    If the 2 stroke road racing engine was developed to this level of Engineering sophistication instead of being phased out due to emissions..horsepower would be higher with a much lower engine weight.

      @Retired BoreThe lack of electronic fuel injection (as per Mitsubishi on 4 strokes) and stratified charge did nothing for 2-strokes. Then we all chase after some demented electric or fuel cell goal.

      yes agreed... the pollution boogeyman laws killed the 2 stroke way before it could have been further developed into some kind of UFO technology stupidly simple engine!

      Most all racing programs are supposed to eventually feed improvements in the parent company's general product line. It made sense for the two-strokes for a long time but they just don't carry through for a road-going product. I was an ardent two-stroke fan starting in the late '50s (first bike was a 200cc Zundapp) then got into Bultaco for competition and a street machine. About that time I went to work for a Honda/BSA dealer and as my experience broadened, I began to see that durability and general good manners favored the four-cycle. I've enjoyed both, campaigned Suzuki 250s for years for off-road but the then new four-cycle street Suzukis began to dull the magnificence of the two strokes and I could see the division was favoring the four-cycles for the future.

    The NSU " Steam-train " drive was interesting . I bet it made for some BAD vibration , but was fairly Bulletproof as well .

    • @johncunningham4820
      @johncunningham4820 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @Retired Bore . Gears ARE the Best drive system , and Helical gears are rather quiet actually . Straight cut Howl like a bitch .
      That NSU drive has ONE of the Elements STATIC . Basically just a SPACER .
      The Moving Elements , to be effective , would be best spaced at 90 degrees EXACTLY like a Steam Locomotives drive rods . This will produce an odd Primary AND Secondary vibration that Phases with the Single Cylinder Engines issues with Primary and Secondary Balance . The Cam Drive would run at Half Engine speed and Ergo , the Cam Drive would alternately Supplement and Detract from the Major Engine Vibrations . The Counterweights would not fully damp this .
      I stand by my original statement .

    • @johncunningham4820
      @johncunningham4820 ปีที่แล้ว

      @Retired Bore . It was You that started talking about about 120 degrees , out of context .
      120 degrees is the best separation needed on a Three cylinder Inline Engine . Really 240 degrees in a Four-Stroke triple .
      And 120 degrees is the Ideal Bank separation in a V-6 for perfect primary and secondary balance .
      Since steam cylinders are Double Acting the 120 degrees or 60 degrees would be equally effective . Just likely that 120 was used for balance reasons .
      All those facts are IRRELEVANT .
      We re discussing a Single cylinder Engine , which has no balance to speak of , using a reciprocating drive for the Camshaft . A drive that will be harmonically Phasing with the Primary reciprocating Mass .
      I stand by my original statement yet Again .

      @Retired Bore . Heard it running in the Video . Numbnuts .
      It would not matter about where you set the Cam Rods .
      You just gave Degrees for Effective 180 degrees opposed to the Conrod .
      Next revolution they will be Precisely with the Conrod , since Cam drive is Half Engine speed .
      And the Cam drive plates also move fore and aft at the same Timing rate , thereby exacerbating one stroke and slightly dampening the other .
      A Slower more pronounced shake I would think .
      Still standing by my original statement .
      Singles are Rough . That would have been Rougher .

    The Chater-Lea @ 11.45 could have developed Desmo, given that precise closure is not necessary for valve sealing. But this was not known in the 20s, and was discovered by Mercedes in the 50s. A 2-thou clearance is close enough, cylinder pressure will close the valve automatically.

    Darn. I was hoping to see the MV Augusta four cylinder here. My buddy got a 1976 750 that was too cool! The gearbox internals could be accessed from either side of the bike, and the camshaft drive was through a gear tower between #2 and #3 cylinders. The tower could be removed as a unit and the straight cut gears made an awesome sound, almost like a jet!

    • @pashakdescilly7517
      @pashakdescilly7517 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The MV Agusta is a very interesting example of design. The road bikes of the late '60s to mid '70s were a road version of the '50s race bikes, with shaft drive just like the first 500cc GP bikes of the late'40s which Les Graham raced.
      The main engine casting is a giant housing, with the gearbox inserted from one side. The engine itself is self-contained, with just the very top segment of the cases holding the main bearings. Cylinders are individual castings, with the cam drive being a separate assembly inserted between the middle cylinders. The head is a one-piece casting with cam follower housings carrying the shafts as well.
      This modular arrangement allows the engine to be removed from the cases by undoing a line of nuts holding the crank bearing carrier to the main casting. It is very useful if you have a major engine failure while testing, or for any reason need a fresh engine in a hurry.

    Gear Drive is the only way to go. All of my Hondas have died when the cam chain would break and destroy the engine in spite of routine maintenance and tightening. A cheap and nasty way of driving a valve chain which is why the Japanese use it it works until the second it doesn't and then it destroys your engine.
