Thanks! I finally created a good enough turbine that pushes enough air! I think the short stroke is better for this because the air being needed to boost is less because the piston distance is shorter. The fact that it’s not 3D printed, modified, or geared up is pretty cool. The engine is faster with a regular flywheel instead of the turbo but the fact that the turbo does work is really cool I got around 50-100 rpm increase. I will keep working on this design over spring break right now I’m trying to make the turbine lighter. maybe trying a two cylinder set up might work better.
it is showing improvement but only by 20+ rpm, my suggestion is to use a curved impeller design for more efficiency and a less constricted intake as well as better brick seals due to the design being centrifugal its flinging air to the housing and any leaks can reduce preformance.
@@legoenginemechanic101i may have made a centrifugal blowrt out of lego on my channel Had a maybe 8 inch diameter blower with 6 vanes, powered by 2 buggy motors Definitely kicked some ass
dont know if it actually boost the speed, because it only goes like 50 rpm faster with the boost, while the air resistens from the impeller is probably slowing the engine more then what it makes
Yes of course that happens it even happens with cars the same way but you could get more power out of it but at slower speeds. Overall it doesn’t work and never will
Not rlly sure if you can call it a procharger bc there is no second stage like a procharger has but it rlly smart using the compressed air to force to piston down faster
Are you using a shop vac? i would to try hooking up the blowing end to the impeller with a closed manifold. You might need to actually make the valve thicker so you can make the boost intake bigger to accommodate
hey man I made this engine with the turbine and I made some small improvements and I also 3d printed a turbine so it works really well. wondering if I could make a vid on it I'll give you credit in the vid and in the description
The tapping noise is the valve going inward and hitting the cylinder head because there isn’t any 1x1s with holes to keep it up straight. But when the valve is on it just sucks the valve straight so it doesn’t slap

@@legoenginemechanic101 Its technically the same concept as procharging since the "turbo" isn't running off of exhaust. I tried it, and with a 4x6 paddle turbine it does increase the max rpm by about 300-400rpm, the intake had to be built weird because at full throttle it would bog down and start spinning in reverse then die, But I used a technic to make the blade
@@tannerwilson1557 To be honest, it’s not really acting like a procharger as you said, it’s actually just a sequential turbine. Not a turbocharger, not a procharger, but a sequential turbine.
The valve is on a crankshaft so when the valve is up and open it allows the vacuum to suck the piston up and then it goes down it closes off the vacuum and then allows air to be pushed into the cylinder form the turbo and push the piston down then the cycle repeats
The piston moving up and down in the cylinder is called a stroke, and if it has a short crankshaft then it’s a short stroke.

Would call that a procharger bro but thats cool af
This is a big step in the LVE community!

Yess! Someone who actually knows about the procharger!

Agreed

Badass! Good design
Thanks! I don’t know if it really works but it like gains around 50 rpm so I’m still trying to improve it

Yeah sure man go ahead!
Cool!
I thought this reved to 4900rpm last time
try making a turbocharged vacuum engine ;)
I think I created a working turbocharger but I won’t know until I get the rpm reader
I made a twin supercharged v8 on tiktok
please make a tutorial on how to build it please drum it up
is the tapping noise piston slap? otherwise great build 🔥

@@legoenginemechanic101 yeah hahah I forgot that happens. 😂 the 2x2 engines I've been making don't do that. haven't made a 4x4 for a while
Hey man! Nice vid! Are u using the sucking in mode for the vacuum or the blowing mode???
Suction!
That's very weird! My engine does not working during suction!!!@@legoenginemechanic101

man said pistance hahahhah
i got something for you to test out.
disconnect the fan from the engine so you can see how well it works on its own so you can make it work better.
The engine was pretty much as best as I could get it in the first place. Besides I already destroyed the engine

I need to try this
I will make some more videos on this design tomorrow probably
@@legoenginemechanic101why didnt it rev to 4900 or even 5k
@@JB_Lego because the flywheel/turbine is heavyer and it has to push air also it’s more friction on the axle etc etc etc
@@legoenginemechanic101 ok true
Ima do it with a smaller design for less friction
First test is around 4:36 anything before it is explanation
create tutorial pls!!!!
I kinda wanna turbo a turbine to see how much boost it'll push at like 7k rpm
Turbo a turbo. You can do that in regular cars but I highly doubt it would work with Legos

How dose that work.the turbocharger adds air but the vacuum cleaner sucks it. So how dose it make more power
The valve is on a crankshaft so when the valve is up and open it allows the vacuum to suck the piston up and then it goes down it closes off the vacuum and then allows air to be pushed into the cylinder form the turbo and push the piston down then the cycle repeats
THATS NOT A TURBOCHARGER
