The following animations illustrate the processes that take place inside a four-stroke petrol engine. The animation is suitable as a basic introduction to the functioning of four-stroke petrol engines. Description of the animation 1. Intake: The valves open. The piston moves downwards. The vacuum fills the cylinder with air and fuel. Both components mix to… Read More »
The animation shows the thermodynamic processes taking place inside a four-stroke Otto engine. The four-stroke Otto engine accompanies us every day, often without us noticing: In cars, it drives pistons through exactly four steps – intake, compression, power, exhaust. Lawn mowers, motorcycles, and emergency generators also use this principle. Although modern vehicles are becoming increasingly… Read More »
The animation shows the processes that take place when controlling a four-stroke petrol engine. The animation shows the control diagram of a four-stroke petrol engine. A realistic cross-sectional representation can be used to illustrate how the control diagram must be read. Note on use As with all animations, the windows can be zoomed in or… Read More »
The animation shows how electric motors work and their operating behaviour. Series and shunt-wound motors are compared. Note on use As with all animations, the windows can be enlarged or reduced by clicking on them. After starting the application, you can view the animation in full-screen mode. To do this, click on “View” and then… Read More »
