I put Koenigsegg’s Freevalve Tech on a Harbor Freight Engine - PorscheCart Engine Build Continued
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 окт 2024
- From here It’s getting serious. I might try it out on a spare V8 or an engine that’s not just a single next before I get to work on the rest of the engine. I’m going to be perfecting this over the next few weeks and ironing out the code and the limitations in the processor- Who knows, I might put that year of a CS degree to work and build a self learning valve optimization plan.
I also want to work on the solenoid design, as that’s a bit more interesting than just copying Freevalve.
This is in the early stages of prototyping- but all of the files for this project are open and available to download. I’ll be updating this as I go along and will update the files and the code accordingly. For now, they can be found here. I’m always open to getting other opinions, so I welcome you to download and improve them.

@@alphaforce6998 ur name is alpha force and ur pfp is a wolf. I think that says enough but if it doesn't koenigsegg didn't invent freevalve technology for no reason, at high rpms valves are open for less time which restricts air flow. Free valve technology allows for the valves to be open longer, increasing airflow and increasing power.
@@krazyira8140 What do you have a against wolves? Did you know that dogs are just wolves who gave up?
You're missing the point I made in my comment, because certain engines may benefit from more air flow, but it's not just a matter of valve duration it is about the maximum flow potential of the heads themselves, as well as the exhaust. Some engines will respond really well to heads, cam, and headers - i.e. most stock V8 engines...but not a dinky mower engine.

Lot's of people have amputated their limbs, that does not make them surgeons.
Lots of engineers designed garbage that fell down or exploded, but by and large they skate, and remain engineers just because they got a gentleman’s C while drinking in class. But man they can’t wait to tell you about that iron ring and how engineering is a superior way of thinking. Engineers drink heavily largely because they fear we will realize they are nothing like this guy. This guy isn’t an engineer at all: He is an Artificer, and we will never have enough of them to go around. Artificers are creative, artistic, they think outside the boxes in places so odd that sometimes they need to devise things almost but not entirely unlike boxes, which you can still stand on and still hold things. Engineers however? Dime a dozen and you don’t even need to go looking for them. They are stodgy, trust their programmed calculators and computerized materials tables and all the other things they don’t seem to understand prevent any shred of innovation, and are the reason so. Much of our modern world is so damned similar across the planet. Engineers do. A boring and tedious job that is on the verge of being automated away, and has really only endured this long because the atomators are engineers. It’s why we still have so many managers. Managers never downsize themselves.
You know how you find an engineer? Don’t worry, he will find you, as you are next on his list to patronize.

@@magnum0121984 The reliability could be a little pb... Currently I have more confidence about my belt drive that a full set of valve and controller. Mostly when I think about the consequence of a small failure on the system on the engine
That's what I was hoping would happen when I heard the GM and Honda were doing a merger, but alas it is just electric car development
@@Papaturtal with V-TEC yo 🤣
@@UPR91 A well designed system should have very little chance of catastrophic failure. Even if CPS is disconnected or actuator solenoid is disconnected, the return spring should prevent interference.
However, being a new tech I’d also trust belt/chain driven valves for the moment! I wonder if the era of gasoline engines will be long enough to see widespread use of solenoid actuated valves.
The valve tappets that you noted were "off center" and thus an error is wrong deduction. They strike the top of the valve stem off-center so that they rotate slightly at each strike. This prevents lopsided wear on the valve seat.
@@user-tu2ch8nu3u no
Correct sir. If you fail to rotate the valves over time carbon build up etc will foul the valves.
Yes the old Wisconsin engines had these with a flathead design, same concept though
oh wow thats interesting I never knew that. Great idea!
Been wrenching for years, been in a fair few engines and I never knew this. Learn something new every day folks!

@@joshuakuehn usually the other way around!
Not really replicate. Koenigsegg system has variable lift which is the hardest part to create. This is just on/off.
@@marekkuklis5867 variable lift should be relatively simple. air solenoid has to overcome the spring pressure to open the valve to begin with. using a spring with variable spring rate and proportional air valve to control air pressure. you could make it have different valve heights.

