Today, May 24th is the official AMT day, wich commemorates Charles Taylor's birthday, the man who actually designed and build the original engine for the Wright brother's flyer, that's why he's considered the very first aircraft mechanic, unfortunatelly not mentioned very often in the history books, neither on this video where they build a replica of his creation.
Did you know that there is an association in the united states that is trying to prove that the wrights flew in the early twentieth century and still have not been successful?
What a fantastic machine. Credit to these guys as well as the Wright Bros. AND Charles Taylor, the original mechanic and builder. I wish I could have seen it up close & in person.
By the time Santos-Dumont staggered into the air, the Wright Brothers had made closed circuit flights of up to 38 minutes in duration, and 24.5 miles length. You can assign all the credit you want to others, but you cannot alter the historical facts.
Nothing solid to prove at the time , and Stantos dummont has the real first officially registered flight , even if the Wright brothers did it before, they do not have any “real” evidence to prove they did it first, besides that, using a slingshot, even a rock can fly

and who told you the wrights proved it? did you know that a magazine or newspaper between 1903-1905 with a flight report and photos was never presented? did you know this detail? did you know thatand who told you the wrights proved it? did you know that a magazine or newspaper between 1903-1905 with a flight report and photos was never presented? did you know this detail? did you know that This detail bothers Americans a lot and that Americans try to prove it somehow and can't prove anything!!!

What a great job these guys did, and they made something that will continue to teach & inspire for generations to come. I just now learned that this engine was an I-over-E design.. not really something you see anymore, but it wasn't at all unusual back when all of this technology was still experimental.
It is amazing that this engine works as well as it does, considering its very simple fuel system- it vaporizes the fuel on a plate inside the intake manifold.
These "soup can" stories usually get started by the same kind of reporters that interviewed this story--reporters that know nothing about which they are supposed to be investigating.
What makes this engine so inovative is the fact that it doesn't use spark plugs & doesn't use a carburetor as most engines at the time & to this day still use. The reason the Wright brothers used this engine design is because of the fact it was light weight due to the lack of parts needed for the engine. The bore & number of cylinders provided enough power to get the flyer off the ground. The reason the first flight didn't last long is because it used a very small amount of fuel so no real flying could be done for long.
C'mon, dude...soup cans? Don't even bring that up. It's obvious by looking at the replica, that no soup cans were involved. Great story. Mr. Lowery and his colleagues did a fantastic job. Beautiful engine, just beautiful.
I remember watching things about building replica plane back after 2000. I believe there were three teams building original as possible engine , just like he said, they had to not do things modern. I also remember something about their engine was supposed to make about 8 horsepower but dyno tests showed it made two or three times that. That's how they got off the ground.
They have a great display (think it's still there) at Dayton Airport on the Wright Brothers original engine. Amazing how hi-tech their engine was, down to the use of alloy Aluminum engine block. Don't believe these stories about 'soup cans', there was a lot of engineering which went into that first aircraft and engines!
Quero ver esse geringonça voando. Eu tenho pesquisado na terneth, e até agora não encontrei nenhuma réplica dos aviões fabricado em 1903 ;pelos irmãos Wright voando. Os aviões do irmãos Wright que vi voar, são de 1908, depois que o Santos Dumont já tinha desenvolvido o 14 bia e o Demoisele.
@@brianamato1078 www.wright-brothers.org/Information_Desk/Just_the_Facts/Engines_&_Props/1903_Engine.htm It's a generator (as you see in the video, all the cylinders are wired in parallel) and it's shorted by contacts in the cylinder and the spark produced by this ignites the fuel mixture. Therefore it doesn't need to be aligned with the flywheel (because the timing is done elsewhere) and the simple friction coupling is sufficient. Must have been easier to make.

14 Bis was not an airplane. All it could do was hop. That's not flight. The Wright Brothers hopped in 1903. In 1906 Dumont made his first hop when the Wright Brothers could fly circles around in the sky and fly for miles and miles. Anybody who thinks Dumont invented flight is a moroon.

