    I have owned a rake of NMW K100's and a K75s. The K100 had some kind of internal shaft that rattled when I bought them and rattled when I either scrapped them off (some dumb ass ran it over while parked) That dunk, dunk, dunk noise from the engine at idle sounded the same after about 160,000km on all of the K100's. The K75 was supposed to be the same engine but with 3 pots instead of 4. There was no internal shaft though and the torque was higher up the rev range. TBH you cant go much wrong with a BMW motorbike. I have owned about 15 motorbikes and the BMW's were cheapest to maintain and most reliable.

    I'd like to extend the question covered in this video: Do you think it is realistic that you would end up not being able to restore an engine due to lack of documentation and specs?
    What I mean is: Let's assume you get a bearing manufacturer to agree on manufactuing a batch of thrust bearings for the Orenda 14. I can imagine there are some specifications for that bearing, that only the original manufacturers have known and that have not been published in the genereal documentaiton of the engine. So you would end up with a bearing, that you can't put in the engine because you don't know if it meets the orginal specs.
    Thank you for educating us! Greetings from Austria.

    • @AgentJayZ
      @AgentJayZ  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      This is a good description of the issue that will eventually present itself.
      When such bearings are produced, they will need to be tested to the satisfaction of the operators of the engine.

    Lifters, lift up, dampen valvetrain vibrations, and lifters spin in their bores. There isnt a single piece on a turbine engine that moves in such a complex motion and at a high speed. Parts like that are common in piston engines. This is why the AGT-1500 was selected over a piston engine, they wanted a very simple tough tank engine.

    Hi Jay! I’m not sure about the r1200 but the r1150 used small push rods about 2 in long to move the rocker arm. The push rod had steel balls pressed into either side of an aluminum shaft and after many heat cycles the ball would get loose in its pressed aluminum collar. This contributed to a lot of valve noise on the oil heads. I’m not sure if that system survived into the r1200 though. Might be the origin of your noise.

    • @AgentJayZ

    Hi Jay! Can you make a video explaining why *actual* Turbojets dont use Centrifugal Compressors (Unlike their younger RC brothers), and why said RC engines dont use Axial Compressors?

    • @AgentJayZ
      @AgentJayZ  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      If you watch my Oshkosh vid called Warbird Jets, I'm in the backseat of an aircraft that does a barrel roll. It's powered by a turbojet engine that uses a double sided, single stage centrifugal compressor.
      I might make a video about engine sizes, technology, and costs.

    • @grahamj9101
      @grahamj9101 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The first generation turbojets (the successful ones) all had centrifugal compressors.
      The Whittle WU, W.1, W.1A, W.2B, the R-R Welland (derived from the W.2B), Derwent, Nene and Tay, the DH Goblin and Ghost all had centrifugal compressors. And so did von Ohain's original engines, including the HeS 3, the first ever turbojet to fly in the He 178. However, it was good for only a few minutes flight time and the aircraft's first landing was unpowered..
      In comparison to the British centrifugal engines, the German wartime axial flow engines were grossly inferior in almost every respect - except for their frontal area.
      The first successful turbojets in the USA all used Brit technology. The P&W J42 was a licence-built Nene and the J48 was a licence-built Tay. And, of course, the Klimov VK-1 in the MiG-15 was a reverse-engineered R-R Nene (with a few tweaks). It produced a little less thrust that the axial flow GE J47, was slightly less efficient in terms of specific fuel consumption, but was significantly lighter.