Y o u probably won't find this comment, I'm nearly the 500th person. The set screws that you use to operate the valve head WILL back out. I suggest that you use 2 set screws per valve, each half the length of the current one. screw the first set screw in so that it just touches the valve and then screw the second one in above it to lock it into place, a little loctite at this point would be useful as well. The loctite will give you 2 benefits, one stopping the setscrew backing out and two it will seal the threads as a possible leak for the air pressure. I hope this helps best regards from the UK.
This method works really well, until you're the next guy that works on it that doesn't know about the second set screw. Lol, but I doubt that'll be an issue in this scenario.
Why make it so hard FFS? Use Allen cap screws with holes in the sides of them then use retention wire (commonly used in motorcycle racing) and wire the suckers together. Easy Peasy
@@PayNoTaxes0GetNoVote Downside to wiring it is if you have to adjust later. using a setscrew with a nut on the top for retention has been working in engines for decades.
@@PayNoTaxes0GetNoVote my parents pay lots of taxes but can’t vote - what’s up with that?

Why not make a crazy NA engine like that even more powerful with forced induction? I recommend twincharging it.
@@combativeThinker Why twin charge? I'm genuinely curious why you would say that. With turbo technology these days, they spool incredibly fast. If we're just going for power... I mean really any other reason as well.. I see no use where adding a supercharger is more beneficial than just a turbo.
Now don't get me wrong, I'm a man who loves a good supercharger.. But the logic part of my brain says there's just nothing a supercharger can do, these days, that a turbo wouldn't do better. Yeah you can MAYBE get power a few hundred rpms sooner but is that really worth all the hassle?
I am *very* open to being proven wrong though!

RUclips randomly recommended this to me. I'm impressed by your work, what I can understand of it anyway, a lot of it is over my head.
Awesome!!! I love the idea of using air! I designed the original "electronic valve actuation system" and submitted the idea to Invention Submission Corporation... Emphasis on "submission"... They took my design and created some fancy blueprints, then wanted 10,000 dollars to proceed with building a prototype... From a 17yr old. Seven years later, a friend calls and says he saw the system in a hotrod magazine... I used heavy 12v solenoids to move the valve itself with a light return spring. I also used a mechanical, centrifugal advance system for the timing. I opened the valves more as the throttle moved and the timing advanced mechanically for accelerating. Normally the valves react from the crankshaft speed for acceleration. You need to at least control the duration of valve timing.
Yes, they stole your idea, that is what those assholes do...same happened to me.
Found my product on the market less than a year later.
@@Chris-fo8wp what's sad is, i see ideas i had at 15yrs old being used today and i never had the opportunity to introduce them to market and further the world. Imagine if our society was set up so kids could chase their dreams from a young age and see them through.

