The Animated Engine Thread

Big stuff. How about another 3350 startup?
(This oughta get JD750ACE's attention)...

They don't exactly "leap to life" do they?

 

[TwoManyXS1Bs]

You know, it's gettin' to where I feel the same way in the morning.


Here's the Sleeve Valve Engine.

Points ignition animation.

 

[TwoManyXS1Bs]

An interesting "visible" 2-stroke engine.

 

[Nightmare]

I want that visible 2 stroke, or I may machine my own.

 

[I am Carbon]

this isnt animated but it is cool home made 44cc V8 engine

worlds smallest V12 better video

 

[aldo5468]

I could watch that every day!

TWOMANY you forgot one ELECTRIC MOTORS...... I seen a small motor pushing 150 rear wheel HP
GET TO WORK FIND SOME HAHA

 

[TwoManyXS1Bs]

Uh, ok. Let's start small, like nanotechnology motors:

Cool list of unusual engines

*Whew*, Kinda lost myself in there. Thanx for that link, Josh...

 

[goodgollyjosh]

Would like to see the manual for timing a Bristol sleeve valve engine....

 

[goodgollyjosh]

I would think it would have to be titanium but still cool

 

[TwoManyXS1Bs]

That's cool. I invented (on paper) a VCR conrod about 20 years ago. Hydraulic, dynamic/demand adjustability (within a couple strokes), much fewer parts. The concept was simple, figured that others would be exploring this too. But, nothing. Until now...

 

[goodgollyjosh]

That would be a great paper for this thread! Still have it?

 

[TwoManyXS1Bs]

Oh, yeah. It's buried out there with a bunch of other 'blue sky' ideas. I was kinda holding this one close to my chest. But, it's based loosely on crane cams 'variable valve timing lifters' of 30 years ago. The key is the pressure-sensing leakage and pump-up valving. It was partly the impetus behind this simulator, which is primarily focused on wristpin loads:

The problem is having ideas coming faster than the wrench can spin...

 

[goodgollyjosh]

With all those ideas in your head I'm shocked you never asked your old man to get you a job out here... you're a sharp cookie!

 

[goodgollyjosh]

Oh, and here is where I found the info on the VCR con rod...

Thanx, Josh. Dear 'ol dad passed in 1975, that's also when Norman wanted me in the nuclear NDT labs.

I was just now looking at that recent Porsche variable conrod patent.
