I was walking along in Tom Price, Western Australia just minding my business and came upon the #1 engine on a trailer hooked up to a Land Rover Discovery. I like radial engines so I went over to take a look. When I got close, I could see the cylinders and heads were off a Honda XR-600 (I used to own two of those). These have 4 radially-disposed valves and to actuate them, 8 rocker arms each. The owner works as a fitter machinist for a mining company and I'll bet he made most of it at work. He says he sometimes takes it out and uses it to push his Land Rover along (with a throttle cable from the cabin). Absolutely amazing.
Excellent selection - although I wouldn't have said that if it had excluded an entry from the shed of Allen Millyard. His V12 Kawasaki 2300 is so good it's in an American museum, but the big vee-twin is certainly a contender.
I would have liked to see the Britten V1000 motorcycle engine in this list. It meets the qualifications, John Britten made the entire engine and the entire motorcycle too, in his home workshop.
By far Mr. Patelo the retired navy man has got to be the most impressive motor this far. his video stand alone is absolutely incredibly jaw dropping amazing. showing his fine skill sets of one tenth or less scale machining and old world calibration / measurements with good old fashion lifelong know how and aptitude. the w-32 is a beast of a mini v-12 and is worthy of a title itself in all fairness to the others however this is a well researched and very tough compilation to come up with but my vote is for the miniature w-32 at the 2;15 sec. time mark. kudos to the compiling of this video is it had to be a very tough editing and voting system ,as always thankyou for sharing
@@brandysigmon9066 It's not made to be practical in any way, it's a hobby project - advanced one. And a piece of art, as the narrator said it might end up in a museum, and if not - it would be a pride item for the technology display in any school or univ.
He is incredibly impressive,but let’s give credit to all the other builders here too,every one of them is very,very impressive,and way ahead of my capabilities. I just love the dedication,skill and enthusiasm which goes into each and every one. Well done to ALL you guys!👌
A bit misleading info about that #1 engine. Cylinders or rather individual engines are arranged in a radial configuration but each individual engine is just tied together with a transmission and the output shaft is just that and not a crankshaft. And it wasn't shown running. Hardly material for a #1 engine.
Don't forget garage54’s straight 16 Consisting of Four Lada engines crudely welded together Like a centipede. I am thinking you didn't like the chaotic design of the dopplestern engine
4:43 i saw the Flying Millyard motorbike at the Isle of man Manx TT in 2017 and holy shit you feel the budbudbudbudbuda in your chest even from 30ft away
These are super talented people. The next one should be an X format radial two stroke. There is no crank case compression so would need Reed valves and a small blower for starting. Incorporate direct injection and it will run very clean.
Considering that the Millyard V-twin is mounted in a usable functional vehicle that has driven thousands of miles, I'd say that it should be #1. Don't get me wrong, the others are wonderful machines, but are they anything other than just an engineering exercise?
@Andrew Manche Lol, I think you need to learn facts first. The definition of an engine is "a machine with moving parts that converts power into motion". The definition has NOTHING to do with "fuel". Waiting for your apology and self-correction :)
@Andrew Manche You are literally still wrong. An engine isn't anything to do with fuel. It might be in your sector specifically but that is NOT the only definition. For example, their are entirely mathematical 'engines', physics 'engines' etc. These things adhere to the ACTUAL DEFINITION that I gave you, you know, the accepted standard definition of the word, not just something I've assumed/applied to the field I supposedly work in. Tbh, if you really DID work in those fields of engineering you'd have the understanding that the definition you are asserting isn't the only definition at all. If you could provide a source where your definition is given in academic material etc. I'll provide ten for you where mine is. Have a nice day ;)
@Andrew Manche Judging by the way you repeat yourself and the language you use, you are no older than 15. A motor is "a machine, especially one powered by electricity or internal combustion, that supplies motive power for a vehicle or for another device with moving parts" An engine is the LESS specific definition of "a machine with moving parts that converts power into motion". Here's several sources; en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/engine www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/engine (definition 4) www.dictionary.com/browse/engine (definition 4) www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/engine Now please stop replying if you're going to continue to use the phrase "parrot" and if you're going to continue to make yourself look rather daft with silly statements and Ad Hominem arguments.
