ProfessionalGamerPhil it’s that there is less exhaust exiting when the throttle is released as there was entering when the throttle was open, which causes the blades to stutter, I think I’m not sure, and the whistling is just the turbo spooling down from a higher rpm
Using reverse cam on the break apart to show a build has to be the smoothest thing I’ve ever seen. Just like what they do for Lego commercials, only followable!
yeah switchless ! I work on a same field now with a dual piston (90°) side by side with switchless mecanism, I try to make sliding valve but hard to do !
Awesome! Yes this Engine took many versions to get right, i think this ones like the 11th concept. A sliding valve would work nicely, i have experimented with them and they seem to work well also, the rocker valve style suited this engine better. Thanks!
It revs like a proper engine too! I just found your videos and they are super awesome. I don't have a ton of pneumatic parts yet but the single cylinder engines are super inspiring.
Have you actually ever heard an ultralight airplane run? They are two stroke in most cases. They sound nothing like this. This sounds like a steam engine at best lol
Amazing engine!!!!!! I bought the instructions and built it with my own parts. It sounds amazing and on about 40PSI I get 1000 RPM out of i!!! incredible engine good job
Imagine if this was connected to a compressor driven by one of your alternative buggy motors! Oh boy! I think I am going to incorporate this design in my robot. Thanks for the idea!
If it was a combustion engine, I'd say it has a MEAN compression/exhaust leak. I'd prefer if the music was off during the engine sound and RPM tests, personally. For being a single cylinder this is about as smooth as it gets! Would love to see this design expanded to a few more cylinders. 4? 6? 8 even? I'd love to see it power an RC car.
Amazing! I am building a 1-cylinder LPE myself and it sure isn't easy! I admire all the masterpieces you've created! If anyone has any tips on how to build one, please be sure to tell me!
I really want someone to make a low resistance knewmatic switch for these lego motors, that would greatly reduce the shaking and power impulse stutters between valve changes, and make the entire require much less pressure to operate, that'll be the next big step in lego motors I think
Found all the parts and was able to assemble it by pausing throughout this video. Just tested with a bicycle pump, and it works great! Time to take out the air compressor!
I'm gonna buy this soon, love LPE's, wanna dip my toes into the Green Gecko LPE kits, and possibly get a V8 MK3 in the future... super cool machines! keep it up!
Great video! I love how you sell these! I’ve always wanted one of these but never have the time or the parts to make them. But you sell em! I think I’m gonna buy the V-8 one and RPM test it. Thanks for doing this!
I’ve built one of the 1 cylinder ones before but never for it running before I don’t have an air compressor. I was wondering what are the limits when it comes the building air compressors with Lego? Like the max PSI and Volume it can hold.
Dude, that engine is frecken cool and it sounds like a proper air craft. Not to mention, what a professional video, well done. I like the reverse build.
Look at this absolute Jedi building some good LEGO. I absolutely love the design and would love to see it on a Rc airplane maybe with a variable pitch prop. That would make it easy to find where the engines nice and happy at. The main issue I’d see would be finding a low weight air or CO2 storage method. Gearing up the drive shaft might help get longer flights if there’s enough torque out of it.
Using a switch you may increase effeciency of the engine. For a RC plane I recommend going at least 2800RPM with a variable pitch blade. Lot to ask but with the stuff I have seen from you previously I do believe you can do it
this is a nice design because its significantly easier to mod the pistons than the switches, i have a whole bunch of dead switches from my attempts. i considered 3d printing some lego compatible rotary valves, but its probably not possible with an fdm machine (which i own). perhaps a resin printer would do a better job.
Thanks, yeah resin printing is the way to go. I have access to a professional resin printer and am also certified for it, I will try print some this year when i get round to it.
Wow I need to go make one of those. I would love to see it in a plane! Also, I followed your instructions for modifying the valves and cylinders which work great if you take your time! Anyways, I designed a very high powered v2 LPE using the large cylinders. Would you consider using the large cylinders? With my tests, it has extreme torque and can run at a very low PSI, which could probably work well for a tank or maybe a crawler.
I think I might buy from your store man, I'm pretty new to Lego pneumatics (also your videos are really helpful :) ) and hey how does a switchless engine work if it has no switch to make the piston go in and out?
This Switchless 1 Cylinder Engine uses Silicone tubes that are squeezed in the Switchless Valve on the Engine. Basically the Air is directed into each end of the cylinder at the correct timing, which makes the engine run. If you place an order for this Engine, It will be shipped the same day. I will send you an email with the tracking information once shipped. Any questions let me know.
@@zachp1687 Yes it can, if you have a few of them combined together. For the best result I recommend using an Compressed Air Can (Air Duster Can) or Diy Soda Bottle air tank. Check out my other videos for the diy air tank.
It‘s a very cool creation !! I try to build a train that runs with pneumatic power. But I can‘t reach enough pressure with 8 of the Lego pneumatic pomps. Do you think I should try with an non-lego compressor ?
The lego tubes seem too stiff, can i use them in the squeezing mechanism? Or i need to use some specified ones? If yes, then please, which diameter i need to buy and the other information.
Hi, You need to use the Tubing from my store to build this engine, as the switchless design requires it. Here is the link: www.greengeckoworkshop.com/products/silicone-tubing-2x4mm-2m-5m-10m-length
Green Gecko Lego Technic Workshop so is the switch just not very good? And coo could you make a design with that mechanism for a v8 or any large engine?
Hey, I want to build a six-cylinder boxer motor for my Porsche 911 GT3 RS to actually drive it (I currently use 2 PF XL Motors😅) can you help me with that? I thought about using 4-8 small modded cylinders😊 thanks in advance!
The Switch or Switchless Valve in this Engine changes the direction of the cylinder. It Works similar to a real engine. You can buy this engine on my store if you want to experiment with these Lego Pneumatic Engines, I included everything needed to run the engine in the Kit - www.greengeckoworkshop.com/

