Unfortunately they don't show the full 4th stroke.

Pretty **** poor considering that they only seem to include the compression stroke (like you stated). Makes it missleading, cool that it's a true video though.

 

in the beginning of fast and the furious they show a pretty cool clip from pov of the GAS getting put through a turbo'd no2 engine fropm tank to exhaust...pretty sic imo seeing as how it was cgi...

 

I read this years ago, and I am glad to see they still have it up with the images.

i like that link cause you never run out of ammo.........just like if you have a revolver in a movie!

 

^LOL how true. And those revolvers are accurate to 150+ yards.

 

4 stroke was explained to me by a good buddy in very simple terms.....

suck: when the piston moves away from the spark plug it pulls the fuel air mixture in the cylinder and then

compress: the piston compresses the mix and the spark plug ignites it...then

blow: the ignition blows/pushes the piston back which gives u the power....then

clear: the last stroke is when the piston pushes the left over crap in the cylinder out which is ur exhaust.

4 strokes....

 

i was allways tought suck, squeeze, bang, blow. intake, compression, ignition, exaust. the engine draws in the air and fuel. then compresses it, then ignites the air fuel mixture, and then pushes it out the exaust.

 

and thats underwater with a 15 mph sidewind shooting up a 45 deg. incline at something smaller than a quarter...
