Exactly, I was just thinking how this must have been a big problem back in the day but such a simple yet brilliant solution fixed it. Just shows how simple solutions are the best solutions.
i wasted one year of my life researching on how a turbocharger works but then here's this man explaining everything i needed to know in 3 minutes. thank you for such a simple yet instructive video
......The amount my teachers/books in school tried to make some and/or me to understand the workings of a machines is way beyond the minutes I read and/or listen than it does in this video. Thank you Thomas Schwenke, your explantion and videos do what other can't achieve.
Thanks for the video, Thomas! And everyone who dares to criticise him: record a video in which you explain something technological speaking a language that isn't your native one.
I love your videos. You are so kind to produce these and share them freely. If I may make one suggestion for improvement. A few words that you use are difficult to understand because of the way you pronounce them. For clarity I turned on the captions. Sadly, the captions must have been made by some automatic program because it too has had difficulty trying to understand and it has put the wrong words in. As an example; at 0:20 you say "the axle's gas produced by the engine" The captions read: "the axle gay ass . . . ." at 1:15 you say "boats airplanes and cars" and the captions read: "boots airplanes and cost" You will improve your videos greatly by taking the time to manually type in your captions to show the correct words. In this way, the occasional word that is misunderstood in the narration will be cleared up and the video will not be spoiled. (oops got cut off before I ended here) But like I said, Great video, great illustrations and generous soul for sharing your knowledge and time - thank you.
Thomas. Thank you so much for these informational videos. I love working with cars and engines and these videos have help me learn how different parts of an engine work and what they do. These videos have helped me so much and helped me persue my dream to go to school to work with auto mechanics. Just wanted to say thank you so much.
I think that the accent is good and Thomas speaks slowly so no need to stop the video at all...plus a little German inflection makes it more trustworthy ;) Great animations
Your videos are informative and to the point. The animations are very professional and works excellently as a visual aid. I've just finished watching the turbo explanation and am looking forward to watching the rest of your videos. Keep it up.
This video is very informative. CONSEQUENTLY, it has satisfied my desire to learn. MOREOVER, I feel more confident explaining it to my friends. FURTHERMORE, I wish to express my thank you.
Mr.Thomas,this video is the finest video which helps a starter or an illitetrate to understand the concept of turbocharger thoroughly,please extend your service similarly in all the aspects of mechanical n automobile engineering without taking in to consideration the negative comments.There can be no better video than this.....
Don't listen to the haters, I use english as a secondary language and I can understand what's being said in this video perfectly fine! Keep up the good work man :)
hey Thomas thanks, like many others have said, it only took you minutes to explain what most of enthusiast enjoy but don't understand. keep up with the good work!!
Fr. Most of them don't even speak more than one language. Here in america theres tons of people who only speak english but suck at it and have actual terrible accents. This guys accent is fine
They both do the same function, but a supercharger takes the power to rotate from a belt connecting it to the engine, while exhaust air rotates the turbocharger, hence, they supercharger is effective at all RPM while the turbo needs a bit high RPMs, consequently, turbo lag exists.
Tareq Arar so if you have both supercharger and turbocharger that means that you would have Boost at all time and even more at higher RPM? Hell why don't we get a V8 supercharged and turbocharged with nitrous! What the hell could possibly go wrong?!?!
