3D Printed Opposed Piston Engine - How powerful is it?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 сер 2021
- In my last video, I designed a 3D printed Opposed Piston Engine. I wasn't too sure what to do with this (or any of my other engines), so I asked for some help in the comments.
One of you suggested trying to lift something, so I tried to lift a banana.
DISCLAIMER - 1 Banana was harmed in the making of this video - Наука та технологія
It'd be interesting to see what the engine can do w/o the limitations of the bottle and ball valve. Think it'd help to have that higher pressure/more consistent pressure. Maybe then it can lift a banana
I agree, I think it would be very close if the pressure was kept high!
I am extremely concerned on what kind of fruit this can lift. Can it lift a lemon or a kiwi? Actually I am only concerned if you haven't subscribed yet.
hope we'll be seeing more of you soon! also should probably make a regulator lol
Congrats on 1k subs!!!
Thank you!
Wow!! Agora sou fã do seu canal e seus trabalhos.
Parabéns!!
Great work, funny videos, keep it up. Rudolf Diesel is on the edge of his seat watching you from the afterlife 🛠️⚙️🗜️🔩
feat video great work i'm subbed !
Excellent! Subbed
For the parts that keep breaking, I'd highly recommend against silk filament and to use petg
Kurzey! Hey Kurzey!!! Umm I would like to recomend to you, to use a SodaStream bottle, since they can withstand as much as 3000 psi, instead of a regular plastic 2L bottle with it's measly 130-170 psi... Also, love your content
Thanks man! I have seen those around that's a good idea, I may even use them with some CO2 cannisters in the future!
I think you should have some goal that your engines should complete. Tom Stanton had the goal of powering a rc plane. Mabe you could do something like that. Maybe powering a rc boat?
I agree I need a goal, I shall think on it, thanks!!
Did you hear about the new Omega 1 engine? This could be a new designing challenge 😬
i am going to make the banana test a standard. i am currently working on my own engine
keep it up
Really nice engine and engineering man. Just a little tip: How is the valve timing exactly? Does it open when the pistons are at the nearest point or will it work better if the valve opens like 5 degrees sooner as they are on the way to each other. And maybe it will work better if the valve opens electronically with a coil so the mechanical resistance is lower and the hole valve is better sealed😁. Have a nice.... Build😌
When is the next video coming? I need to make sure I have the day off from work.
Love it 🤣 im just starting to work on next video maybe 2-3 weeks
I think the next thing to do is just to have a dual piston engine, but with pistons that are offset so instead of only 180 degrees of the 360 degree rotation is powered, you have 360 degrees of power.
So dual pistons, offset by 180 degrees.
This will also make it run smoother and maybe then it can maaaybe lift the banana? Cause with smoother power delivery, it wont be as easy to stall cause there isnt as much time that the flywheel is all thats keeping it spinning.
Yeah I agree this would definitely help, only having a power stroke every 180 degrees isnt ideal, thanks!!
@@kurzey8532 or lets go crazy with 4 cylinders, offset by 90 degrees off of eachother and have power every 90 degrees!
Me: How many cylinders do you want?
Duck Face: Yes
@@kurzey8532 the more the better
@@kurzey8532 The Napier Deltic uses an offset TDC to eliminate the need for valves, using the "left" and "right" cylinder to expose intake and exhaust ports at appropriate times to scavenge it's 2 stroke cycle.
I know this is a year old, but... food for thought.
Alternative configuration, make a worm gear drive, high torque, low speed
It looks like you have some serious printer problems o.o
Cool that you could lift a tangerine tho.
Nice video and underrated as always! And also, Do you think Integza could lift it because he used a compressor?
Maybe it helped having constant pressure, but I think it was likely more powerful also
@@kurzey8532 Yeah, probably less parasitic loss
Hey Kurzey, great stuff! Love your videos.
Just wondering something - do you think your engines would run on steam? If so, maybe that would provide longer duration and a more consistent pressure???
They would run on steam...temporarily 🤣 the plastic would probably start to melt pretty quickly, I would like to try it tho
@@kurzey8532 or maybe something like butane or dry ice. Good luck with it, I've subscribed and looking forward to your next video. Keep up the good work!
Yeah CO2 cannisters would be cool the explore, they're at like 700-800 psi, glad you like the videos, thank you!
