How do engines work?

    so, to keep this short sweet and simple I'll tell you how it works, and then I'll explain in further detail later. 

the key concept of any engine is suck, squeeze, bang, blow. Now, I know it sounds weird but those are the 4 simple concepts, if you know this then you will have no problems fixing or understanding how a engine works and what broke or why it broke. 

• "Suck":

    The suck portion is the how the engine intakes Fuel. Imagine this, when you go up in a bicycle pump it takes in air. The engine does the same thing, but it adds fuel with the air and the fuel is atomized when it pumps. Something to mention with the bike pump analogy is that the engine is pumping downwards in the opposite direction and is only allowed to suck when the valves open to let the fuel-air mixture in. 

• "Squeeze" :

    when a engine "squeezes" or compresses the air-fuel mixture the cylinder goes up and keeps the valves shut. its like putting a plug at the end off your bike pump when you compress the air. It create a curtain amount of foot pounds of pressure and also coincidently heats up.  

• "Bang"  

    The bang happens when theirs is a spark to ignite the compressed air-fuel mixture. In the case of the engine the spark is caused by a Spark Plug, though it's not a literal spark but a controlled ark in between 2 points though it's enough to ignite the air-fuel mixture to produce a chemical energy and to be harnessed by a mechanical energy like all the components that make up an engine.

• "Blow"

    Now onto the last part, the blow portion is exactly like what you do when you blow using your lungs, or a bike pump when you push down, or even a blow a tire. When a engine "blows", the engine is opening leading to a valve to release all the spent trapped gas and releases it out of the exhaust. The only thing i can compare it to is the end of a concert. When the concert ends, everyone is rushing to the front door trying to leave. Same concept but This is happening in an engine, though the exhaust and goes right out the tail pipe. 

 

Thank you for sticking around to the end I greatly appreciate it. I've been trying to learn how to blog better and have come to the conclusion that the shorter it is the better it is. I left all the key components in their so you can understand them quickly and efficiently. 

OF COURSE WE CAN'T LEAVE WITHOUT A PRIZE!!!

HERE YA GOOO!!

Here are some super beautiful fuzzy brown bears. Alright I'm done now have a good day or night!