"Consequently" ,when you say "consequently", it makes me think "SHUTUP BEEVIS" and then "consequently" puts me in a bad mood, "consequently" ruining my day. "Consequently", when my day is ruined, I "Consequently" put others in a bad mood also ("Consequently" making others mad at me). "Consequently" I think those people are just jealous, "Consequently" making me feel AWESOME ("Consequently")
I was thinking the same thing. I don't mind it, but when I hear "Consequently", I think of "as a consequence" , and someone's butt is gonna get beat lol
Nathan Gray Not quite... both mechanical superchargers and turbochargers (originally called turbosuperchargers) serve the same function: to increase the amount of air fed to the engine and thereby increase horsepower, but they go about it different ways. As explained in the video, a turbocharger uses the vehicle's exhaust gasses to spin the compressor turbine, while a supercharger's turbine is mechanically attached to the engine via a belt, chain or crank. Both have advantages and drawbacks. Turbochargers take time to spin up to operating speeds, creating the phenomenon of "turbo lag". While superchargers don't have this problem (their turbine speed is always directly proportional to engine RPM), but the additional energy needed to spin the compressor turbine creates a parasitic drag on the engine's horsepower output. Either method (any plenty of other things besides) can damage an engine if done improperly, but most engines can be turbocharged or supercharged for a moderate power increase without risk, and indeed, more manufacturers are turning to turbochargers as a cheap, efficient way of making power in small-displacement engines straight off the factory floor (see: Subaru, Ford Eco-Boost, etc.). Thanks to the small displacement of these new generation of turbochargers and efficient exhaust routing and engine mapping, modern turbos spool up to full speed very quickly and suffer very little lag. Thanks to the increased air in the engine producing a cleaner, more complete burn of the fuel, turbochargers are also being used by manufacturers to lower emissions and improve fuel efficiency in order to meet increasingly-strict mandates on both fronts. Why would you want a turbocharger? Well, aside from more power to go faster, forced induction can also be used to compensate for the power deficit at high altitude. Obviously this is a very common application in radial- or inline-engine aircraft, but it's equally applicable for people who live up in the mountains. Your naturally aspirated engine might make its listed 200 horsepower on the California coast... but in Denver it's probably only making about 170.
Could a turbocharger get better Gas Mileage if you baby it? Or no? If you can't make up your mind get a twin charger 😈 but you would have to get racing fuel😔
A very nice video indeed but one small point. The wastegate does not open because the engine is producing too much exhaust gas. It opens because the inlet boost pressure is too high. The wastegate itself is opened by a wastegate actuator that is connected by a pipe to the inlet manifold. When boost pressure is too high the pressure opens the wastegate to allow some of the exhaust gas to bypass the turbine. This causes the turbine and compressor to turn more slowly so the inlet boost pressure is reduced. When the inlet boost pressure drops, the wastegate actuator allows the wastegate to close again and the turbine then speeds up again.
If you combined every accent on earth, you’d have this man’s accent.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yes, while I admire his effort to give us a decent video, I was not particularly impressed with his affectatious accent..
This is literally the funniest fucking comment I have ever seen 😭😭😭
Haha a-ngine, cause instead of cars haha
Whahahahahahahaha
The people who invent this kind of stuff have amazing minds.
Took 3 mins and understanded a lot in car community
Thats true
Exactly, I was just thinking how this must have been a big problem back in the day but such a simple yet brilliant solution fixed it. Just shows how simple solutions are the best solutions.
We all have amazing minds, we don't feed our minds with stillness
And azing accents
I love learning about how the Axygen moves inside the Angine.
😂😂😂
What about the axehose gas?
@@TrueBlueSG no
@@TrueBlueSG stop
The axehose gas, anters the angine
I have finished watching this video and, consequently, I know more about turbochargers.
Great to hear that :)
im fucking dead LOL
Patrick Harper you make a very nice video bravo
Best comment ever
Hehe
I am now a turbo expert! Thanks.
I can now impress my girlfriend with my knowledge of turbos and hopefully get myself a gobble....
Same here
+Sadik Meah are u trying to use same principle in your gf ?? :-) ;-)
Maven Sony
Actually no because she likes me to do it slowly. It's more the opposite. I have to use a speed restrictor
Sadik Meah 98% of girls give 0 shits about cars because they realize guys use them of to get in their pants
Roddy Dykes
Oh times are changing my freind! Girls are more into cars than you think. They treat it like a sex toy.
this was extremely informative
Your profile pic is also extremely informative
You should do one on super chargers. Your animation are great btw!
