      The problem with this channel is they literally don’t understand what this engine or engines are! There was never a “stock model” so doing base line NA runs is kinda difficult….he’s trying to make crazy hi hp with 50cc! It’s more of like throwing everything at it and see where the hp really starts to get crazy then go deeper into the theory! Yea nice smooth running engine would be nice but that can happen later after we see 30hp!

    As an old Detroit Diesel guy.. Shimming in and out the helical gears on the rotors sets the clearance between the lobes. We had a puller that would pull both gears at the same time so the rotors would not crash against each other. I suggest you use feelers gauges to measure the gaps between the lobes on the rotors. You can split the clearance evenly between the lobes or bias the clearance to one side or the other. Start watching this video at 13 minutes to see how the rotors are timed with shims under the gears. ruclips.net/video/T-lCAhEyZdU/видео.html

    I can't remember whether l previously informed you of the adjustable expansion portion of the exhaust pipe that we created during go kart racing days. But we created a two part exhaust system where the expansion portion of the exhaust pipe was a sleeve that could expand or contract mechanically with a cable connected to the accelerator cable. We had a lot of success until it was banned by the racing association. With modern servos it would be much easier these days to achieve this concept. Good luck with your endeavours.

    When you do go back to the blower set up you really need an intake plenum to give the air pressure somewhere to build up between pulses especially because it's a single cylinder and significantly reduce the risk of backfire damage. I definitely think you should use the rotrex for smoother air flow as every production super charged 2 stroke ever has used a centrifugal type blower except large diesel truck engines. You are certainly getting back on the right path but you already had many problems with the roots style blower so don't make the mistake of wasting time with it again just run the rotrex with a larger pully to reduce the speed and bring the pressure where you need it. Love the videos man keep up the great work your passion is truly inspiring

    • @charade993
      @charade993 5 месяцев назад +3

      I agree. I suggested this previously. When the port is closed, the blower is essentially 'dead heading' which causes massive power consumption and pressure pulses.
      When the port does open for that small time, the pressure probably drops very quickly due to the small volume.
      Even by packing the crank case, i dont see there being enough.
      The problem with a bigger is more fuel/air underpressure to ignite on a backfire...

    • @nerd1000ify
      @nerd1000ify 5 месяцев назад +3

      Blow out panels are probably needed to vent the pressure in case of a backfire. Even better would be to inject fuel into the transfer ports so no combustible mixture is present in the plenum or crankcase.

That's why I've been following your channel for years now and I hope you will succeed in your goal, but I only have one piece of advice: keep it simple and work on perfection. A few tips: 2 piston rings in 1 groove to get a better seal to get a higher compression? Also less hohning of the cylinder to get better lubrication?
    Good luck,

    just one more idea. in the quest to reduce losses, and help the engine drive a supercharger, wouldn't ceramic bearings make sense ? I'm thinking not only in the super charger, but potentially everywhere.
    they are lighter , harder, of course more efficient and hardly require any lubrication, longer lasting under proper operation. downsides cost and high load rating. two strokes are more about high rev, more strokes, peak torque is quite low. ceramic bearing are expensive, but maybe a partnership could bring cost down.

    Yes, yes, yes! You gave up too quickly on the drum valves when the chain bound up. Maybe put timing marks on the shaft/gears of the roots blower, now that it looks like you have them in alignment!! One of the most important things I have in my laboratory is the series of notebooks where I write down the results from each day's ideas and experiments. They get used so that we don't repeat past mistakes, and have lots of save points to return to when something doesn't pan out. It can be a pain to get into the habit of keeping notes like that, but for us has been super valuable, time after time.

    I think by the time youve finished if the goal is the worlds fastest two stroke youd be better building a i4 with tiny 12.5cc pistons at least your removing the complexity of getting the supercharger to work i mean you got one cylinder cast already and some crank cases machined youd just have to make some crazy mini expansion chambers.you already know how to get a single cylinder making good power its just 4 times more cylinders and smaller and even though youd have the complexity with more cylinders you wouldn't have the issues with the rest of the stuff.if a 90s nsr500 made approx 200hp 40hp should be achievable and it would probably weigh less than with the blower and it would rev to something insane like 30000rpm😂😂😂 my calcs are way out but it would be a cool project

  • @swicked86

    Thank you for not over thinking of that complex setup.
    I'll repeat what I'm thinking because i get clarity each time. The engine needs the exhaust port at the bottom of the stroke and minimal overlap. A valve at the intake port to prevent ignition of a pressurized surge tank.
    I actually think you can increase overlap to ignite in the exhaust like a anti lag. Though i wouldn't run that experiment until later. I think i turbo is really the way to get this done.
    Love watching the crazy ideas!

      I'm not at expert just someone that likes to tinker and visualize in my head.
      I don't even know what to think about not having to run fuel under the piston. I'm guessing the pressure ratio could go quite high. So even if you lose 25% of the cylinder capacity so go down from 16 to 12 HP but at 4 bar pressure you'll be at 12hp + (36hp * .65compressor efficiency) = 35.4 HP

      Did actually start building it once (based on a 1250 sigma engine) but bottled it when I needed a very odd set of pistons made. Poppet valves were going to limit engine speed to 6-7k max though. Rotary valves possible but I never got near that.

    Problem with superchargers is like you said they use power to work, thats why only big powerful engines usually run them, probably you need at least 10-15hp for that roots type so when you produce 22hp the blower takes away half your power .the turbo is much more free running but it has it's own problems and complications with oil feed and so on.

    Its sad that they did not spline those blower shafts to ensure they don't slip when hit by a backfire.
    A burst disk would be a pain, sure, but also would be less hassle than repositioning the blower lobes every time.
    Also, they make spring operated backfire lids that can relieve instantaneous bursts of pressure, without actually needing to be replaced.