    • @grahamj9101
      @grahamj9101 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I've given you an answer to Part One of your question, now here is an answer to Part Two.
      I presume you've taken a good look at the blading in the compressors of the Orenda engines that AgentJayZ has shown us? Perhaps you have also seen the compressor blading of the J79s and LM1500s that he has worked on?
      Now try to imagine those scaled down geometrically to the size of the little centrifugal turbojets that are used in R/C jet aircraft models. The blades and vanes would be impossibly thin and fragile: they would be like tiny razor blades. And the various clearances, both radial and axial, could not be scaled. To be practicable, the blades and vanes would have to be relatively larger, both in thickness and in chord.
      Now imagine those blades and vanes scaled back up to the size of an Orenda or a J79. They would be ridiculously thick and their chords would be unnecessarily wide, making the compressors excessively long.
      Aerodynamically, those compressors would be significantly less efficient than the real Orenda and J79 compressors. - and so are the actual 'miniature' axial flow compressors that various people have tried to construct. In practice, they are relatively even more inefficient, to the extent that they often do not work.
      PS I used to be a regular visitor to a local model engineering show here in the UK, at which members of the Gas Turbine Builders Association exhibited their little centrifugal engines, including running one or two of them. However, there was one exhibitor who turned up with the components of his little axial flow engine: to the best of my knowledge, it had never actually run.

      I don't know all the details of how it's done, but it's not like a mold or a press that can be quickly swapped in. The machines are all universal, and are configured for high volumes in the thousands of bearings.
      This would need to be stopped, and changes would need to be made in forging of the basic parts, machining , grinding, measurement, inspection, testing and quality control, certification of performance, engraving or labelling, packaging, inventory.
      If the factory has hundreds of workers, making thousands of units per day, and generating a decent profit margin, how many units need to be ordered to cover the interruption and delay involved with setup for a new product?
      I doubt it would be worth their time for anything less than a thousand items, and even then a significant "low volume" premium would need to be paid.
      Anyway, no manufacturer we've talked to is interested in such a puny amount of money, and no owner has so far been interested in paying such a huge amount of money.

      In fact, the industrial version might need a better standard of thrust bearing because it has to take higher loads at ground level, as compared to running at altitude.

    I have a question. I'm a plumber, so bear with me if I get terminology wrong.
    In a turbo fan engine with a free turbine (fan not directly connected to the compressor). If we assume a fan on a turbo fan engine can only achieve a certain full throttle rpm on, say, a test stand or on an aircraft stationary doing a run up. I assume the fan will increase rpm as the aircraft increases speed like a propeller driven aircraft or boat would. if I am correct in my thinking are engines designed to handle the fan rpm that might occur at a high speed, high throttle scenario, or does the engine management software reduce throttle to prevent a fan overspeed from happening?

    • @ChemEDan
      @ChemEDan ปีที่แล้ว

      From a physics perspective, I think you can achieve higher rpm while stationary. At high speed the fan will be consuming more power to produce the same thrust. It would be really interesting to hear what the absolute gentleman JZ himself has to say about this.

    • @AgentJayZ
      @AgentJayZ  ปีที่แล้ว +7

      The static thrust might seem to be more than the moving thrust, because the speed differential between the exhaust air and the atmosphere is greatest when the engine isn't moving.
      But, as the engine is moving through the air, as it would be when propelling a flying aircraft, the inlet air is also being rammed into the engine.
      The fan is designed for best performance while flying at several hundred km/hr, and at full engine rpm.
      The LP, N1, or Fan rpm would be lower on static test because of 2 factors: no ram effect, and the air is more dense on the ground than it is a few KM in the sky.
      The different rpm's for the N1 system, static on the ground, and at any speed in the air, are all within the operating limits of the engine.
      If either the fan (N1) or the core(N2) were to get to their maximum rpm, the fuel control would modulate fuel to keep those values from exceeding the max limit.
      Full Authority Digital Engine Control.
      The full authority bit means the computer is in charge.

Statically, the AOA is basically the angle of the fan blades.. with forward motion say in flight, the AOA is smaller, which should unload or make less drag, allowing the rpm to be higher.. a good example is an airplane with a fixed pitch prop. On takeoff, it might only make 2250 rpm. In flight, it could be 2700 rpm or more if you let it..

    • @AgentJayZ

      Speaking about the J79, the Variable Stator System adjusts for inlet air pressure and density, and the entire compressor system is designed for conditions of full rpm and max ram pressure. The inlet duct, which is part of the aircraft, adjusts its geometry to maximize ram pressure and to keep the inlet air subsonic, even if the aircraft is travelling through the air at supersonic speeds.
