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.

Would this clear engine cover fit in my Honda, it’s the real question.
So this is how the heart of a petrolhead sounds like?
