"Incredible footage from inside a Working Petrol Engine."
 
This is cool.

Piston, valves and spark plug all clearly show that simple action to make engines run. High pressure and miniature temperature resistant 1000fps camera was used.

That is absolutely brilliant! Particularly for a tech ignorant like me. Thanks a lot for posting, Kurt!

I used to do that work 30 years ago. We had a square piston in a square"cylinder" with glass windows and would take shlieren pics to watch flame front. This was when there was a lot of interest in reducing emissions and improving combustion process.

I noticed that the flame seems to atttach to the edges of the intake valve. Interesting.

Kurt - what is the link?

I first found it here:

It was linked from here:

That's pretty neat. . .

Does the exhaust valve pop closed like that or is the video clipped/edited?

If it does pop closed, I never realized the intake valve's opening and closing movements are smooth and the exhaust valve opened like the intake valve, but popped closed much faster. I understand that this footage is slowed down considerably.

Best,
Kurt

I'm gonna use this in training.

This was posted to the turbobuick forum a few weeks ago. It looks like not quite one revolution in a loop before the camera suffers meltdown.

I really think the video is clipped. You never see the piston come to TDC on the exhaust stroke at all.
