      Having opened up flatHeads, Overheads, F-heads, etc since very young my impressions of the science demonstrated by each design soundly points to the concepts and principles of engineering that has made such a "garden" of kinetic power plants all remarkably different.
      In short, amazing. These designs will never become "old". They are being adapted into new concepts but remain anchored in the original languages of energy conversion. Each engine is really its own language in response to efficient power to weight ratios.

    You miss the howle German technology. For example DB605 from which the US tought it is a radial engine but it is a inverted V12 with up to 2150PS and the fact that the first flyable plane with an jet engine was a German one (Messerschmitt). The DB605 was using a compressor long before some guys in the US used one in a plane and a fule injection system which allowed it to use NOS as boost.

    Those cut-away jets are incredible. One critique: the Bristol Centaurus is a sleeve valve engine, i.e., it does not have valve covers. The picture shows a two-bank, 18-cylinder radial, but it is not a Bristol. The Bristol head was smooth and flat, with only one spark plug sticking out.

    Sorry folks, while the Liberty was a fine engine, it certainly was not the first to fly the Atlantic Ocean. The first aircraft to fly the Atlantic was a Vickers Vimy powered by two Rolls Royce Eagles. The pilots were Alcock and Brown and the flight took place in 1919. Look it up.....

    No mention that the Wright Flyer 1903 engine was made by their bicycle mechanic Charlie Taylor.
    Taylor built the engine in about 6 weeks, just using a lathe and drill press and sketches on a note pad.
    Charlie Taylor was given almost no credit for developing the engine by the very self centered Wright Bros.

      Be happy you weren't sitting behind it. Has a constant loss oil system using castor oil. *That* castor oil. Pilots had the constant squits - not to mention the torque. A Camel will turn right 4 times faster than it turns left, because a right turn goes with the engine torque. 110/130hp. My old Renault Safrane 2.2vi - 138hp.
      A German company managed to design a counter rotating rotary - fixed crankcase geared rotating cylinders - but very complex and had a habit of blowing up.

    • @AndyRoo312
      @AndyRoo312 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Look up the Sopwith Camel, a rotary engined fighter from WW1. It's renowned for being challenging to fly but it soon became the most successful allied fighter of the war due to it's high manoeuvrability when flown by experienced pilots. The gyroscopic effect of the rotary engine meant it was difficult to turn left but it could turn right much faster than any other aircraft at the time. It was so fast in fact that many pilots would opt for a 270° right turn rather than a 90° to the left.

    • @AndyRoo312
      @AndyRoo312 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The M250 is a reverse-flow design. Air enters the compressor at the front and is then ducted around the engine before turning 180° through the rear combustion chamber and exhausting towards the front of the engine. It's a system that Frank Whittle used in the late 1930s to reduce the length and weight of the engine. There are several other examples of this type.

      You are correct that the first NON-STOP flight was powered by Rolls-Royces but the first aircraft to cross the Atlantic was the Liberty powered Curtiss NC-4. It took 10 days and 22 hours to get from Newfoundland to Lisbon with a protracted stop in the Azores with mechanical trouble, eventually arriving on the 27th May 1919. Nonetheless this was the first aircraft of any kind to cross the Atlantic by air. Alcock and Brown achieved their rather more impressive feat in June.

    2:30 love this 1940 Allison V-1710 12cyl sounds beautiful, and an excellent performing engine in the P-38 Lightning - of course there was 2 of these engines powering it.

    I don't know what engine is actually being shown at 2:00, but it's not a Ranger SGV 770. The ranger was, as described, an 'inverted' engine - which the engine in the video most definitely is not. An inverted engine will have the crankcase uppermost, with the heads lower - as per the DB603 - th-cam.com/video/3s15ELvPOuE/w-d-xo.html

      @@Slapbladder actually you are wrong there ,, the USA started building merlins for the british cause they couldn't build them fast enough ,,and with the US building them they had a more secure supply line ,allisons were actually very good engines but the merlin was designed from day 1 to be supercharged the allison was not ,this is what gave the merlin an advantage ,,aircraft like the P-38 lightning did very well with the allison engines and the GE turbo-supercharger ,,what we plain call a turbocharger now ,,the merlin used a single or multi stage,single or multi speed mechanical supercharger ,,as much as 30% or more of the engines power was used to run the supercharger ,,while the Allison as used in the P-38 used ALL of it's power to turn the propeller and the Turbo-supercharger used exhaust to produce boost and increase the engines power output

      @@wildcoyote34 Generally you are correct, although Allisons were indeed always supercharged. The issue is that they weren't initially TWO stage supercharged whereas the Merlin got a useable two stage earlier. There were always two stage Allisons contemporary tp the Merlins, but they would not physically fit in the Mustang ( or Spitfire, for that matter ) without major airframe redesign. Two stage Allisons were used in the P63, but the aircraft itself didn't really fit
      The story of Packard producing Merlins is an interesting one, I wish there were a comprehensive book reqarding that piece of history ! requirements.

      @@wingmanjim6 the allison engines i am familiar with are the simpler design as used in the early mustang which had just the single stage centrifugal supercharger ,,the airplane most synonymous with the Allison engine was the P-38 lightning and they had the GE turbosupercharger which had huge advantages over the Merlin counterpart ,,the biggest one was not requiring such high octane fuel to prevent detonation .turbosupercharger equipped engines didn't have problems with exhaust flares which gave away their position at night ,,the 3rd advantage of the turbosupercharger over the multi stage/multi speed supercharger is it isn't driven directly by the engine ,,the turbo being driven by the exhaust recovers lost engine heat and returns it to the engine in the form of boost ,, the supercharger draws an increasing amount of engine power the higher the plane goes and the higher the speed of the supercharger ..as much as 30% or more of the engines horsepower is taken by the blower ,,,what really made the Merlin engine a winner was it's mass production and eventually it's reliability ,it continued in production after the war and eventually the later models were running thousands of hours between overhauls ,,,
      I've been asked personally which engine i think was better ,and i don't really think either engine was better than the other ,they both were excellent engines ,in the end they were both very reliable and saw long service ,,in the USA the only water cooled engine was the Allison ,,just like the brittish with the Merlin which they used on a variety of planes ,,,the US airforce refused to use liquid cooled engines in it's bombers
