@@spccadett I don't think high-cylinder-count engines are typically ran at higher RPMs anyways. There's so much torque going to the shaft already, it's more materials science than design engineering by that point.

I'd honestly buy the new of these little lego engines. My friends and family always ask me how engines work and this would be an awesome little teaching model!
They're cool, but honestly they leave out some important things about engines, particularly valves and timing belts, so I'm not sure they would really be good for teaching. Pistons are cool, but it's arguably the easiest/least important part of understanding how an engine works.
@@cuthbertallgood7781 yea engines are supposed to be powering the drivetrain, not the other other way around!also these engines have no heads so it’s kinda inaccurate. Cool to look at tho
Okay guys, I'm saying just the bare bone basics lmao. I'm not trying to teach people about timing and spark advance when they've never changed their oil.
Lego part are light so there in not a lot of mass to move that’s why smaller engines rev higher I think the V8 lego engine could go over 20.000RPM if you put a big enough motor to it
everything is hitting together at the same rate and in the same amounts as the ignition in each chamber of a real engine. so it should sound similar but distorted.
They should make a real straight 100, only its kind of bent by 3.6 degrees per piston, and the first piston crank connects directly to the 100th. The whole thing is also the wheel
I always appreciate how simple BEC’s builds are. It always seems like the absolute minimum required to do the job, which to me is a sign of good engineering. I know I always used to overbuild my technic contraptions to hell.
In a factory nearby (I used one of their places to film there a few times) they produced those H16s and they have one on display. I was always interested to see the inner workings. Fascinating stuff!
This does a pretty solid job of showing how smooth some of these configurations can be and why some motors are better suited for higher rpms than others.
@@pinotgrizio3567 I think that's more because the Legos aren't as solid or as stiff as a traditional engine block so any vibration is multiplied instead of just absorbed. Fewer cylinders + less gaps between Lego blocks = less vibration. At least that is my guess.
@@Hybris51129 They need to be lubricated too. The reversed transfer of torque may also be a factor, instead of the engine spinning the shaft, the shaft is spinning the engine.
Love the sound of the V8 and the radial all throughout, super realistic. And the H16 on startup actually sounded like somebody was cranking an old GP car. Gotta love that pistons that small still move enough air at the right time to make those noises

Real engines are built with a lot more bracing between banks, and the crank is usually not made of easily disconnected pieces ;) Also the lack of bushings to keep slop out of the system would go a long way, though I get that this is just a neat demonstration video and not actually trying to make something durable.
@@slamshift6927 but making that much of a long shaft would actually decrease reliability and as the RMP's increase the shaft will be twisted due to the effect of torsional Inertia right?

@@rehan.m3196 It wasn't Lotus it was BRM. Lotus had no 3 liter engine available to them for the new regulations in the 1966 season and the Cosworth DFV V8 wasn't ready until the third race of 1967. So Lotus either used 2.0 liter Climax engines (enlarged 1,5 liter regulation V's), BRM 2,0 liter V8's and sometimes the BRM H-16, which BRM had designed for the own P83 F1 car first. Lotus was just a customer which purchased this (overly heavy) H-16 engine. They're also the only ones ever to win a race with that engine, the American GP at Watkins Glen 1966.
The sheer amount of engine cylinders, pistons, cylinder rods, and miscellaneous pieces this man has is impressive enough. The fact that he has the patience to even built the fiddly engines towards the end is worth praise, well done good sir!

