Хотелось бы услышать ответ от человека, который занимается двигателями - от Вас, а не просто зрителя, как большинство здесь присутствующих: разве не правильнее сначала прикручивать болты и лишь потом затягивать с определённым усилием и в определённой последовательности? Обычно, например, 4 болта прикручивают, потом затягивают 2 по диагонали, потом 2 по другой диагонали, разве нет? Я не говорю уже о 40 болтах, которые мы видели на этом видео. Однажды, ещё будучи подростком, я перебирал двигатель автомобиля 1975 года выпуска вместе с отцом - головка блока цилиндров по инструкции затягивалась в определённой последовательности с помощью динамометрического ключа, даже болты поддона картера затягивались не "просто по кругу", а в определённом порядке. У парня определённо "золотые руки", но он не моторист, IMHO.

You're on the leftist side of RUclips then. I just watched a guy last week make over 1000 HP in a naturally aspirated 8 cylinder. Choose better channels.
@@rheaghen I dont think this thing actually ran. 2 strokes dont like sharing exhaust manifolds because they require exhaust gas to be pulled out. 2 strokes get the most power from a tuned exhaust that is timed to the engine rpm.
@@jesseeastwood Ive also seen videos of perpetual motion machines working... despite the obvious fact that such phenomena is impossible without breaking every law of physics.
It would be entirely useless as an engine for a vehicle. The crankshaft is simply too long to sustain any sort of end-load without shearing off or snapping in the middle. The RPM's it would need to turn would well exceed the mechanical limits of his assembly methods. Cool for a demo like this, absolutely! Functional with a load? Absolutely not.
When I first saw the title I just thought you were going to connect the crank shafts of each engine together and then bolt them to like a wood plank or something. I had no idea what I was in for and just how in depth this was going to be. Holy crap is this impressive
Not going to lie.... Ive never seen this channel, so at like 7:30 I was thinking wait a minute this isn't going to work at all its fake. It cant assembled, low and behold the next segment shows me how wrong i was. Well just saw this puppy in half. I never repaired those chinesium cases, but doing repair work on legit manufacturer (honda,yamaha,suzuki usually from lack of chain guard) cases is hard enough. I couldn't imagine on those things.
I can attest that these small engine cases contain some of the dirtiest metal I've ever had to work with in my life! I think I would almost rather weld wrought iron patio furniture than one of these cheap small engine cases LOL
advice from my dad who welds aluminum for the past 10 years is: clean it. use acetone on a white rag and wipe the case with a new rag until the rag stays white. clean anywhere that will get hot from welding, because for some reason the oil gets attracted to the weld and gets sucked into your puddle, even if you perfectly clean just the weld area. that makes porous welds
@@bmxscape I agree with you. You should give welding one of these cases a go. Hell make a youtube video of doing it and you will get some decent views i bet. Im surprised how many likes my comment got honestly lol.
Straight *enough* to last long enough for a few seconds running to get the video... It would sag in the lathe so much he might as well have used his thumb fir measurement. You can see the crank case flexing during machining. The crank shaft is the right size for 1 cylinder, 10 will twist it in half if the engine ever did anything other than idle.
I love tinkering with engines on my spare time and have done so my entire life. The amount of hours put into the engines made on this channel is honestly greatly impressive.
It is. To quote or misquote somebody or other... I'm not impressed it works well but impressed it works at all. I can't see it being possible to take any real power out of the engine without the crank twisting like wet spaghetti but then I don't suppose that's the point of the exercise.
Phenomenal work you’ve done!! A lot of people would just think it’s as easy as connecting the heads and adding a few things but this had to take months to prep! As a lifelong gearhead I’ve gotta say I’m seriously impressed and it sounded amazing in the end!!
People are so trained to say "You can't do that." or "That won't work." and this entire video is just DOING! I love it. Love to see that PrimeWeld machine too. A sub $900 TIG can do all of that. Awesome!
Any engine config no matter how stupid it may sound is probably possible But it has to answer one question once it is real Does it live up to the expectations?
