Thanks to our Partner, NAPA Autotech TrainingIn this technical deep-dive, Matt Fanslow tackles the misconceptions surrounding Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) in modern engines. Far from just a NOx-reduction tool, EGR plays a critical role in thermal efficiency, throttling losses, and combustion control. Matt dismantles common myths (like "lean burns hotter") and explains why engineers use EGR—even as technology evolves.Key Topics CoveredEGR's Real PurposeBeyond NOx reduction: How inert exhaust gases slow flame fronts, improve thermal efficiency, and reduce throttling losses.Why lean air/fuel ratios don't burn hotter—but can still cook exhaust valves.Throttling Losses & EfficiencyHow EGR allows wider throttle openings, reducing engine workload and boosting fuel economy.The link between EGR, Atkinson/Miller cycles, and extended combustion push.Internal EGR & Valve TimingModern engines use cam phasing to trap exhaust gases, creating insulating "pockets" that reduce heat loss to cylinder walls.SAE paper highlights: HCCI engines, controlled auto-ignition, and residual gas effects.Why This Matters for TechniciansUnderstanding EGR helps diagnose drivability issues, software updates, and emission failures.Matt's rabbit-hole warning: Complexity is growing, but so are diagnostic opportunities.Notable Quotes"Lean air/fuel ratios burn longer, not hotter—that's why exhaust valves fry.""EGR isn't just about emissions; it's about making the engine work smarter, not harder.""The more you know why engineers do something, the better you'll diagnose it."Resources & ReferencesSAE Papers (Available at sae.org):Lean Burn SI Engines: NOx Control via Air/Fuel Ratio Modulation (2017)Impact of Valve Timing on Cold Start Emissions in GDI Engines (2019)Effects of Valve Timing on Residual Gas, Combustion, and Heat Transfer (2009)Thanks to our Partner, NAPA Autotech TrainingNAPA Autotech's team of ASE Master Certified Instructors are conducting over 1,200 classes covering 28 automotive topics.

This value has evolved over the last year as it became clear that we were very good at caring for our patients... but we were NOT caring for each other as team members. This led me to implement principles from the Disney Institute to help our staff support each other while still giving incredible patient care. This also required a shift in focus from purely monetary goals to prioritizing a positive team environment. As we've implemented these changes, there is a night and day difference in attitudes and energy in our practice!

The "Skateboard Effect" Has Finally Come for Your Combustion Engine

Ford's Vice Chair John Lawler recently dropped a bombshell that's sent ripples through the automotive world: combustion engines will no longer be brand differentiators and automakers will increasingly source them from suppliers to stay competitive against low-cost rivals, particularly from China.For generations, car manufacturers have built their identities around their signature powertrains – Ford's EcoBoost, Chrysler's HEMI, Chevy's small-block V8s – engines that enthusiasts could identify by sound alone. But according to Lawler, "consumers don't really think about powertrains the way they did 30 years ago." The shift toward hybridization has already begun stripping away the unique characteristics of combustion engines as electric motors increasingly provide power boosts and emission reductions.We dubbed this the "skateboard effect" – the standardization that began with electric vehicles is now creeping into traditional combustion engine territory. This raises profound questions about brand identity, warranties, and consumer choice. If Ford, Chevy, and Ram all use identical engines from the same supplier, how will they differentiate their trucks beyond cosmetics and features? What happens when an outsourced engine faces recalls – will we see industry-wide disruptions similar to the Takata airbag crisis? And perhaps most importantly, what does this mean for performance vehicle segments and enthusiast markets that have thrived on distinctive powertrains?This philosophical shift signals how dramatically electrification has changed the industry's trajectory, even for traditional combustion vehicles. While average consumers might not notice the difference, this potential outsourcing strategy represents perhaps the most fundamental change to how cars are designed, built, and marketed since the mass production of the automobile began. Join us as we explore what this means for the future of automotive enthusiasm and brand loyalty in an increasingly homogenized market.Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Ron Bienvenu joins us for a very intriguing chat about his philosophy and latest book  "The Fifth Shock - Human Agency in the Post Biological Age of the Stack".   We talk about his tangles in tech and Wall Street going back to the early 00's, his first book The Fourth Shock, asynchronous data, Big data, ai, block chain, The Stack, examples like Northern Telecom collapse, network supremacy, universal behavioural income, monetizing personal data, economic theories, taxes and money printing, capitalism, the Node State, and the LA machine version of beauty.   In the second half we get into King Trump of North America, meeting Trump, stick in the eye, people need to rise up, non violent revolutions, the Ptolemaic system, The Catholic Church and papacy, Copernicus, the Rise of Homo Noeticus, the scale example, more on the The Stack, TLC, pain and suffering, Making Love and Atlas Shrugged.   Philosopher, entrepreneur, and digital futurist exploring the collision between technology, ethics, and human identity.   The Fifth Shock is not just a book—it's a revelation. It proposes that we are living through a civilizational mutation more profound than the Agricultural or Industrial Revolutions. I call this mutation “The Stack”—a digital, planetary infrastructure that is reshaping reality, identity, economics, even death itself. But unlike previous shocks in history, this one targets the soul.   The book traces five evolutionary engines—Agriculture, Combustion, Electrification, Digitization, and now the Stack. Each turned the human being into something new. The Stack, however, does not just change what we do—it changes what we are. Surveillance, algorithmic prediction, biometric data mining, and behavioral finance are no longer science fiction—they are infrastructure. They are the new gods. https://x.com/TheFifthShock   https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F53Q4K8W?ref=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cp_ud_dp_Z2VJTF6SCWT6H5473B9N&ref_=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cp_ud_dp_Z2VJTF6SCWT6H5473B9N&social_share=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cp_ud_dp_Z2VJTF6SCWT6H5473B9N&bestFormat=true&previewDoh=1   To gain access to the second half of show and our Plus feed for audio and podcast please clink the link http://www.grimericaoutlawed.ca/support.   For second half of video (when applicable and audio) go to our Substack and Subscribe. https://grimericaoutlawed.substack.com/ or to our Locals  https://grimericaoutlawed.locals.com/ or Rokfin www.Rokfin.com/Grimerica Patreon https://www.patreon.com/grimericaoutlawed   Support the show directly: https://grimericacbd.com/ CBD / THC Tinctures and Gummies https://grimerica.ca/support-2/ Eh-List Podcast and site: https://eh-list.ca/ Eh-List YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheEh-List Our Adultbrain Audiobook Podcast and Website: www.adultbrain.ca Our Audiobook Youtube Channel:  https://www.youtube.com/@adultbrainaudiobookpublishing/videos Darren's book www.acanadianshame.ca Check out our next trip/conference/meetup - Contact at the Cabin www.contactatthecabin.com Other affiliated shows: www.grimerica.ca The OG Grimerica Show www.Rokfin.com/Grimerica Our channel on free speech Rokfin Join the chat / hangout with a bunch of fellow Grimericans  Https://t.me.grimerica https://www.guilded.gg/chat/b7af7266-771d-427f-978c-872a7962a6c2?messageId=c1e1c7cd-c6e9-4eaf-abc9-e6ec0be89ff3   Leave a review on iTunes and/or Stitcher: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/grimerica-outlawed http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/grimerica-outlawed Sign up for our newsletter http://www.grimerica.ca/news SPAM Graham = and send him your synchronicities, feedback, strange experiences and psychedelic trip reports!! graham@grimerica.com InstaGRAM https://www.instagram.com/the_grimerica_show_podcast/  Purchase swag, with partial proceeds donated to the show www.grimerica.ca/swag Send us a postcard or letter http://www.grimerica.ca/contact/ ART - Napolean Duheme's site http://www.lostbreadcomic.com/  MUSIC Tru Northperception, Felix's Site sirfelix.bandcamp.com