@@TransGirlGaming If you like those, I highly recommend you listen to a 4.5 litre TVR Cerbera. That has a flat plane crank with an unusually-narrow V-angle. It makes it sound very angry. Despite sharing many similarities with the modern Ferrari V8s, that narrow angle really twists the sound. I had one - still think it was the best sounding engine noise I ever heard. Not comfortably "woofly" like a cross-plane V8 but purposeful... something you imagine the Devil would drive.
@@NigelMarston oh I've heard the TVR cerbera a lot lol, my neighbor had one for years till he sold it at the start of Covid it was this beautiful Rose gold colour, but honestly any engine sounds amazing to me even the old factory I6 in my 81 C10 lol just something about a running engine keeps my mind at ease
Most people don’t know it but this is the main producer of your vehicle noise. Granted, camshafts also play a big part as well as your exhaust system, but this is truly a showing of the raw orchestra of any engine.
I wanna say, the U shaped tank engine sounded closely to a tank, too. Not at 3k RPM, as I'm pretty sure, most tanks never revved that high. But around baseline, lets say, 500 rpm, it had a similar vibe to the real deal.
I'll be entirely honest, I was completely clueless to how engines worked before this. My dad's a car geek, so growing up I heard all the terminology, but I could never visualize what was going on. Now I get it. Thanks, LEGO :)
The 42-cylinder 7-row Radial-6 engine just looks fantastic. I wonder, if you would have winded each layer 30° clockwise (or anticlockwise) compared to the prior built layer (similar to the DNA double-helix),if then the structure would have gotten more stability against vibrational damage.
Wanna see a really cool LEGO replica of a WWII F4U Corsair with a 'working' Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp engine? - th-cam.com/video/K3pUdOVB3vw/w-d-xo.html
The biggest contributor to the sound would be the frequency with which it is happening. For example, a V6 engine running at 4,000rpm would have 24,000 explosions per minute, or 400 per second. So an output frequency (sound) of approximately 400Hz would be attributed to the internal combustion. Other frequencies that are mixed in with this frequency would be attributed to other variables, such as cylinder salience, engine vibration based on the torque moments, and imperfections in the engine balance, timing belt path etc. This video gives a good basic idea about different engine configurations, but is not accurate in terms of the cylinder timing (ie: angle offset and ignition timing of cylinders) as well as other variables such as crank angle, as well as the fact that engines use the cylinders to drive the camshaft, where as here he is using the camshaft to drive the cylinders.
@@daveolifent4477 no Bc I’m just going 😢 be there now in a little while I have a few bucks to get on the ground now I just need to have it a few bucks and I have to get it towed and I’ll take care about it lol lol I’m bout to go to get the truck lol I just got hit some car I got hit a lot lol lol I was thinking I could do that but you got a ride home and that’s cool I’ll just get my tires fixed I’ll get it back ewe eI I need a car repair guy I got towed to my mechanic and I saw the truck driver I didn’t get a car park there so I’m sorry I got hit by my cars lol I’m driving back from work I’ll do it tomorrow I’ll get it done I get a lot done done with my work I’ll
I am also very intrigued by the sound dynamics being demonstrated here.... incredible that the resonance and timbre of the "engine note" is obviously defined by the shape and configuration of the system, as opposed to the medium.....
You'd be surprised to know that hypercars have more cylinders than Semi trucks. Most Semis have straight-six engines, though this comes down to Straight-Six engines being the longest lived and most durable cylinder layout.
This is like a mechanic's progressing nightmare. Imagine having to do any kind of maintenance on that radial engine. How would you reach literally anything on that?!
realistically, a s100 would be nearly physically impossible to put in a car. A real version of that would probably be close to the length of a full size SUV, or school bus. Even if you make the engine 10 s10 engines side by side, it would still be impossible as there would likely not be enough room in the engine bay of a car. Still though, we can only hope
technically, its the 4-stroke cycle forcing an odd number of cylinders per layer, cuz you'd have a wonky firing cycle otherwise. With an odd number, you can have pistons fire every other stroke and there wouldn't be an overlap. 1-3-5-2-4. With an even number, no matter what you do, there's going to be uneven firing timings. 1-3-2-4, 3-2 long gap, 1-4 short gap. 1-2-3-4, one rotation of all firing, one rotation of nothing. With 2-stroke it doesn't matter, they will always fire when they hit TDC. Very, very rare, but a few experimental engines with even cylinders exist.
Everyone is respecting Lego but I give respect to the creator of this video for doing this and delivering this magnificent engineering & idea that satisfies an unknown curiosity.
That's why big engines mechanics are paid much more It takes a lot of care effort and fear to maintain big military vehicles, large race vehicles and big ships engines One loose screw or a bit too little/ much oiling and you have an expensive accident at best
@@user-hy8ld2zk6e I knew about that but if he were to break a record, he would get the honours. Its like if i got the world largest bubblegum bubble but the bubblegum i used gets the honours not me who did it.
Fun fact. U12 wasn’t only engine used in the M4 Sherman. There was actually a few different types of engines. The M4 Sherman and all its variants only had one thing really in common. Its silhouette, and if I remember correctly. The top mounted MG. In the pacific campaign the M4 tank was fitted with a Diesel engine instead of a gasoline one.
@@lombridious $300.00 for an Ender 3, $50-75 for the filament, and there ya go... Those parts aren't that big, so effectively you could make it for a total cost of under $400.00 and probably around 72-96 hours max print time for the 16 cylinders and below. Did they test to see how much heat is generated by friction? That would be a great piece of information.
If your friend has a 3d printer you could ask him for just a long axle which doesnt even take that much filament so you may even get a long crank shaft for free
@@stevepittman3770 Ah, but then they would ask “How many more?”, to which the answer would also be “YES”. So saying yes the first time just cuts out the middle man
Lego website : "Hey, what do you want to order today? We've just recieved new transparent engine blocks if you are interested." You: "Sure, i'll take your entire stock." Absolutely amazing job ! I also expose how radial engines create strong rotation forces that need to be countered by the pilot in mono engine planes.
I see a problem here: "S100" engine is S4 engines stuck together. It should be fixed by offsetting each piston by 1.8° not 90°. Engine like your (aside from inevitable bending) would waste it's potential of running very smooth.
@@imwithstupid086 Unless the required parts could be 3D printed. I thought the same as Szymon, that a true inline 100 engine would have all of its pistons having a different firing order. Like comparing an inline 6 to an inline 4, imagine how smooth it would be.
Honestly I kinda hate cars Their an A hole to work on now Parts are f*ckin rare, Engines parts are more expensive bc of the EPA F*ck even the cars are being more expensive than before. That’s why I’m not ambitious about it.
9:08 Because it wasn’t designed to spin that fast. These ship engines are VERY large, I’m talking _hundreds_ of liters of displacement. Such big engines can only get to maybe 750RPM at _most._
Thank you for this; it is extremely educational and provides a lot of context and visuals for how an engines crank system works. Also what I really enjoyed was the sounds. The sound of the U12 was spot on, to scale, and that is really amazing. Please keep doing what you are doing!
It was watercooled AFAIK, and i think they made a version that was two of those fastened together and then used them in multiples. Also it was a diesel.
Unfortunately as you even get as high as a straight 8 cylinder engine the length of the crankshaft becomes too long and there is some sort of flexing with the crankshaft so I can’t even imagine how bad it would be in a s 100 engine
Maybe a ship? Like the other guy said, it's just too much crankshaft flex. Probably better to have multiple engines with an X or Radial formation and multiple propellers
@@IncendiaryOCE That could work, but your forgetting one thing fuel A engine of that size would require a massive amount of fuel, oil, air, and exhaust to operate efficiently. Not to mention the vibrations and noise caused by that. Imagine trying to sleep on the other side of the ship!