Thank you, this answers my previous question about power output! But what about efficiency? How much power output per power input? How big should the air tank be, to get - let's say - 100wh of energy out of this engine?
yo sick
Integza would be proud that you used a Tangerine, good job you did not use one of those Red Fruits, he would be jump up and down angry.
Ah yes, The forbidden fruit 🍅 probably would've started all over the floor if I had used it 🤣
Cool shit
You should try to see if you could make a 3d printed turbine with the goal of reaching the highest rpm you can
Sounds like a plan 👌
call me what you're on watermelons
jk! this is incredible 🤯
Baby steps man, baby steps 😂 thank you!
Please make a multicylinder engine please!!!
It's on the list of things to do!
What kinda top/bottom layers you running on those gears? I made some gears that fit something akin to a lego shaft and I used to slam them against my bench to fit them together
No different to how I usually print, how did you design the gears, did you incorporate a tolerance in them, otherwise I can see why they'd jam together
@@kurzey8532 ye they had a .2 mm air gap designed into them and sometimes they slip together nice other times its a little tighter than normal, i was just wondering cause that gear looked like it fell abart really easily
You can get an Anycubic Photon s for 100 quid on ebay with 3 day delivery and 1l of Standard Anycubic resin for 23 quid, a uv nail lamp for 7 and some metylated spirits/ipa and ppe for another 20. Try giving resin a go. Its an absolute pain for the first week, but then it kind of grows own you and it looks like it would be better for your kind of projects.
I will get one eventually, right now I have nowhere to put one, I don't really want to suck in the resin fumes while I'm sleeping lol
@@kurzey8532 yeah, need to keep it somewhere well ventilated, but away from the sun. Well, if you need some parts printed in resin, let me know :)
Try to make a valve system that just squeeze a inlet pipe.Much cheaper, easier way that leak much less than valve system
Yes this would be much easier I'll give it a go next time
@@kurzey8532 When you thought about uploading a new video?We wait your videos 4 f*cking months.
adding more engines more power. so its torquish
yo could i get the stl files? i've been searching for a 3d printed air engine to do something with and the ones you make are most likely the most efficient
Don't have access to my computer atm, when I do (if I remember) ill try and upload them
You could just pinch the hose instead of having a valve lmao
Yeah true I could of clamped it lol, woops
Hey… print the axle separately please for structural strength
The joints have to be really tight for this to not make the whole engine wobble, haven't had an issue with the axle/gear combo
@@kurzey8532 you are printing the axles horizontally, but if you print it vertically, it will be much stronger for handling that torque. You can make it a strip size hole in the gear and a t shape axle to reduce vibration.
Yeah it would be stronger printed in a different orientation, engine isn't powerful enough for it to matter yet tho 😂
what if its 4 cylinder. more cylinder = more power
make a generator with it
Just a tip: brown filaments are notorious for their weaknes. No matter which manufacturer or material, the brown one will always be the weakest
im a funnie highschooler with solid workers and ideas ... i should help u make engine and potentially fail hows that sound
When is the next video coming? I guess you could just subscribe and enable all notifications but that still does not allow you to see the future. I guess it will have to be close enough for me.
Sorry buddy, been a busy month or so for me, just got back to University, my work load is outrageous 🤣 slowly chipping away at the video, it'll be there soon!
Thanks for the interest!!
@@kurzey8532 No problem. Not rushing you or anything just trying to push the algorithm. Once it picks up your videos you will probably get 25000 views in a day.
@@madeintexas3d442 legend
ua-cam.com/video/l5rEW9QgJDc/v-deo.html Watch this Integza's video.He made a compressed air powered piston engine that hasn't got any kind of valves.It just have a piston with canals that act as a valve.And,he uses a square piston, which means LESS FRICTION.
Please try it.
again reinforce them with a simple metal pin or better in this case a wedge
Reinforce which part?
@@kurzey8532 any part that has a twisting force like that breaking output shaft centre
It couldn't pick up my nanner ! It's thick B ! I have been ridiculed my entire life for my thick thick nanner . I pull out my weapon and women are like " you want to cram that thing where" and that hurts my feelings.
your engine needs more potassium ;)
Needs a peroxide boost
Use a tomato to impress integza.
Could see if there's enough power to crash a tomato 🍅
Watermelon
put dry ice into a bottle and let the engine run. not my idea
It probably wouldn't sublimate quick enough to do much unless I heated it, want to do something with co2 canisters though
@@kurzey8532 nice thank you for responding