Not too many people could ever plan out, engineer and pull off such an insane amount of work as this. It would have been hard enough just to figure out how to accomplish such an amazing feat. Simply incredible ingenuity and craftsmanship. This guy should be working for NASA!
NASA only hires by DEI now. Just like Boeing. They don't the most skillful person they want the most diversity instead. They even admitted it on an interview.
The basic geometry and timing is well known/documented up to an inline 14 including the cam shaft. No saying it ain't cool or impressive it is - some of the work was already done. Also Like the inline 6 which we all know - that thing he made would be wicked smooth.
Getting the crankshaft from scratch right so it doesn't shake iteself apart, doesn't snap, etc. like this takes a LOT of skill and dedication. Fantastic work!
im amazed , not only did he manage to weld 10 engines together it actually runs & does it well , very little vibration shows its balanced properly too , this man is a very talented engineer & should have x10 the amount of subscribers he has now , i cant wait to see what this is going into.
Thermally it’s probably a disaster. From a mechanical stability point of view, it’s likely to last less than 8 hours of total engine run time, even if it is not used to actually drive a vehicle or perform any work.
@@WarrenPostma It has individual heads so expansion of the block probably won't matter too much. However the harmonics of such a long crank must be crazy. I mean that's the reason straight 8 car engines died out in the 20s/30s. Without load I can see it running much more than 8 hours, underload tho.... Like you said ain't gonna be great
Randomly came across this video. Saw the title and grabbed my 🍿. Then thinking the first ten or so minutes into the video how in the world he’s going to get a crankshaft to work. Blown away it even fired up. The skill it takes just to the firing order in line is an absolute feat! Sounded pretty good. Would love to see individual exhaust pipes with expansion chambers the have them all meet at a single collector. Subscribed.
Most video I don't watch because I see it before or something similar, but I will say this is the first time and probably the last I will see anything like this at the level of expertise, and I know the video doesn't give the same sound like in person, so I love to hear and see it in person. Good video, great workmanship, definitely a 10/10. Great job!
I'm not sure wether I'm jealous or just flat out amazed. This is the coolest thing I've seen in quite a while. This guy is a complete genius and he deserves a medal for this one. And I hope everyone that watches this subscribes for more
you just have to love the simplicity of the two-stroke power per cc is unmatched. i'm trying to find more information on a V-8 two-stroke they were building in Australia, this guy put a lot of effort into this!!! and did a very nice job if you'd like this video check out Alan Millard a motorcycle genius
Thank you for sharing this monster scratch build! Really amazing work! I'm an amateur engine builder and not a pro Machinist, but I may get into it now that I've seen your fun! If I may, I do see a few areas you can give more attention to that will raise the quality of your work and minimise potential for problems... not hating, just sharing 🙂. These include the use of: Torque Patterns; Indexing pins/studs/sleeves, etc; Careful alignment of ram centerline to component centerline prior to pressing; Using a thicker (and evenly distributed) assembly lube and Removing ALL metal shavings, dust, etc. from components, jigs, work area prior to assembly. Again, Thanks!
Awesome! I designed and built the Quarter-Scale Merlin, so I can appreciate the effort. While you were assembling the crankshaft I was thinking about the 8-cylinder Bugatti Type 35, which also had a built-up roller bearing crank, but I don't know how it worked.
This is probably THEE most labor intensive project I’ve ever seen. I love the results though. I learned a ton just watching this video. Such a sweet sound in the end. Boy, if only I had that kind of time and resource. Excellent videography.
I'm thoroughly impressed by several things here... #1- your homemade fixtures and jigs were awesome... specifically the angle grinder 😂 #2- the fact you were able to make this work with all the worn out tooling, and deviations large enough to see them on this video... is mind blowing.
Really quite a surprising piece of work! Surprised me that it actually functioned. The crankshaft, of course, would never survive any kind of load past just accelerating itself, and probably wouldn't stand much of that.
