Okay so, I am a car person and will tell you... I fell in love with that revving sound and the shifting... THIS IS A TRUE WORK OF ART AND GOOD USE OF LEGOS!!!
That engine sounded so good. Sounds like a four wheeler engine. I would suggest you to use the Lego gear selectors if you know what I mean so the gears don’t slide out. Otherwise it was awesome
This is so cool! Reminds me of when I used to play around with lego vacuum engines years ago back when I lived with my parents, I have a few videos on my channel if you're curious. I had a similar output load simulator and everything! I used a centrifugal clutch to link the engine to the output in one of my videos, which helped to free up my hands lol I used this twin cylinder config in several of my designs. It always worked quite well, in a 2x2 and 4x4 config, 3 stud stroke. Never thought to use the smooth wall pieces and olive oil though, that probably makes all the difference! I also played with a funky cylinder configuration that I called an "M" configuration (stands for mirror) that iterated off of this simple design. Essentially, the twin cylinder is iterated sideways as many times as you want. This results in multiple crankshafts that are connected with either a gear train or chain, and a single manifold that is quite compact, which helps to minimize leaks. This design theoretically allows for any number of cylinders (up to a certain point), because you can set any crank offset that you like, as long as the gears support the offset angle you want. I tried a 4 cylinder with 2x2 pistons, but my engines weren't nearly as well designed as yours, so the engine wasn't that much more powerful than a 2x2 twin, it had a fair bit more torque though. It self started, which was nice. You should try it out and see how it goes! I think it has some potential with your superior design. The M design offers a relatively small manifold size compared to the rest of the engine, minimizing leak losses.
That’s pretty interesting! If you want, you’re more than welcome to join the Discord server which I co-own with one of my friends! I’m really intrigued with this M design engine and It’d be awesome if you could go more in depth.

To be honest (no offense) but I sorta forgot you suggested this- I built a clutch and thought, why not build a transmission too? I’m actually gonna extend it to a five speed too
@@KFPlusLegoMastery None taken. It was like in June or something lol. I finally got my first Lego Technic set this month! I have a feeling there is another one under my tree but I'm not sure. A 5 speed sounds awesome! Cannot wait!
WOW! That scene at 7:47 sounds so awesome!! Please do a instruction video or post some detailed pics that show how to build it! Most awesome lego engine I´ve ever seen😱
Stuff like this will get you over 1k faster than you know. Excellent contents my dude, just discovered you this morning and subbed because this is awesome, and makes me want to go out and get some lego technic to take a crack at it myself
Your mechanism to regulate speed is more a "throttle body" than a carb because it doesn't mix air and fuel, rather just meters flow.... I'm realizing I'm sounding picky, don't mean to. regardless, dude these are the best Lego vacuum engines I've seen on youtube in a long time!
Thanks, I always appreciate the support! I usually call it carb because it comes before the actual engine, it regulates the airflow similar to how a carburetor regulates fuel and air mixture. When I say that referring to vacuum engines, I really mean 'throttle body' or 'manifold'
I’d have to rip them apart either way 😂 but I’ll see what I can do! I may do some close up footage so you can get an idea because a full tutorial may take a long time
It’s really dependent on your ratios and engine power. For example if you have a powerful engine you can have long gears and decent acceleration but with a less powerful engine you may need more gears to help keep it within the power range.
you should try using 2 vacuums, each one connecting to a piston. I think with only one its more stressed and its losing power because of the double friction but same vacuum power. Pretty cool tho, sounds better than most real cars lmao.
Mostly from the mass of sets I’ve acquired over the years, back when legos weren’t that expensive. If you’re looking to buy lots of parts, I’d recommend bricklink.com
dude literally as i got my lego out i thought of of using 4 by 6 also i havent so far seen anyone use like duct tape instead of the tall walls has somebody tried it and it was to grippy???
what you got there is a non syncro non constant mesh gear box aint got no syncros and the gears are not constantly meshing reminds me of a "3 speed" transmission i tried to make in scrap mechanic and i still aint got a working transmissions yet in that game i'd love to make something like this but i only got 4 gears (2 8T and 2 12? 16? idk but they are the really small kind so yeahhh ima have fun making a 3 speed with that and also some of the slightly wierd kind that have 4 lugs
I have a manual two speed built but the shifter actually stays. Although you have to move the whole thing instead of just moving it forward or back. How did you make the shifter?
