    2:20 - The Napier Deltic is the big grandfather of this engine. It has 36 pistons in 18 cylinders, arranged in a delta configuration of 6 banks, is a two-stroke Diesel engine, and develops up to about 2,500 horsepower. The 'Baby Deltic' has half the number of banks. The Deltic was developed from a 1930's Junkers Jumo 204 design under license. The engines were variously used in aircraft, military boats, railway locomotives, and even in a New York Fire Service water pump. They were sometimes used in pairs; 72 pistons in 36 cylinders. So the basic design of the engine in the video is at least 85 years old.

    The "Opec" engine seems to be the most practical option and even the "next" logical evolutionary step in the well known "boxer" engine. All, aside from the "bacterial" engine, seem to have probable applications in the future if properly refined. In my humble opinion, magnetics will play a big part in future powertrains both on a planet and in space.

    "mach 25" Holy shit!

    • @michaelbuckers
      @michaelbuckers 7 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Mach 25 is about the orbital velocity, you can't fly any faster without escaping Earth's gravity.

    • @CharlieFoxtrot
      @CharlieFoxtrot 7 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      depends on your altitude and eccentricity

    • @michaelbuckers
      @michaelbuckers 7 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      ***** Regardless of either, 11.1-something km/s is escape velocity, if you're at that speed anywhere around Earth, you'll shoot into outer space. Low altitude orbital velocity is about 8 km/s i.e. Mach 22. Moving 30% faster breaks circular/elliptic orbit into non-looping infinite line and you fly out and never return. For the reference, escape velocity of the Sun is 617.5 km/s though - super hard to reach. Fastest moving man-made object only runs ~40 km/s.

    However I will say that the EM drive doesn't have much promise. Although it does produce thrust, most of the more reliable tests show that it produces thrust in accordance with Einstein's E = mC^2.
    In other words, energy has mass, so this doesn't violate any laws. The engine produces less thrust than a flashlight though, so we probably won't see it working... ever. Moreover, there is this neat saying that goes "friends don't let friend use reactionless drives"

    The freevalve camless sounds like a good way for a piston to smack a valve. At least with a standard engine, this is quite unlikely as unless a timing belt or chain slips or breaks or a valve collet comes off.
    Also, #7 the opposed piston engine was first built by Jumo in WW2 as a diesel plane, then modified by the British to make the Deltic post war. It is an old design, but really an untapped idea I believe.

    7 is a twin Kansas City lightning engine.
    6 can be found almost exactly as its shown in the technical museum in Kerkade, NL

      @comethiburs2326 7 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      as a boat/specialist engine maybe, given its far too wide, even for a truck.
      it has to overcome emissions restrictions and being a two stroke design does not make that easy. the commer knocker was notoriously loud, so it'll absolutely need a turbo.

    • @comethiburs2326
      @comethiburs2326 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      sixmagpies although you're not wrong on two stroke diesels being the current most efficient engines, you forget at which scale we are. we are speaking about 100 Liters and up engines, a completely different class than the OPOC.
      IF. IF it manages the same levels of effiency, then it might bring good.
      i'm still waiting for ilmor to power some hot rod and prove themselves with their 5 stroke engine....
      As far as we speak, we're looking at a test bench engine. even a hot air engine looks great on a bench.

    Working on a reciprocating permanent magnet motor-generator, using superconducting wire and combustion of methane gas. Compressing the magnetic field of a neodymium magnet is a way to "momentarily" store energy from the combustion of methane gas, in that balancing motion & mass is like putting a spring between two freight trains moving head on, even when both trains are moving at exactly at the same rate and have exactly the same mass the trains will still be going through that force that pushes & bends. Balancing the center-points & controlling vibration & lost motion seems to be the key ingredient concerning the top 10 strangest engines, I love this video and would like to see more like this!

      Most people who damage the rotary engine and claim it is unreliable either abuse it and blow a seal (which is uncommon if well maintained), don't keep up with maintenance, or run it low on oil.

      Chris Barbati still the user has to really check the levels of oil and water or its goodbye, witch was a problem as people dont know shit they just drive, making it end its day in a sportscar only.
      the fuel economy was bad at least for Europe as it drank gas crazy, and often liked to have some oil mixed in too.
      its light weight and it can rev extremly high, but it was not the sollution just another working engine, i think most of these is that ir worse to, they will never be used as they has problems that makes them worse than what we already use, burning more oil is not a final answer at all.

    Before I discovered it was already a thing, I actually designed a camless engine in my notebook at school... It was like the free valve, accept it was more basic and only used basic computer stuff, or maybe hydraulics, to get the valves going. My design never was built, but I figure it'd be hard to start without advanced understanding of how I could make it start up right. Maybe a separate mode just for starting.

      Binary Zombie, You haven't looked at the freevalve tech right?
      It is not driven by oil, but it is air actuated. And Koenigsegg has actually modified a saab 9-5 and put the freevalve system in it several years ago, and has put a significant amount of miles on it since then. They have created one or two generations after that as well.
      There is actually quite a lot of videos about it. I would recommend looking into it if engines interest you. A surprisingly simple system which doesn't seem to pose a huge reliability issue. =)

      renewable fuels would be the best option, imo. they can be used with existing technology, are cleaner and can run better than fossil fuels. I mean the diesel engine was originally intended to run on peanut oil, until oil companies got hold of it. electric vehicles are just a band aid, and if powered by electricity produced from fossil fuels only move their pollution from one area to another. not to mention the batteries.

  • @ruediix
    @ruediix 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    The Sabre engine's best use would be for sub-orbital flight. You could get from London to Tokyo in a matter of hours.
    My thought on the EM drive is that it is pushing against photons. A greater portion of the EM energy escapes the chamber on one side than the other. Photons, have mass after all, even if minuscule. However, another possibility is that when exposed to an exosphere it induces trace plasma particles in the exosphere and propels them mostly in one direction, where they then disperse back into their rarefied gas form as plasma does when it's unconstrained. Photons might actually always do this, pulling a stream of plasma along with them, hence adding substantially to the mass of the photons.

  • @thundercactus
    @thundercactus 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The EM drive was finally proven to not work as advertised by a lab in Germany. It was tested on a torsion balance in the usual two directions, and found to emit micro-thrust. But then they rotated it 90 degrees and found abnormal thrust. They turned the EM drive off and only put power to the electronics and found it was generating the same thrust. Concluding that it was an interaction between the twisted pair wiring and the Earth's magnetic field.
    And it's a REALLY good thing it doesn't work, because reactionless drive systems are the stuff of science fiction nightmares.

    I know Chrysler Tigershark motor don’t have a cam controlling the valves on the Intake side. I always thought that was a pretty good idea but I always though why stop there and just make both sides controlled by actuators.
    Not a bad idea. It would make it a lot more efficient in the long run being that it’s VVT capability is going to be unrestricted and can even gain more efficiency.
    Also, I’m sure by a simple tune in a V8 platform can give you the same performance and sound as a fat nasty cam too without having to replace a camshaft. There’s so many benefits to this.
