And the first thing i thought when seeing this: and thats why electric motor is the future.
Mazda, whose Z5 engine is being disassembled in the video is introducing a compression ignition gasoline engine in 2019 with claimed 20-30% efficiency benefits! We'll see how that actually holds up in practice.
I don't mean to underplay the work involved in programming and marketing this project, but just not giving up is perhaps the hardest part of things like this.
nice ad. however, the tech side doesn't seem to have received as much love. #1 PayPal returned me to an invalid URL after finishing the payment #2 I've paid & logged in, nevertheless the website still shows me links to "buy the course".
Sorry to hear this - when you say the website shows you links, do you mean the app? There is a bug that I'm aware of that is pending submission for approval to Apple. I will check the Paypal return right now. Feel free to email me - info@howacarworks.com but I'll find your order and get onto you right now.
As a hearing-impaired person, I just wanted to thank you for clearly mentioning that it's subtitled. That shows it's more than just an afterthought, and seals the deal for me!
I don't understand why everyone wouldn't subtitle their content. I used rev.com and it costs $1 per minute and the results are great. So to subtitle three hours cost $240. With many non-native English speakers as customers it is a no-brainer. It's good to hear this too, because the text in that box originally said 'Filmed in 4K' and I only changed it to 'Fully subtitled' at the last moment.
Really nice work! I did have a slight giggle when the promo at the end says you explain everything about 'modern cars', while you are working on a car introduced 27 years ago. Of course I understand that disassembling a new car does not make financial sense, I'm not trying to be negative here.
Wonderful! How did you make those flying parts? Photoshopping out the holders?
Very cool. It's amazing how complex the combustion engine seems, especially compared to an electric motor. No wonder cars have a limited lifetime of typically some 150-200k miles. It's going to be really interesting to our purchasing and maintenance patterns for EVs.
Kudos for sticking with this project, which has not made you a ton of money overnight, since at least 2012. I don't mean to underplay the work involved in programming and marketing this project, but just not giving up is perhaps the hardest part of things like this.