I tried that on one of my other engines with a transmission, and surprisingly nothing bad happened. I bet I’d have different results with this style of transmission
Okay so, I am a car person and will tell you... I fell in love with that revving sound and the shifting... THIS IS A TRUE WORK OF ART AND GOOD USE OF LEGOS!!!
Facts 🥵
I totally agree with you
I been following these little engines a while now and they sound wild, I bumped into a supercharged one that I could say competes with the 350gt
Every use of lego is a good use.

bruh not even 2 months into "next year" and you're almost to 800subs
thats awesome.
I guess my goal of 500 for this year was a bit of an underestimation 😂
This video is amazing i always enjoy your interesting lego RUclips video builds
This is just dope I know this is a year old but if you could honestly do this forever this is like a dream come true I would have loved this as a kid!
This is so cool LOvE the engine design and Transmission!
Can you do a full tutorial for both of those before you rip them apart lol
I’d have to rip them apart either way 😂 but I’ll see what I can do! I may do some close up footage so you can get an idea because a full tutorial may take a long time
If u rip up the system just record you tearing it down then just reverse the video to make it look like ur putting it together
@@shlushe1050 Very Clever! I never thought of that, although I do believe i’ve seen tutorials constructed like that
Sweet man! That thing is friggin cool!
Yup! I’m also gonna extend and advance it to a 5 speed very soon!
Great video!
500 subs you say? lets go for 1000!!!
THIS WILL NEVER FAIL TO AMAZE ME I WISH I WOULD HAVE KEPT ALL MY LEGOS ONE OF MY BIGGEST REGRETS SWEAR TO GOD
6:49 when your engine shakes so much it downshifts
Noice intro
Congrats on 14K subs!!!🎉
this is such a cool way to demonstrate a manual transmission system!
Very cool!
Thanks so much for the shout out.
And what do you use to edit.
No problem dude! I use iMovie on my phone for editing- nothing fancy
Now you have nearly 10k my guy keep going 😅❤️
Literally unreal how amazing this is
Awesome build, would love to see a gated shifter for the transmission. Otherwise this is super cool
Your an awesome guy, keep it up big man💪
that is cool!
Did you know that Lego makes their own pistons they are smaller but your big pistons are still good👍👍👍👏
love the new intro
Man this engine sounds so cool
That clutch is how they actually do it in real cars. Did you know that?
Really good vid, by the way :)
this man has all the time in the world, also make a pdf instrcution on the vacuum engine and carb for it
Been watching your videos on tik tok didn’t know you had a youtube till I recognized the name I’ll follow and subs rn
BRO YOUR CAR SOUND IS BETTER THAN CAR SOUND🥶🥶🥶
Engineer : lego is not realistic
Lego people :
Ur my favorite utuber
Thanks for the support :)
Your a genius
holy shit thats the most AWESOME THING IVE EVER SEEN OR HEAD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE
😏
Would this work in outer sqce without any fuel? Seeing as space is supposed to be a vacuume
Htf are Lego plastic pieces strong enough to hold up qndnot blow up especially without oil
this is way better than what I can make its awesome
it's amazing how strong that engine is
Will more gears help with fast acceleration? IDK how Gear shifters work
It’s really dependent on your ratios and engine power. For example if you have a powerful engine you can have long gears and decent acceleration but with a less powerful engine you may need more gears to help keep it within the power range.
@@KFPlusLegoMastery also engines with lower rev ranges like Diesel engines need shorter gears and more of them to keep it in the powerband
This is cool as hell
Now thats sick
that is one of the best sounding lego engines ever
I have no idea how this got into my recommendations but I like it
Honestly you should have a flywheel on the drive shaft it’ll just make it run smoother and not as clunky
You are a genius
I sounds like a quad that is sick kid
Wow
Sorry to hear about the broken gear.... my opposed piston lve cracked 2 of my 4 16 tooth gears.. 😡
That sounds better than most cars😂
sounds like real
Sounds a little like one of those lawn mowers😂 it’s a great engine 👌
Sounds better then the new dodge.
