had specific questions we could better help. Your best bet is to go to youtube and find some computer animated videos. If you really are interested go buy a 1/4 scale clear plastic model (1/4 Visible V-8 Engine by Revell-Monogram) for about 50 bucks. These scale models are usually older outdated engines but are a great foundation to learn from. Also assembling the parts yourself really helps you to understand everything. I assembled mine in a day. First things first, google the terms ''4 stroke engine''.
Basically air is sucked into the engine through the air box and air intake, it then mixes with fuel, this mixture is sucked into the combustion chamber where it then get compressed, then a spark ignites it, it explodes and expands. This expansion causes a complex mechanical movement of parts which ultimately turn the wheels. After the explosion there is left over gas which is basically unusable and it get forced out through the exhaust manifold and muffler. I would really check out a book or that scale model . FYI the scale models uses a hand crank to turn and you can see all the parts move. Its pretty good and only overlooks a few minor things, its about as good a starting point as you will find.

Too funny, I was just going to say that. It's a good site for the very basics in a reasonably illustrated format.
