  • We meet Eric Harrell, who brought his collection of functional 3d-printed car engines and transmissions to this year's Maker Faire! Eric shows us his 1/3rd scale engines, which he designs from reference schematics and measurements to highlight how real engines work. Eric has also made his files available online for anyone to make their own replicas!

    With a different camshaft design, you could probably run these on compressed air (for a little while.)

    • @swankscabinet1625
      @swankscabinet1625 3 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      Now I think if you took each piece and cast it from aluminum or something, you could run it off of some low heat fuels

      You should look at Tom Scanton on yt, he did something similar

  • @velocirock7421

    This guy is really impressive. You could tell how interested they were about how he did all of this.

  • @amshermansen
    @amshermansen 7 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    This is seriously cool. Just imagine how much you could learn as an engineer or mechanic by taking a course where your ultimate goal would be to literally build an engine. You'd understand the entire process and know what all of the parts do.

  • @ruprechtmudorc2115
    @ruprechtmudorc2115 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I never cease to be amazed at how many extraordinarily skilled people there are in this world and just what they could achieve together if their efforts were recognised and given free rein. There is very little they could not do.

  • @k.k.hickey4624
    @k.k.hickey4624 7 ปีที่แล้ว +56

    Frank seemed super into this, I'd love to see what he could do with one of these with his skill and enthusiasm.

    • @Gerald5000
      @Gerald5000 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah Frank is a Motocross guy, so he knows engines, and you can tell he wants to recast some of the 3D printed stuff in clear resin.

  • @StevenMartinGuitar
    @StevenMartinGuitar 7 ปีที่แล้ว +90

    Talented dudes like this need more time/money/resources. He's obviously very clued up, some company needs to get behind him, the results (and furthering the limits of 3D printing) would be incredible!

    • @TheSweeny99
      @TheSweeny99 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      he seems pretty real, my guy

    • @miyawkat8018
      @miyawkat8018 7 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      yeah the look on his face that he wants to do more and try other stuff but he cant because of the resources he needs. i hope Tested (or frank) can collaborate with him.

    • @d4rkhound388
      @d4rkhound388 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      TJ-N do you know how hard it is to find certain engines, he could make a business based on designing engines, 3d printing them and then making a mold of said engines.

    I love that someone took the time and effort to do this, I grew up rebuilding chevy 454 and 502 engines for boats, the only thing that I can criticize if the last engine in the video, he has the exhaust coming out of the block, not the heads where it's supposed to be, and the engine is a v8 and there's only 3 exhaust outlets , not 4... don't get me wrong, I have to give this guy credit for doing all of this, it takes a lot of time.

    I actually made the Toyota motor with some user designed additions and it is simply brilliant. I also have all the hardware to make the transmission and the transfer box and I hope to get around to starting that in a couple of months ..... It still blows me away how well all the parts, especially the block, is modeled to be detailed but still easy to print. Highly recommended for a complex project that is just going to work.

    I built two Prusa original Clones and bought the FlashForge Dreamer. So far since I'm a RC pilot and fly a 1938 Super Stearman with a Radial Engine, I have 3d printed a working five cylinder radial engine. They actually print stainless steel and other materials, even biometric strands. Amazing what they are doing. I have to admit that watching it reminds me of several scriptures where God created from the dust into a form, whereas up until now mankind has only been able to whittle material into a form. As a master machinist, this is awesome, and as a model builder just incredible.

    Frank cracks me up, his mind works a lot like mine when it comes to mechanical stuff. You can definitely see he's the gearhead of the outfit. I hope he ends up making his own engine on here and getting it running, running a methanol flathead recreation would be really cool... you could even put a blower and mechanical fuel injection on it and... lol

    • @pingushit
      @pingushit 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      But gotta remind him though, not to make it too efficient or too great of a viable alternative to currently used fuel, if not he might get shot in the head. Lmao

    • @jaratt85
      @jaratt85 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      it's a flathead, it will never be efficient, just cool. Their design isn't used for anything other than lawnmower engines anymore for a reason, they don't make much power and the don't get good economy.. They are just simple and cool to look at. A fully race built Flathead Ford V8 running a big supercharger, fuel injection and methanol typically makes maybe 400hp... you can easily do that with a low compression naturally aspirated 302 these days.

    The lowest temperature fuel is compressed air. It would be ideal as it cools as it expands. It would require no modification to your prints and help prevent the plastic pieces from melting at higher RPMs