Amazing
amazing
Wow thats really cool. Next step is to build a lego car that runs on petrol😂
Hey man love your vids I just wanted to know if you can make a tutorial on the engine
did you lubricate the pistons? it’s just that my pistons don’t spin as smoothly as yours
Yes. Usually the lubrication not only helps it spin smoother but also prevents wear to the plastic
@@KFPlusLegoMastery Ok,thanks
@@KFPlusLegoMastery what do you use as a lubricant?
@@KFPlusLegoMastery By the way, I was able to build an engine from this video without knowing the tutorial
I made something simillar, a vacuum engine connected to a compact clutch and a 2+N gearbox
Hey can you make a tutorial how to make the pedal on the clutch please?
This engine does have a pretty large bore and short stroke, which does make sense for a vacuum engine
THE SOUND
2:40 that clutch is pretty genius!
Amazing work!👍 I recently made my first 1piston lego engine but the clutch I made isn’t that efficient could you share your clutch design? Thanks
What the hell. How did he-
Cool 👍
This prolly makes 0.5hp and 0.7lb of torque which is a lot of power for a lve
Lolll sounds like grandpa is pulling up
Can you please make a tutorial for that clutch???
sounds like a harley davidson
That’s very impressive. I’ve made a Lego steam engine on my a channel if your interested
you should try using 2 vacuums, each one connecting to a piston. I think with only one its more stressed and its losing power because of the double friction but same vacuum power.
Pretty cool tho, sounds better than most real cars lmao.
It certainly sounds better than a Nissan Maxima with the CVT 😂
yoo I would totally buy this from you lol
Hey, lego person here. How did you get your pieces and wherls and stuff?
Mostly from the mass of sets I’ve acquired over the years, back when legos weren’t that expensive. If you’re looking to buy lots of parts, I’d recommend bricklink.com
dude literally as i got my lego out i thought of of using 4 by 6 also i havent so far seen anyone use like duct tape instead of the tall walls has somebody tried it and it was to grippy???
You should use a functions motor as a starter which is what i did but it made the output a little lower
if u have a electric vacumer try to mkae a car that can pul the vacum to make the car go without any limits
what you got there is a non syncro non constant mesh gear box
aint got no syncros and the gears are not constantly meshing
reminds me of a "3 speed" transmission i tried to make in scrap mechanic
and i still aint got a working transmissions yet in that game
i'd love to make something like this but i only got 4 gears (2 8T and 2 12? 16? idk but they are the really small kind so yeahhh ima have fun making a 3 speed with that and also some of the slightly wierd kind that have 4 lugs
Fun fact: I was the 2.6k like!
Support is always greatly appreciated!
I have a manual two speed built but the shifter actually stays. Although you have to move the whole thing instead of just moving it forward or back. How did you make the shifter?
What the heck that sounds like a real engine
You should check out the newest 4 speed and Inline 2, it sounds even better in my opinion
@@KFPlusLegoMastery it sounds like a motorcycle
Can you make a vid where you let it run with an high performance piston
Been meaning to do an endurance test, I may do that in the near future. Also sorry for the late reply- there's a LOT of comments I have to go through.
Put olive oil in the transmission like real cars
2:27 Please read the tutorial how you made this lever with two wheels
that sounds like a car
Could you make a tutorial?
please turorial fo this clutch
What happens when you do a money shift?
I tried that on one of my other engines with a transmission, and surprisingly nothing bad happened. I bet I’d have different results with this style of transmission
Can you make clutch+gears bos tuto pls
That engine is a beast, what's your secret?
You should try an inline 4 😂
Bro has now 13k
i dare you to try to rev match up shift and down shift that thing
Y do i feel like i can actually drive this? 😂😂😂😂
Does there exist a tutorial for this clutch?