Visual explanations help understanding everything.
zzzhuh Hi, thank you. An animation about superchargers will be coming soon!
Thomas Schwenke Will it mention the different types of supercharger??
Yes, it will now :)
Ahh, thanks! I know there is a 'roots' and a 'screw' and I think there is one more, but I have no idea how they work.
+Jak Ando The one you're missing is a centrifugal type supercharger :)
i wasted one year of my life researching on how a turbocharger works but then here's this man explaining everything i needed to know in 3 minutes. thank you for such a simple yet instructive video
it only took 3 minutes, i feel smart as fuck.
Shekillaboom Me too 🙄
Shekillaboomlp
same
I ve got to replay 10 times until it Visualized in my head
Basically it takes the exhaust gases from the exhaust and fires it into the engine which makes a bigger "bang" in the engine
The best explanation on RUclips so far. Congrats!
......The amount my teachers/books in school tried to make some and/or me to understand the workings of a machines is way beyond the minutes
I read and/or listen than it does in this video. Thank you Thomas Schwenke, your explantion and videos do what other can't achieve.
Thanks for the video, Thomas! And everyone who dares to criticise him: record a video in which you explain something technological speaking a language that isn't your native one.
Even though this is a pretty simple idea, it's still a lot of great ingenuity. Great job to the person(s) who created this invention and animation.
i'm studying internal combustion engine in Korea
This vedio is very helpful for me to understand principle of turbocharger !
Thank you : )
i want to come to korea will you take me?
Lostpockets 222 why ?
This hard work deserve millions of viewers,,
I believe it will be one day
Thanks alot. I also believe that it will have them one day :)
this is the day!

FINALLY! I understand how turbochargers work! This is the best explanation that I've found. Thank you!
Can't see it getting much better than that. Very well done, sir.
you are a one of the few people who actually upload these inetresting videos
thank you so much
dude you're awesome.. please don't stop making videos!!!
Dane Bryan Hi, thank you. And please don't forget to support this channel on bring-knowledge-to-the-world.com/
Great to see a video with proper animation and explanation on how turbochargers work. Many people just think they sound cool but don't how they work.

But like I said, Great video, great illustrations and generous soul for sharing your knowledge and time - thank you.
bvowens Thanks for your great feedback. I'll take this in mind.
***** Really? I thought he said the 'exhaust gas'. Doesn't the turbo make use of the exhaust anyway?
lol the caption says the axle gay ass
no pun intended just youtube needed to fix that
Excellent video! No time was wasted in explaining the principle of turbos. Thanks!
Good job Thomas! One of the best explanations of how a turbocharger works.
Definitely the best video explaining turbos I’ve seen

You have explained the function of a turbocharger in the simplest way with animation. Thanks a lot for educating people like me.
Your videos make Engineering easier to understand & more interesting. Great work man.
Your videos are so helpful. I get the concepts right away. Thank you!
Mike Slone
wow your videos are the coolest thing man they are really well made.
Hundreds101 Thanks alot for your comment :)
I Like ur pic ;)
It'sIllusion same here!
Thomas Schwenke hey i like your style and subscribed to your channel.
Awesome man.. I mean these animations work far better than explaining things...
Thank you very much for such great explanation & animation
A detailed explanation of at least three to four pages has been covered in three minutes
Beautiful video
Best explanation I've seen yet, on a video!! of "How a turbocharger works!"
fernominal Great to hear that!
I think that the accent is good and Thomas speaks slowly so no need to stop the video at all...plus a little German inflection makes it more trustworthy ;) Great animations
super-clear explanation !
Now I understand how this Turbo works.
Thank you very much for that beautifull work, Thomas...
Short and clear video. Right to the point. Thanks for such a lovely video Thomas.
Your videos are amazing!!! You explain everything nicely and your videos are animated very nicely. Love ur videos
Nippa Great to hear that!
