This has got to be one of the most detailed explanations of the BRM H16 engine I've ever seen, either in video or print . . . and I've been following F1 racing since the 1960s. In all other publications [either in video or print] I've seen about the H16, the author would simplistically say/write that two 8 cylinder engines were mated together, making the casual viewer/reader come to the conclusion that two of the BRM 1.5 liter V8 engines were bolted together. Myself being a serious gearhead, I never bought into that, as seeing the H16 being a flat-plane crank configuration. I found it annoying that published works of the BRM would gloss over the details of the H16. So, I'm most appreciative of the details presented here about the H16; where I'm also impressed that the depth of the subject also covered the abandoned 4.2 liter Indy project, too.

@ visioracer, I find an engine that I want you to do a story on. Here's an engine that's rarely seen since they were only ever designed to be disposable. This is the 4 cylinder radial engine from a WWII German G7A torpedo. It ran on Decaline fuel (decahydronaphthalene), which was first burned. The combustion byproducts were then passed through a device called a 'wet heater', which also introduced water (from a 57 litre onboard storage tank) to produce superheated steam. This high pressure mixture of superheated steam and compressed air was finally sent through the engine to drive the pistons. Since the internal combustion/steam generator system was self-contained and fuelled by a chemical reaction instead of ambient air, it could run underwater. The 4 cylinder, 'X' type radial engine produced up to 350 horsepower at its maximum power setting, which was enough to push the 26' 6" torpedo along at 44 knots (nearly 50mph) while submerged. Standard Kriegsmarine torpedo produced from 1934 until the end of the war.

@michaellakinloch5371 5 месяцев назад

Thank you; this is most interesting. I knew about the BRM H-16 from when it was introduced, but great to hear about the developent problems and see all the visuals. I think it might be the case that the problem was more in the execution rather than in the concept. BRM was actually a rather small organization and simply did not have the resources to do what was needed for such a complex engine. I think it possible that if it were done today, with more thorough design work, the much more precise engineering available through computer controlled machining of parts, more durable materials, and digital engine management, the theoretical gains from the small pistons enabling faster engine acceleration, shorter length, and functioning as a stress bearing chassis member, could possibly be realized. But no one will ever try it, so we will never know. Oh, by the way, the in-car camera footage, starting at 9:45 and from Zandvoort, shows a car with the words "Jordan Racing" on the side. This was the name used in the film "Grand Prix" for the team portrayed by BRM, and that footage was generated by the film crew, as you noted. The lack of coolant pipes along the chassis reveal that this was not an H-16 powered car, and that was most certainly not Jackie Stewart in the tartan helmet.

That amazing growl at the end is from their prior engine, a 1.5 liter supercharged V-16. It was essentially two 750 liter V8's mated end-to-end and was rated at 550 hp somewhere around 10500 rpm but would keep building power past that, actually peaking somewhere between 12500 and 14000 outputting 600-800 hp. The length and complexity are what drove BRM to aim for the parameters of their H16... by going naturally aspirated they were allowed to double the displacement to 3.0L and - as the video noted - the length of a V16 was a big consideration for adopting the H16 layout. It all comes from a time when the rules seemed to welcome pioneering. By the 80s things had become a lot more... formulaic.

@TenorCantusFirmus 5 месяцев назад

"The weight difference of the BRM H16 and Ford V8 Indy engine was one Jim Clark" - That's all what's needed to be said. If you want to make the others talking about you, go for an H16; but if you want to win, go for the good, old V8. The H16 would have made for a cool concept, but it clearly wasn't a suitable racing engine because it missed the necessary balance between power and lightness.

There are four other non-prototype dual crank H configuration engines. The Napier Sabre H-24, the Napier Dagger, the Brough Superior H-4, and the Konig H-8 boat engine. If these the Sabre is most similar if not in design, in design goals, to the BRM. Except it's even more complicated with sleeve valves. I've always wanted to build a billet block X-16 that uses LS heads. Using fork and blade or articulated rods each opposing bank would be in line with each other.

