Very enlightening video! Thank you. Most of the cars I've owned have been V6's or inline 4's. I've had an Audi A6 with a supercharged V6, which was a great engine until it got near 100K miles, very $$$ to repair. So, now I'm all about naturally aspirated V6's that can take 87 octane, like on my new Lexus ES 350, which has plenty of power and great gas mileage on account of its 8-speed transmission. I hope to keep it a long time -heard they last well over 300K and still run great, as long as maintained.
im so lucky to be borned in this era. I can study anything online. The knowledge is unlimited. Im considering now to study engine. Retired IT tech guy.
I have a Volvo inline four, a B230F. It just runs. Has over 300.000 miles on it now, and still runs like clockwork. Never been rebuilt or repaired, only serviced. A great engine!
You mentioned that "Porsche, Subaru and Toyota are the only manufacturers that offer boxer engines", but you forgot BMW who offers several models of their motorcycles with excellent boxer engines.
This is an AMAIZING and deep explanation about engine configurations in the world and you have showed us all of the world's engine configuration, Great Work🤙
The Sherman tank "W-30" engine (by Chrysler) is not really a "W" engine, but rather 5 separate flathead inline 6 engines mounted on a single mounting module, with gears on the flywheels turning a large gear on a central shaft.
I have a 1997 Jeep Cherokee with the good old 4L i6, not very fantastic in terms of speed or power however she gets me through the snow and has so far been very reliable.
This was a great video! i'm a teen studying cars because i dream to be a mechanic one day and this video helped me a lot to understand the different kinds of engines! It's great that you added videos with how they all sound and gave examples and additional information from history! thanks so much!
The Sherman Tank engine was not called a W. It was 5 separate 6-cylinder inline engines (flat head) bolted to a common block (in place of each engines oil pan). It was called a Multi-bank.
@@allangibson8494 Technically 5 engine sub-blocks which were bolted to a central crankcase. They were unable to operate independently as they shared their radiator, water pump, oil pan and oil pumps. 1 engine not 5 different ones.
The opposed piston engine you showed, with added rocker arms and connecting rods, is one I never saw before. I know of the OP engines used in Southern Pacific Railroad locomotives made by Fairbanks Morse. These were used to haul the fast acceleration passenger commuter trains between San Jose and San Francisco, that I rode on. The FM engines had two crankshafts top and bottom geared together with the final drive from the lower shaft. One crankshaft lead the other by 20 degrees. These FM engines were two stroke diesel with a rootes blower to push in air. They had no valves in the cylinders using only ports for intake and exhaust. They did not meet emission standards of the Bay Area Air Quality Management District though and were retired in 1975. I understand the same FM engines were used in marine service, having heard the same sound coming from a tug boat. The "Deltic" opposed piston engine was also mentioned. I have heard of these in some British diesel locomotives. This used three OP engines in an 60 degree triangular formation. Any 1 of the 3 crankshafts were used by 2 adjacent cylinder banks.
You missed a few - the delta and opposed piston engines. The opposed piston engine has the cylinders in between two crankshafts with the pistons pushing towards each other. The delta builds on that by having three cranks and three cylinder banks between the three crankshafts. Junkers developed the opposed piston engines for aircraft use before WW2.
There is another engine that not many have heard, also the most difficult but should be the most efficient, many tried to design and have either failed or had not been to successful, I had a try designing it too
The master of opposed piston engines was junkers. The WWII Jumo 223 and 224 two stroke diesel aeroi engines were rhomboidal, that is a square standing on one edge, with four crankshafts. Look them up, they were magnificent. They never went into production and like the rest of Junkers were shipped to Russia after the en of WWII. The Napier Deltec engines were designed as a delta to fit into the hulls of patrol boats, the delta shape was a much better fit., Napier used Junkers technology that they licensed before WWII. There were compromises with the Deltec, one crankshaft had to turn in the opposite direction to the other two and the angle between the opening of the exhaust and intake ports was not optimal. Nevertheless, they sounded fantastic, especially the big Deltecs. There was no soundtrack for the opposed piston engines, you could use the Deltec but I think the best choice would be the Commer Knocker three cylinder engine, there is a good soundtrack of a Commer Knocker in Sydney. This engine used the arrangement shown in your diagram with only one crankshaft but used rocker arms to transfer the power to the crankshaft
The weirdest I’ve heard about was not featured here, the engine of the British Trojan car. It had 4 cylinders in a square configuration but only two combustion chambers and 2 spark plugs. Basically a twingle engine that’s been doubled. Or you could consider it an opposed piston engine that’s bent in half to use a single crankshaft. It was a quite successful design in the 1920s.