Nippa I agree, great stuff. But where is the fuel in all this?
i must say, you have the most informative yet entertaining videos i have seen ! i love them, thank you for making!
Your videos are informative and to the point. The animations are very professional and works excellently as a visual aid. I've just finished watching the turbo explanation and am looking forward to watching the rest of your videos. Keep it up.
I didn't understand how it works in the other videos,then I watched this video. Thanks for making this video :)
This video is very informative. CONSEQUENTLY, it has satisfied my desire to learn. MOREOVER, I feel more confident explaining it to my friends. FURTHERMORE, I wish to express my thank you.
Excellent animation which clearified the principle of turbo.
Explained by Idubbbz holding his shirt in a v-neck position for European look.
^underrated comment
Snoopy Pingas That was my first thought! 😂

Thank you, very useful
SemmyRace why is this so awesome so watch high?
Found the video very informative. A good teacher is one who makes difficult to comprehend matters easy to understand. You sir, are a good teacher.
Really LOVE your videos. Very informative and easy to understand!
Don't listen to the haters, I use english as a secondary language and I can understand what's being said in this video perfectly fine! Keep up the good work man :)
foothormoor, angine, cansequently 😂 that's crack up man I love your accent and awesome video, I feel smarter now
hey Thomas thanks, like many others have said, it only took you minutes to explain what most of enthusiast enjoy but don't understand. keep up with the good work!!
Thanks Sir, for making this video.
Beautiful video. I could watch this kind of stuff all day
Very interesting video. I have Mercedes Diesel turbo charged and turbo really makes a big difference.
What a PERFECT explanation, I was looking for a video just like this so shows the whole system in action
:) The valve opens in the wrong direction.. but great explanation though.
Excellence in education! You are to be commended for the detail, thoroughness and appeal of all your videos. Congratulations! Greetings from Ireland!
In a nutshell, this comment section is a bunch of people making fun of his accent. Seriously, it's really dumb.
Fr. Most of them don't even speak more than one language. Here in america theres tons of people who only speak english but suck at it and have actual terrible accents. This guys accent is fine
@@The-ii5jo not to mention that they can't speak their own language in the correct form!
@@The-ii5jo it's not fine bruh lmao
"xD"
Superb explanation sir now turbocharger concept is easily understandable
Can you narrate my life?
+Jake G No...
Bummer. Sarcasm is a great flavor to life.
+Thomas Schwenke nice video
Jake G consequently
he aint no comedian
Very good animation.Simple explanation and now I understand how it works. Thank you.
great animation! well done :)
my day has not been wasted. iv learned a new mechanical process
Cool!!!!! I have trouble learning by reading things I need to see it in action! A++++
These videos are awesome! So well displayed, his accent is odd but these videos are amazing, and free!
What the hell....that's not a real accent.
It is! :)
It is
It just sounds smoother because it's turbocharged.
Thomas Schwenke +are you a 'bot' ?
Pretty sure he’s German. The Deutche pronunciation of the English “th” and “r” sounds give it away.
Wonderful videos, by the way! Gute Arbeit!
Great video. I don't know squat about engines or how they work, but now I understand how a turbocharger works.
So based on the animation, the turbocharger acts on air that has already been in the combustion chamber??
Watch at 2:30. The exhaust gas drives the turbine and goes out the exhaust while the inlet on the turbo draws fresh air that goes i to the angine
@@cc2x4 😆😆😆
Great video. Highly informative. Also, if you want to have a great drinking game, take a shot every time he says "consequently"
Great video! very well explained!
Thanks for producing this. Your accent is fine!
Beautiful video, thank you
Seeing this demonstration made me smile so hard for the fact the light bulb went off in my head. I finally understand how turbos work!
very good video...
Great job, I never noticed the importance and efficency of the turbo charger!
You should make an animation on 2-stroke engines
+Michael Gunsallus It will come soon!