@@ItsDaJax be had a tachometer showing it could already. But it's load that is the issue? However I think the load can balance out because of the firing order of 10 cylinders may be enough to distribute the load in order to not fail as expected? I think 10 cylinders maybe enough? Those couplings if he's made them well and super tight then it could possibly be successful? I personally would have thought drilling out the ends, tap them and then using threaded inserts to lock the ends in alignment and butted up tight face to face and then just filled the V groove with weld then skim on the lathe? But that would require getting each thread depth absolutely perfect in or to but up and have no play or binding in the crank preload? At least with the coupling there is enough gap in between the crank shafts and the alignment is all done via the coupling and also the preload is adjusted by the coupling? Besides that the only option would to be go with a fully redesigned crank cut from billet on a CNC machine? That's a bit much to outlay for something that is technically an experiment? Maybe with the bugs ironed out and it shows potential; then he only needs to spec the crank and get one CNC'd after knowing it works as intended? Theses days 3D Lidar scans are very easy. To do and then some tweaks to the imported 3D model up remove the coupling and reduce that bit of unnecessary spinning mass (will continue to more revs and potentially more HP?) THEN he only needs to fit 10 expansion chambers and reuse the existing pulse configuration only post stinger pipe 👌 Then having a proven billit crank he can slap on a turbo just like those crazy 2 stroke turbo snow mobile dudes with testicles of stainless steel 😲 A RUclips search for " Snow Mobile 3 cylinder 2 stroke turbo" won't disappoint.
Imagine a straight eight two stroke engine firing every 45° of crank rotation, put into a drag car to see what kind of Time Slips you can get with it. That would be a fun adventure. 4 L straight 8, using 8× 500 CC engines
That would have a song so eargasmic that it's almost unimaginable.....but those extra couple of degrees in the firing order + 2 stroke is going to make for some banging interference pulses 🤩
If you’re firing too often it actually reduces grip. That’s why Ducati’s fare better in the wet than inline 4’s and why they kept a V2 like crank angle and firing order for their V4 engines. The main disadvantage is the pulsing shreds your tyres.
@@Jonathan_Doe_ that's because there are too few pulses not too many pulses. If you have more fitting per angle of rotation then there is far less degrees between instances of firing = not enough chance to pulse. The more RPMs and ignition events per rpm then the engine is going to sound more like a rotary than a say a V8 So i disagree with that view for the same reasoning you are using to construct your argument?
The engine fires in pairs probably to minimise torsion and limit clutter of 10 point coil pack (coil pack would otherwise be as long as the crankcase). The exhaust are also paired as to seperate pulses as far as possible before they merge at the plenum. The crank probably wouldn't survive having any work extracted from it but works well to prove a point. You could put magnets into the fly-weights to create a linear array alternator with some way to clean up the freaken high Hz it would put out.
@@BlackJaguar1100 It's a wasted spark ignition system. The coil fires twice per crank rotation. As one piston is on the compression stroke the paired cylinder is on the exhaust stroke. The cylinder on the compression stroke is fired. Since there is no fuel in the cylinder on the exhaust stroke it doesn't matter that the spark plug is being fired at the "wrong" time.
@@ethanlindsey risky if true considering that its a 2-stroke not a 4-stroke where the exhaust & fuel gases are separate in a 4-stroke whereas a 2-stroke they generally are not, by all means i could be wrong on that as ive only studied the tkm 125cc 2-stroke & the jaguar v-12 4-stroke, would love the builders input here to clear up the firing order of their engine
@@boooju I'm not disputing that he has skills - just that he's a "master" machinist. If you had ever seen a master machinist at work, you'd know what I'm referring to.
speechless .... I hope one day a big prestige company can offer you some type of head engineering work , with the right people and funding that skill level would only get better . all the best and amazing videos . well done . master of crafts are not common , you sir are amazing . keep it up.
I think this more of a guy testing his ability & skills. Not nessasarily applying this engine in any application. I'm sure if this guy wanted to, he could forge a crankshaft in his garage, lol
Remember folks, this did not "just work", things never do. He would have almost certainly had a bunch of troubleshooting that we didn't see to get it running. I applaud you, good sir.