    I always love the general "let's try this weird s*** for power" vibe of the channel. That said I'm glad you are taking a step back from the turbo jet setup, while watching I was thinking that your concept of volume/pressure relationship didn't match up to what I had learned of physics. I didn't mention it then because I assumed I was wrong, but figured it was worth mentioning here in the follow up. Can't wait to see what the brute force does this time.

    If you ever decide to begin from a new starting-point for getting maximum power from a two stroke, it may be worth considering going for a uniflow design. I'm curious how an opposed piston design will do at high revs.

    In turbo feed small engines they use a small tank on the intake side to cushion the over pressure when the intake is closed. This might be effective also for this engine?

    Hi, just to give you another qrazy idea that might work; Build a SLIDE VALVE 2 stroke supercharged engine! ! Have a look at old english aircraftengines as the Napier Sabre, use the slide valve idea to make the intake and exhaust ports. That will give you a high rpm engine with low friction . Good luck. :) :)

    Most would-be designers or inventors probably get put off at the first hurdle ie: failure.
    Your tenacity (that you see as holding the project back) is exactly the reason why so many of us can sympathise and relate to you.

    Alex; I hope the info below is helpful in your thoughts on this project....
    I think it would be valuable to take a metered approach to looking at how you want to make the HP (if your of 30HP goal remains then how can this be most easily achieved / what info can be benchmarked from existing technology / what limitations are well understood). I know this sounds a bit vague / esoteric, but I'm trying to articulate you have 3-levers to play with (induction-supercharging, chemical-supercharging, and RPM), and how effective each factor will be is very dependent on the volumetric efficiency the engine can achieve / how durable the engine will be at the required BMEP level.
    #Simply-Put (FUEL); Nitromethane & N02 can both increase power by a factor of +2X when only required to run for several seconds, but for a Bonneville run lasting over a minute the metered approach would be to much lower quantities of these oxidizers / assume +0.5X to +0.8X HP for example.
    #Simply-Put (BOOST); Roots-superchargers & twin-screw designs can be relitively efficient at 1-BAR of boost, and a lot of centrifugal-superchargers efficiency begins to wain at 2-BAR of boost (outliers exist in both cases), so assuming a +1 to +2-BAR (gauge) cap on boost pressure is a metered approach.
    #Simply-Put (RPM); 50cc 2T's can achieve stratospheric RPM's, though stronger (ie: heavier) internal components may be necessary to reliably handle the increased cylinder pressures, which could further limit max RPM's, which then requires even higher BMEP's in order to make the same HP at the lowered RPM threshold (a metered approach may be to limit peak-power-RPM 10K to 13K and prioritize trapping VE% / durability [instead of max-PRM]).
    Given you could drive the supercharger via. an external power source (so it didn't consume any of the engines power), it seems 30HP is achievable without super-experimental means (using different combinations of the example factor thresholds ABOVE)......see examples BELOW:
    (Goal-30HP Estimates-LOW)
    -Base Engine N/A =>>> 10HP
    -Boost vs. N/A effect = 10HP*[(14.70+14.7)/14.7] =>>> 20HP
    -Nitro / NO2 effect = 20HP+(20*0.5) =>>> 30HP
    -Reserve HP for losses =>>> 0.0HP for Supercharger Drive
    (Goal-30HP Estimates-MID)
    -Base Engine N/A =>>> 10HP
    -Boost vs. N/A effect = 10HP*[(22.05+14.7)/14.7] =>>> 25HP
    -Nitro / NO2 effect = 25HP+(25*0.6) =>>> 40HP
    -Reserve HP for losses =>>> 10HP for Supercharger Drive
    (Goal-30HP Estimates-HIGH)
    -Base Engine N/A =>>> 10HP
    -Boost vs. N/A effect = 10HP*[(29.40+14.7)/14.7] =>>> 30HP
    -Nitro / NO2 effect = 30HP+(30*0.8) =>>> 54HP
    -Reserve HP for losses =>>> 24HP for Supercharger Drive
    Multiple combinations of the "LOW/MIND/HIGH-estimates" for the 3-primary factors can theoretically achieve over 30HP with varying amounts of reserve HP left-over for the super-charger, BUT the factor that gets the most focus/priority largely sets how difficult, costly, timely, and durable this project will become.
    I think more videos discussing the different ways you theoretically achieve 30HP could help garner more understanding from people on all the different factors / uncertainties involved, and it would give time for progress in the garage without a weekly deadline....ex: one video about VE% and BMEP could show people that its NOT just about airflow / boost exclusively (it's about trapping-eff and why its much more difficult to achieve on a 2-stroke vs 4-stroke.
    Best of luck and well wishes.

    Look for composite reeds (or composite panels) that are made with thermoplastic resin/binder. Thermoset resin is much more susceptible to softening which I’m sure you know. PEEK or other high melt temp thermoplastic resins would be my first choice. How thick are the composite reeds you have used? Do you know how many layers of carbon fabric are used and their orientation to each other?

    Do a side by side build? Build the other engine with the compressor wheel and rotary drum valves and the original super charged rotary disk?
    If one engine needs some thinking time, jump to the other. I think you will find the right path but need to relax and slow down.
    I would probably try to simplify it and design it like a nitro engine with rotary intake through the cank into the crank case, that would sing and would be easy to add chu chu chu.

    This sounds better. You don't even have a runner currently. Build a runner and build it on sound principles. There is no need to reinvent the wheel. All the experimenting with 2 strokes has been done. Start with a runner then make slow changes and observe the results. Without a bonafide framework to build your engine on, it's no different than throwing darts from a carousel with a blindfold on and expecting to hit the target.
