This is neat. If someone wants a slightly more comedic take on automotive engine designs, Donut Media has some interesting content.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong but I think I've heard the term "suck squeeze bang blow" way before Feb 23, 2021 and also before 2015 (creation of that Youtube channel) so I find that claim hard to believe.
Weird. I've been talking to people about cars for decades and I'd never heard it before them. Is it just something that people don't say anymore?

I guess for whatever reason it's just not used as much, or at least not enough that I've heard it before.
edit: and googling some more, there are instances of in being used it 1950s. And the likely first author of the saying might well be the inventor of the 4 stroke engine himself, Nicolaus Otto, who used a similar saying to describe it: Saugen, Drücken, Knall, Schlag.
> Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if the great Nikolaus August Otto, inventor of the four-cycle engine had a similar saying to explain his engine: Saugen, Drücken, Knall, Schlag...
So I think this is apocryphal.
I do see though that the breakdown of the Otto cycle on most sites including German ones (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottomotor) is usually made in a way that just sorts of lends itself to being transformed that way.
Well, thanks for making me go through his writings, this was fun!
Not that all their videos have these issues, but some do and it gets pretty ridiculous.
it seems sort of rare on the Internet, particularly in videos, for someone to NOT be doing a 'comedic' take, along with a jump cut every 5 seconds, background music; all kinds of stuff that feels like it is desperately trying to do everything it can all at once to make someone not hit the back button. ironically, hitting the back button is the first thing i do when a video starts with 'Wats up Guyz' or something along those lines. the original post is a breath of fresh air, straight to the point. I wish the Internet was more like this in general.
Reading and watching an animation is better than video tutorials in almost every regard.