In this informative podcast episode, Bryan from HVAC School is joined by Louise Keller, the National Training Manager for UEI Test Instruments, to discuss the critical importance of carbon monoxide safety and proper combustion analysis. The conversation begins with lighthearted banter about the previous night's Tactical Awards ceremony before diving into the serious topic of CO dangers and detection. Louise shares valuable insights about the dangers of carbon monoxide exposure, particularly at lower levels that might not trigger standard home CO alarms. She explains that CO poisoning can mimic many other conditions, including early-onset Alzheimer's, traumatic brain injury, and mobility issues. Bryan adds historical context by recounting how many Victorian-era "ghost stories" and fainting episodes coincided with the introduction of gas lighting in homes, suggesting these phenomena were likely CO poisoning symptoms. He also shares the little-known story of Walt Disney's parents, who tragically died from carbon monoxide poisoning in a house that Disney built for them. The discussion shifts to practical applications, with Louise explaining the proper use of combustion analyzers and the importance of regular recertification. They emphasize that visual inspection alone is not sufficient for safety, and proper testing is essential for both client safety and equipment efficiency. The conversation concludes with information about UEI's ServicePlus Guaranteed program, which offers extended warranty coverage, same-day recertification turnaround, transparent pricing, and convenient shipping for analyzers. Key Topics Covered: The dangers of carbon monoxide as an odorless, colorless, and tasteless gas How low-level CO exposure can cause serious health issues that mimic other conditions The limitations of standard home CO alarms, which typically won't trigger until reaching 70 PPM for 1-4 hours Proper combustion analyzer startup procedures (starting outside in fresh air) The importance of checking all combustion appliances in a home (furnaces, water heaters, ovens, etc.) Best practices for comprehensive testing, including "appliance sweep tests" Historical context of CO poisoning, including connections to Victorian ghost stories UEI's ServicePlus Guaranteed program for analyzer recertification and warranty extension The importance of regular recertification to ensure accurate readings and maintain warranty coverage Tips for helping clients schedule regular maintenance and safety checks   Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?

Fair warning: this episode contains too much Elon Musk, as Ben and Celestia discuss the Optimus mechanical Turk -- er, autonomous robot -- as well as the awesome chop-stick catch performed by SpaceX this past week. Ben also ruminates on eye-witness testimony and a wacky, weedy case being decided by the Supreme Court right now. Then Brian Dunning of Skeptoid fame joins us to talk electric vehicle myths and reality. Have you heard that EVs are bad for the environment, or that they will crash the grid? There are facts to discuss as well as rumors, disinformation, anecdotes and opinions, and we take care to clearly label which is which.
