      I studied and practiced fine joinery and carpentry for 5 years. I am by no means a master carpenter. Far from it. But I had the privilege to learn what I learned from master carpenters. A single piece of wood in this application would actually be weaker. Its all about aligning the grain to prevent fracture. The wood is strongest when load is applied perpendicular to the grain, loads applied parallel to the grain cause the wood to split along the grain. If he drilled large holes through the journals and glued in hickory dowel rods through the journals it would have lasted longer. Using laminates of thin layered plywood built up to the needed thickness for the webs of the crank would have also increased strength. Better yet, make the journals out of solid round dowel rod, hickory or ironwood, or osage orange, something like that, and make the webs out of high grade plywood comprised of thin laminate. I still dont think it will work, but it will last longer. You will be able to get the engine to fire this way. How LONG it will last is another question. Another note, the wood must be knot free as knots are only strong under compression, they fall out when tension is applied!

    • @smh9902
      @smh9902 3 роки тому

      @@lessevdoolbretsim Its all very contextual. Its also how the load is applied whether its parallel to grain or not. For example, if you you a plank with a rabbit (a rabbit is an offset tongue with one side of the tongue being a continuation of one face of the board) you want the rabbit side pointing in the direction of the load. If the rabbit is facing against the direction of the load then the grain is more likely to split as you're concentrating the stress inside the inner corner of the rabbit. This is just a simple example of many different facets that must be considered when orienting wood joints to maximize the strength of the plank. Grain orientation and consideration, coupled with high surface area for good flue contact (this is why very fine finger joints can be stronger than dovetails in some applications) is everything when it comes to the strength of wooden joints. Japanese puzzle carpentry is a great example of particularly elegant joinery. When I transitioned from learning fine carpentry due to there no money in the ancient artisinal skills anymore, too few people appreciate fine carpentry for a a carpenter to afford a reasonable living, and I wasn't interested in slapping together homes with nails, I picked up machining and engine building. Read some books on metallurgy and studied engine designing and engineering very intensely for over a decade thus far. Most machinists and welders subconsciously think of metal as a homogeneous material equally strong irrespective of direction, but grain structure also exists in metal. The only true monolithic metals being metal glasses which is a bleeding edge area of materials science research. Castings are the only forms of metals we are familiar with that are effectively agnostic to direction of load. Rolled bars, sheets, plates, etc. derive much of their strength from the compression and orientation of the crystallized grains of metal being compressed and elongated parallel to the direction of the rolling mill. This is why forged parts are, all other factors being equal, always stronger than billet parts. Their grain structure has been aligned with the shape of the part and consequently is uniquely suited to handle the loads for which the part has been designed for. Billet parts are like this wooden crankshaft, the grain of the metal has not been oriented to optimize strength. Forged metal components differ from wood in that their gran orientation can be made to elegantly bend, ebb, and flow with the contours and corners of the parts being manufactured. Wood cant do that with near the degree of flexability and the ability to take sharp corners with grain orientation. Though wood can be bend with steam and pressure to create interesting wooden arches, contours, etc. which are stronger in some situations that straight planks of wood joined together, metal grain structure can be made to take immediate bends that are effectively arbitrarily sharp (IE as tight of a corner as you like) and can be made to do so with much greater ease then steam bending wood.

    VLAD!!! I hope youtube translates my English into russian. I'm a Mechanical Engineering major at a university in Colorado and I wanted to give you suggestions on how to improve the ridgity of your WOODEN crank shaft :). So instead of using glue to just connect the counter weights, main journals and connecting rod journals into one crankshaft unit. Instead, use wooden dowels with the addition of glue to JOIN all the components together. This will give the crankshaft extra mechanical strength than just having glued contact surfaces... If you think of wood grain, it flows in one direction, which is why when chopping wood, it's better to chop it with the grain in the vertical direction instead of the horizontal direction... You probably know this already, but I just wanted to say that with the same concepts of using wooden dowels to connect all the components together, you take advantage of the wooden grain being in the horizontal direction... SO the force exerted onto the connecting rod journals will exert the force onto the wooden dowels, instead of just the glue contact surfaces... I hope you understand this, your channel is an inspiration to me on "thinking outside the box." Please keep up the awsome work man. You aught to do a feature on your show where other people show off the ubsurd mods they have done to their cars lol. Best of luck Vlad. -Evan

      Thinking the same thing. There are woods like that which would work and get it to reliably idle with tensile strengths exceeding 3ksi but the cost and availability is outlandish for some of them. You'd also need a pretty large blank to start with and Ironwood may not be available in such a large size.

    For your second revision I suggest drilling holes in every link and use wooden dowels to strengthen the connections. There are ones being long enough to fit the cranks in full length and noone could honestly tell you didn't just use wood because you did!
    Another thing I was a little concerned about was that every wood glue I know needs loads of pressure while curing. I am not shure, if you have put enough pressure to the linkages.
    And one last thing would be to lube up the pistons with Motocoty and the crankshaft with something along the lines of wax to give you more time to play with the engine.

    • @edifyguy
      @edifyguy 3 роки тому

      Need is relative; the pressure is there to minimize the gaps so there's as much wood and as little glue as possible, and no air. In this application I doubt it made much difference. I fully agree with your idea to reinforce the joints with pins; that would make it MUCH stronger because you'd have solid pieces of wood taking the shear instead of glue joints.

    I am a wood worker. I see that the crankshaft is put together in sections. This can work but I have a couple of suggestions. Wood glue is very strong but needs to dry overnight. Second the glue joints need to be clamped together and clean from any grease. Third to increase the strength you need to use wooden dowels between the joints or use wood screws in each section put together. If you glue two pieces together properly the wood may break before the glue which is very strong. If I had a Lada crankshaft here in Florida I would be inclined to try it. Also try a hard wood maybe Walnut tree wood.

    I studied and practiced fine joinery and carpentry for 5 years. I am by no means a master carpenter. Far from it. But I had the privilege to learn what I learned from master carpenters. A single piece of wood in this application would actually be weaker. Its all about aligning the grain to prevent fracture. The wood is strongest when load is applied perpendicular to the grain, loads applied parallel to the grain cause the wood to split along the grain. If he drilled large holes through the journals and glued in hickory dowel rods through the journals it would have lasted longer. Using laminates of thin layered plywood built up to the needed thickness for the webs of the crank would have also increased strength. Better yet, make the journals out of solid round dowel rod, hickory or ironwood, or osage orange, something like that, and make the webs out of high grade plywood comprised of thin laminate. I still dont think it will work, but it will last longer. You will be able to get the engine to fire this way. How LONG it will last is another question.