@michaelgideon8944 5 месяцев назад

@stevenborham1584 5 месяцев назад

Me thinks the fantastic audio is in fact of the BRM V-16 and not the H-16. The H-16 would have sounded exactly like all the other competition V-8 engines owing to the "Long bang" firing order you mentioned. The V-16 of either the BRM V-16 or the Auto union Type C are unique and gloriously rich sounding beasts. I don't know why BRM didn't try X-plane cranks to solve their harmonics issue if they were going to bother with making 8 pin cranks in each deck of the engine block. They were already nearly there by splaying the split pins 45 degrees each, why not go to 90. Then vary each crank by 45 degrees to get the correct firing order again.

Who really cares if this engine was apparently a failure. If we stopped trying there would be no progress.

Unfortunately things move fairly quickly and regulations change frequently hence another reason dropping of the engine . At the end of the day we all now drive around in 16v twin cam engines with rubber cam belts , variable vale timing etc etc which are far more complicated than a basic pushrod/ side valve.

The H engine package really only works well using sleeve valves, using poppet valves leads to an excessively large engine. Tony Rudd came to BRM from Rolls-Royce to design the centrifugal supercharger used in the V16. He would have been well aware of the Rolls-Royce Eagle 22, a sleeve valve H24 inspired by the Napier Sabre . Just to add insult to injury the Cosworth DFV was introduced at the time of the H16, according to sources, Tony Rudd, after seeing the DFV and watching it on track, is reputed as saying "that's it, game over".

@razor1uk610 6 месяцев назад

The engine didn't design of the cranks not rotating opposite directions to each other, didn't help its effective power & torque generation much and likely added somewhat to the unreliability issues with primary and secondary rocking couples compounding together,.. along with it being a prototype engine too. Had the engine been better performing relatively to the competition, and had been followed by further improved iterations of it, it likely a later one would have gotten to a contra-rotating cranks version, perhaps with 2 pairs of (left & right pairings of) idle gears in a square pattern equally between each of the cranks (upper & lower) drive gears. - The 4 idler gears to spread the loading & forces across as much tooth area as possible, while keeping the six gears relatively small and lower in gyroscopic mass before the connection to the final engine output for/to the gearbox. But even so, it is still an engineering marvel & a generator of truly awesome N/A exhaust sounds for its cylinder size(s) & overall capacity.

It was a bad idea from the start given that the open induction stacks on the eight lower cylinders were doomed to breathe in road debris. And all they put on them were some chicken wire.

Yes, there were engines making more than 100hp, but I can't think of any approaching 300hp like they needed in F1. F1 development like this filters down to road cars and production vehicles, that's where we get today's modern combustion engine technology from. A humble 2.0lt family car engine makes around 110kw (150hp), can be started and driven in temperatures below freezing and up to 45°C without special treatment, servicing every 10,000km and uses around 7lt/100 while producing the least possible emissions. This tech all came from F1 and their pursuit of efficiency and power. 🙂👍

Likely they could have saved enough on mass , and very likely get the power they had been seeking. Likely that would had been the most insane stunt in f1 history.

There are no H16 tank engines, never were. Russians use V12 engines.

@Turnipstalkthe only reason why that engine was made is because they needed some tank engines as fast as possible so Chrysler threw some automobile engines together because they were able to do it with existing tooling. The 21 liter 30 cylinder Chrysler A57 multibank engine generates 370hp.

@@purplestrawberrysunset the most common one is the one called "V2" that is indeed a v12 diesel. Russians don't call em H engines. Technically they are right to call em X engines . Armata uses the latest. Simular engine layouts are built , refined , and tested since the mid 1980's in russia , not specificly for tanks. Usually as high power stationary engines, gensets, pumps etc...

@@nagyandras8857well the modern russian tanks use heavily modernized versions of the V-2 engine but they are not x-engines but typical inline configuration v12 diesel engines and the armata's 12H360 which is 12 cylinder x-engine has nothing to do with H16 engine since it's completely different layout and design. I don't know about other x-engines but the one in armata is specifically made for armata.

There was a 36.7 litre H24 aircraft engine called the Napier Sabre in WW2. None of the survivors are able to run, but hopes are high that that situation will change in a few years

BRM shot themselves in the foot with that engine and nailed their own coffin when they didn't need to get so technical and complicated, sheer madness!!.
