The Clerget 9B Assembling Movie. Based on a true story about Assembling the Clerget 9B Aero Engine. Manufactured in both France and Britain, it was the main power plant for the Sopwith Camel and many other British aircraft.
Indeed. These engineers designed and built 'master pieces' without computers, CNC etc. Just pencil and paper and perhaps a Faber Castell slide ruler ! Thank you for your compliments and for watching.
Amazing how complex this rotary engine was. The engineering a tooling that went into it was astounding, especially considering the early era of flight.
Indeed ! No computers, just pencil on paper and perhaps a "Faber Castell" slide ruler. Manufactured with the available machinery, tools and skills. No CNC. Thanks for watching !!
A treasure.Pure content with none of the glitz or irritating "improvements" inflicted on us by the fatuous Artiste Wannabees on most production teams these days: no gratuitous slow-panning, no breathless fast-cuts, and the soundtrack was actually listenable in its own right instead of being the seemingly obligatory rap-yap. Yay!
Thanks this was my dream wen I was 16 years old and never had the opportunity then I learned DC auto and mechanic diesel and gasoline and now after 45 years is great to look this video thanks for the people who have the time for this

Excellent rendering, very impressive! I've been a mechanic for over 40 years and after watching the valve train motion I still can't quite wrap my head around the cam ring operation. The man who invented that was surely a genius!
Thanks for your compliments. Regarding the cam operation, you may want to have a look on my web-site www.pjvision.nl There;s some more information. Btw, to my knowledge, the cam ring gears operation came out of the clock makers world. Indeed, very clever !
@@anwarpopi8168 Maybe, but weight was an important issue during the early days of aviation. Rotary engines have no a need for cooling liquid, pipes, water jackets and the radiator. This provides excellent self-cooling, the rotating crankcase/cylinder assembly created its own cooling airflow, even with the aircraft at rest. Because of the rotating mass, no flywheel is needed. They provided and excellent power to weight ratio. 😊
Thank you. The movie tune was based on the bass theme that I came up when I recorded the bluesy/jazz cords progression. Thanks for watching and listening !!
From harvesting ore from the earth, refining into steel, machining steel into unique parts, and finally assemble them all into an engine. So much detail, effort, and precision for a machine that will be targeted to be destroyed. You can tell a lot about a person even more so with militaries by the weapons they use to destroy you.

Quite a few. Pierre Clerget together with his partner Blin started their engineering company, producing rotary engines, as well as the Gnome/Le Rhone Engineering company founded in 1913 by the engineers Louis Seguin and his brother Laurent. In the early days of aviation, engines had to be light, offering an excellent power to weight ration These rotary engines designs provided excellent self-cooling. The rotating crankcase/cylinder assembly created its own cooling airflow, even with the aircraft at rest. No cooling liquid, no pumps nor radiators. Because of the rotating mass, no flywheel was needed. Thanks for your feedback and for watching !!
To use one of the current buzzwords, this video is VERY satisfying. Excellent animation, and even the music was OK, subtle and smooth. Great vid!! I have to amend this comment...each time I re-watch this vid, I am more and more impressed. The animation's parts' actual 'motion' is smooth, and precise. Positions of pieces are logical. The actual 'rendering' (is that the word?, the creation of the images of the pieces) is SO realistic. Texture of the surfaces, shadows, sharpness (threads etc.) great! The text is concise but clear and well-phrased. I was surprised at how 'thin' the carburetors were. I was almost totally unfamiliar with these types of rotating engines, I'd heard of them but never seen one, even an animation, in action.I was literally amazed to watch it rotate, and still find it a little hard to fathom, despite seeing it all laid out. lol All in all, quite an impressive vid.
I am building a metal model of this engine and had no idea where the exhaust came out.... this video helped me learn and appreciate the magnificent engineering that went into it's manufacture. Well Done Sir.
Having always been facinated by engineering and have rebuilt quite few car engines in the past THAT Mr Jensen was THE FINEST annimation I have ever seen. Absoultely enthralling. I know a little about the clerget engine but I learned so much, I could find an old version strip and rebuild it just from watching the video...Dont know what else to say apart from thank you so much for creating and sharing.

This is truly a great piece of CAD work, IMHO! I also think that educational videos like this one are truly educational- on many levels; Allowing countless people to understand the internal workings of engines, that almost certainly, they wouldn't be able to see assembly and disassembly, in any other way.

This animation is incredible...at least I think it is animated. FANTASTIC! Many thanks. I never realized how many parts were inside a rotary engine. Saw a few run and fly at Old Rhinebeck, NY airport many years ago. Watch out for the castor oil. It lubricates the intestines as well as the engine!
Thank you for your compliments and thanks for watching. Regarding the castor oil, I've got my shower standing directly behind the engine. Guess I was lucky, wasn't affected by the "side effects" Look at: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5Y6PsDfeFJ4.html

Very very nicely done tech video! Been around airplanes since about 1953. Dad was in the Air Force and we flew from places like Rio to the U. S. in recip engined planes. I did not fly in a jet till 1967. I worked near a U.S. Air Force base during my career as an engineer at White Sands Missile Range in NM and saw many old recip engined bombers at the Air Show and Family Days at Holloman A. F .B. Your video brings smiles to my face and a song to my heart!
I love ROTARY engines.Been a military aircraft buff since childhood and the ROTARY engine has always fascinated me.Thanks for sharing man,I love this stuff.And the video...awesome and informative.Excellent work brother.
Yes, every part was weighted and balanced. It was however less of a problem since these rotary engines ran at a relative low speed, approx 1200-1500 RPM. Thanks for watching !!
Excelente trabalho! Merecedor de premios de animação e CAD! E a música perfeitamente adequada. Trabalho para ser guardado como um jóia preciosa de explicação, demonstração de funcionamento e montagem!! Parabens à toda equipe de trabalho!!!