Hand tapping the crankshaft is ballsy. One tiny suggestion. When tightening such a long piece like this, try to tighten the bolts from the middle out alternating left to right. That way it better levels any warp (and you know there is a ton in something like this). Very well thought out and executed. That crankshaft alone is nuts. I can GUARANTEE if I did the crank I’d find one of those damn oil seals laying on the bench and have to tear the damn thing apart again.
@@AlabamaConstitutionalCrusader He looks to have an anonymous account, so I checked your channel excited to see your builds, only to be disappointed by obscure redneck vlog content instead of anything that would prove his suggestion wrong.
@@AlabamaConstitutionalCrusader No, it's basic engine building. I was thinking the same thing. Center out, staggered tightening. It's a 101 thing. Comments like yours with all due respect are very ignorant.
THANK YOU!! I just watched him do up all the engine bolts and he tightened other things towards the beginning without considering that, and i KNEW he was going to disregard that again. He just went one by one going until the gun stopped and it killed me lmao. He did a good job with everything else but doesnt bother making sure he tightens bolts properly??? 🙄😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨🤦🏼♂️
Explain why at 37:00 we see the tachometer needle not moving whatsoever yet also see you revving the engine with the throttle and hear it revving. What is with the mis match?
The amount of effort and the skill is simply mind-blowing. Good job, bro. Fantastic! Enjoyed every second. Your machining skills and the patience to do all this outstanding!
A verry very talented individual. The amount of of skill and ingenuity here is next level. If you doubt that then you have zero idea of engineering theory.
@@tyler238 he used to weld with basically car battery's a few years back but he got a sponsor and a proper machine and since his builds have gotten so much better.
You cant weld aluminum with a stick welder. Aluminum has to be welded with alternating current aka a/c. No possible way to stick weld with a/cit has to be direct current.
@@kelevra558 you can stick weld/dc weld aluminum just like you can oxy weld it. The weld is weaker and everything has to be clean and pure, but it can be done. I think the stick rod is e4043 but don't quote me and I've also seen plenty of dc spool guns.
Amazing! Such a complex build but you made it seem effortless. I can only imagine how much time and effort actually went into this build. It’s a work of art.
Fantastic work! Imagine 2 of these in a slightly offset V configuration, fuel injected and turbocharged! Stick into a small-ish car (MX5?) and let them rip
Nice build the carb linkage was brilliant, exhaust looks like art, runs and idles well, difficulty level 10+, thanks for sharing and the time you put into this project👍👍
V8 cant be done because of the nature of 2-strokes, they need one chamber for one piston, but V engines have one chamber for two pistons, thus a two stroke V8 (or any V engine) wouldnt work.
@@e32kV8 2 strokes have been made they made them in outboard boat engines and some people have converted those into car engines there's several videos of them
They have a guy that made a V8 Briggs engine for his riding mower he ran it for a while and now he is converting it to be water cooled and he also made a Briggs radial engine for his push mower
@@FlammableElectronics hey there’s a guy here on yt, his name is doctor D.S. And he combined 2 gx160s and he did a video about electric start, and turboing a single cylinder
This is what happens when very smart men get bored!! 10,000 welding rods, 100,000 hours and a shitload of planning = 1 awesome 10 cylinder 2 stroke!!!!!!
V8 cant be done because of the nature of 2-strokes, they need one chamber for one piston, but V engines have one chamber for two pistons, thus a two stroke V8 (or any V engine) wouldnt work.
Again you're wrong dude. As i said you before, do a look at the modern variety of large two strokes outboard marine engines from builders like Johnson and Yamaha and change your mind. Sure you are thinking in classic american V8 engines where each crank rod pin shares two rods. Obviously such configuration don't allows two strokes V type engines. But, maybe are you thing the "impossible" twin common chamber you figure can be easily divided via a "center wall" with an oil seal through?. Also, in modern large gasoline two stroke engines (outboard marine engines), the crank chamber is no more used to precompressing the air/gas/oil mixture while the piston runs downwards. No, here the air/gas mixture is prepared seaparately with a specific pump. No more carbs, no more previous 2T oil/gas manual mixtures in the fuel tank. Nowadays, all of these things are all electronicaly managed and injected separatally by its respective injection systems and dedicated pumps.
