TURBO HISTORY - Boost School #1

In 1905, Mr. Alfred Buchi designed and build the turbo for redial engines so that airplanes could climb higher. Meanwhile, the first powered flight took place in 1912.

I really hope the future is in turbo hybrid systems I want to keep gas powered engines but I can see where the car market is going and why so I would atleast want that future instead of EV only

You are at God level of lecturing anything. Your personal energy could be canned and sold as life aid to others. Worth watching any of your videos. Great work!

👍

Bro I dropped out of college: electrical engineering just to pursue tuning. I started with programming and diagnostics so I can make some money to fund myself and you are blessing me with this education. Please continue this series brother you are a real motivation to keep learning this stuff. Although you didn’t touch on it, your videos got me very interested in the whole ideology behind this which is called mechatronics (which I plan to go back to school for; maybe ecu in Australia because they have dual degree for motor sports) for those who don’t know. Keep inspiring man much love from New York

I had a 86 Mazda 929 turbo.. it was carburettor as well. It was pretty quick and reliable I didn't have many problems 😂 sleeper grandpa car.. you wouldn't pick that it was turbo

That turbo spaceman at the end is so fkin cool, you need to make him into a sticker so I can put it on my car

Has anyone ever considered having a turbo shaft setup like on a inline four or six that bolts straight onto the exhaust manifold, so you have a small turbo connected on a shaft for every exhaust port, may have better heat distribution rather than concentration? Also if you have like a butterfly type shaft spindle it may deliver a more uniform boost more compatible with engine without lag?

I think the best turbo setup would be a turbo that feeds power directly into the crank via direct gear as your going to have to gear reduce maybe with a torque converter with computer controlled electric powered forced induction.

I need the e-turbo now

Biturbo, I think maybe it means "by-turbo" since it is a double turbo setup?

Gm sold the design and tooling fr the jetfire v8 to Rover and they put hat V8 in everything for decades

This guy is like a Goldmine of information . A truly worthy content

Though only discovering this now, this was very informative yet entertaining as someone who's out of a sudden, interested in how cars work

What about lorry engines? Didn't Scania have turbos ages ago?

The snowrunner folks know all about the legendary scout.

My Dad owned an International Scout when I was about 6-7yo. My hipster art teacher in highschool had a pristine one as well

One would think that turbochargers are a more modern invention, and then you look into the history of their development and find out that inventors were messing around with them in the 1870s. Incredible to think that not long after the American Civil War, that somewhere dudes where strapping turbos to engines. Mind blowing.

It’s also incredible that the first flight the Wright Brothers took was in 1903, and yet only 2 years later the first practical turbo was patented for aircraft engines to overcome power loss at altitude. The rate of technological advancement, especially in the early 20th century is staggering. There were some absolutely brilliant minds at work all around the world.

So where was opel or vauxhall?u not adding it....

Imagine being so good of a flight operator that you can land the plane blindly lol.

I would say that the introduction of the wastegate in 1977 (Saab) and the PID controlled boost pressure in 1981 (Saab) massively contributed to the turbo evolution and improved engine behavior, quality and efficiency for daily usage.

I wonder what major innovations.there have been or potentially can be in large marine turbos since big cargo ships aren't going anywhere and need to do their job with less emissions.

Thanks!

This dude deserves like a million subscribers!! Very smart guy, who literally can put anything into layman’s terms

Who would of thought that "ECO-BOOST" originated in the mid 1980's...

One of the best tutorials on Boost/Turbos. Keep them coming.

My grandpa's estate is being sold and one of the things foresale is his 1981 Mercedes turbo diesel like the one in this video.

Bla bla bla look at this add yac yac yac yac here's a sponsor blow blow blow here's how to support us

Turbos are a must on a diesel, but are still troublesome on gasoline engines. Until manufacturers make turbos serviceable as spark plugs, they are costly and greatly reduce the reliability of the vehicle. Ford has gone very turbo. They are great fun, for a while. For now, I would rather have the larger naturally aspirated engine, especially in a pick up truck

Love the video but I need to say the reason carb before the turbo is unreliable is because it freezes the fuel and you get not regular delivery to all ports

Wow

In those biplanes, if the motor didn't have enough oxygen to go higher, I'm pretty sure the pilot didn't have enough oxygen either, lol.

The Germans also used water methanol injection to boost performance of their aircraft engines during WW2, either in 50/50 (MW50) or 70/30 (MW30) ratio. Allowed them to raise power by about 50%, and basically eliminate any issues with overheating.

I have car with boosted engine but I need that sttutuututtutuutuuu

Yeah...😲?? rewriting others' history , swiss civilians N E V E R invents nor introduce turbo 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅 , pls stop just stop. This is 2022 American civilians is no longer european elits's pets !!!!!! Leave them alone.

series that is worth to watch !!

The tdi is the best small moter ever made they were to good that's why they are gone

No shout out to the Pontiac Trans Am Turbo? 😢

Keep in mind when this engine was released, there was 100 octane leaded pump gasoline

I'm not sure if you mention this later, but the wait..wait..wait..boost thing is called boost threshold. Lag only occurs after boost is generated but before the manifold sees full pressure.

It's fascinating how turbo technology was pioneered in aviation and heavy industry before later being developed in the automotive industry. It seems like the centre

m advances shifted between different applications, namely aerospace, heavy industry, and then the consumer automobile market.

And then the technology was developed by different regions over time. You can see the centre of tech development shift from America to Europe and then Asia, and more recently into "internet world".
