Great video, shows how important a cooling system is for an ICE vehicle. One small thing was a bit annoying. Hot coolant returns to the radiator from the top and cooled coolant returns to the engine from the bottom. Also another little tid bit of info, the energy that a conventional fan consumes just so you don't overheat is approx 40 gallons of gas per year.

One thing not addressed here is that water is a much more efficient conductor of heat than a solution of water and anything else. The solution has to over come that inefficiency to be a better solution as well. Just getting the air out of a solution is a great help. Much less chance of bubbles forming in a closed system.

ugh, the way an engine works is possibly one off the most explained things. it's part off why i dislike cars in general. as a kid i just saw and read way the hell to much about this banal information.

lol first 30 seconds, wrong! that would be true if it wasn't for an ecu but i'f you're going to call it the chemistry of cars then you may want to look into cars post 2002.

yeah none of that was really much to do with how cars work and the genius behind the engine itself. quite insightful about anti-freeze though.

Hello Ted Ed, i have a question, if the cars that are in southern hemisphere that means the cars no need to the solution so can use water right?

I would have thought that the natural convection current should go in the other direction? Feel free to correct me if I am wrong here.

So inefficient, hopefully this dinosaur of a technology will be obsolete in the next few decades and replaced with electricity

Water at a high pressure has a lower boiling point. This occurred when Peter Scripol tried to make a steam powered nerf blaster.
