Only old documentaries can explain it so nicely. Now a days they do presentations on computers but still do not match these old ones. Btw the voice in these old days was so typical as if only one and same person was there doing voice-over for all these presentations :)

I'm taking a beginner mechanic course. I read about this about five times and still didn't understand. Watched this video once and it all makes sense now! Thank you thank you thank you so much! Adding this to my school work playlist

NO wonder people were smarter back then....they explain everything so simple to understand.

SIMPLEST WAY OF EXPLAINING HOW THE ENGINE WORKS. GOOD JOB!

I know this technology has been around a long time but I’m still more amazed by an engine’s operation than most new things today. We think of the old days as more primitive but it feels more advanced than today, honestly.

Arguably the single best video I've seen on all of the internet. I was having an epiphany every 4 seconds I watched this.

Everything must be perfectly synced to work. I have new appreciation for the engineering of engines

And if you rev it high enough, it becomes an external combustion engine.

I like the no nonsense way this is presented. They didn't try to introduce needless comedy and jokes in this.

Thank you from a 77 year old lady who is trying to understand how things work.

This 5 minute video made more sense to me than the past 2 90-minute classes in auto motives

I couldn't imagine how the inventor came out this kind of idea when it comes to naming parts of this unique machine and how clearly explain. !? Awesome & Amazing

I don't recall ever seeing a video more easy to understand than this one. Thanks so much for posting

Perfect explanation with a wonderful conceptual setup. Makes everything clear and graspable. Always wondered how all these things worked together, now I know!

This is how you explain very complicated things. Thank you.

These old documentaries are amazing. I already thoroughly understand engines. But the simplicity and narration of these films can't be matched.

It was probably made at least 60 years ago and is astonishingly better than most modern day video explanations. This is to show that excellent education is timeless.
