Gabster Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 It reminds you how simple the idea of the combustion engine is, and actually if you think about it and you go about to the steam engine its all about creating pressure in a sealed tube which creates horizontal piston movement and is then transfered into rotary movement.

Mook Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 [ QUOTE ] Nice find! Reference the frame rate, my guess is that's the engine starting up. [/ QUOTE ] What a load of bollox, Ian. If you just think about it, even if a car's idling at 600rpm, that's 10 revolutions per second, so it'll be sparking 5 times every second.

Click on the comments and see what people have had to say about it as well. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5815350492893860613&hl=en Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