I really enjoy watching people fabricate things together to see if they will work. This was pretty awesome. It's amazing what people can achieve with tools and machine tools. This probably took months. I cant imagine how much patience you need to make this many parts. This was truly awesome. Great work👍 so Incredible coming up with a way to join the full crank shaft.
Incredible video. Very satisfying being able to see the entire process, without constant music or talking. The camera angles were spot on to see all the detail. Awesome engine too, I'd love to see it put in some kind of small custom vehicle for it
That’s crazy on all levels the sound is to die for and the craftsmanship is unreal but I love you idea on linking the throttle s together keep up the brilliant work
I love videos like this that have no dialog, no subtitles, and cameras on tripods, cause you can watch them at 4x speed and turn a 40 minute video into a 10 minute video. Perfect for people like me with ADHD.
Getting the crankshaft right is skill level highest. Unbelievable work.
Isn’t the crankshaft and pistons and everything all one big shaft? Idk I don’t even understand how it fires in time. Amazing.😮
@@jameslund221 Crankshaft holds the rods and pistons. He set the timing manually on the lathe by rotating the shaft to the correct position while setting each bank. you can see that here at 21:47.

advice from my dad who welds aluminum for the past 10 years is: clean it. use acetone on a white rag and wipe the case with a new rag until the rag stays white. clean anywhere that will get hot from welding, because for some reason the oil gets attracted to the weld and gets sucked into your puddle, even if you perfectly clean just the weld area. that makes porous welds
@@baltazard133T I 1000000% agree. Man it was like welding match heads. FIZZ. The man.
@@bmxscape I agree with you. You should give welding one of these cases a go. Hell make a youtube video of doing it and you will get some decent views i bet. Im surprised how many likes my comment got honestly lol.
How you built that crankshaft is wild. The fact that it came out straight enough is mind blowing.
I was amazed at how straight that turned out, seeing him rotate it by hand with ease really showed that it was more or less perfect.
With a lathe, dial gauge and perfection at front of mind anything can be made straight enough. Very impressive none the less
Just getting em clocked right too, and milling the collars to connect em, this is one cool cat
Straight *enough* to last long enough for a few seconds running to get the video...
It would sag in the lathe so much he might as well have used his thumb fir measurement.
You can see the crank case flexing during machining.
The crank shaft is the right size for 1 cylinder, 10 will twist it in half if the engine ever did anything other than idle.
@@dougaltolan3017good thing he can make motor mounts to then.
I love tinkering with engines on my spare time and have done so my entire life. The amount of hours put into the engines made on this channel is honestly greatly impressive.
a 500cc 2 stroke inline 10 sounds so crazy, would love to see it with a gearbox in some vehicle.
an inline10 2stroke has 10 exhaust-pipes... This has only one ...!!!
@@klausbrinck2137 What are you talking about?
Those pistons looked bigger than 50cc to me. More like 100/125cc in my not at all expert opinion.
@@klausbrinck2137 You can see there is a complex manifold taking the 10 exhausts, one from each cylinder and combining them into a single muffler.
@@klausbrinck2137 an inline 10 2 stroke has 10 cylinders, in a line
that is one of the best sounding 2-strokes ive ever heard, and so much clever engineering
This is incredible: 0% practical application, yet 100% awesome 👌
Large ten-cylinder engines are common on large ships, such as container ships.
It is. To quote or misquote somebody or other... I'm not impressed it works well but impressed it works at all.
I can't see it being possible to take any real power out of the engine without the crank twisting like wet spaghetti but then I don't suppose that's the point of the exercise.
I can see this in a small land speed racer.
zero percent?? Well,i guess your blender isnt t broken!!

Phenomenal work you’ve done!! A lot of people would just think it’s as easy as connecting the heads and adding a few things but this had to take months to prep!
As a lifelong gearhead I’ve gotta say I’m seriously impressed and it sounded amazing in the end!!
