To make it clear for everyone, the super charger is the thing that goes SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII while the turbo goes SUUUUUUU STUUTUTUTU SUUUUUUU STUUUTUTU
Most underrated comment
@@nathanael8082 thank you sir
@@AronDubstepMusic You're welcome king 🫡
Whiner vs sneezer
Love it thanks for the heads up
I'm speechless at how well made this video is. Easy to understand and aesthetically pleasing!
Dude this is so educational
I’m having fun learning because of how well it is explained
@@user-cr4sw4dr4y hii
nobody asked for your speech 😂
And short video to boot
I actually didn't know how a supercharger worked. Thanks for the video!
Niye bilmiyordun?
@E Double what makes you think I didn't know?
Thought you were daniel (zorbii) from itsjusta6
@@bilalcakir5750 because your commenting on a vid that explains how they work? Wouldnt of clicked on the vid if u knew 🤦♂️
Goodness me how could you not know!
I'm a mechanic who spent years working in a performance shop, and so I'm already quite familiar with how both of these systems work.
But I clicked anyway because I enjoy observing your work. Animagraffs = the best visual education tool I've ever seen.
Same Im a mechanic and I just click the video bc it's interesting
Kasper...the friendly ghost?
Yes
it's not "turbos", which is non-sense, but turbocharge
@@SuperSuperka look out everybody. Word Po-Po is watchn
Man, this video together with your car engine one and the transmission one are like the holy trinity of videos to get a solid visual understanding of how cars/engines work.
Actually, as your library of videos is growing, it might be a good idea to create some playlists on your channel, grouping together videos about similar/related topics or categories of the video subject.
For example,
• a *_How Cars Work_* playlist for the holy trinity I mentioned above.
• *_How Aircraft Work_* - Jet engine, P51, jet airliner, airliner cockpit.
*_How Specialised Vehicles Work_* - F1, nascar, fire engine
• Maybe a big one for all of your vehicle related videos?
• Can probably group the solar & water treatment stuff together.
• And maybe group the sewing machine, watch, & speaker videos.
Anyway, you get the idea.
Sorry for the super long comment. Incredible work as always Jake (and Wesley?), keep it up and thanks for the great content!
i love that they did exactly that too!! amazing channel
How guitar amplifier works?🤩
@@amphimrca 🤭😄
How does a pregnancy test work
This is what constructive criticism looks like 👍
I learned more in this 7 min video than I did in a 2 and a half hour lecture. No bs, straight to the point.
I actually already know how these things work, but I stay for the animation, it's simply too good
I'm sure you learned something from this
This is so well done that it temps me to install a turbo charger to my own engine
If the engine isn't built for it, the extra pressure will pop the cylinder head off.
"tempts"
recommend buying someone else's project and building off of that as it can be a mild nightmare with a steep learning curve and after a year of fine tuning some might say the experience is worth it.
@@renorailfanning5465 thank you. I was lacking in the spelling department lol
@@dougaltolan3017 totally. I for sure wouldn’t do it to a daily
Pausing at about 3:41 and watching arrows explains a turbo in a such a simple way Thanks for the video!!!
Good content! Excellent animations with plenty of interesting information and professional sounding voiceovers! The subtle background soundtrack adds depth. You’re never going to run out of subject material. Look forward to the next one 👍🏻!
I am just started learning how a car work so I had no previous knowledge. This video explained it so well.
This.... is AMAZING! Thank you, excellent video!
How on Earth can you produce so many amazing animations, along with the research and explanations for it all. Fantastic.
That was an incredibly well done and well made a video, to be honest I never really understood exactly how a supercharger worked. I don’t know that you could have made it any clearer, thank you for your work!
Fantastic explanation!! Thank you!
Dude. These videos are amazing.
I already know how engines work but this is so well explained I could show this to my 9 year old
Great video as always.
Small correction from a centrifugal compressor engineer - compression in a centrifugal compressor does not occur due to the changing cross section in the spiral casing (3:25). Rather, compression is caused by the impeller "slinging" the air to the outside of the spiral casing. This rapid increase in kinetic energy is then converted to an increase in pressure as the air slows down through the gradual increase in area of the spiral casing (or diffuser).
Keep up the great work!
Ohhh is that why the impeller blades have so much clearance from its casing? So the outer air can move slower than the impeller itself, allowing the impeller to _squash_ more air into the same space before it leaves the turbo.
@@Leptons_ I think you have the right idea. Another name for the casing is the "collector," named thusly because it continuously gathers the fluid being thrown out of the impeller. The cross section of the collector gradually increases as the air moves towards the outlet of the casing, allowing the air to bunch up and convert its high velocity into pressure (and heat).
Centrifugal Compressor Engineer, this might be the most interestingly specific job title I've discovered this year lol sounds awesome
Another small correction / point: turbo / superchargers don't just allow for More fuel to be burned, thus increasing power density, but they also increase thermal efficiency. So you get more power per unit of fuel. That's the reason modern aircraft engines go to higher and higher compression ratios.
wow more and more animations being made. this is amazing. i love every single one of these videos. its like a condensed how it's made / how it works.
Ever since I found this channel ive always had the same thought, you put in all of work into this and its incredibly amusing to watch
Instantly subscribed. Amazing job on the videos
I love watching your videos, you do amazing work!
I am speechless on how high-quality this video is! Great job Animagraffs!!
Dude I just want to say that was awesome. Really learned a lot. Thank you!
I was just learning about these things not too long ago and understood the concepts, but these visualisations really let things come together for me.
