Bartosz Ciechanowski discusses the invention of the internal combustion engine in the 19th century and how it has revolutionized transportation over land, water, and air. All with detailed 3D images, many moving.
Despite their omnipresence in modern day, the operation of an engine may be cryptic. Over the course of this article I’d like to explain the functionality of all the basic engine parts shown (above).
Each part is built out until the whole is fully sketched.
Unchallenged for decades, the internal combustion engines in cars are slowly being supplanted by their electric equivalents, which are simpler, quieter, and more environmentally friendly.
Despite their drawbacks, classic engines still have something mythical about them, their intricate mechanisms are synchronized together to create carefully controlled conditions for harnessing fire in a truly Promethean way.
