  • Hello everyone, friends! One German company decided to build a diesel engine based on racing technology and cram it into a cruiser. Yes, it sounds at least strange, but the concept of one piston, two connecting rods and two crankshafts actually allowed it to spin 7000 rpm. Absolutely no vibrations. Watch today's video for more details. Enjoy watching and have a great mood!

    This is a nice video, but one correction: Royal Enfield definitely *did* mass produce a diesel motorcycle. It was called the Taurus and it was produced from the 1980s until 2000. Unlike the bike in this video, it was by no means a performance machine, but it did get approximately 200 mpg.

    The contra-rotating twin crank design goes back to Frederick Lanchesters original design in 1895! He was without doubt one of the world's true innovative engineers when it came to engine design. Balancer shafts today are still using his designs from over 100 years ago!
    It's a shame the video did not credit him for this twin crank invention.

      Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Many companies do things like this, in an effort to push technology forward. I’m sure the first guy to spend two days fashioning a pair of wheels met with similar responses-“in the time you’ve wasted making those, you could have just made two trips to carry your stuff, and still had a day and half to accomplish something actually useful!” Or, for a more recent example, consider the lightbulb. When practically everyone already had a workable solution for interior lighting-coal gas or oil lamps-why would a loon like Edison spend so much time and money working on a cockamamie dream for a much more complex technology, relying on brand new and unproven manufacturing processes, and requiring a power source with no existing distribution network? The goal is to figure out how to make a new and worthwhile implement work, at any expense, and then afterward figure out how to make it economically feasible. That said, obviously the company has to figure out a way to balance the books, and many great products have failed disastrously because of brilliant designers’ lack of business acumen. I’m not saying a diesel fueled bike is a great idea, but I’m saying technological progress doesn’t usually match our expectations. In the 50’s they thought by 2024 everyone would be wearing a one-piece silver jumpsuit while commuting in his jet-powered car to his job in a floating cloud city, and that the moon, Venus, and Mars would all have thriving colonies. Instead, we’re streaming UHD videos to our old and crumbling houses and writing letters to each other on our magic pocket computers while growing out our ill-advised mullets and walling ourselves off from genuine human interaction to the greatest extent possible.

      There are two other reasons:
      Range
      Fuel interchangeability
      The first would probably be better achieved by a small efficient petrol engine, or just a bigger fuel tank.
      But the second, that is an absolute enormous problem requiring a diesel motorcycle… for the military. That’s why a few militaries use diesel KLR bikes. Because, for example, the entire US military runs on diesel (or uranium). A parallel tanker system for petrol motorcycles would be a logistical nightmare.

    This is, in my opinion, a stupid design. I was intrigued when it was first annnounced, but the more I thought about it, the less impressed I was.
    I am a fan of diesels, they are my job, so the idea of a diesel bike appealed to me.
    But this engine design has a major flaw, in that it is kinematically redundant.
    The cylinder defines the axis on which the piston moves.
    The dual cranks and conrods also define the axis.
    They are very unlikely to agree given manufacturing tolerances.
    A normal engine will still work just fine if you move the crank relative to the bore axis left, right or down by several mm. (up is more limited....)
    This design requires the cranks to be phaesed _absolutely_ correctly, and the phasing to match _exactly) the bore axis.
    Anything even _slightly_ wrong can only be compensated by the piston rocking in the bore.
    It would probably work better with a single con-rod and no gears, but then the other crank is just a balance shaft driven in a stuopid way.

    • @andypughtube
