Radial Engine Assembly Animation 

Hi Mike Thanks so much for your positive comment I’m glad you liked it and subscribed :)

Thanks mate, and thanks for the general comments about radial engines - great summary My description regarding application is focused on the Rotec R2800 and Rotec Aerosport current market.

No worries Larry and thanks for you message, glad it helped

Thanks Chal Chac, and yes it is terrible to think how many of these magnificent machines were destroyed

Thanks Michael :) that is super positive feedback and made my day! I will let you know if I ever animate grass growing haha but I do have a pretty awesome Tattoo Machine animation being released soon..probs about a week to launch!

No worries thanks Eli

Thanks Shawn :)

Yeah man, it’s crazy to think this was designed and manufactured in the olden days for wiithout 3D technology

Thanks mate, I tried :-)

Thanks mate :) I am a Product Design Engineer based in Melbourne Australia

Thank you Peter :)

That's a radial engine. For rotary engine, do a search for "Wankel engine."

@@jayphilipwilliamsalso wrong

Thanks so much Severino :)

Thank you!

Thanks Keiaos I am glad to hear that you found it helpful :) Feel free to share it with you A&P buddies and it might help them as well!

Thank you! Cheers!

Thank you Gern :)

Thanks Mark, I am really glad you enjoyed my video and appreciate the work :)

Thanks mate :)

Thanks mate! 😀

Thanks mate, and yes I have put countless hours into this animation so I am glad you and many others are enjoying my work :) I completely agree that sectioning the model to show the internal workings would be incredible and it would be awesome to use in VR. Feel free to contact me on www.dancabraldesign.com for any project related work

Thank you 🙂😁 I Google translated: “congratulations without a doubt one of the 3d jobs I've seen”

Hi John, thanks for your kind comments :)

Cheers Jack! I'm glad you enjoyed it and yes it did take ages and makes me miss the lego days haha

Thanks mate :-)

Thank you

Thanks so much man! I’m glad that you liked it 😁😁😁

Thanks Matt, I'm glad you appreciate it

Thanks Tim :)

Thanks Mark

@@DanCabralDesign I have been flying several warbirds with various P&W , Wright and Jacobs engines for more than a decade and only now really “ get” the engine .. thank you 🙏

R2800 Rotec Radial Engine Thanks mate

Thanks Mike! You can see my static renders www.dancabraldesign.com/radial-engine-renderings

Thanks Andina I am glad you liked it :) This is my most recent project which you might like as well ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Cc3rQZRy2QU.html

Cheers mate 🙂

No thank you. It was mesmerising!

@@somebloke13 I appreciate it man :-) You can see more of my work at www.DanCabralDesign.com

Thanks Martti I am glad you liked it...I wish I was a Beaver haha

Thanks mate really appreciate it

Thanks man

No worries Chris, thanks for watching

Thanks Pete :)

Thank you :)

Thanks Bob :)

Thanks heaps man I’m glad that this will be a bit of a inspiration for your rotary engine project

Yes Christian you are right, most WW1 aircraft were powered by rotary, but indeed this is one of them and they are currently used predominately in WW1 style aircraft by home-builders and aviation enthusiasts that build WW1 replicas. I like your last statement and can't say you are wrong ;) Some people have described them as a death trap haha! But I know there are many types of lightweight aircraft successfully flying today powered by these Rotec Radials. From my position I am just interested in the design and I am please with my animation of this engine :) I hope you enjoyed the video!

There is quite a bit to it, but hopefully this video is a good reference

This video would help a lot, thanks.

@@KevinWoodsWorkshop no worries mate, good luck and Happy New Year!

Yes that is correct! Thanks for your comment

@@DanCabralDesign That's exactly what I wanted to know

Thanks mate! Yes I will do so when I find the time

Thanks :)

Ha ha thank you David

Hello Tim, thanks for the comment And the planetary reduction is in the model, but not shown in the exploded animation as it is a preassembled subassembly. This model has never actually been purchased, but you can contact me via email to discuss other opportunities at dancabraldesign@gmail.com

Definitely covered in still renders

No worries Senor, thanks for watching and enjoying my work :)

Yeah that’s sounds right

Thanks Messina :)

ur link bought me here... thanks!

Yes this is done in Solidworks, it is Rotec R2800 Radial Engine

@@hogey74 No worries :)

Yes it is unbelievably impressive

yeah thats cool!

Thanks mate, haha it is nice to know someone does! I think it is pretty cool for a RU-vid free track - it is called 'Aviated' Nice name and appropriate ;)

Ok great, I do not show the fuel delivery, but it at 46s you can see the intake manifold and carburetor coupling. Check the Rotec website for more info - www.rotecaerosport.com

Yes I agree, I will hopefully get a chance to do that one day

Thank you :) Yes there are preassembled bronze bushes pressed into both ends of the rods, including a bronze bearing on the crank end of the master rod that mates with the crank

Hi Ian, you will likely need to do this for the Master Rod and only one of the link rods. The animation steps you add will then be able to be copied and applied to the other link rods as they will be identical parts. You are correct, you will need to do a rotational and transnational animation steps simultaneously. Be sure to orient them about the parts coordinates and not the render scene, this way you will be able to copy and apply linked animation steps to the other link rods/piston assemblies

Thank you Matias

Initially exploded in SW, and then rendered in Keyshot

👍 yep

Sorry I only speak English, can you please translate?

You can check my website for some reference drawings

Www.Dancabraldesign.com

Hey mate, try using key shot for rendering

Thank you....I had to google translate :)

It is hard to say as I re-rendered snippets and developed this animation over 18 months. I think the rendering this scene in one go would've taken me a few weeks (on my old CAD Laptop). On my current CAD Machine it would take approx 3-6days.

Thanks Joe...haha I do agree with you. This is a case where design work is much better than the atual product showcased and the reputation.

Thanks Joseph, fair enough I kinda agree. I just selected a free track from YT called Aviated, I liked the name of the track more then the sound haha

Thank you :)
