Hearted Youtube comments on driving 4 answers (@d4a) channel.

  1. I can’t even quantify how much I’ve learned from you over the last few years 🤯

  2. An incredible video, thanks! Never asked for it, but definitely loved it and helped me to understand the theory behind it

  3. I love these videos, you have a great ability to take deep dive into a complicated, almost nerdy subtopic, and illustrate it in a lighthearted and engaging manner.

  4. "Untouched by the filthy hands of non-Scotty Kilmer approved brands" I literally laughed so hard I choked! This car looks amazing. Another outstanding video, D4A! Love your content. Thank you so much for what you do and Merry Christmas from California!!

  5. Yo, massive respect for actually taking down a video, because of misinformation, and actually uploaded a new version

  6. for me to go through 22 minutes of "complex" engineering without getting bored once is really impressive, this video is on another level of clarity and entertainment, congrats!

  7. If I had a teacher like this I would definitely go for engineering school.
    852
  8. The video can't make me buy anything because I don't have money

  9. Can we take a moment to appreciate how well D4A expresses and articulates himself, and how overall well-written are his videos. Aside from all the car knowledge he has, he really has a talent when conveying himself without having to pull out ultra flashy and super elaborated edits (not saying that would be something bad). It's an absolute joy to listen to him, I love listening to great comunicators.

  10. This seems like an obfuscated ratcheting CVT, these have been around for a while. There's a bunch of extra gears and levers to make it seem like something new and different, but really it's just a ratcheting cvt, the animation around 13:00 really makes it clear as thats the same motion and link as in a ratcheting cvt. The freewheeling you mentioned isn't a bicycle specific addition, it's something inherent to this type of CVT. All ratcheting CVTs unavoidably do this, sometimes it's a convenient feature, sometimes it's not.

  11. I run methanol in my dragster. I've gone faster since switching from gas to methanol than I ever did running gas. I've tried to explain this to many people and they simply don't understand. This is one of the best explanations of how this works that I've seen. Bravo!

  12. The best description of how a jet fan works that I have ever heard
    747
  13. Yes modern technology is great, but explaining this to us is awesome ❤
    736
  14. Flying 4 Answers!!! I'm here for it :D

  15. I’m a big fan of rotary engines and the Liquid Piston engine intrigues me for being a clever way of putting the Atkinson cycle into practice but I agree with you, it still needs improvements to become something that is universally better than the piston engine.

  16. As a retired engineer /professor; I can surely say that this gentleman gives beautiful explanations of rather complex issues. Well done!
    717
  17. I never understand exactly what I like the most in this channel... Now I realized - it is the philosophical background! "Humanity uses technologies to make problems instead of solving problems..." - well spotted!
    716
  18. "Nut positioning, and how it impacts the longevity of your rubber products." Excellent choice of words.
    713
  19. Another fantastic and simple explanation. Once again you prove how knowledgeable you are. “If you can’t explain it in easy to understand terms, you don’t understand what you are talking about”. Well done!!!
    706
  20. I don't know what motivates you to make these videos, but I hope you never lose it. As a fellow gearhead, it's sometimes challenging to explain to a non-gearhead why things are designed the way they are, but you do it so simply and eloquent, I've often referred others to your videos instead of trying to explain it myself. In fact, I watch your videos with my 8 and 9 year old son's all the time so they understand better how things are built. Your videos are invaluable and I sincerely appreciate your effort

  21. Now this is supreme education. Should be taught in physics
    694
  22. You know that if driving 4 answers uploads a video titled "The Ultimate Guide" it's actually going to be a comprehensive guide
    691
  23. Owned an Alfa for many years. One day while washing it I realised the serpent wasn't blowing flames as I thought but was eating a man. Looking back on service costs and unexpected failures I think that was a fitting motif.
    682
  24. Without this video out there I would had bought a car, turboed it and ran forged pistons. Just to daily it, I'll pass. You are helping a lot people in their future builds. Thank you!
    666
  25. My brain hurts...but I fucking love this...I haven't seen any other videos that goes this deep in detail about one of the most iconic engines ever made...Thank U D4A <3
    663
  26. As a fortnine viewer, this should be interesting. EDIT: The respect you show to him as a viewer and also a creator in a similar space is NOT TO BE UNDERMINED. Its so different than just going at each others throats. You two are awesome!
    660
  27. Just when I thought your content couldn’t get any better, you unleash the love of my automotive life!
    641
  28. I am studying engineering but this video taught me a lot more than my college, thanks bro

