To make it clear for everyone, the super charger is the thing that goes SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII while the turbo goes SUUUUUUU STUUTUTUTU SUUUUUUU STUUUTUTU

I actually didn't know how a supercharger worked. Thanks for the video!

I'm speechless at how well made this video is. Easy to understand and aesthetically pleasing!

I'm a mechanic who spent years working in a performance shop, and so I'm already quite familiar with how both of these systems work. But I clicked anyway because I enjoy observing your work. Animagraffs = the best visual education tool I've ever seen.

Man, this video together with your car engine one and the transmission one are like the holy trinity of videos to get a solid visual understanding of how cars/engines work. Actually, as your library of videos is growing, it might be a good idea to create some playlists on your channel, grouping together videos about similar/related topics or categories of the video subject. For example, • a *_How Cars Work_* playlist for the holy trinity I mentioned above. • *_How Aircraft Work_* - Jet engine, P51, jet airliner, airliner cockpit. *_How Specialised Vehicles Work_* - F1, nascar, fire engine • Maybe a big one for all of your vehicle related videos? • Can probably group the solar & water treatment stuff together. • And maybe group the sewing machine, watch, & speaker videos. Anyway, you get the idea. Sorry for the super long comment. Incredible work as always Jake (and Wesley?), keep it up and thanks for the great content!

I learned more in this 7 min video than I did in a 2 and a half hour lecture. No bs, straight to the point.

I actually already know how these things work, but I stay for the animation, it's simply too good

This is so well done that it temps me to install a turbo charger to my own engine

Good content! Excellent animations with plenty of interesting information and professional sounding voiceovers! The subtle background soundtrack adds depth. You’re never going to run out of subject material. Look forward to the next one 👍🏻!

Pausing at about 3:41 and watching arrows explains a turbo in a such a simple way Thanks for the video!!!

That was an incredibly well done and well made a video, to be honest I never really understood exactly how a supercharger worked. I don’t know that you could have made it any clearer, thank you for your work!

Ever since I found this channel ive always had the same thought, you put in all of work into this and its incredibly amusing to watch

How on Earth can you produce so many amazing animations, along with the research and explanations for it all. Fantastic.

Great video as always. Small correction from a centrifugal compressor engineer - compression in a centrifugal compressor does not occur due to the changing cross section in the spiral casing (3:25). Rather, compression is caused by the impeller "slinging" the air to the outside of the spiral casing. This rapid increase in kinetic energy is then converted to an increase in pressure as the air slows down through the gradual increase in area of the spiral casing (or diffuser). Keep up the great work!

Dude. These videos are amazing. I already know how engines work but this is so well explained I could show this to my 9 year old

BLOW OFF VALVE! small detail but iconic. The pissing sounds everybody love. Though has nothing to do with the performance directly, it has everything to do with how you feel behind the wheel of a turbo charged cars.

wow more and more animations being made. this is amazing. i love every single one of these videos. its like a condensed how it's made / how it works.

Another great video

Fantastic explanation!! Thank you!

Dude I just want to say that was awesome. Really learned a lot. Thank you!

Excellent animations, and a great introduction to forced induction systems for automotive applications. I'd like to offer some constructive feedback regarding some of the finer technical details: * Centrifugal compressors (including turbocompressors) do not build pressure due to the change in outlet cross section shrinking (it actually grows in cross sectional area), but rather because the kinetic energy (linear velocity) imparted into the air by the compressor vanes is converted into potential energy (pressure) when air molecules slow down as they are flung out of the exducer and into the mass of air ahead of them in the pressurized section of the intake tract. This mass of slow-moving air exists because the engine is an inefficient air pump that cannot ingest air as quickly as the centrifugal compressor can move it. * All forced induction compressors generate heat due to compression, and many supercharged applications use intercooling to mitigate this heating. In both turbocharged and supercharged applications, air to water intercooling is becoming more common for its increased efficiency and improved packaging. Superchargers may omit intercooling because they generate minimal pressure (5-10psig is common, vs 20-30psig in modern turbo applications) and thus heat increase, or because the reduced performance and efficiency is acceptable in trade for reduced complexity. For similar reasons, older turbocharged designs also often omitted intercooling. Evaporative cooling (eg water, methanol, or additional fuel injection) may also be used in either setup to improve charge density. * You correctly note that turbochargers are powered by waste heat. Expanding on this (pun intended) to explain how engine exhaust continues to expand after the combustion process is complete may be helpful to new learners who aren't familiar with this concept. All in all, a well-constructed video that is easy to follow. Good work Jake!