I bought this and all I can say is, it’s incredible!
Thank you! It's my favorite 1 Cylinder LPE Engine I have made so far
put 6 of them together and you have a perfectly balanced engine
Is there supposed to be two exhaust
Sounds like a turbo spooling up, beautiful,
It does!
And the air surge is just beautiful. Love that sound! A 2 Cylinder version would be cool and probably sound even better.
Sounds like if someone turbocharged a lawnmower 😂
Do a v8 that be sweet imagine the sound
No it doesn’t lol
When u let off the power it sounds like a turbo fluttering
Its my Favorite!
But I wouldnt recommend this sound on a real car because that means there is some damage on the pipe I think:p

I also loved the reversed "jedi"- building. It's awsome! 😄
you reversed entropy before tenet ? :)
Who Wants to See this Engine in a Flying RC Plane or even a RC Boat? Let me know... Also make sure you're Subscribed for New Videos! 😀
I want!
RC flying ship. why not?
Also another question, With 8Bars of pressure, how light of a tank can you fit on it? because i think then a boat is more feasible
Oh yes
@Yadobler Might experiment with co2
Nice man! this engine runs super smooth! It's definitely worth buying ;)
Thanks! Yes it runs super smooth, when you turn it by hand it's like butter

Looks pretty cool, maybe try to make a W16 from the bugatti? I would buy that
So would i
Yes! That will be the next engine!
@@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop That would be awesome!
would be cool but also would be $$$$
It's fantastic
Sounds like an actual aircraft engine
Thanks!
You have clearly never heard i piston prop engine run if you think a pneumatic cylinder sounds like an aircraft engine lol
You' re right
Next step is 1:1 engine 😏
Full Size! Yes!
It sounds a lot like an old single cylinder, nice job! The added sound of the propeller is also nice
It would be sooooo cool if it was in a airplane and I love your vids
Thanks, Yes it would!
Please make a plane with this engine.
Good videos have no dislikes and this is an example.
It sounds like the engine from an ultralight of some sorts, potentially due to the propeller. I really love all these designs, they are so cool!!
It does! Thanks!

You can pair up lego pumps and they will run it
This man legit took this apart just to put it together in reverse. Legend
Dude, that engine is frecken cool and it sounds like a proper air craft. Not to mention, what a professional video, well done. I like the reverse build.

so, what took me years to design and make, takes you minutes? good job!
Have you considered a W 12 pneumatic engine it would be quite the challenge
Can you make one with the small pneumatic cylinder?
I made a helicopter type thing with this engine, it’s powerful enough to lift about 250g not even at full speed
Awesome!
Bet it can lift 450g at full speed
Love the entire video honestly, creative editing and of course the fascinating engine...
Thanks!
could you do a tutorial on how to set the engine up to work on compressed air? i couldn’t tell from the video how you did it.
Nice video. It’s runs very smooth
Yes it does
That engine sound is definetely R-rated
I love it
The engine sound great. Sounds like a diesel generator/detroit engine witch is turboed
on highest RPM sounds amazing
Do you think you can do a tutorial on one, i have pistons ans switches, would lovd to see!!
You absolutely have to make a v12! You could maybe fit it in the tatra chassis and double the power.
in the Higher RPMs it sounds like a semi trucks I6 650HP Engine
going at 4326 RPM
Hey you should make an automatic switch, maybe with a servo or mindstorm. Also I recommend to get his LEGO pneumatic kits they are very good
Yup, once I get more money, I’m going to buy this and the pumps because I don’t have an air compressor
Awesome!
Gonna try to make it with the small cylinder
I will say that it sounds very strong.
Can you use a car tire air compressor to run it like the hand held ones? Please let me know I want to buy one
10 out of 10!! New sub
“For a challange, try to do a 4 cylinder or a 5 cylinder.”
Just to put an idea out there while we’re on the plane theme, why not attempt a high performance radial engine?
Good idea
would be too heavy for plane to fly i think
Very breathy engine sound.
Awesome technic video. 👍👍
Thanks 👍
This is so cool ! But is the cylinder not likely to be damaged ?
No Damage, It runs Perfect
no it is modded
Make an engine that revs even higher like an F1 engine. Would be good for a fast car.
Beautiful u have instructions can’t wait to add this to my
Collection I have ur lpe i3 built and on display
Awesome, yes i will also be making a new I3. It's such a cool design with the crank.
Can it be more compact if you change the dark Grey gears for grey gears ? The blue pieces wont hit themselves
sound ,perfect
Awesome engine. That can run Even at 5psi!
Yes it does!
When will you build ripsaw tank.I want to see it in action
