With tools that measure, cut, and turn, with accuracy in the tenths of thousandths. There are EDM machines that are accurate to the point, they can split your hair into 25 individual slices. There are videos I recommend on this platform. Just search EDM, and get ready to be amazed.
This sounds awesome but it would sound even BETTER if each cylinder had its own exhaust pipe so we could hear the crackle of each cylinder instead of them sharing one per side (it looked that way from my angle anyway) very nice video
Because the Corvair engine is a hack of the Continental engine used in many airplanes, like Cessnas, but with the second spark plugs and second distributor removed. If you look on the "bottom" side of the heads you may see flat round spots where the extra spark plug holes would have been drilled and tapped.
@@jeffbranch8072the Corvair engine is not a copy of the continentals... There is nothing in common other than air cooled horizontally opposed six. The corvair engine is much more similar to the Porsche engines of the era. All pf which happily rev beyond 6,000rpm to the continentals redline of 2500-2800. The car engines are much higher revving, have better valve trains, are more square, heavier duty blocks, better packaged, etc.
Mutli-cylinder 2-strokes freak me out a bit, I'm always shocked there's no cam and valves and pushrods... but it makes sense, light and simple. You pay for it in fuel efficiency though
put it a turbo for efficiency, reliability? make it diesel ah, yeah, flat six 2 strokes supercharged intercooled fuel injected diesel engine, perfect balanced
On the crankshaft cut off some material from the cranks back side ( bevel ). The flying arm should be a thin disk. Basically, half the flex of an optimized flat crankshaft is due to the weak flying disks. But it gives you back so much stiffness elsewhere. Since you build the shaft, let the bearings sink in!
Btw, it is possible to rotate the banks out of plane and rotate the cranks without the introduction of rocking vibration. Gives us alternating firing of the banks.
Why not do an inline boxer eight ? I'm sure you can find room on the hub for ANOTHER twin hall pickup, the poor hub looks so lonely with only three leads and 6 magnets........🛩
Yeah then you could use it for giant scale models of all sorts of planes that have a flat eight in real life, 2 more cyl's on this and you'd have 400cc. I'm sure it'd be popular for some giant 3D RC Extras, Edge 540, or some scale Cessnas and stuff. An 8-cyl RC 3d model for competition would be sick! At least half scale maybe 3/4... it's bigger than plenty of ultralight engines too
Looks like two sets of 120 degrees, 180 degrees apart. In fact two triples laid horizontally with a big end width offset and the crankshafts have merged!
Awesome engine Maybe DLE will come out with a similar version and show them what quality really is Be careful with those aluminum cylinder bolts they will break after time with expansion and contraction That's the problem with the DA engines Replace them all with steel bolts Before they break and you throw a cylinder off
Four stoke, one cylinder at top of compression stroke, one cylinder at top of exauhst stroke. Unless I'm mistaken, but a four stroke always has two cylinders at the same position but at opposite ends of the 4 stroke cycle.
Best sounding 6 cylinder rc engine ever? No, really no. Best is SAWO 6 cylidnet 4T, try to compare it. Remove this stupid canisters and use mufflers and will hear much better sound, but not as nice as SAWO.
