How do Boxer engines work? They have a low center of gravity, they win rallys and they power Porsches! This episode of Science Garage compares the squat boxer engine to it’s tall inline 4 cousin. It uses a reciprocating motion to balance pistons and create power! From Subaru STI’s to Porsches, these low lying dynamos have a special place in the hearts of car fans.

Bart teaches us how cars work by blowing stuff up and cutting things in half. It’s a science show for the car lover who’s easily bored. Join Bart as he explains the science behind everything automotive. This is cars down to the atom. This is Science Garage.

Bart doesn't yell. He explains at a higher volume so everyone can understand.

Being in school to become an aircraft mechanic, I've learned boxer engines are extremely prominent in general aviation (Cessna & Piper sized). Almost all small planes use boxers for harmonic balancing, and it makes it easier to pull off and swap cylinders out and rebuild the motors.

“Everyone has flaws... except me. But that’s something that humans say.” This vigorously tickled my tism. Hilarious.

As a vape guy [hits vape] I’m disappointed [blows cloud] in the lack of Subaru references in this video. [hits vape and blows cloud] Yea, they were there [hits vape] but there weren’t enough [blows cloud in face] man.