Best simple explanation ever
They both do the same function, but a supercharger takes the power to rotate from a belt connecting it to the engine, while exhaust air rotates the turbocharger, hence, they supercharger is effective at all RPM while the turbo needs a bit high RPMs, consequently, turbo lag exists.

Thanks for this illustration.
Nice video!. 2018
the knowledge in your 3.42 video will stay with me for 342 years
how it mack flames??
enklis be stronk with this one
the spark plug macks flames
diesel is self-igniting, no spark plug needed
Turun Ambartanen seems kinda unsafe what if the gas tank explodes ?
Vicencio Trejo Jr
edit: it's self-igniting under high pressure
This animation is very helpful for me to teach my students.Thanks a lot.
What is "axles gas"?
badlandskid exhaust gases
badlandskid +When Gunz&Rozez lead singer farts !
Judensau he is saying "exhaust gas" and not "axial gas"
wow i have been looking for something that explains so clearly. thank you good sir
Thinks so much Thomas

I watched this video a few times before I did my turbo build. It really helped me understand the principles of forced induction.

Excellent video. Make it easier for everyone to understand. Well done !
I now want a turbo lol.
No you don't. Too much stress
Nathan Gray Care to explain?
Supercharger is a crank. Turbo forces air into the engine...which could fuck up everything if you OVER DO IT.
Nathan Gray Not quite... both mechanical superchargers and turbochargers (originally called turbosuperchargers) serve the same function: to increase the amount of air fed to the engine and thereby increase horsepower, but they go about it different ways. As explained in the video, a turbocharger uses the vehicle's exhaust gasses to spin the compressor turbine, while a supercharger's turbine is mechanically attached to the engine via a belt, chain or crank.
Both have advantages and drawbacks. Turbochargers take time to spin up to operating speeds, creating the phenomenon of "turbo lag". While superchargers don't have this problem (their turbine speed is always directly proportional to engine RPM), but the additional energy needed to spin the compressor turbine creates a parasitic drag on the engine's horsepower output.
Either method (any plenty of other things besides) can damage an engine if done improperly, but most engines can be turbocharged or supercharged for a moderate power increase without risk, and indeed, more manufacturers are turning to turbochargers as a cheap, efficient way of making power in small-displacement engines straight off the factory floor (see: Subaru, Ford Eco-Boost, etc.). Thanks to the small displacement of these new generation of turbochargers and efficient exhaust routing and engine mapping, modern turbos spool up to full speed very quickly and suffer very little lag.
Thanks to the increased air in the engine producing a cleaner, more complete burn of the fuel, turbochargers are also being used by manufacturers to lower emissions and improve fuel efficiency in order to meet increasingly-strict mandates on both fronts.
Why would you want a turbocharger? Well, aside from more power to go faster, forced induction can also be used to compensate for the power deficit at high altitude. Obviously this is a very common application in radial- or inline-engine aircraft, but it's equally applicable for people who live up in the mountains. Your naturally aspirated engine might make its listed 200 horsepower on the California coast... but in Denver it's probably only making about 170.
Could a turbocharger get better Gas Mileage if you baby it? Or no?
If you can't make up your mind get a twin charger 😈 but you would have to get racing fuel😔
Thanks Thomas for creating all the wonderful videos. :D
consequently count plz
I consequently got the consequential number of consequently infinity
A very nice video indeed but one small point. The wastegate does not open because the engine is producing too much exhaust gas. It opens because the inlet boost pressure is too high. The wastegate itself is opened by a wastegate actuator that is connected by a pipe to the inlet manifold. When boost pressure is too high the pressure opens the wastegate to allow some of the exhaust gas to bypass the turbine. This causes the turbine and compressor to turn more slowly so the inlet boost pressure is reduced. When the inlet boost pressure drops, the wastegate actuator allows the wastegate to close again and the turbine then speeds up again.
well done !
Thanks alot!
I finally understand how a turbo works thanks to you animation. Great job
This is like The Magic School Bus Car Edition
Great animation, it helped me a lot to learn about Turbochargers !