I love watching your videos, you do amazing work!

Instantly subscribed. Amazing job on the videos

This.... is AMAZING! Thank you, excellent video!

I am speechless on how high-quality this video is! Great job Animagraffs!!

Great videos! I study as a vehicle engineer and I have learned a lot from these videos, they are very useful and well animated. It would be great to have a video about Planetary Gearset Automatic Transmissions😁

Thank you so much for such simple and in depth explanation. I really appreciate you and wish you all the success.

I was just learning about these things not too long ago and understood the concepts, but these visualisations really let things come together for me.

One of my favorite topics in automotive engineering. Fantastic video as always!

Another great video, thank you very much! 👌

Beautiful animation and straight to the point. What an excellent video!

Thank you SO much for the work you put in on this! Absolutely brilliant and I constantly learn from you the weird stuff that I sorta intuited--but couldn't prove? And here you've explained this with genius! I look forward to all your future products, let me know if I can help?

_Absolute gold!_ 👍 I'm a highly visual, analytical & mechanically-minded person who grew up on blueprints & cutaway diagrams, so these 'animagraffs' tickle every neuron in my brain... just awesome! Communicating technical info in a readily digestible format is challenging at the best of times, but the time & effort invested into these videos must be huge... please know that it doesn't go unnoticed. Bravo Jake & Wesley 👏

Mighty fine 3D rendering work, I love your art style and minimalistic approach.

Very nice graphics and explanations 👍

Bro this is the best explanation ive ever heard. The animations were a big help. Thank u

Can you please do a video explaining how hybrid cars work!?

Now if you could do a video explaining how cars suspension works and the different types. Love your stuff!

I am just started learning how a car work so I had no previous knowledge. This video explained it so well.

These are very well-made videos that explain often complicated ideas and principles in easy-to-understand animations. Excellent!

Keep up the uploads Jake! You’re my go-to channel for mechanical engineering.

I personally prefer the power delivery characteristics of Naturally Aspirated or Supercharged engines. Although a spunky turbo can be super fun too.

I know for a fact, James May will be impressed by your work and knowledge in automotive. Let along the beautifully design animation. Btw, imagine if you were a professor in some university, your class will always have students wanting to take your class ... repeatedly.

You just keep impressing me every time a new video comes. Wow! Thank you. Good job!

It's worth noting that designs that use both supercharger and turbocharger in the same engine exist, they are called twinchargers but they are rarely used because they are very complex.

I’m a master technician and still enjoy watching these. Would be good for mandatory training videos for new technicians

I love your channel! I’m studying english and started to watch videos to learn more vocabulary. And yours are so interesting! I subscribed in the first 5 minutes! Thank you for doing these amazing videos! Could you make one explaining how does sound get recorded in tapes?

I love your videos and 3D models. Amazing work and I really appreciated it. Thank you.

Great video. One hint: you missed bi-turbo, a combination of two diffrent sized turbos (one small and one big), they prevent in more or less way the "turbo-lag" (the small turbo performs best for low rpm, both combined operation for middle rpm and the big one is delivering supercharging at high rpm).

I already know how these systems work but I love a good explanation and it felt so luxurious

Excellent video and you broke it down and explain each different type of supercharger and turbo and the pros and some cons. One more con to the turbo side is oftentimes you have to change your oil much sooner because the turbo uses oil to cool itself down but is extremely hot so you often cook the oil much more quickly than a regular engine would. Me personally I like the superchargers👍

💗💗💗💗💗💓

impressive work!

