I was only thinking that exact thing; when Joel mentioned about tightening the bolts via the holes in the gears by slightly turning the motor over, and Rob unsure what they were going to do? Joel was actually a step ahead everyone.....he was already thinking about how to solve that problem before they got to it! 👍 I kinda think this way when ever I'm working with someone even working on something I'm not an expert at? What I mean is, that Joel has a very good spatial memory and he can visualise everything in 3 dimensions to solve things? Where other people might rely (not saying Rob here I'm generalising) calculations, Joel is picturing everything inside the mind 😉 So taking this all the way back to Joel's beginning, I have to hand it to Rob for hiring a media and camera guy that goes above and beyond his job! Now think about how many other KZfaqrs are out there and all of their media/camera guys? What are the chances of getting someone like Joel? He's literally a 1 in a million..... So that comes down to Rob's discernment during interviewing👌 and that's something I struggle with? So I'm going to say congratulations right here and now and we haven't even heard it run yet, but after watching this video and everyone working together....I have confidence that this is going to all turn out great! 👌 Oh one last thing, congratulation to Tyson on the entire construction of the 12 rotar because he did what 3-4 people did today having had no or minimal rotary experience prior! That's just kind boggling to consider...... And fuck me dead the precision of the E-shafts is just perfection 😲 Can't wait to hear first start!

Rule of thumb with O-rings is if what ever your sealing has pressure in it the O-ring fits tight to the out side if it has a vacuum the O-ring fits tight to the inside. That way the O-ring can't move and deform.

@DaftFader 11 ай бұрын

@@dylanzrim3635 It's actually a really important distinction depending on where there is pressure and where there is vacume specifically and if you are trying to keep pressure in or out, or vacume in or out. That is if you don't want your O rings to collapse when you're trying to keep oil pressure from the open oil pockets behind the steels from getting into your coolant line because you put the O rings on the outside of your coolant seal groove because "pressure = seals on outside" when the pressure isn't coming from inside the line pushing out, it's coming from outside pushing inwards and would crush the seals if put on the outside of the groove as OP sugests, getting oil into the coolant lines. Think about it in the actual application in this engine. 😉

Rob, is the gear spline also 60 teeth? If not, then you have a certain grandularity of adjustment. For example if it had a 60 tooth gear and a 60 tooth spline, then yes you would only be able to clock it by 6 degree increments. However, if it has a 60 tooth gear and a 40 tooth spline, you can clock it by 0.15 degree increments by changing tooth position of both the gear and the spline. The best combination would be a 60 tooth gear with a 59 tooth spline. That way you can clock it by 0.1017 degree increments.

@kasuraga 11 ай бұрын

Yeah, it looked like he was so focused on making the holes line up at TDC on every rotor instead of taking into consideration the fact that with two different spline counts, you have a LOT of adjustment in the gear timing by not caring about the overall position of cosmetic details like those holes. I learned that a LONG time ago that you could do that with gears. Instead of rotating the object you want properly timed and pushing it out of time, you keep rotating the gear till the teeth properly line up with your desired timing.

Well, it's compact compared to the amount of work they put in. Wouldn't be surprised if this video contains 3 full days of work on that engine

ayo it sounds like you guys have upped your audio game even just within the assembling montages, which gets my so very excited to hear thins thing go brr. I know y'all will do the world a solid and get as much high quality audio of this thing as you can. Truly one of a kind opportunity I'm glad you have Joel and the rest of the team there to capture and share it with us all :)

I wonder if he has thought of using a laser from a skil-saw for finding the absolute straightest point over a distance. For the differences and absolute points as needed in this work. I love the work man keep bringing the flaming Doritos!!!

What an absolute monster, I'd argue this is way out of car league. More like a plane engine. Very excited to see it running and produce power, also excited about where this goes. I need to see an oversized custom car based on 7, literally something on sterodis. Good job Rob, taking on this project alone speaks volumes.

wankel rotary was a german bomber engine in ww2.. & decades before that.. they can rev but have fk all torque. a single rotor has same power as a 6 cyl. & fuel consumption.. here in aus, we accidently made the ''hot'', rotoary engine, brup,,brup,,brup,, . mate had an rx3, wore the seals out, pulled it apart, threw it in bin as couldnt get it back together, then he bought the same color lime green, torana slr 5000. both, laid rubber in 3 gears.. ausie.. [ torana lasted longer, cheaper.]

12 rotor motor would be the ultimate test bed for rotary parts, being able to do side by side comparisons on all the different seals and that’s so cool

@baribari600 11 ай бұрын

that's a terrible idea

@gtray7 11 ай бұрын

@@baribari600it’s a good *idea* but not well thought out. The 2 rotors make the best test beds. Easier to test ideas and experiment with materials and configurations. There is a reason why Rob tries things on the 2 and 3 rotors before they show up in the 4 rotor.

@baribari600 11 ай бұрын

@@gtray7 you don't use a one-of-a-kind engine that had to have costs hundreds of thousands of dollars to build (and "days" to assemble) to test $200 apex seals. that's just silly.

No. The heat generated from this engine is not representative of a typical engine.

Umm that's a terrible use case for this engine. Basically everyone in the world starts with the least amount of cylinders if they can. Keep it simple.

@randomdamian 11 ай бұрын

Rob I must really thank you for making such videos, you help me think the right way. I don't have a rotary, just a normal 3 cyl 0.9 Brabus motor, but this helps me to think the right way. i would never thought to put the "glued" section where the intake is for it to be colder. How I said, your videos help to think the right way, because now i will be more aware of how I put also other things into my car.
