I agree no exahust stroke, valve opens then starts again, great piece of film though:drive:

You'll no doubt like these two then;

Both Renault F1 engines and both probably seen a thousand times before, but they never get old.

it does look mint , but is it real ? :confused:


I cant help thinking there is way too fuel/air mixture going in and the piston doesnt seem to respond to the explosion fast enough , also its obviously slowed right down , but looks to good a quality video for something that is happening very very fast !

How the hell did they shoot that ,,,, the camera must be pressure resistant and fire resistant too

I guess im just an old cynic :o lol

Fibreoptic camera...like an endoscope, cameras not near the engine. (this is how i assume they did it ;))

It's obviously high speed video shot through a fiber optic borescope camera.
See http://testproducts.com/safecart/pro...13edf77d115f59

They prolly had to drill a hole in the cylinder wall.

good point rob , it must be some special kit !!! but still got my doubts :o


Actually i had an endoscopy once , but my stomach isnt pressurized and doesnt hit very high temperatures ,

Except after a night on the town followed by a curry, then its a different story :D

I doubt they get much MPG :D
