This animation illustrates the processes inside a four-stroke petrol engine. It serves as a basic introduction to four-stroke petrol engines. Description of the Animation 1. Intake: The valves open. The piston moves downwards. The resulting partial vacuum draws air and fuel into the cylinder, where they mix to form a combustible charge. 2. Compression: The… Read More: Four-Stroke Petrol Engine »
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: Thermodynamic Processes in a Four-Stroke Petrol Engine »
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: Control of a Four-Stroke Petrol Engine »
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: Series and Shunt-Wound Motors »
