Choose one of Phoenix, Kuma, Courbet, Dante Alighieri, Wakeful 6 skilled points commander I hope you enjoy my compilation of crazy Lego Pneumatic engines. If you want to build your own engine you can find individual Lego Parts on bricklink.com. To make engines like the ones in the video, you need modified Lego Pneumatic parts. You can buy them here: www.greengeckoworkshop.com/ or modify them yourself. Check out the GreenGeckoWorkshop KZfaq Channel for modification instructions, or get an engine kit with ready made parts and building instructions. A compressor is required to run these engines. I use a silent Implotex Airbrush compressor: surl.li/gjyvq, but even a bicycle pump with a soda bottle as air tank works well enough for smaller engines.

Something these model engines show really well is how the rotation of an engine isn't constant in it's speed; the crank rotates faster when the crank is at 90degrees to the connecting rod, and slowest when it's perfectly in line with the connecting rod. That's why heavy flywheels are used in a lot of 4 cylinder engines, and why engines with more than 4 cylinders are so smooth.

Not if each piston is offset by 90°.

I tried making lego pneumatic engines when I was much younger, the old single acting cylinders moved much easier and so did the switches although the switches were still too stiff really (also theyre off in the middle). I like the pinched tube idea, Id like to see more of that.

The 120⁰ for the Inline-3 and V6 was easy (albeit still very clever), but the Inline-5... You made a custom 72⁰ component.

now that you've got an ender 5, you should try to print some shorter crankshaft pieces to get a stroke length shorter than 3 bricks. I would love to see what kind of speed you can get with a shorter stroke length. Those pistons seem to have some decent power; I could imagine maybe a stroke length as low as one brick could work.

Hi! I'm vrey happy to see these experiments with the air engines! Especially the firing order one! Question: Do you plan on using flat-plane crankshafts for your four/eight cylinder engines? You're using cross-plane ones now (90 degrees between each pin, while flat would be 180, basically the two outer pins being on one side, the two inner ones on the other). Flat-plane cranks are used in most 4 and 8 cylinder engines, the exceptions being some sports bikes, which still use cross-plane.

I understand if the point of this is purely educational but since they're both available as LEGO building/engineering techniques it would be nice to see how these arduously-produced stack up to premade motors (drive sources) in terms of ... torque, I guess?

Something I’ve always wondered, does the orientation of the pistons matter? Like, does an in-line 6 vs a v6, vs a flat 6 make a difference beyond how compact it is overall, or is there a significant differences impact on torque, reliability, etc? Might make for an interesting video comparing them?

It indeed does. Inline 6 engines are notoriously more reliable and smoother because of less vibration and wear, flat sixes rev higher for whatever reason and v6s are cheap

The demonstration of the V8 was really cool, fancy how the angle of the cylinders relative to each other can make such a huge difference. The way you showed proper firing order of cylinders was also really neat and easy to understand. I do still wonder about 1-stroke vs 2-stroke engines: it seems 1-stroke is more reliable, so why is 2-stroke even a thing? Easier/cheaper to build?

@HB45175 Жыл бұрын

Actual one-stroke engines do not exist because they cannot complete the combustion cycle in just one stroke, you need at least two strokes. As for why we have four-stroke engines, because of emissions basically. The biggest engines in the world (those on cargo ships) are two-stroke, because two-stroke are more efficient in terms of raw power over four-stroke. Also racing bikes (those that do not have to comply with emissions standards) are two-stroke for the same reason.