  29. Refreshing to see someone not talking smack about the EJ platform, great video.

  30. I was a motor mechanic in the 1960's, early 70's then moved into the aviation industry so I missed the whole shift from simple mechanical linkage operation to electronic sensors, ECU's and actuators. I'm retired now and have just started working on my own cars again, upgraded my tool kit, bought an OBDII scanner, and am re-training myself to understand the tangle of pipes, tubes, sensors and wires that are under the bonnet of modern cars. This video was really helpful and clarified a few things I was unsure about.
    606
  31. Ah yes, starter - the forbidden EV motor :D
    599
  32. i needed this video so much, nobody explains engines better than you on youtube, many thanks :D
    581
  33. It's so great to listen to a complex and accurate engineering video like this instead of yet another simplistic, poorly researched and poorly written attempt at explaining something simple to begin with done by others. You will always have my attention with every video you release. Thank you for exercising my brain instead of putting me to sleep like so many others! A++++ for you, sir!
    579
  34. I like how he explains primary and secondary balances in every video where it needs to be explained, unlike other youtubers who just ask you to watch the other video where they explained that concept.
    566
  35. I love how this video gets straight to the point. Doesn't have a long intro or some history lesson to artificially make the video longer. It's perfect.
    562
  36. As a civil engineer that started out as a mechanical engineer. This guy is phenomenal. His explanations are so engineer processed. Thorough through, and through, step by step, and still technical but not confusing. To me it’s like intellectual crack for my brain.
    553
  37. Never forget your Roots.
    553
  38. picture that, i interrupted a political video to watch this as soon as i noticed the notification
    548
  39. This guy doesn't know how much his video has open my mind to automotive engineering....my biggest thanks to you mate
    546
  40. I was shocked watching 5 minutes into the video how excellent it is explained and demonstrated verbally + visually and I have NEVER experienced learning about engines like this before in my entire life!
    545
  41. I love this channel, the only one where things are explained calmy, in detail but without boring you like some channels do. Please, as you're growing, do not change!
    531
  42. This video is not about cars. this is about life. Sustainability is yours, mine and our governments choice! Well done sir!!
    530
  43. Man every one of your videos gets cleaner and more polished, I've really enjoyed watching the channel grow over time. You present very technical subjects in an interesting way. Thank you for sharing!
    526
  44. "Extremely accurate computer controlled process." Mustache man push button.
    526
  45. Nice! Two of my favorite youtubers in constructive and respectful debate! This is so insanely wholesome compared to the usual primitive beef amongst communities. My inner scientist is happy
    518
  46. I saw the news about the patent when it was published and I just knew you were going to make a in depth video. Great job

  47. I work at a company that manufactures suspension for almost anything from snowmobiles and boat seats to prototype racing like F1 and WEC. This was a really good explanation! My goto basic explanation about what a shock absorber actually does is that it converts kinetic energy into heat. However, when it comes to actually setting up the suspension for a vehicle, the rabbit hole is very deep. How do you want it to handle slow vs fast bumps. Do you want harder or softer compression and/or rebound? Do you want a regressive or progressive damping? Top out springs, bump rubbers, valves with or without adjustments and much more. There are so many variables to consider. You can go well beyond university levels of knowledge and still not know everything.

  48. "Things tend to not exist and not be used.... before they are.... existing... and used...." This is the kind of wisdom that brings me back to d4a, thank you 😂

  49. you never see bikes parked in front of therapist offices!

  50. Looks like it could drop into a Subaru :D