Superb video explaining how differently the two systems work, and both systems pros and cons.👍

Superb. I know understand both on a detailed level, though I had the general concept before. Appreciated!

This was such a well made video. Easy to understand and great examples

This is so well made and informative, thanks a lot!

I stumbled on to this channel by accident which was a great accident. I have been watching your channel every since. It's very educational and I'm learning how something that I never gave a second thought to has became a very interesting story. Keep up with all that you do you have a great channel. James

Fantastic video, thank you ! This was a clear concise and easy to understand animation and description.

Excellent video. Loved the animation! Thanks for sharing!

Amazing video and narration. keep up the great job.

Another Masterpiece! Great job! Can't wait for the next 👍

Excellent informative video . Ive recently had a supercharged hayabusa drag bike (350 horsepower) & a turbo hayabusa drag bike (450 horsepower) & gone back to a normally aspirated big block motor for the simplicity & reliability. Great fun , & quick on a bike but enormous maintenance & short engine life . Add 1 sub from England 🇬🇧

If there was a class on this topic in school, I'd actually stay awake

Thank you so much, beautiful explanation

Have learned so much from Animigraffs. Keep 'em comin' please!

This video is perfect for all my supercharged questions.. and is good to know now how turbos works to,thanks. .

Where has this channel been all my life! This is some awesome content!

If I recall, WW2 aircraft radial engines had a super charger and turbo installed. This set up had an advantage for extra HP and speed when flying higher altitudes. Great video 👍

Amazing work, as always!

Thanks for informing..3d videos helps a lot easier and faster and highly efficient way to learn these complex terms.... Once again THANK YOU for your hard work..

purchased a twin(scroll) turbo bmw and wanted to know how that differs from a regular twin turbo. definitely not disappointed by this video, good stuff.

Very nice explanation I always wanted to know how super charges work thank you for sharing 😊

Very helpful. Awesome video, visuals and information. Just subbed! 🤙

Awesome video brother. Thank you so much. Quite informative and simple 👍🏻

Great video! Got into this after looking at the p-47 thunderbolt turbocharger

Amazing explained. Thanks a lot.

Gorgeously presented. You (or whomever made this animation) should create a lecture series for mechanics. I would pay good money for that training. And many others would as well. A fuller understanding for visual learners would be an indispensable asset. Thanks for sharing this.

Absolutely love your videos man I’m hooked!❤

Just watched n subscribed!, amazing how the video broke everything down and helped me understand n know how to maintain and look after my 07 passat 2.0t

Thank you, very well explained in general terms.

Great explanation, as always.

Already knew this but I still tune in to see these animations and hear that voice! 👏

Thank you. Wish you existed in the 80's and 90's during auto mechanics class

Thanks to you and UKposts for this 🙏

Thanks for the information, was very helpful.

I know how they work but learned a lot more from this video

within 30 seconds he's told you the very basics of the difference, then goes on to elaborate in under 10 minutes.

Well explained, thanks for the video 💯

Good stuff man, your work is legit

There were not such videos around when I was a student of mechanical engineering. Great animation.

I love this video and all the others I’ve seen from your channel so far. Just a quick question, at around 2:07 the twin screw design appears to have a gear reduction from the input to the other shaft, but they seem to be rotating at the same speed. Genuinely curious is this right?

Amazing video mate, love it, keep like that💪💪💪

Very good explanation , thanks for the video!

It’s funny how someone like me already knew all this but wanted to watch the video anyways because your videos are absolutely incredible! Such detail. 👍👍🤙👍

Love the graphics as usual!

Excellent graphics, excellent explanation, superb!!

Excellent break down. Thank you

Hello. My name is Luis I am dropping Colombia and I like to watch your videos and at the same time trying to learning about punctuation. I love your videos when has the comas and period. Like the F1 cars or the car engines. If you can keep doing can be excellent. My friends from Colombia and I we love to learn Englis through your videos. Thank you so much, have a terrific rest of the day.

Dude… your videos are amazing. Keep it up
