6 Cylinder Engine with Only 5 Moving Parts

- Here's an "Elbow Engine" that I made very loosely based on the plan
in the July 1965 issue of Popular Mechanics and on Julius de Waal's plan that I found on a model engineering website.
It is very simple but has to be machined very precisely.
It's made out of brass, stainless steel, aluminium and delrin.
This channel is criminally under subbed.
Wow! (I have seen this at many shows, it shows an accomplished machinist and model maker to get all the alignment perfect for a smooth running model! You got the job!😃)
Wow! Also, quite unorthodox and captivating!
5 stars, i'm been a cnc & manual lathe machinist for 2 decades, that's a nice creation, Cheers to round parts.. 🍺🍷
Came to this video with doubts, left as a subscriber. I have never seen such a configuration before. Very nice man👍
Now take 4 of these and make it into an "engine square"
Wow. That's a cool idea!
Not oversquare, or undersquare.
Just square.
what is an "engine square"?
ah the true boxer engine
Crazy..... Ah so it is on the right channel. Brilliant. Just found your channel and am binge watching!
Very nice job of machining and great video, too! Making one of these is on my list. It would be interesting to meter the rpm.
Had to say, that's pretty neat. Thank you for sharing.
Its the sort of utterly strange thing that wouldn’t be a surprise inside a WW2 torpedo. But then of course, I imagine it would have one of those 1920s Admiralty Torpedo Shed names such as “Bramley/McFadden Rundown Counter Drive, Non-Magnetic, Steam, Reciprocating, Mk9a”.
That’s a precision thing of beauty . Great channel . Subbed
WOW!
It’s awesome!
Very cool and good
Job
Wow! Too cool!
Wow
This is called a Rotary Vee, Patented by Bricklin Engines of Oklahoma. 40+ year old technology.
I've just googled it. Very interesting. Thanks!
It’s an elbow engine and has been out since the 1800s. Rotary Vee was inspired by this design.
Beautiful.
Can find something very similar in air powered tools and hydraulic systems. Look up "axial piston motor". Some also have an adjustable offset with a tilt block so you can even change speed or reverse them. There's also some pretty big ones on ships, when you look at the hydraulic systems for steering or anchor windlasses.
Didn't know that. Very interesting. Thanks!
a really "crazy machine"...Cool!
Thanks!
I built one of these about 6 years ago (no teflon, no springs). So close to running but never did. I suspect one or more of the three "pistons" is not a dead flat bend. Time to give it another shot. Also thinking of running the upper rotor on a shaft that goes through the upright block instead of the bolt. That way it can actually be used to power something.
They used for transmitting torque through a set angle without any change to angular velocities. ie set angle CV joint. Although the load must be light, they are very quiet. Way quieter than straight cut spur gears. The only mention I had found for them was in medical equipment.
but its more complicated than a set of gear trains though. Also this was used in medical equipment? like a dentist's drill?
Marvelous
See, only 5 parts!
"WOW" works very well, also got you a new sub👍
I would love to see how you made the pistons.
Wonder if that can be adapted to an external heat engine.
No gases escape. Either side. Take a torch to the tube under compression. As it expands it forces a rotation and takes it out of the flame to cool and contract bring it around back to the start.
Nice 'smoke grinder' ! Visual energy muncher ? :p Fun stuff :)
Quite interesting. I wish you would have shown details of the valving and air flow. Maybe a diagram or two.
Here's an animation that shows the operation of the valve:

Thanks. That made it clear. I assume that both blocks have the same supply and exhaust configuration. There must be quite a bit of friction with the pistons both sliding in and out plus up and down. I wonder if this would work with an incomprehensible fluid like water or oil? Also how would it perform as a pump? Maybe one block-set could drive the other as a pump.
Another idea: maybe have many more sets of cylinder and pistons. I fear that would only add more friction.
To reduce friction, perhaps only one or two cylinders/pistons. Would be harder to start but maybe more efficient when running. Would be out of balance too.
Well, just trying to think farther outside of the box than this thing already is. Thanks. This made me think differently.
Wow!
Glue a few magnets to one of the cylinder wheels, mount a coil next to the cylinder wheel, and you can run a small lamp on air, or steam.
Add some circuitry to that, and you could charge your phone.
If you put a gear with three holes arrange the same way as the two cylinders, then that can be the main drive
But how could this power anything. Does it create a lot if torque with small amount of energy.
Built one in high school the teacher said wow
now, make a 6 cylinder combustion engine with 5 moving parts and i will be REALLY impressed
Mikail Elchanovanich - Yeah, that's what the title makes it sound like. This isn't an engine. It's a homemade, inefficient pneumatic motor. Don't get me wrong, it's very cool and I'd love to have one to play with, but it's no engine.
It would have to be a two cycle engine.
two cycle? if you mean two stroke, not necessarily, if you had 3 double-acting pistons, one valving rod and one crank to actually extract some work from the thing, it's not beyond the realms of possibility.
What lubricates the Pistons?
Maria Maniscalco Four extra parts.
Air film?
for small hobby engines like these where pressure loss and efficiency isnt a big deal the fit between piston and piston wall is probably enough. and brass is a pretty slippery metal as well is copper so friction somewhat minimal. in certain Stirling engines and also ball bearings they use graphite powder as a dry lubricant, and i can see it being maybe useful here.
the engine is called the rotory vee in the working model it had 6 vee pistons and was a 2 cycle with incredibly fast speed and who knows how much hp. that engine should be devolped!
Sadly UA-cam only allows me one WOW!
Wowwwwwwwww
Neat idea but i don't see this being used in anything. Its shaped way to funny no output power that i can tell and if there was a way to put this underload i would imagine the bend at the duel piston would just break.
Wow! How powerful, efficient was it? Was there ever any practical application?
Ashley Zinyk you could use it for something belt driven quite easily
wrap a belt around one of the cylinder blocks
well it would be less efficient than a steam turbine, so its not gonna be used for any energy applications. looks like he used copper for the piston and brass for the cylinder, dont know the friction coefficient on those but might be better for efficiency to use aluminum instead of copper. looks like it can be miniaturized, so you can have a really small steam engine, which is kinda an application?
I dont think its useless! a mechanical computer make be able to take advantage of it? just a simple rotary -> shaft convert can help already.
I didnt say Wow , I said Ay Caramba!! can you make one for me to run my 430lb motorcycle? with a gas combustion engine!
Interesting concept but I'm guessing itss not all that useful?

Witchcraft! Witch!
Surprasing