I wanna say, the U shaped tank engine sounded closely to a tank, too. Not at 3k RPM, as I'm pretty sure, most tanks never revved that high. But around baseline, lets say, 500 rpm, it had a similar vibe to the real deal.

I love how growly the 42 is and the 40x slowmo on the 100 straight sounds like a heartbeat.
The 42-cylinder 7-row Radial-6 engine just looks fantastic. I wonder, if you would have winded each layer 30° clockwise (or anticlockwise) compared to the prior built layer (similar to the DNA double-helix),if then the structure would have gotten more stability against vibrational damage.

Wanna see a really cool LEGO replica of a WWII F4U Corsair with a 'working' Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp engine? - th-cam.com/video/K3pUdOVB3vw/w-d-xo.html
this actually makes me wonder if most of the sound an engine makes from the front is coming from the parts moving, not the actual explosions happening
mind ~~blown~~ moved
The biggest contributor to the sound would be the frequency with which it is happening. For example, a V6 engine running at 4,000rpm would have 24,000 explosions per minute, or 400 per second. So an output frequency (sound) of approximately 400Hz would be attributed to the internal combustion. Other frequencies that are mixed in with this frequency would be attributed to other variables, such as cylinder salience, engine vibration based on the torque moments, and imperfections in the engine balance, timing belt path etc. This video gives a good basic idea about different engine configurations, but is not accurate in terms of the cylinder timing (ie: angle offset and ignition timing of cylinders) as well as other variables such as crank angle, as well as the fact that engines use the cylinders to drive the camshaft, where as here he is using the camshaft to drive the cylinders.

I am also very intrigued by the sound dynamics being demonstrated here.... incredible that the resonance and timbre of the "engine note" is obviously defined by the shape and configuration of the system, as opposed to the medium.....
The pitch we hear is just the frequency of the cylinders oscillating. 3000 RPM is 50 Hz, which is conformably within human hearing range.

The mere idea of doing that on the more complex ones is enough to trigger my anxiety.
most of these were probably only 2 stroke, especially the aircraft ones but the tank engines are probably also 2 stroke diesels.
I love how a sports car, has a more cylinders than a freaking TANK.
i have a 500hp tractor with only two cylinders, all about that torque
The Chrysler A57 multibank used in some M4 Shermans had 30 cylinders.
You'd be surprised to know that hypercars have more cylinders than Semi trucks. Most Semis have straight-six engines, though this comes down to Straight-Six engines being the longest lived and most durable cylinder layout.
More than four times the displacement in the tank engine though.
Some modern tank engines have a grand total of 0 cylinders because gas turbine
That S100 could be fun for use in a supertanker. The engine could flex right along with the ship. Plenty of oil on board for lubrication too :-)
This is like a mechanic's progressing nightmare. Imagine having to do any kind of maintenance on that radial engine. How would you reach literally anything on that?!