I have 7 cars in total, mostly L4s, including also an L2 (with both pistons moving together instead of alternating, it's a Fiat 126 - similar to the famous 500 - so it's more like a double single cilinder engine..), a 383ci Mopar V8 and a Wankel (Mazda Rx8).
In more detail: 1971 Plymouth Fury III 4dr Hard Top Sedan 383ci (6,3L V8) 2007 Mazda Rx-8 (1,3L Wankel) 1994 Fiat Panda 4x4 with swapped engine (1,2L L4) 1972 Fiat 126 (650cc L2) 1991 Ford Transit (Diesel 2,4L L4) 1985 Citroen CX TRD (Turbo Diesel 2,5L L4) 1997 Citroen Berlingo (Diesel 1,9L L4)
The opposed piston engines in the Junkers 88 of the Germans in the second world war were the only airplanes of the time that could fly across the Atlantic Ocean to South America without having to stop for fuel. The opposed engines made today are amazing, we have computers now.
I'm an aeronautic mechanic, and I've personnally even seen some Radial Engine with multiple stages ! (i don't really remember but it was something like 18 cylinders i think, wich was built as 2 rows / 2 stages, of 9 cylinders each.)
The first petroleum engine was made in Fenny Stratford, Milton Keynes. Petrol was first used to get rid of head lice. And was first used before Mercedes Benz in British vehicles.
there is also 2 and 3 cylinder I-engines, mainly find these on snowmobiles and jetskies. Oh and ya made a pretty big mistake, with 4stroke engines no 2 cylinders are firing at the same time. If 2 or more cylinders are in the upmost position, then at least 1 is on it's exhaust stroke. the 4 strokes are combustion, power, exhaust, intake.

Certain cylinder layouts are combinations of various types. Radials and inlines combine to make star engines. X layout is a form of that. Fan types and inlines combine to make W or Broad Arrow.
I don't comment a lot but this was a very interesting video it had a lot of helpful touches especially for someone who wants to learn (consider selling this in an info series package with more detailed information) For me it's a new year and it's customary to wish each other good things So I wish you a lot of health, happiness and wealth and a lot of success with the page
In U engine or any engine with 2 crankshafts, like 2stroke square4 or 2stroke v4, is bot crankshaft connected to transmission (crank A-transmission gear-crank B) or only one them (crank A-crank B- transmission gear)? Thanks
Yes Axial engines. Either stationary block or rotary are interesting. Actually some were produced and were more or less successful. Michel from Australia comes to mind.
@@stormlord55 The Michel crankless engines were essentially another barrel engine, Michel called the plate "the slant". The difference was that Michell overcame the main issue with the swash plate by using the Michell hydrodynamic thrust bearing. Michell revolutionized ships with his thrust bearing, it was superior in every way to its predecessors. Look A.G.M. Michell up if you don't know of him, apart from the bearings and motors, he was the first person to solve the Reynolds equations for three dimensions. Also, he wrote the seminal paper on structural optimisation before he applied himself to lubrication, unfortunately it was 50 years before it was used, too far ahead of the times. ruclips.net/video/pqUjIZUCXC0/видео.html This shows an experimental aero engine based on Michell's designs.
"Off" If you are not in the right environment this engine (engineering) mech. thing of mine isn't all that inspiring. "On" .... It's an off / on On/oF relationship In my moments in momentum Great video. Explains correct
As in a W engine placed on top of another upside down W engine in the same manner as an "X" engine. I was also thinking of a 4 bank design rather than a 3 bank too. I imagine it would look something close to a "star" or radial engine.
By simply splitting the crown part from its skirt to be operated by a (valvetrain-like) piston-train to pump gases in exhaust and intake strokes for the chamber, the engine completes 4 stroke, deferent in both displacements and periods, in every revolution. This is called differential-stroke cycle (D-cycle). The car engines become small, save >20% fuel and generate >2.5 torque and as much power. Current car engines need only i2, i3, i4 cylinders instead of i4, v6, v8. The D-cycle will be easier to couple with the electric for e-hybrid car.
Everything that I have learned from engineering school has taught me that the one big factor that affects aerodynamics is the shape of the car's exterior. Can you explain how a V6 engine improves a car's aerodynamic performance compared if the same car had an inline 6 or inline 4.
The lower & shorter block can allow for smoother bodywork, if you're willing to make the engine bay a nigh-unrepairable Gordian knot of wiring, hoses, & ductwork. Thankfully, such affronts to good sense aren't practical to manufacture, making it a generally theoretical concern for cars. It's something that *should* have been explained in the video.