People are so trained to say "You can't do that." or "That won't work." and this entire video is just DOING! I love it. Love to see that PrimeWeld machine too. A sub $900 TIG can do all of that. Awesome!
Any engine config no matter how stupid it may sound is probably possible
But it has to answer one question once it is real
Does it live up to the expectations?
@@ServeraServera0 Hard to know until you test it.
I'm a woodworker and watched this entire thing, while understanding 10% of it. It was calming and inspiring. 10/10. Great video.
Not too many people could ever plan out, engineer and pull off such an insane amount of work as this. It would have been hard enough just to figure out how to accomplish such an amazing feat. Simply incredible ingenuity and craftsmanship. This guy should be working for NASA!
NASA only hires by DEI now. Just like Boeing. They don't the most skillful person they want the most diversity instead. They even admitted it on an interview.
garage 54 could
The basic geometry and timing is well known/documented up to an inline 14 including the cam shaft. No saying it ain't cool or impressive it is - some of the work was already done. Also Like the inline 6 which we all know - that thing he made would be wicked smooth.
NASA? Hardly.
Nope, NASA is too fake, this guy is the real deal...
Put up on display ...small auto custom musuem ...will be an inspiration for many autoenthusiasts. Incredible engineering ...appreciate heartily.
Best one yet! That crankshaft is insane.
That was masterful honestly. I was skeptical at first but it was straight as an arrow, amazing craftsmanship.
I am obsessed with this! I love the repetitive nature of this build having to make the same small thing 10 times and put them all together!
This thing is awesome, idles so smooth and has a V8 chop when you gave it some throttle. Brilliant
Getting the crankshaft from scratch right so it doesn't shake iteself apart, doesn't snap, etc. like this takes a LOT of skill and dedication. Fantastic work!
im amazed , not only did he manage to weld 10 engines together it actually runs & does it well , very little vibration shows its balanced properly too , this man is a very talented engineer & should have x10 the amount of subscribers he has now , i cant wait to see what this is going into.
Thermally it’s probably a disaster. From a mechanical stability point of view, it’s likely to last less than 8 hours of total engine run time, even if it is not used to actually drive a vehicle or perform any work.
@@WarrenPostma It has individual heads so expansion of the block probably won't matter too much. However the harmonics of such a long crank must be crazy. I mean that's the reason straight 8 car engines died out in the 20s/30s.
Without load I can see it running much more than 8 hours, underload tho.... Like you said ain't gonna be great
@@matthewclarke1185Even with the dampening of a boat prop?
Randomly came across this video. Saw the title and grabbed my 🍿. Then thinking the first ten or so minutes into the video how in the world he’s going to get a crankshaft to work. Blown away it even fired up. The skill it takes just to the firing order in line is an absolute feat! Sounded pretty good. Would love to see individual exhaust pipes with expansion chambers the have them all meet at a single collector. Subscribed.
This sounds grand! I'm picturing it in 1/2 scale Italian vanished wooden motorboat 🤗
Oh that would be so out of sight cool man wow 😳
Most video I don't watch because I see it before or something similar, but I will say this is the first time and probably the last I will see anything like this at the level of expertise, and I know the video doesn't give the same sound like in person, so I love to hear and see it in person. Good video, great workmanship, definitely a 10/10. Great job!
This is a great example of 2 stroke engineering. No valve train and timing issues to deal with awesome!!
I'm not sure wether I'm jealous or just flat out amazed. This is the coolest thing I've seen in quite a while. This guy is a complete genius and he deserves a medal for this one. And I hope everyone that watches this subscribes for more
you just have to love the simplicity of the two-stroke power per cc is unmatched. i'm trying to find more information on a V-8 two-stroke they were building in Australia, this guy put a lot of effort into this!!! and did a very nice job if you'd like this video check out Alan Millard a motorcycle genius
Thank you for sharing this monster scratch build! Really amazing work! I'm an amateur engine builder and not a pro Machinist, but I may get into it now that I've seen your fun! If I may, I do see a few areas you can give more attention to that will raise the quality of your work and minimise potential for problems... not hating, just sharing 🙂. These include the use of: Torque Patterns; Indexing pins/studs/sleeves, etc; Careful alignment of ram centerline to component centerline prior to pressing; Using a thicker (and evenly distributed) assembly lube and Removing ALL metal shavings, dust, etc. from components, jigs, work area prior to assembly. Again, Thanks!