realistically, a s100 would be nearly physically impossible to put in a car. A real version of that would probably be close to the length of a full size SUV, or school bus. Even if you make the engine 10 s10 engines side by side, it would still be impossible as there would likely not be enough room in the engine bay of a car. Still though, we can only hope

That radial engine dosen't sound happy when compared to the others.
Maybe a upset stomach...
There is eason why real radial engines have uneven numbers of cylinders per radial.
technically, its the 4-stroke cycle forcing an odd number of cylinders per layer, cuz you'd have a wonky firing cycle otherwise. With an odd number, you can have pistons fire every other stroke and there wouldn't be an overlap. 1-3-5-2-4. With an even number, no matter what you do, there's going to be uneven firing timings. 1-3-2-4, 3-2 long gap, 1-4 short gap. 1-2-3-4, one rotation of all firing, one rotation of nothing.
With 2-stroke it doesn't matter, they will always fire when they hit TDC. Very, very rare, but a few experimental engines with even cylinders exist.
For the radial 42, I would suggest making a rigid frame to hold the cylinders together. Feel free to experiment with what works best

That's why big engines mechanics are paid much more
It takes a lot of care effort and fear to maintain big military vehicles, large race vehicles and big ships engines
One loose screw or a bit too little/ much oiling and you have an expensive accident at best
I really wish he covered the pistons to see if it could handle such quick pressure changes, if it could he could use the engine as a pump
Prob need a piston ring or smth cause there is wayyy too much gap for a pump
Well yeah but it still could work and regardless it would just be a inefficient pump
It would probably be amusing to see if the launched off from the constant pressure changes
The versatility of LEGO never ceases to amaze me.
That's why you run the 42cyl at 2500rpm. Anything higher and it can literally tear itself and the ship to shreds when even a little off balance.
yeah the thats why we run high torques at low rpms in stuff like boats and tanks

My mind is blown. It's been 2 hours since I started watching these lego engine creations and I love it. Absolutely brilliant

Fun fact. U12 wasn’t only engine used in the M4 Sherman. There was actually a few different types of engines. The M4 Sherman and all its variants only had one thing really in common. Its silhouette, and if I remember correctly. The top mounted MG.
In the pacific campaign the M4 tank was fitted with a Diesel engine instead of a gasoline one.

@@lombridious $300.00 for an Ender 3, $50-75 for the filament, and there ya go... Those parts aren't that big, so effectively you could make it for a total cost of under $400.00 and probably around 72-96 hours max print time for the 16 cylinders and below.

I also expose how radial engines create strong rotation forces that need to be countered by the pilot in mono engine planes.
I see a problem here: "S100" engine is S4 engines stuck together. It should be fixed by offsetting each piston by 1.8° not 90°. Engine like your (aside from inevitable bending) would waste it's potential of running very smooth.
I don't think it's feasible to offset them to 1.8 degrees with just readily available Lego parts.
@@imwithstupid086 Unless the required parts could be 3D printed. I thought the same as Szymon, that a true inline 100 engine would have all of its pistons having a different firing order. Like comparing an inline 6 to an inline 4, imagine how smooth it would be.
Does the s100 inline engine actually exist. And if so we're can I find information on it
This is probably the first time someone's made a H16 config, in decades. Thanks for having a go at it. :)

Air cooling that radial with the cylinders in tandem like that would be an engineering marvel.
It was watercooled AFAIK, and i think they made a version that was two of those fastened together and then used them in multiples. Also it was a diesel.
This is insane! I didn't even know there were engines in lego but damm that's sick!
I wonder if there could be any kind of possible application for the S100.
Unfortunately as you even get as high as a straight 8 cylinder engine the length of the crankshaft becomes too long and there is some sort of flexing with the crankshaft so I can’t even imagine how bad it would be in a s 100 engine
@@NoiseComplaintgarage142 This guy is right, even if you added more onto the straight 8 (like X32) there’s no improvement beyond that
You could technically employ multiple camshafts, but that would be just as impractical as the engine itself lol
Maybe a ship? Like the other guy said, it's just too much crankshaft flex. Probably better to have multiple engines with an X or Radial formation and multiple propellers
@@IncendiaryOCE That could work, but your forgetting one thing
fuel
A engine of that size would require a massive amount of fuel, oil, air, and exhaust to operate efficiently. Not to mention the vibrations and noise caused by that. Imagine trying to sleep on the other side of the ship!