Excellent animations, and a great introduction to forced induction systems for automotive applications. I'd like to offer some constructive feedback regarding some of the finer technical details:
* Centrifugal compressors (including turbocompressors) do not build pressure due to the change in outlet cross section shrinking (it actually grows in cross sectional area), but rather because the kinetic energy (linear velocity) imparted into the air by the compressor vanes is converted into potential energy (pressure) when air molecules slow down as they are flung out of the exducer and into the mass of air ahead of them in the pressurized section of the intake tract. This mass of slow-moving air exists because the engine is an inefficient air pump that cannot ingest air as quickly as the centrifugal compressor can move it.
* All forced induction compressors generate heat due to compression, and many supercharged applications use intercooling to mitigate this heating. In both turbocharged and supercharged applications, air to water intercooling is becoming more common for its increased efficiency and improved packaging. Superchargers may omit intercooling because they generate minimal pressure (5-10psig is common, vs 20-30psig in modern turbo applications) and thus heat increase, or because the reduced performance and efficiency is acceptable in trade for reduced complexity. For similar reasons, older turbocharged designs also often omitted intercooling. Evaporative cooling (eg water, methanol, or additional fuel injection) may also be used in either setup to improve charge density.
* You correctly note that turbochargers are powered by waste heat. Expanding on this (pun intended) to explain how engine exhaust continues to expand after the combustion process is complete may be helpful to new learners who aren't familiar with this concept.
All in all, a well-constructed video that is easy to follow. Good work Jake!
_Absolute gold!_ 👍 I'm a highly visual, analytical & mechanically-minded person who grew up on blueprints & cutaway diagrams, so these 'animagraffs' tickle every neuron in my brain... just awesome! Communicating technical info in a readily digestible format is challenging at the best of times, but the time & effort invested into these videos must be huge... please know that it doesn't go unnoticed. Bravo Jake & Wesley 👏
Very nice graphics and explanations 👍
Beautiful animation and straight to the point. What an excellent video!
One of my favorite topics in automotive engineering. Fantastic video as always!
Mighty fine 3D rendering work, I love your art style and minimalistic approach.
FBI approved
Bro this is the best explanation ive ever heard. The animations were a big help. Thank u
Thank you so much for such simple and in depth explanation. I really appreciate you and wish you all the success.
Another great video, thank you very much! 👌
Another great video
I love your videos and 3D models. Amazing work and I really appreciated it. Thank you.
I already know how these systems work but I love a good explanation and it felt so luxurious
Can you please do a video explaining how hybrid cars work!?
Now if you could do a video explaining how cars suspension works and the different types. Love your stuff!
Ouch 🤣🤣🤣
You just keep impressing me every time a new video comes. Wow! Thank you. Good job!
Superb. I know understand both on a detailed level, though I had the general concept before. Appreciated!
Great videos! I study as a vehicle engineer and I have learned a lot from these videos, they are very useful and well animated. It would be great to have a video about Planetary Gearset Automatic Transmissions😁
⛽
somebody is already did just gogle it
Keep up the uploads Jake! You’re my go-to channel for mechanical engineering.
These are very well-made videos that explain often complicated ideas and principles in easy-to-understand animations. Excellent!
Superb video explaining how differently the two systems work, and both systems pros and cons.👍
It's worth noting that designs that use both supercharger and turbocharger in the same engine exist, they are called twinchargers but they are rarely used because they are very complex.
It is used in railway locomotives in india...
Thank you for saying that. I was wondering, "Why can't you use both? They are on separate parts of the engine?"
I personally prefer the power delivery characteristics of Naturally Aspirated or Supercharged engines. Although a spunky turbo can be super fun too.
A well spec’d turbo is not spunky at all
impressive work!
This was such a well made video. Easy to understand and great examples
I’m a master technician and still enjoy watching these. Would be good for mandatory training videos for new technicians
Great video. One hint: you missed bi-turbo, a combination of two diffrent sized turbos (one small and one big), they prevent in more or less way the "turbo-lag" (the small turbo performs best for low rpm, both combined operation for middle rpm and the big one is delivering supercharging at high rpm).
Thank you so much, beautiful explanation
This video is perfect for all my supercharged questions.. and is good to know now how turbos works to,thanks. .
💗💗💗💗💗💓
Excellent video. Loved the animation!
Thanks for sharing!
Great video! Got into this after looking at the p-47 thunderbolt turbocharger
This is so well made and informative, thanks a lot!
Thank you SO much for the work you put in on this! Absolutely brilliant and I constantly learn from you the weird stuff that I sorta intuited--but couldn't prove? And here you've explained this with genius! I look forward to all your future products, let me know if I can help?
Thanks for the information, was very helpful.
Another Masterpiece! Great job! Can't wait for the next 👍
Excellent break down. Thank you
Amazing explained. Thanks a lot.
Thank you, very well explained in general terms.
Have learned so much from Animigraffs. Keep 'em comin' please!
Amazing video and narration. keep up the great job.
Fantastic video, thank you ! This was a clear concise and easy to understand animation and description.
I'll be learning every day
Well explained, thanks for the video 💯
There were not such videos around when I was a student of mechanical engineering. Great animation.
This channel is so amazing. Mad respect!
Excellent video and you broke it down and explain each different type of supercharger and turbo and the pros and some cons.
One more con to the turbo side is oftentimes you have to change your oil much sooner because the turbo uses oil to cool itself down but is extremely hot so you often cook the oil much more quickly than a regular engine would.
Me personally I like the superchargers👍
Already knew this but I still tune in to see these animations and hear that voice! 👏
Thanks for informing..3d videos helps a lot easier and faster and highly efficient way to learn these complex terms....
Once again THANK YOU for your hard work..
Just watched n subscribed!, amazing how the video broke everything down and helped me understand n know how to maintain and look after my 07 passat 2.0t
