And its revved to 21,500 rpm!!! and was good for 130mph, it won the 1966 world 125cc championship. They also had the equally amazing RC166, an inline 6 cylinder 250 cc.

      @RonnieMacJr69 2 ปีที่แล้ว +17

      A 2 stroke version might be a little more challenging if the plan is to use non steel piston rings, as I’m sure the plastic rings or whatever they are must be easier bent and expanded with heat which would raise the possibility of snagging a ring on a port. That accompanied by the fact that here the hot exhaust gases are expelled through the real steel head and valves but in a two stroke all the hot gases would flow out of the exhaust port in the cylinder. I don’t know anything about acrylic and it’s properties but those would be my concerns

    • @TROdesigns
      @TROdesigns  2 ปีที่แล้ว +22

      @@RonnieMacJr69 nice post. The rings catching on a port is definitely a possibility. The PTFE rings are much more lightly sprung than the steel rings so that works in it's favor. I had a thermal camera going when I ran this engine and the head was MUCH hotter than the cyl. So yeah, that exhaust port is going to be roasted quick...Acrylic is surprisingly strong at room temperature lol

    This is the single coolest thing I have seen in all of 2021. I mean that. I watched those slow mo shots over and over. At the end you can really understand spark advancement. The spark fires and starts the burn just before the piston gets to TDC and the flame front really starts to get going as the piston reaches TDC so it has the perfect timing to push down hard on the crown. I'm guessing that shot was taken at a high engine speed, not idle. 🤔 Beautiful work. Absolutely beautiful work. You can also see how some fuel gets trapped between the compression rings, and how combustion pressure gets behind the rings to push them outward and make a firm seal.

    • @TROdesigns
      @TROdesigns  2 ปีที่แล้ว +97

      Goddamn, this is the best comment I've had on my channel yet! 90% of viewers don't watch till the end and see the spark go off right before TDC, or the leaked combustion between piston rings...this is why I didn't narrate over the whole thing and let people observe for themselves.

      I don't think you could do an acrylic top end on this engine because it's a single overhead cam design. You would have to do that with a L-head (flathead) engine. Unfortunately, with those engines you couldn't do an acrylic cylinder because the block houses the cylinder, piston and the valves. I think you're stuck with one or the other.

In days where you could adjust the fuel/air mixture yourselves, the flame color was a great help. The aim was to have it as blueish as possible. Funny enough, your flame color in this video is deep red. Really the opposite.

    Awesome. Once I tried to realize how steam engine works and despite it's completely different I have some expectations. For example, I expected that fuel is completely burnt in the early stage of expansion and expanding and cooling gas does the work. I did not expected that it still burns when the exhaust valve opens and it also seems to open just before the piston reaches the far end.