The Wankel engine is still the best design in terms of power/ weight and simplicity. I would love it if we could use modern tech to ‘fix’ the drawbacks of the design. You cannot beat the Wankel for efficiency, power and balance of the car it is mounted in.
make sure you skip 15:06 nothing to see there. people who love rotors know this issue but we still buy them modify them and love them until fuel costs price you out of the market lol
There is another not mentioned and I don't know the correct terminalogy, where the pistons are horizontal with the axial shaft that as a fixed slanted disk around it, firing piston to the furthest part of the disk in turn turning the axle round.
This video needs an update. Wankels are making a return in the form of hybrids. Last I heard, which was a couple months ago, Mazda announced they'd be using Wankel rotary engines for some of their upcoming hybrid vehicles. So rotaries aren't completely dead and gone, just not a mainstream public use motor.
I just want to ask about engines V4 and I3, they are quite common too, no? V4 mostly for motorcycles and I3 for some cars, am I right or wrong? Please, someone answer me... This is not supposed to be crtisism
V4 and I3 engines are both used in a variety of vehicles, including motorcycles and cars. V4 engines, which have four cylinders arranged in a V configuration, are commonly used in motorcycles and high-performance cars. I3 engines, which have three cylinders arranged in a inline configuration, are commonly used in smaller cars and some hybrid vehicles. However, it's worth noting that engine configurations can vary and it's not always a hard rule. Some car manufacturers uses V4 engine for small cars and some motorcycle manufacturers use I3 engines.
You missed the DKM Wankel. It's the engine Felix designed and built. When he saw the KKM (the Wankel you displayed) Felix said - "You turned my Thoroughbred into a plow horse".
Not even 30 seconds in and we hit the first outright lie: More pistons = more power. I stopped there. I was looking forward to a bit of light info about these engine configurations.
VR deserved a mention as it uses a single head for the v banks. Also V-Twin engines are in the radial category and I suspect the W3 depicted was really a radial.
I can't recall who but there is an aftermarket engine based on Harley cylinders that is a 3 cylinder fan type. Anazi built 3 cylinder fan engines before WWl.
I make work engines in games sooo idk if i can find my engine here, it's like the x engine but it's like a v engine or w, like take the v engine, cut it from the middle, and rotate the engine top part 180° soo i cannot find my engine here 😭

V4 engines, which have four cylinders arranged in a V configuration, are commonly used in motorcycles and high-performance cars. I3 engines, which have three cylinders arranged in a inline configuration, are commonly used in smaller cars and some hybrid vehicles. However, it's worth noting that engine configurations can vary and it's not always a hard rule. Some car manufacturers uses V4 engine for small cars and some motorcycle manufacturers use I3 engines.
Very beautiful sweet video
"Inline engines are smaller in size and take up less space." Tell that to a Caterpillar C-15.
You missed the DKM Wankel. It's the engine Felix designed and built. When he saw the KKM (the Wankel you displayed) Felix said - "You turned my Thoroughbred into a plow horse".
Not even 30 seconds in and we hit the first outright lie: More pistons = more power. I stopped there. I was looking forward to a bit of light info about these engine configurations.
Yea, pretty sure the Hayabusa engine makes more power than my V6 truck engine.
vr engine? how about Bentleys w12 cuz it isn't like bugattis w16?
"More cylinders you have more power it will made". K24 right now: I'm i a joke to you?
What about radial, deltic, and opposed piston opposed cylinder engines what no those are very large
The Opposed Piston Engine was a T-64 tank :-)
i would have thought there would b a lot more energy lost with all those linkages, vs whats lost by heat via the heads...
How about The Deltic?
Which is best for diesel
good work
Missing A LOT of engine types, these are the basic ones
VR deserved a mention as it uses a single head for the v banks.
Also V-Twin engines are in the radial category and I suspect the W3 depicted was really a radial.
I can't recall who but there is an aftermarket engine based on Harley cylinders that is a 3 cylinder fan type. Anazi built 3 cylinder fan engines before WWl.
I make work engines in games sooo idk if i can find my engine here, it's like the x engine but it's like a v engine or w, like take the v engine, cut it from the middle, and rotate the engine top part 180° soo i cannot find my engine here 😭
You could have used T-64 tank engine, as it is opposed 5 cylinder engine.
There is also the engine used in the Chieftain tank which was a vertical inline 6 cylinder 12 piston 2 stroke diesel.
is the Chrysler A57 counted as a radial engine?
Its more related to the W engine.
Radials have a master and slave rods configuration