@Andrew Manche okay, I'll stick to the actual definition and you stick to your made up definition (for which you have still provided no source for) and your made-up degree and made-up forty years of experience. If you really had a degree you'd be much less reluctant to provide a credible source for anything, you'd use much more mature language and be willing to explain yourself clearly and how definitions have multiple meanings, often specific to a field within which one is working (you'd have made that point yourself if you'd actually bothered to follow up on any of those links I posted). You allege that you are roughly 61 years old (18+3 year degree + 40 years of 'practical experience') and all you have managed to do here is embarrass yourself - if you really are that age, stop acting like an immature and particularly dense moron. Honestly, if your children (assuming you have any) could see your posts, they'd be utterly ashamed of the way you have acted.
This is a good idea for your future engine videos. Instead of having the engine on mute as you're talking about it, make the volume about 30-50%. After each description turn the volume up to near 100%. Kind of let the engine speak for itself
I'm interested in acquiring a VG30 Nissan Infinity V12 Engine arrangement. Or. doubling the number of V6 Cylinders using a V-Twin piston engine with each connecting rod powering 2 cylinders like the originally designed turbocharged locomotive V12 engines. Where the crankshaft has a 6 cylinder crankshaft which doubles the no. of cylinder by each connecting rod powering 2 cylinders. This combines the configuration of a V 60 degree engine, with the configuration of a boxer layout underneath. The original F.I. Engine computer runs and fires 2 cylinders simultaneously.
Lots a wrong in the video. #8 is definitely not 44 cu in. lol that equals .7 liter no way it’s not got larg enough bore and stroke to come any where close. Maybe a .44 cubic inch engine but I didn’t do the math. Displacement for icb engine is “bore X bore X stroke X (.7854 * # of cyl).
there is a guy where i live in australia that built a motorcycle engine that runs the opposite direction to create an anti gyro force to make it easier to corner and this is not the only engine he has built over the years another he built has track record at bathurst race track but sorry cant give you web details as i dont know of any he has
At approx. 1:14 you say "one of the smallest engines ever built is 44 cubic inches" ... what you meant to say was "one of the smallest V8 engines ever built is 44 cubic centimeters (less than three cubic inches)". literally millions of engines have been built under 44 CID, and even many tens of thousands under 44cc's but few V8's under 44cc's.
Would like to see someone put two Honda Type R VTEC heads onto a V8 block with the same rod:stroke ratio as the B series. That thing would probably smoke any muscle car engine.
Powertek did it with hayabusa heads, powering the radical, I did actually look at buying one when I was in the custom business, boss was keen aswell as it has a load baring block. We knew it was going to be expensive, but at the time £50k (ten years ago at a guess) very very short life and extremely short service intervals was not justifiable
dude a Solenoid construction includes an armature that moves in and out exactly like a piston dfaq you talking about a Solenoid without a Piston would be a copper spool with a hole in the middle 2:00 those are clearly pistons attached to a driveshaft o.o'
The number two spot proves once again that Allan Millyard is an absolute madman. I don't think there's a single engine layout out there that he can't make run somehow. He is a crazy engine builder, and the whole automotive community is better for it.

3:48 Image stabilization is a hell of a drug ...
love how the engine at 4:58 'the flying millyard' Is spitting flames straight from the header to a petrol can lol.
Vbuhvv.
Downshifting Kiwi you are right
Downshifting Kiwi look at top comment
After burner bro!
best engine hand maker ever ...Genius ruclips.net/video/QSntBIAlI00/видео.html&spfreload=10
The guy that made the smaller radial, didn’t use AirPlane parts, he salvaged the headers off old air cooled VWs
A poor selection of the many thousands of truly incredible home built engines out there
I would have liked to see the Britten V1000 motorcycle engine in this list. It meets the qualifications, John Britten made the entire engine and the entire motorcycle too, in his home workshop.
In “The Flying Millyard” Allen Millyard even constructed his own carburettors as he couldn’t find any big enough.
By far Mr. Patelo the retired navy man has got to be the most impressive motor this far. his video stand alone is absolutely incredibly jaw dropping amazing. showing his fine skill sets of one tenth or less scale machining and old world calibration / measurements with good old fashion lifelong know how and aptitude. the w-32 is a beast of a mini v-12 and is worthy of a title itself in all fairness to the others however this is a well researched and very tough compilation to come up with but my vote is for the miniature w-32 at the 2;15 sec. time mark. kudos to the compiling of this video is it had to be a very tough editing and voting system ,as always thankyou for sharing
PJ C. The w32 is a great design and build but it doesn't run on its own it needs compressed air to turn it. That makes it impractical
@@brandysigmon9066 It's not made to be practical in any way, it's a hobby project - advanced one.
