Watch An Engine Combustion Cycle Through A Glass Head
Thanks to a special glass cylinder head on a lawn mower engine and an ultra slow-motion camera, this video lets you see the combustion cycle in whole new way
While we have seen a clear engine cover in use before (on a two-stroke engine, rather than a four-stroke), we’ve never seen the combustion cycle quite like this before.
Using a glass-topped lawn mower engine, these guys produced some stunning footage, with a 4000 frames-per-second look at the combustion cycle. That’s 150 times slower than real time, in case you were wondering.
Sit back, relax, and prepare to be mesmerised…
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

you can now watch the sucking, squeezing, banging and blowing IN ACTION.
That baby was cute.

And to think my RC plane engine this happens at 17 000+rpm
Wow
How the hell are engines so quite when thousands of explosions are happening a second lol
If/When I get an old Ford Flathead V8, I hope technology will be advanced enough to make a transparent head durable enough to be a permanent part as opposed to a party piece.
So satisfying to watch
This needs adding to one of those satisfying video compilations
Why (in the video) does the spark plug ignite when the piston is forcing the exhaust out through the exhaust valve?
to ignite any residual fuel
We need a Glass Boxer