That's amazing! It runs really steadily and smoothly. Regarding your timing sensor, consider buying an off-the-shelf timing ring for converting engines to Ford EDIS and making an adaptor. That will sense the presence or absence of metal teeth rather than magnets which are going to come flying off your timing wheel at speed :-) I'd also look at using screened cable for the sensor to stop it picking up ignition noise.
I love when RUclips recommends me random new channel's like this
So much better than make-up tutorials, skateboard fails, or guys being hit in the balls by random shit.
Amazing, also love the "open source" approach here, I can see a lot of home tinkerers "freevalving" their own engines soon
im in for that extra hp , giv me the freevalve kit
GIVE ME TIME AND I SWEAR ILL DO IT AN AUDI
That just sounds like what an engine would do if it skipped laundry day.
I so badly want to put something like this on my old VW Bug. I already converted it from carb to EFI. I could imagine a quite similar process actually, there are kits using Megasquirt or other aftermarket ECUs that allow for converting old carb engines to EFI - the same could be done to convert standard engines of damn near any type (pushrod engines like my Bug and this Predator probably being easier than OHC or DOHC), just mount the actuators above the valves somehow, tune the ECU, and now anything can be a Freevalve engine.
Ls swap when?
Very cool idea! I loved the shot of the dowel pin embedded in the wall 🤣
Gough Custom jump to 14:40
What language is this?
Just an idea u might want to have computer set to slightly open exaust valve when starting. Yes most newer engines have a starting hump built into the exaust eccentric (at high rpm it basically floats over this hump). But I think u could make it very easy to start w a little low rpm exaust advance
You Sir give me hope for humanity, as a retired engineer I see a lot of younger people that seem to be getting dumber year on year, so well done Wesley keep it up.
If that's what you are seeing you are missing the maker revolution. 3d printers, inexpensive access to cnc equipment, and easily programable microprocessors along with collaborative platforms that share knowledge and access never seen are making this a generation of crowd source Edisons. These kids will be all right.
@@davesnothere8859 I agree with you in principal, but I also have seen a tendency to "go off half-cocked" (I'm not talking about this project, necessarily), building a prototype before doing basic design, including tolerance and "don't reinvent the wheel" research. Just because you can easily fab something, doesn't mean you're being efficient process-wise.
I think what he means is that technology is playing a major part in working things out. Where as before you had use your head to a lot more i.e. Not relying on computers to do all your drawings, calculations and building parts for your idea. Building things 10-20 years ago was a lot more hands on. So I think what he means is people are not using there skill set as much. So therefore using technology is making you dumber as your not applying yourself as much as technology is doing a lot of the work for you. That's my thought on it anyway mite be wrong or right. But I agree with his statement. As a qualified engineer and Electrician
@@neiltooley455 Yes that pretty much covers it, I ha a conversation 20+ years ago, this young chap was showing of the latest widget he had just bought, he told me that I was "past it" and this was the greatest generation, to which I replied "Who do you think invented most of the products you are using".......................... we old folk did.
EvilChuckie ' I once had a apprentice and all he wanted to do was play on his phone. I simply said if you want to learn I will teach as much as I know. But remember this I've got all my qualifications and I've learnt from listening to my teachers. So it's no odds to me it will only be your downfall. I fully agree with you this generation aren't that smart. If you've built something yourself hands on. And if it breaks or there's something wrong you've got a lot better understanding why it's failed, how to fix the fail. Then make it so it doesn't happen again.
This is amazing. Free valve technology is absolutely the future of the combustion engine for both power and efficiency applications. This gives me some hope that this tech will be available to the home engine builder. Hopefully within the next decade
Very kind of you to put all this knowledge out there. Especially given all the resources that you have put into it. Very impressive!!!
Very impressive just getting it to run. Great work.
You know, I’m doing a mechanical engineering degree, so o thought I was decent smart. Then this man shows up and oh boy... snap back to reality. This is amazing man, seriously cool.
Me too haha
Also me too for second degree in mechanical engineering (in France)
Stick with it! Engineering school is difficult to say the least but the reward for all that work makes it completely worth it! Being a mechanical engineer myself I will say that it is extremely important that you build some basic mechanical skills and knowledge before you graduate. By that I mean that you have a firm grasp on knowing how to use a wrench and can solve basic real world issues with machinery. If you can combine the science with real world mechanical skill you will go far. At the end of my interview, with my current employer, I was asked to draw the inner workings of an open differential. Piece of cake... Take full advantage of any opportunity you have at career fairs and don't be surprised if starting pay is lower than expected. Typically in this field employers want you to prove that you have what it takes before you start making the big bucks you were looking for. Good luck! If I can do it so can you!

Loving the long format where you're taking us through the creative and design process along with you. It's very interesting to watch someone with an actual education and background (I think you have an engineering background, but if you don't, you should definitely switch professions) in engineering. A lot of videos are presented to us after they've already got the design process done. And the systems for the valves is mind boggling. How long ago did they design these systems?? Sounds like uncommon '80's racing tech.

You will need to reduce the Dead Volume in the Pneumatics to the smallest of Dead Volume as possible, also you will need to apply small ac current to dither the solenoid coil and armature to prevent Hysteresis in the inductive elements as the field collapses about 50 to 60 micro amps at about 20 to 30hz. These are Ball Park figures to Start the Idea is to prevent the mechanical and pneumatic delays in the loop as they will limit engine RPM at some speed. I have worked with high speed Pneumatics and Hydraulics in my career and this is where some of the Problems came from (inertia is your rival) Keep up the Work this is where new ideas run out into working designs for the future.
Toss a fuel injector on there and ditch the carb entirely. No need for a throttle if you have control of the valves.
That's what I thought. isn't that what Koenigsegg did?
@@roomtempcoffee I don't know how close they got, but I'm sure that was the goal.
@@roomtempcoffee Bmw did it a long ago with valvetronic engines. not the "camless" but the full variable lift.
his system uses air it's either full close or full open. not variable he needs the throttle plate/carb
@@d1zguy864 not at all. Just shorten the duration it is open for lower loads and lengthen the duration for higher loads. Whether he has the fidelity to do so is a different story.

