Not an engine or motor but interesting engineering anyway.

Wow, that's astonishing.

Even the sweat from your hands could ruin these fitting tolerances, hence the gloves and the wipes.

and if that whetted your appetite try this one

It's all so clean

a lot different when they've done 100k miles covered in fluid spills and road grot and you're lying underneath trying to unbolt the stuff so easily popped on on the assembly line.

From the huge to....

Then try this one

One for Myglaren.

What would Lin Gouer make of this.

I reckon she would do it quicker than the robots.

Also, there is some clever editing in the video where pictures of a completely different trans axle are included. Why? No idea.

Always fascinates me watching Linguoer rewinding buggered electric motors. I wouldn't know where to start

Try this guy on for size

some of his stuff won't interest everyone but there are little nuggets of vlogs in there. Plus, it is approaching summertime in NZ just now to help warm you up.

Try this for some historical context.

Then look at this one about the Trabant

Or watch them the other way round.

Not a motor but a bit of (civil) engineering.

Apologies for the distorted English.

I'll plonk this here, although it's actually a diseasel/hydrogen hybrid engine.

The race to make diesel engines run on hydrogen

"It's a new hydrogen-diesel hybrid engine affectionately known as "baby number two" that could help to decarbonise some of Australia's heaviest industries.

Engineers at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) say they have successfully modified a conventional diesel engine to use a mix of hydrogen and a small amount of diesel, claiming their patented technology has cut carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by more than 85%.

"We mount the hydrogen direct injection system into existing diesel engines, which can be applied to any conventional engine," he adds. "

This bit intrigues me.......

"If the hydrogen is not introduced into the fuel mix at the right moment "it will create something that is explosive that will burn out the whole system," Prof Kook explains. "

....Ooooh ! Something to rival electric vehicle batteries in the spontaneous combustion department