Most people are impressed by the balancing but I’m impressed with the firing sequence
Yup, I still dont understand it.
Pretty sure they are all firing at the same time like a Harley
@@quantumss it is a 2 cyl wastepark by 5, thats why the order repeat it self
@@tobytwiss i dont know how ignition on harleys work, but this being a wastespark fires 2 times, and this has 5 of those systems
Yes! Absolutely!!!
Awesome! I designed and built the Quarter-Scale Merlin, so I can appreciate the effort. While you were assembling the crankshaft I was thinking about the 8-cylinder Bugatti Type 35, which also had a built-up roller bearing crank, but I don't know how it worked.
Go blow ya trumpet on your own channel
This is probably THEE most labor intensive project I’ve ever seen. I love the results though. I learned a ton just watching this video. Such a sweet sound in the end. Boy, if only I had that kind of time and resource. Excellent videography.
I'm thoroughly impressed by several things here...
#1- your homemade fixtures and jigs were awesome... specifically the angle grinder 😂
#2- the fact you were able to make this work with all the worn out tooling, and deviations large enough to see them on this video... is mind blowing.
And, by the looks of it, with all used/recycled parts.
Really quite a surprising piece of work! Surprised me that it actually functioned. The crankshaft, of course, would never survive any kind of load past just accelerating itself, and probably wouldn't stand much of that.
The much larger straight eights in cars were low revving engines, if this was well built enough, it might rev to 7k or so.
@@ItsDaJax be had a tachometer showing it could already. But it's load that is the issue? However I think the load can balance out because of the firing order of 10 cylinders may be enough to distribute the load in order to not fail as expected? I think 10 cylinders maybe enough? Those couplings if he's made them well and super tight then it could possibly be successful?
I personally would have thought drilling out the ends, tap them and then using threaded inserts to lock the ends in alignment and butted up tight face to face and then just filled the V groove with weld then skim on the lathe?
But that would require getting each thread depth absolutely perfect in or to but up and have no play or binding in the crank preload? At least with the coupling there is enough gap in between the crank shafts and the alignment is all done via the coupling and also the preload is adjusted by the coupling? Besides that the only option would to be go with a fully redesigned crank cut from billet on a CNC machine? That's a bit much to outlay for something that is technically an experiment? Maybe with the bugs ironed out and it shows potential; then he only needs to spec the crank and get one CNC'd after knowing it works as intended?
Theses days 3D Lidar scans are very easy. To do and then some tweaks to the imported 3D model up remove the coupling and reduce that bit of unnecessary spinning mass (will continue to more revs and potentially more HP?)
THEN he only needs to fit 10 expansion chambers and reuse the existing pulse configuration only post stinger pipe 👌
Then having a proven billit crank he can slap on a turbo just like those crazy 2 stroke turbo snow mobile dudes with testicles of stainless steel 😲
A RUclips search for " Snow Mobile 3 cylinder 2 stroke turbo" won't disappoint.
Imagine a straight eight two stroke engine firing every 45° of crank rotation, put into a drag car to see what kind of Time Slips you can get with it. That would be a fun adventure. 4 L straight 8, using 8× 500 CC engines
That would have a song so eargasmic that it's almost unimaginable.....but those extra couple of degrees in the firing order + 2 stroke is going to make for some banging interference pulses 🤩
Each cylinder being 500cc for a 4-litre lump, hell yes.
If you’re firing too often it actually reduces grip. That’s why Ducati’s fare better in the wet than inline 4’s and why they kept a V2 like crank angle and firing order for their V4 engines.
The main disadvantage is the pulsing shreds your tyres.