And a piece of art, as the narrator said it might end up in a museum, and if not - it would be a pride item for the technology display in any school or univ.
I'm a machinist and I agree with you, he designed and made every part and smaller engines are far harder to manufacture.
Allen Millyard is by far the best shed mechanic going. If you haven't seen his channel I'd highly recommend it!
He is incredibly impressive,but let’s give credit to all the other builders here too,every one of them is very,very impressive,and way ahead of my capabilities. I just love the dedication,skill and enthusiasm which goes into each and every one. Well done to ALL you guys!👌
Alan Millyard is crazy but in the best possible way bless him!

And it wasn't shown running. Hardly material for a #1 engine.
it would be a much better video had you allowed the viewer to hear each engine for 5 to 10 seconds, instead of talking over the running of many.
Exactly...
You should checkout the description.
Yeah too much yappitty yap
Don't forget garage54’s straight 16
Consisting of Four Lada engines crudely welded together Like a centipede. I am thinking you didn't like the chaotic design of the dopplestern engine
he copyed a Pratt & Whitney R-4360-35 Wasp Major, 4-Row, Radial 28 cylinder. nothing spectacular about something thats already been done..
Beautiful video and work
That 32 cylinder is just fantastic.
4:43 i saw the Flying Millyard motorbike at the Isle of man Manx TT in 2017 and holy shit you feel the budbudbudbudbuda in your chest even from 30ft away
If the #1 slot was a close call between two engines, why wasn't the other contender for the top slot just put into the #2 slot???
These are super talented people. The next one should be an X format radial two stroke. There is no crank case compression so would need Reed valves and a small blower for starting. Incorporate direct injection and it will run very clean.
5:05 is that exhaust pipe pointing rite at a jerry can of fuel!
#3 the seven cylinder radial is made with VW cylinders and heads.
The motorcycle (Millyard) my favorite ,just a beautiful .
The engine was beautiful! But the bike? I don’t know about that seat all the way in the back? Looks cool, but may be weird to ride.
i love flying millyard...
amazing engine...
I wonder what the power output on that flying millyard it is that is cool
I had an idea for a 16cyl radial engine when I was young.
Glad to see someone smarter than me thought about something similar
Having an even number of cylinders in a radial, is a bad idea, due to ballance.
They need to build full size truck scale W32's. What an ingenious idea. 😲
No.8 is neither a "Victoria" or "44 cubic inches" ...it's a Victory & is 44cc (cubic centimetres)
I knew that ...but he be American
Considering that the Millyard V-twin is mounted in a usable functional vehicle that has driven thousands of miles, I'd say that it should be #1. Don't get me wrong, the others are wonderful machines, but are they anything other than just an engineering exercise?
Super talent
number nine....simple ingenious
Proof that artists don't always use paint brushes.
That patello engine is badass
All engines are mans ingenuity. Always interesting, to me .take brains and skills to design and build. Good stuff..
J
Thanks, I missed a lot of engines so I will make another video soon. Quite a few engine videos coming up soon. Thanks for watching!
its 44 cubic inches!! I don't thinks so...that would be relatively large.just over 760cc... It's 44cc much smaller at just over 2.5 cubic inches
Exactly.. .looks like I wasted time writing a response you took care of already Mr. Jarvis.
61,9 cubic inches equals 1 litre
Allen Millyard is a pure mad genius.
Number 7 is awsome
that home made stitched radial in the thumbnail is straight out of hell
The beast is powerful
All very inneresting, but would like to have gotten more technical info on each engine.
"You can build an engine almost out of anything" - yeah right.... it doesn't hut though if you happen to have a lathe..
Just a small point @1:56 when you say "might be considered a motor", motors ARE engines.
@Andrew Manche Lol, I think you need to learn facts first. The definition of an engine is "a machine with moving parts that converts power into motion". The definition has NOTHING to do with "fuel".
Waiting for your apology and self-correction :)

@Andrew Manche Again, you've not addressed anything I've said in my comments. Utterly embarrassing yourself.
44cc Not CI ... 44 cubic inches is alteast a 2 cylinder in most cases
Thanks for sharing this hope you make lots more....
3:53 this video is melting
very good job on the vid. i can watch these all evening : )
This is a good idea for your future engine videos. Instead of having the engine on mute as you're talking about it, make the volume about 30-50%. After each description turn the volume up to near 100%. Kind of let the engine speak for itself
I would say a pretty good video, especially since there is no clickbate.
