Tuner cars are cars that can be easily modified- or tuned. But what does that mean?! When you change something under the hood, your engine has to be tuned to work with it! This Science Garage looks at the history of “tuning,” from what started as delicate mechanical adjustments, to how it exists today- a marriage between the computer tech of of the future and the forced induction and air/fuel mixes that are as old as cars themselves.


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.

Some of our best videos ever are coming out soon, stay tuned so you won't miss a thing!
