Hey, I am Jozef and I am a teacher at a technical school in Belgium. I teach 18 year old students who follow CNC. In recent years we have already built many petrol and air engines, including a 5-cylinder radial engine 50 cc on petrol. I've always wanted to make a rotating radial motor, but I can't get any drawings. Now I think your motor is beautiful today and my question is whether you still have the plans for this and you could send it to me so that I can again make a wonderful exercise this year with my 8 students. You would do a great service to me and my students. With best regards Joseph. vasjo@telenet.be Here some videos of what we have already made. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hSUxxFpPnk8.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RObdsDc7Vyc.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QSrYBkfETl4.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qphG1yHUXnE.html
This is called a rotary engine. It's confusing because of course it's still a radial structure. Just happens that the convention has stuck, with radials having stationary cylinders and rotating crank. A true rotary engine is not reciprocating and there are a few of those, but only one successful internal combustion rotary, the Wankel. Great engines too, loved it in my old Mazda.
I know this is an old posting. Wondering if you can direct me for plans on your design. I don't quite understand how the steam feeds and vents on each stroke.
26 ORHAN 26 Yes I do, in fact I know three different types of rotary engines for example a Wankel rotary, Doyle rotary, & a Hale rotary, all three different from one of each other but are still rotaries. A radial engine, is neither the rotaries I've mention nor is the rotary the video stated it is.
I like the design, and how the main feed line was connected to the back of the engine. I was most impressed by how quiet the engine was in operation, and this got me to thinking such an engine would make a great fan motor or low wattage generator in places where electricity was difficult to come by, but steam or compressed air was commonplace. ha machining work is kind of "Beautiful" in itself. I'm the type of draftsman who'd consider the crankcase alone a "Work of art."
music is hideous, please narrate or use ambient sound track only ! People are here to view the content only ! your music preferences will appeal to some and irritate others, like myself, but the bottom line is you made the video to show your project and the viewers are here because of your project, ( based on its title ) NOT TO LISTEN TO YOUR musical preferences...
So is this a radio or a rotary engine? The way the whole thing spins it is a rotary engine. I do not understand how this team is making its spin the I did not see anything about a valve train and
So I guess the only difference between a rotary and radial engine is whether the crankcase or the crankshaft is connected to the load and I suppose some differences in the lubrication system as required by whether or not the crankcase is spinning
Would it be possible to power a saw with something like that? As there is a radial motion which in case there is enough torque might be transferable into an axle to a saw blade or or belt, maybe even sander/grinder options. How much power could you generate with self made machines like this?
Congratulations on a most excellently executed engine. It most assuredly is a thing of beauty . I notice you have labeled yourself The Engine Maker. From the level of craftsmanship it is quite evident that you are knowledgeable about engines. I have been trying unsuccessfully to obtain information which would enable me to build a valveless engine of either single cylinder or twin cylinder configuration. Would you be able to help me out with references which would provide the required information. Thank you and congratulations again
I don't think any radial produced that amount of horsepower. The biggest most sophisticated radials with double banks of 16/32 cylinders, supercharging and displacements of 70 litres had a power of 3500 plus HP. I think you added a '1'. Of course you want insane...check the equivalent horse power of a Saturn V F1 engine...1,500,000 HP - and there were 5 of them.
Rafael, I think where you found the information from is false, the biggest and most powerful radial engine produces about 3,500 HP so ya learn your engines ;(