1:16 44cc not 44ci
excellent video by the way
draaibank
And it's the "victory", not "victoria"
CISWHITEMALE I
CISWHITEMALE o.o
Why does that mini v10 look so wobbly and distorted?
Have a look at Clen Tomlinson's masterpieces, they are beautiful and functional.
Cool, his Deltic engine is awesome!
Another engine is comming soon. Remember the name MAG-E.
I've started on a 2-stroke engine but I've installed a 4-stroke head and I'm working on the valve train
That defeats how 2 stroke engines work...
3-stroke
you talk to much. let the engines speak for themselves!
3:50 - when the edible kicks in
Ive always wanted to build a V4 engine out of 2 big block motorcycle engines but I dont have money to play around like this lol
Victory not Victoria, proof reading is your friend.
3:49 how it feels to chew 5 gum
0:53 very cool
Would really have liked to see the 18-cyl one that missed the cut near the end. Much more interesting than the 9-cyl.
Have personally seen and heard Russels 9 cylinder radial running. That man is a genius. Would love to see the bigger one.
Rookie move getting her finger started 😂

Check out the guy who built every part down to the tyres of a replica Ferrari 312B, the engine is a flat 12 that has the Ferrari sound..
1:16 44 cubic centimeters (44 cc) not 44 cubic inches
I am sure one of these builders will open a black hole someday
Jesus Christ
They are valuable people who can be survived by zombie apocalypse
Great video
How about the Britten Motorcycle engine? Completely hand built at home and took on the major manufacturers?
number one: the microscopic engine built for a contest
More of the engines running would be nice , after all that is the whole point isn't it ?
No Britten?
Lots a wrong in the video. #8 is definitely not 44 cu in. lol that equals .7 liter no way it’s not got larg enough bore and stroke to come any where close. Maybe a .44 cubic inch engine but I didn’t do the math. Displacement for icb engine is “bore X bore X stroke X (.7854 * # of cyl).
Number 8, the Victory 44, is 44 Cubic Centimeters, not Cubic inches. There's a very big difference, at 16.4cc to 1ci!
there is a guy where i live in australia that built a motorcycle engine that runs the opposite direction to create an anti gyro force to make it easier to corner and this is not the only engine he has built over the years another he built has track record at bathurst race track but sorry cant give you web details as i dont know of any he has
hm guess he turned it flat on the side but then its stabelizing gyro equal on both sides , or sideways v heads comingout on both sides .
About the nine cylinders engine:
A "Zero" or "Aichi" engine made out of "Honda" engines...Mmmmmh..
COOOOOL....!!!!!!!
4:50 that engine sounds sexy for what it is.
Can these top ten video making companies please get people who can at least speak English like its their first language?!?!
I like it, verry nice Creative bosss
next i wanna see a 5 or 7cyl radial made out of Briggs and Stratton 5hp lawn mower engines
With side valves, better still a rotary with side valves, lunacy, absolute lunacy but would be good to see😊.
The Granatale wooshmobile was pretty cool outlawed by Nascar and I believe it could do 300 miles ph
Tyson Gavin. has a 12 rotor rotary that has a projected 6000 hp.
These are miniature engines, not full sized engines. that is for another vid
Wow those are impressive 👍👍
5:48 "RUN" and "PANIC" meter... Hahahahahahaha
Thanks!
well done
Buen video
How is John Brittens Ducati dominating V-Twin built in his kitchen not on this list!?
5:00 did anyone notice the exhaust shooting down on the battery, and fuel source?
Look up the 12 rotor rotary engine on RUclips. It's a marine engine.
Best home made engine is the Conley Stinger 609 Engine . can run you upwards to about $10,000 or more
i want to take 4 briggs and stratton push mower engines and make them into a 4 cylinder inline
Someone already did this on RUclips, Donovan...it was a fabulous build! Just type in "4 cylinder Briggs"
See 805Roadking on RUclips he built one
Came here to say this. Sounds great, too.
ik
i have seen the videos of it
Good vid mate thanks for sharing.
Would like to hear them all run
44 ccs i think

Victory and Victoria are two different words my guy
I had a good ideal when I saw the straight 8. straight 16 with 4 turbos and nitrous oxide. (cue evil laugh)
You'll shoot your eye out, kid!
1:17 He said 44 cubic inches. It is not. It is 44 cc
1:10 Yeah but those tubes are obviously not spray cans.
