    That Lanz Buldog with it's Hot Bulb was incredible! Next to it the beautiful Square four - that was a fabled engine even when I was a kid. Aerial made some really advanced bikes and engines: water cooled, Shaft drive, belt driven all way ahead of the time. But for me the Lanz for the win.

    A clever guy in America has recreated an efficient 2 - stroke high - revving diesel engine that uses minimal parts , I think it has 3 vertical cylinders , 2 opposed pistons in each , supercharged , crankshafts top & bottom linked up by a heavy roller chain , I left him a message by e - mail to try to get a look at a Commer "Knocker" engine , as he , I believe , has modernised & re - created it . I knew a guy who drove one of these daily , in a car transporter , they always have their own note , you knew he was home 1/2 a mile away ! . The commer one used to wear out quickly , due to the complex oscillating linkages between the con - rods & the one central underslung crankshaft , these engines always sound as if they are screaming when you rev them , actually they aren,t turning over any faster than a 4 - stroke , just firing on every T.D.C. instead of every second one . Happy Spanners .

    This video should be retitled "Unusual successful engines". There is nothing strange about a modified VW engine, built in large numbers. There is nothing strange about the Lanz Bulldog - hot bulb semi-diesel engines were once very common, from various manufacturers.
    The video refers to the Commer Knocker as supercharged - this is an incorrect use of the term. 2-stroke engines, unless loop-scavenged like a lawnmower or whipper-snipper (which are VERY fuel inefficient and burn oil), cannot suck in air. Therefore the air has to be driven in by a fan or air pump. Supercharging is the forcing in of air at above atmospheric pressure, which may or may not apply to 2-stroke engines.
    A really strange engine is the Sarich orbital engine - in fact it is so strange, completely stupid actually, it exists only as a museum exhibit, badly worn after just 10 minutes or so operation.

    @richardvaughn2705 6 лет назад +4

    The lanz bulldog, as a hot bulb 2 stroke, is capable of idling at 0 rpm.
    This is because fuel is injected at BDC. So basically with the throttle adjusted so low that the engine cant overcome compression, it bounces back and forth between TDC in each direction (the engine reverses back and forth never making a full rotation).
    The fuel is injected into the hot bulb (a heated area that both vaporizes the fuel and causes the white oil smoke to start burning) where it combusts from high heat and compression where it shoots through a tiny hole into the cylinder which causes the piston to move. The tiny path between the hot bulb and the cylinder causes restriction which makes the pressure increase rapidly because of the vaporizing and burning oil which causes the entirety of the fuel oil to combust.
    This allows a hot bulb engine to have the pressures required to burn fuel oil without needing a high compression ratio. The time it takes for the pressure to build in the hot bulb and move into the cylinder means that the engine has to be designed to run at a limited rpm range.
    A diesel engine is a modern alternative that uses high compression (double that of a gasoline engine) and injects the fuel using high pressure at TDC into the hot compressed air which combusts it.
    A diesel can be started cold, but a hot bulb engine needs to have the hot bulb heated cherry red for 10 to 30 minites on even a warm day before it will start.

      Why are you guys trying to make a misleading distinction between blower-scavenged two-stroke diesels and other supercharged engines? If the pressure in the intake manifold is > 1 atm when the intake port opens, it is, BY DEFINITION, supercharged. Whether it's done by necessity (as in a two-stroke diesel) or just for more power output (as in a four-stroke application) doesn't change the technical definition of supercharging. While the creator of this video clearly isn't very knowledgeable, I'm afraid you guys are the ones guilty of "promulgating ignorance" here.

      A 6-stroke engine was originally built to get around the Otto 4 stroke patents at the end of the 1800's.It introduced an extra cycle of intake and exhaust of fresh air - no fuel or ignition. As soon as the Otto patents expired it was dropped as it had no advantage over a 4 stroke.

      The intake valve stays closed, the exhaust valve opens at BDC for an exhaust stroke of spent steam, and then at TDC the next gas intake stroke begins. So the succession of three revolutions and two power strokes is:
      1st revolution: Gas intake, gas compression, ignition at TDC; =>
      2nd revolution: Gas power, gas exhaust, injection of distilled water at TDC; =>
      3rd revolution: Steam power, steam exhaust; (and repeat the whole thing) =>

      Square, or twin row engines, as a square is in essence a twin row eninge with two crankshafts, I worked on a Sulzer 12LDA28, which is a 12 cylinder twin crankshaft design, it's a large marine/railway diesel engine and engineers thought 2 crankshafts should handdle the vast amount of torque better than a V configuration with shared cranks or fork and blade rods.
      The idea in the Ariel square four was to get a more balanced running engine, problem was the air cooling of the rear cylinders however, it works better in a liquid cooled configuration.

    Commer knocker is not supercharged. Just because a motor has a Roots type blower on it doesn't mean it is supercharged ffs!
    It is blower scavenged. 2 stroke Diesels or Uniflow Diesels need a blower to aspirate them and scavenge exhaust from the cylinder since there's no dedicated exhaust and intake stroke.

      Patrick Taylor. It most certainly is a rotary engine.

      Upon further research i stand corrected, so apparently what we commonly call a rotary engine (the wankle engine) is actually a rotar engine?, something about a mistranslation or some such nonsense. Always have seen these types of engines refered to as radial engines, so my mistake.

    • @dickietuttle

      The Gnome Rhone, though it is of radial configuration, is a true rotary engine. The pistons are not accelerated up and down in the bores as in a reciprocating engine since the crankshaft is stationary. The Porsche error is inexcusable.

    • @Baribrotzer
      @Baribrotzer 6 лет назад +15

      If it's the Bruce Crower six-stroke, it has an extra cycle after the power cycle in which an injector squirts distilled water into the cylinder at TDC. This flashes into steam, and provides an extra power stroke as well as cooling the engine.
      This essentially makes a second use of the fuel, and gets more power from the same amount of it. However, it needs another tank about the size of the fuel tank for the water, and obviously adds complexity.

    • @Tom-Lahaye
      @Tom-Lahaye 6 лет назад

      What makes it an internal combustion steam engine, but do the valves stay closed during that steam cycle then? Otherwise it still will suck in fuel as the shown engine is a carburated one from a Honda Cub 50cc moped.

    I bet the Commer Knocker is like a Detroit, and therefore not technically supercharged. The 'superchargers' on 2-stroke Detroits are really only superchargers when adapted for use on 4-stroke engines, as they aren't there to create 'boost'. They're scavenge pumps, since 2-stroke diesels can't suck air or get rid of their spent gases (and therefore can't run) under atmospheric pressure. Not being a knowitall, I just thought it was cool when I learned it and thought I'd share in case someone else might not know.