At 7:03 talking about the UV light and receiver on the timing wheel. I have some experience with those type of sensors, and I can assure you, you're MUCH better off with the hall effect switch. The switches that use light of any wave length can be foiled by simple things like smoke in the air. Car engines encounter all kinds of dust and smoke while operating not to mention moisture and rain that can get on the optics. The hall effect switch is a much more robust and reliable device working in a sealed package even under harsh road racing conditions. They work even covered in oil. I love videos like this that ignite the imagination. Thank you!

Wesley, you are a real site for sore eyes. Bravo to you for doing this. Great idea. 68 Corvette there ? CX 500 too ? you're a man of my own taste and experimentation. Awesome video.
The world is a better place because of people like you, The Tinkerer. We need more people like you.
Just calling it FreeValve is begging for a Cease and Desist.
B is for build and their Eleanor Mustang springs to mind.
Good point. But Christian von Koenigsegg is a good dude, not like the mafia types that work for Ferrari legal or anything Hollywood. I'm pretty sure Christian would be enthusiastic about Wesley's project. Of course if it will evolve into a commercial product patents and licensing will have to be looked into. But as I understand Koenigsegg, they actually want to inspire other manufacturers to look into the technology and adopt it. That would certainly be a very welcome income stream in the form of licensing.
@@matthiasmartin1975 i don't think it would be out there if they didn't want anyone to use the tecnology
@@nikonordman7624 They plan to release it for production by 2022... So yeah they definitely want it to be used
@@matthiasmartin1975 he may be a good dude but I don't think you understand one of the problems with having a patent or copyright. If you have a patent or copyright etc it is coupled to a legal duty to defend and prosecute violations of that right or lose the right. He spent a bunch of money and so on to get that patent It would be insane to do that and not also plan on defending it. and from a practical standpoint as much easier to defend easily winnable cases than ones that aren't. That means the most the time people trying to defend patents will find small time people dabbling at infringement and cease and desist against them rather than letting people get a lot of money invested in it before they stop them. This creates the track record of defense that they would need in a more serious case of infringement to show that they had already been defending the rights.
17:15 I love how he looks at the camera in surprise “👀 Holy shit!” 😃👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
“Hollywoo stars and celebrities, what do they know? Do they know things? Let’s find out”
They are fake hero's which just robb us with huge fees for flims....no contribution towards making our everday life's better ... honestly people are exited about them ...well I consider nickola Tesla ....Karl's benz.. Rudolf diesel...Edison..grambell...Newton ...Einstein....and present innovative people are real heros n celebrity
Bojack Horseman.
Is this a crossover episode?!
This has seriously made me want to get an engine and just see how much I can screw around with it and still have it work... Thank you for such interesting content!
that is super impressive - brilliant work, explanation and the best of luck developing your 'experiment' RESPECT to you fella
Now you need closed-loop feedback to have it tune itself. :) (On our next episode, we build a mini dyno...)
FSAE teams: *HEAVY BREATHING*
Good point - if this guy with apparently no mechanical engineering background (so he said) could make this work, it ought to be nearly trivial to a bunch of engineering students who will jump on novel ideas even if they might not be the most reliable. Some race series would ban such things, but FSAE would probably let students mess around with stuff like this. FSAE camshafts are an endangered species now.
A freevalved mt-07 engine would dominate fsae
Yeaaaa I’m gonna see what the team thinks
@@flybyguy1450 You need small valves and low rpm for freevalve, what engine would work with that?
I'm showing this to all my engineer friends. Love the approach, and experimentation.
Before pulling the string always pull gently to find the compression stroke before you give it a good rip for faster starts. Damn fine work you did by the way. Love it and thankyou!
The whole time watching I’m just thinking.... too much sensitive low voltage systems. “ .. need to reroute spark plug wire..” , yup... and also thinking man I couldn’t do this, I’d just come up with another mechanical valve timing in the end. Props for getting outside of the box and not taking one for the team with what is sticking in the wall. Glad RUclips suggested this
As a third year engineering student my mind is absolutely blown🤯🤯🤯
Love the fact you built this out of your own imagination and skills..something rarely seen anymore.
Don't forget the oil!
Did you watch the video?
That shy proud smile when it started made the whole video man...congrats on your courage and talent!
I tuned the cogwheel on the johnson housing with my iPhone and it ran flawless on water, dude is a genius!