Either ran at full throttle or not at all. No part throttle positions, either open or closed. Pilots would have to feather the throttle when taxiing, and when landing. Brilliant piece of engineering and I'm amazed they held up while spinning like that.
The Clerget 9B engines used the (Tampier) bloc-tube carburettor and mixing control unit. Two levers (petrol/air) in the cockpit provided full throttle control.
Yes indeed. All based on the fact that weight was an important issue during the early days of aviation. Rotary engines have no need for cooling liquid, pipes, water jackets, radiator or batteries.

Beautiful Visual & Graphics - Yet all i could wonder was how much precision machining & fabrication went into each of the actual engine components & parts, designed & built in 1916, without the CNC machinery we have nowadays

9.47 million views yet comments are not liked that much. hm... oh btw, the video was awesome, i love easily explained mechanics. radial engines too, interesting
Indeed. it looks like technical oriented people see little value in 'likes', see it as immature, kid stuff. Don't knoe. But, I sure do like your comments !!!!. Thanks for your compliments and for watching
The Clerget 9B was, in fact, a rotary engine. It wasn't a Wankel Engine, which is what is now also known as a rotary engine, but it was a rotary engine nonetheless. The difference between this type of rotary engine and a radial engine is that the radial engine has a fixed cylinder "block" with a rotating crankshaft whereas this engine and similar rotary engines had a stationary crankshaft and the engine itself rotated around the crankshaft

I am lost for words here ! This is just the most interesting and well produced video I have ever seen, the amount of work that must have gone into this gem must have been enormous , I can only say thank you for having the vision to produce this. Unfortunately the morons that insist that the engine does not rotate on a rotary engine will not see this video, they should be forced to watch it, not that their miniscule brains would comprehend what they were seeing ! Very Many Thanks for posting this!
Pierre Jansen: Is the crankcase made from a mild steel billet or a lost wax casting, I thought the cam followers had rollers on them, is this an earlier engine with solid cam followers , or am I thinking of the BR engine ? Chris B.
Bill, as far as I know (and can see) is that the crankcase halves were casted. Don’t know what technique they’ve used in those days. Regarding the cam followers, the Clerget doesn’t need rollers. To see how this works, go to my site ( www.pjvision.nl ) , click on the Clerget tab and next on the Timing Gears animation (right side, 3rd picture from top).
Pierre Jansen: Ahhh , that makes it much more clear, your really excellent animation showing the valve gear function, shows that it is an eccentric movement operating on the cam follower and not the "normal" wiping motion that we see on the BR2 engine, many thanks for directing me to your site,(I will now spend the rest of the morning looking at the contents). Thanks again, Chris B.

As primative as this engine was, it still was machined and assembled with great precision at a time when most roads in America were dirt and cowboys still had a job.
Why Not... those were the days.... However, from the Fly Boys movie I've learned the some cowboys left there jobs and went to France in order to fly (and fight) in aero planes powered by rotary engines.

@@pierrejansen2702 I would give anything to be a fly on the wall back in the turn of the last century to see the processes used to achieve those finished surfaces. Concentric bores, flat smooth parallel stacked assembly items and so on. I am a journeyman machinist/ toolmaker for almost 40 years and understand what close tolerances really mean and what it takes to achieve them. One step above master craftsman.

Awesome - in the old sense of filled me with awe, both of the graphics and the original engineers. But I still can't cope with the fuel entering via the crankcase!
The mixture goes through the hollow crankshaft into the crankcase. During the inlet stroke, the inlet valve being opened, it was sucked into the appropriate cylinder through the induction pipe attached to the inlet valve seat on top of the cylinder (head). Note that the petrol tank was pressurized to assure petrol flow (through the Tampier mixing device) to the carburettor.
Vídeo muito bom e informativo, eu sempre quis saber como funcionava um motor desse, só não imaginava que era tão complexo. Obrigado por nos ensinar, parabéns pelo vídeo!!!
Superbe.. sans calculs ni simulations par ordinateur, pièces réalisées sans fraiseuse numérique, avec des alliages simples, aucun calculateur électronique, aucun capteur de temp pression ou autre, des lubrifiants 'approximatifs' ...que de la mécanique 'simple'. Et ça marchait ! Ces mecs étaient des génies !
Très beau reportage pour ce remontage.... Il fallait une précision incroyable aux machines d'usinage pour obtenir la précision voulue dans les ajustements.... Beau travail.
Vous avez fait un travail exceptionnel, et pour avoir passé ma carrière à monter et faire fonctionner des machines spéciales, j'avoue que de telles vidéos auraient très certainement évité de nombreuses erreurs de conception et d'assemblage.
