Excelent explanation. If I could make a suggestion, is adding the other half of the story. WOW the Prop lever (which controls the pitch) ends up affecting the engine RPM. For fixed-pitch propeller the throttle lever alone affects the manifold pressure and also affects the RPM of the engine (power and speed), and both are easier to understand/connect. What could be added to this video is how with variable-pitch propeller alters this relationaship between power and engine speed to understand when do we need more throttle or more pitch. Thanks a lot!!!
Thank you, sir, for your explanation! I have the 10hrs required for commercial certificate; I did not really understand the idea behind manifold pressure until now. thanks for taking your time to explain it this well.
Jet guy (Airline) and getting back into recips,... You helped make this a great refresher and cleared some things up for me. Mike Busch says "Manifold Sucks"! It can be hard to grasp the concept, but you made it easy!!!
Excellent explanation! The diagram was great as well. I'm a low time pilot looking to earn my complex endorsement very soon and was having trouble understanding how this worked. For some reason, the way you described it, clicked in my head. Now make a video on how it correlates to the prop settings of a constant speed prop and how why it's not recommended to have higher manifold pressure than prop speed. Still need my brain to click on that.
Hi, this is because if you have a high manifold pressure but a very low prop speed, there is a lot of force being exerted on the spring which governs the pitch of the propeller, and it can break!
This was just beautiful.
your use of a pilot pen did not go unnoticed :)

Excellent! Subscribed!
Muito bom! Obrigado pela aula!

Great video and you just win a subscriber 👍
Finally. Explained in a way that I could understand it. Thanks Man!
PS
And yes. You had to draw me a picture.😊

Thank you for making this video, it was great!
Well explained! Good job
Thank you. That was very well explained. I have a theoretical question - how would the M.P gauge behave in a single cylinder engine?
Great video, thank you. Helped a lot
Thanks. Very Good explanation!!
Thank you! Great explanaation!
How can one increase pressure at altitude to produce more power? Turbo?
Great explanation..thank you.
Excellent explanation
Outstanding!
Appreciate it good work !!!
When does manifold pressure increase
thanks
Great stuff, subbed
Standard atmospheric pressure is 29.92 in of mercury, so is there a reason that you’re off by .01 in?
No reason. Just picked a number.
waht about mixtur?
