How Does a Diesel Engine Work Differently from a Gasoline Engine?
This video explains the fundamental mechanical differences between gasoline and diesel engines. While both rely on a four-stroke internal combustion cycle (Intake, Compression, Combustion, Exhaust), diesel engines operate at much higher compression ratios and ignite fuel using intense heat from compressed air alone rather than a spark plug. This design yields significantly higher torque and fuel efficiency at the cost of added weight and a lower engine RPM range.
