Impressive work. I have been working a 3D printed steam engine. What I recommend is to line cylinders with metal pipe. I used copper plumbing pipe. This with an oring makes a perfect seal and you arent relying on the tolerance of the printed parts to seal. It would be good to see the engine internals in more detail.
Im wanting to get a good 3d printer to make detailed functional parts for engines such as these and impellers and other engines, while also wanting to print with foaming pla to make aviation components. What is a budget printer that could produce similar or at least functional results or what would you recommend if i should save up for something more?
The Bambulabs P1S is the best value printer for functional parts. if you want something less expensive, get the P1P (it is a stripped down version of the P1S and can be fitted with the enclosure kit upgrading it making it a P1S) The P1S would be perfectly capable of printing all of the parts for this engine (P1P could print it in pla but the components would warp more becasue it is not enclosed) thease printers are also reliable and work streight out of the box.
Would you say the difference beetween the p1s and the x1c is enough to get the x1c or can the p1s be tweaked or maintained to run as good?@@PolyProject3D
Very impressive. I like the design; it looks great, and if the rotary valves do not leak, it might just be somewhat efficient. I've seen Tom do long runs on very low pressures. My engines give a lot of power but do not rev that high. (I have radial 3 cylinders, singles, boxers, 4 or 5 cylinder inlines, and a V8). This might also be the propeller attached; I've not revved them without a load, especially because high RPM kills engines. Using rubber piston rings is a good idea, especially if you use a cylinder sleeve, but tolerances are very small. I've not had any success with them. My tip would be to use bearings everywhere. You can split the crank and link them inside the bearing. You still need oil, though, as lubrication and as a sealant. For a high-revving engine, you could try a twin crank design like Rupert Baindl has done with a diesel. This has several advantages, but you need very small tolerances or find another solution to prevent piston rocking. I hope to see more :)
I understand keeping a 2 to 1 ratio on the camshafts to keep a true 4 stroke design, but being your using compressed air, a 1 to 1 ratio would put air pressure on the piston on every down stroke instead of every other like with a 2 stroke engine, would use more air of course but would also make more power. just a thought. also those 3d prints look exceptional, what printer you use?
with an inline engine you could do an offset cylinder to the crank. since the piston only sees pressure on the power stroke you should be able to get away with more offset than a 4 cycle engine and have greater efficiency & power gains :D
Love the detail and work put in, though the definition is incorrect, there are 'motors', not 'engines'. Part of what makes an 'engine', is a transformation, usually through burning or explosion, of the source of it's power.
Thanks, at the moment I use a bike pump and my system for opening and closing off the engines access to the supply causes a lot of loss in between filling the supply and connecting it to the engine. especially at higher pressures
@@PolyProject3D Ah that sucks, you could look for a second had compressor maybe, i bought one for 50 euros, its so much more convenient than a bike pump.
@@christanvandijk5106 the bike pump it’s great but to run the engines at higher pressures, I need to fit or make some kind of high flow valve that I can use to minimise loss between filling the supply and connecting it to the engine
*isn’t great lol, the original goal of my engine design was to make an engine that can run at pressures under 10 psi witch the inline4’s can run at so for those purposes I never intended to test over 20 psi
@@PolyProject3D Can't you keep the bike pump connected? A shrader to 1/8" valve from a central heating expansion vessel can be pretty useful to make pressure supplying vessels. But a compressor is the way to go.
Someone needs to get this boy a decent air compressor!
Such awesome designs and 3D prints!
Airhogs on steroids!
Someone needs to get him a cnc machine
I really want to see how you made your valves.
Just a guess, he could be using a rotary valve.
@@3dprintwiz378 that is a very plausible guess, it seems as though he doesnt have any more room for any other type of valves
Outstanding Work my guy! This is crazy work, well made.
Thanks!
The internet will never cease to amaze me. Great job. Your channel is awesome.
Wow, I love your engines, i think you have a lot of potential. keep it up buddy!
Thank you, will do!
I'd love to see the internals of the head and valve train.
7L per second! That thing needs a huge compressor to keep up with it. Thats amazing work!
or just a pressure vessel to store more compressed air
This is incredible. You put tom stanton to shame. Would you ever post the cad files somewhere?
Thanks! at some point I might post CAD files but I cant say a definite date at the moment

Glad to know that you designed the engine with Lego in mind👍👍
Really cool! I'd love to see how these are built. My biggest issue has been the valve train
Thanks Hayden, I have my own design for the Valve systems in these engines and at some point I will make a video about it.
@@PolyProject3D how leaky are your engines? It's hard to tell with high cylinder count since one is almost always firing. I'd be interested in that!
@@hayden3928 without going into too much detail, the valve system is inherently leaky and uses the "leakage" to improve its performance.
@@PolyProject3D ah. Interesting. I look forward to seeing it! I always prioritize efficiency, but that's just because of my ultimate goal
That thing is a beast. Nice work
another great design. it would be nice though to see more of the creation process instead of just showing us the end result.
Where do you sell projects to print?
What? Where you get this knowledge? One guy building such amazing projects!
u ever tried powder graphite as lubricant ?
Great engine and design. Mr Bigglesworth's not bad either.
Thats impressive ... especially with printed parts.. Cheers :)

As my video is pause right with your bambu lab on the desk... *face palms*
wait, i didn't follow, what fuels does it use, how long can it last and how tf 3d printed engine sound kinda fun????
What software did you use to model and animate then engine?
Would be great to see same tests made with a rotary wngine and its variants, the omega engine and the inverted rotary
How to make high pressure compressor for water? Can you help
Will you ever post the files online
I'd love a more detailed build video

can you build a positive displacement pump/engine?
Nice design, Make a little gasoline powered model
Would you consider selling the stl files?
Nice Bro.
Keep it up.
Does this run off of gasoline
Could I print. One on my own?
How does the valve work tho
Thats totally crazy
Do u sell these? Do u do custom engines?
how can i make one ? (I want to make a rc car with pressurized air bottle and this engine)
Can these run