There is an old Edison movie of early Wright flight. It shows what they could do which was basically go from down low to up high in the air and stay there. Most everyone one else that claimed to be first went from up high to down on the ground and called it ' flying ' .
How did the right brothers electric engine get altered to gas powered ? Very odd as they had a lightening engine and not a gas engine... The core drives the wheel ... No ... the wheel drives the core ... It’s backwards...
@JeffGR4 the soup can from that era was made with very thick steel. It's plausible. Just like ford when they bought up all the model t's to find out what was too good. Cotter pins ect. then they wigglewagged on there prodution and now make shit cars and trucks for this reason. The cans where of all different dimensions in the pass and I beleive the first experiment used some kind of readily available cyclinder. SOup Can.

it took a modern team 2 years to build this engine, Charles Taylor built the orig, from sketches, in 6 weeks.

Beautifully made! I wonder if the engine sounds the same as the original engine.

What type of fuel used? Similar to what nowadays?
@@pablofalcao1700 nope, know why someone add toxic lead to gasolin?

The "soup can" refers to the air intake can, above the fuel drip onto the Hot Plate vaporizer.
Yeah, maybe the carburetor was made from soup can, but the rest is way more serious than that.

That's how they got off the ground.
I guess you could say they did it *puts on sunglasses* The Wright way.
Lmao
Right on. Good job Tom Nolan
i like the over head cam... very high tech
Combined with automatic intakes ..
It's only overhead cam because it's upside down. It actually is a pushrod Buick type engine
very nice job guys i like that you stayed accurate because it makes a better museum piece!
technology is nice but original style is more real
1871 ... 1883 ... finally the lightening engine is complete...
Dude, seriously? Those are your interview questions?
Give Charlie E Taylor his credit!!!!
Wonderful! Thanks for sharing :)

He just said the block was cast iron
Got that wrong the original and copies are Aluminium. Wonderful design by Charles Taylor he should be more widely known.

is it an inline
You say it runs on fuel ..
I say it’s designed to run on energy too .
Once you wire up the disk correctly..
Why is the magneto wheel not engaged with the flywheel?
I looked it up, it's no "modern" magneto but basically just a generator and the points are inside the cylinder and the spark at the points is used.
@@VintageTechFan What do you mean "the points are inside the cylinder" ??
@@brianamato1078 www.wright-brothers.org/Information_Desk/Just_the_Facts/Engines_&_Props/1903_Engine.htm
It's a generator (as you see in the video, all the cylinders are wired in parallel) and it's shorted by contacts in the cylinder and the spark produced by this ignites the fuel mixture.
Therefore it doesn't need to be aligned with the flywheel (because the timing is done elsewhere) and the simple friction coupling is sufficient. Must have been easier to make.

how heavy is that engine?
From what I understand the engine weighed 170 lbs (approx).
Charlie Taylor built it in six weeks

Very odd ... the wheel isn’t creating the energy ..
It’s like backwards their idea ...

The core drives the wheel ...
No ... the wheel drives the core ...
It’s backwards...
1903 cans? only if you believe they even had cans
@JeffGR4
the soup can from that era was made with very thick steel. It's plausible.
Just like ford when they bought up all the model t's to find out what was too good. Cotter pins ect. then they wigglewagged on there prodution and now make shit cars and trucks for this reason. The cans where of all different dimensions in the pass and I beleive the first experiment used some kind of readily available cyclinder. SOup Can.
I’m curious why it runs on fuel and not electricity...
It’s like you went backwards...
A reverse engineering gone wrong ...
...what? There weren't any electric motors at that time with a high enough power/weight ratio, especially when including the weight of batteries
interesting
Is it true the Wrights made an engine with soup cans and popsicle sticks? Asked nobody ever who knows anything about engines
Esse motor é um muito fraco para fazer um avião ✈ voar
Obrigado
soooooo
Parece tão fraquinho
cool... i wanna make one my self because im building a plane in my garage :v