@@Jonathan_Doe_ that's because there are too few pulses not too many pulses. If you have more fitting per angle of rotation then there is far less degrees between instances of firing = not enough chance to pulse. The more RPMs and ignition events per rpm then the engine is going to sound more like a rotary than a say a V8
So i disagree with that view for the same reasoning you are using to construct your argument?
A work of mechanical art! The crankcase alone was incredible. That manifold was the final brushstroke of Michelangelo.
The engine fires in pairs probably to minimise torsion and limit clutter of 10 point coil pack (coil pack would otherwise be as long as the crankcase). The exhaust are also paired as to seperate pulses as far as possible before they merge at the plenum. The crank probably wouldn't survive having any work extracted from it but works well to prove a point. You could put magnets into the fly-weights to create a linear array alternator with some way to clean up the freaken high Hz it would put out.
I was wondering if the pistons where paired judging by the number of coil packs, at least this confirms my own project has grounds to work aswell
honda 160 - had 1 set of points.
*freaking.
@@BlackJaguar1100 It's a wasted spark ignition system. The coil fires twice per crank rotation. As one piston is on the compression stroke the paired cylinder is on the exhaust stroke. The cylinder on the compression stroke is fired. Since there is no fuel in the cylinder on the exhaust stroke it doesn't matter that the spark plug is being fired at the "wrong" time.
@@ethanlindsey risky if true considering that its a 2-stroke not a 4-stroke where the exhaust & fuel gases are separate in a 4-stroke whereas a 2-stroke they generally are not, by all means i could be wrong on that as ive only studied the tkm 125cc 2-stroke & the jaguar v-12 4-stroke, would love the builders input here to clear up the firing order of their engine
inline 10 2 stroke is a motor i never thought i would ever see. this thing is impressive and the work that went into it

Starting and idling is one thing. Putting it under a load and trying to use it is another.
tagreed - that crankshaft wouldn't be capable of delivering the power it shoud lbe able to generate.
I think this more of a guy testing his ability & skills. Not nessasarily applying this engine in any application. I'm sure if this guy wanted to, he could forge a crankshaft in his garage, lol
Cooling it would be fun.

Respect to you friend. Where there is a will.....there is a way. Well done!! Enjoyed your craftmanship immensely.
👍 He makes it look easy.
Hand tapping the crankshaft is ballsy.
One tiny suggestion. When tightening such a long piece like this, try to tighten the bolts from the middle out alternating left to right. That way it better levels any warp (and you know there is a ton in something like this). Very well thought out and executed. That crankshaft alone is nuts. I can GUARANTEE if I did the crank I’d find one of those damn oil seals laying on the bench and have to tear the damn thing apart again.
You trying to school the only person to ever build an inline 2 stroke 10 cylinder is hilarious lets see your builds 😂

He just went one by one going until the gun stopped and it killed me lmao. He did a good job with everything else but doesnt bother making sure he tightens bolts properly??? 🙄😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨🤦🏼♂️

You cant weld aluminum with a stick welder. Aluminum has to be welded with alternating current aka a/c. No possible way to stick weld with a/cit has to be direct current.
@@WillBilly. love to see the come up! Very nice, I haven’t been here long

V8 cant be done because of the nature of 2-strokes, they need one chamber for one piston, but V engines have one chamber for two pistons, thus a two stroke V8 (or any V engine) wouldnt work.
Again you're wrong dude. As i said you before, do a look at the modern variety of large two strokes outboard marine engines from builders like Johnson and Yamaha and change your mind. Sure you are thinking in classic american V8 engines where each crank rod pin shares two rods. Obviously such configuration don't allows two strokes V type engines. But, maybe are you thing the "impossible" twin common chamber you figure can be easily divided via a "center wall" with an oil seal through?. Also, in modern large gasoline two stroke engines (outboard marine engines), the crank chamber is no more used to precompressing the air/gas/oil mixture while the piston runs downwards. No, here the air/gas mixture is prepared seaparately with a specific pump. No more carbs, no more previous 2T oil/gas manual mixtures in the fuel tank. Nowadays, all of these things are all electronicaly managed and injected separatally by its respective injection systems and dedicated pumps.
