Chances are, if you read this site regularly, you are a "car guy (or gal)." This means constant questions about what car to buy... which you frequently ignore because your non-car friends just ignore the advice. However, when you get someone who asks a question about how a engine or car component works, you may want to use this handy animated infographic designed/created by Jacob O'Neal. Cool graphic and in keeping with a recurring DT theme...it is totally free!

Sorry about the alignment, but it is significantly wider than DT's regular frames.
Needs moar forced induction. And pushrods. And carburetors. And flat-heads. And L heads. And W configurations. And radiasl. And rotaries. (insert "Boost in / Apex seals out").
ReplyDeleteThe above was tongue-in-cheek. That's a seriously awesome infographic. This will be going to all of my non-car-guys & gals.
Thanks DT and Jacob O'Neal!
And I need to learn how to spell Radial.
Delete~ excellent article and graphics! i really like when you run this sort of stuff. thanks.
ReplyDeleteI like this graphic. Need to do one on an automatic transmission sometime. My current understanding goes like this:
ReplyDeleteEngine---->Magic----->Driveshaft.
This is great, but similar to all the other "how it works" stuff out there. What would really get me going is if someone included the finer details - animations showing how intake and exhaust resonance affects combustion, combustion swirl, the effect of oil sprayers inside the block, variable cam timing, dry vs. wet sump, direct injection vs. port etc etc...
