Wow, I just Googled "how a radial airplane engine works from the inside," and here I am. Awesome and beautiful! Now I know. I used to work in the modeling and animation field, so I know how much time and effort went into this. Amazing job, just subscribed!
Great work! A few notes: - Radial engines were used in WW II too. In fact, many are still used today. - Radial engines are not used often on lightweight aircraft. They tend to be too heavy and powerful. Most lightweight aircraft use a 4 or 6-cylinder boxer-type engine.
Thanks mate, and thanks for the general comments about radial engines - great summary My description regarding application is focused on the Rotec R2800 and Rotec Aerosport current market.
Absolutely enjoyed watching this video! Awesome job creating this, & I recognized the Rotec Radial engine used in the video. Thanks for your creativity!
Thanks Michael :) that is super positive feedback and made my day! I will let you know if I ever animate grass growing haha but I do have a pretty awesome Tattoo Machine animation being released soon..probs about a week to launch!
Found this through Reddit, love it,. there's something highly satisfying about seeing something complex come together from simple components. Like Lego level 100. This must have taken you ages to model and animate but I could watch this sort of stuff all day and I hope you make another!
how can i make a 3d animation program for an engine i am interested in? which program should i use? how do i insert each part from the service manual? how do you get this result? Thanks for the help.
I would recommend that you use the softwares that I used here... for your 3D modelling and technical drawings for manuals you should use solidworks cad... and then for rendering purposes making realistic visuals you should use key shot.
Great work, Dan! You've invested a boat load of time in the model - you should use that to your advantage and animate/render some section cuts that describe the piston, rod, cylinder relationship etc. It would also be amazing to play with in VR. Let me know if you want to collaborate.
Thanks mate, and yes I have put countless hours into this animation so I am glad you and many others are enjoying my work :) I completely agree that sectioning the model to show the internal workings would be incredible and it would be awesome to use in VR. Feel free to contact me on www.dancabraldesign.com for any project related work
@@DanCabralDesign I have been flying several warbirds with various P&W , Wright and Jacobs engines for more than a decade and only now really “ get” the engine .. thank you 🙏
Damnnnnn this animation is so detailed 🔥 i wanted to design rotory engine but could not find any suitable video explanation but your video is just amazing man .
Hello Tim, thanks for the comment And the planetary reduction is in the model, but not shown in the exploded animation as it is a preassembled subassembly. This model has never actually been purchased, but you can contact me via email to discuss other opportunities at dancabraldesign@gmail.com
This is a Rotec radial engine (not to be confused with a rotary engine). This is not a reproduction of an old engine, but a new clean-sheet design that is used in a wide variety of both modern and vintage-looking light aircraft. www.rotecaerosport.com/
Thank you :) Yes there are preassembled bronze bushes pressed into both ends of the rods, including a bronze bearing on the crank end of the master rod that mates with the crank
Yes Christian you are right, most WW1 aircraft were powered by rotary, but indeed this is one of them and they are currently used predominately in WW1 style aircraft by home-builders and aviation enthusiasts that build WW1 replicas. I like your last statement and can't say you are wrong ;) Some people have described them as a death trap haha! But I know there are many types of lightweight aircraft successfully flying today powered by these Rotec Radials. From my position I am just interested in the design and I am please with my animation of this engine :) I hope you enjoyed the video!
Hey awesome video.....Superb...... One humble request to you is would you make a video on radial engine carburetion system starting from fuel tank to inlet port ....as well as the lubrication system......Plzz its a bit hard for me to analyse it,
Ok great, I do not show the fuel delivery, but it at 46s you can see the intake manifold and carburetor coupling. Check the Rotec website for more info - www.rotecaerosport.com
Excelente animación, y muy educativa. Gracias por compartirla... Solo un detalle para evitar confusión. No sé sobre que planos tu has basado este render, pero el motor no es de la WWI, mas bien pareciera ser un Continental A-70, muy popular en los '30s.
Ma questo motore come è alimentato perche' si vede la turbina il collettore di aspirazione una pompa AC meccanica per il carburante ok , ma il carburatore o l'iniezione ??
Hi sir I want to ask, If I want to animate movement which has constraint link one part and another does we have to animate it one by one? I make 3d model in inventor, When I render in keyshot, I rotate the crankchaft but the connecting rod doesnt move, do I have to animate each part?I cant figure how to make it happen,because it has a rotational and translational movement in a same time
Hi Ian, you will likely need to do this for the Master Rod and only one of the link rods. The animation steps you add will then be able to be copied and applied to the other link rods as they will be identical parts. You are correct, you will need to do a rotational and transnational animation steps simultaneously. Be sure to orient them about the parts coordinates and not the render scene, this way you will be able to copy and apply linked animation steps to the other link rods/piston assemblies
I am just thinking about how they made it with paper and pencil early when it was manufactured during war.. without 3d modelling software thats insane.
Im searching for a video uploaded a long time ago about a CGI assembly of an engine where the parts just fly into their place, anyone if you know, please. Send it to me!!
Thanks mate, haha it is nice to know someone does! I think it is pretty cool for a UA-cam free track - it is called 'Aviated' Nice name and appropriate ;)
It is hard to say as I re-rendered snippets and developed this animation over 18 months. I think the rendering this scene in one go would've taken me a few weeks (on my old CAD Laptop). On my current CAD Machine it would take approx 3-6days.
Great Video. Shit music. I don't think the eneration of people who are familiar with what a radial engine is appreciate some sort of a booming distraction going through their sound system. Seriously, we are not adolescents anymore.

No worries thanks Eli
Don't know who you are but your work is highly appreciable.
Thanks mate :) I am a Product Design Engineer based in Melbourne Australia
I have been wondering how a radial engine was lubricated.....now I know! Great animation!! Thank you!
No worries Larry and thanks for you message, glad it helped
Outstanding! Makes you weep at the number of such engines that were destroyed during wars!
Thanks Chal Chac, and yes it is terrible to think how many of these magnificent machines were destroyed

beautiful work. great.
@@chomy2436 thanks mate :)
A beautiful animation, I think the best I've seen for radial engines. Compliments
Thanks so much Severino :)
The most complex and detail i ever seen
Thanks mate, I tried :-)
And now I have a basic understanding of rotory engines. Thanks.
That's a radial engine. For rotary engine, do a search for "Wankel engine."
@@jayphilipwilliamsalso wrong
Brilliant animation! Thank you.
Thank you Peter :)
This was great! Good job, I’m an A&P student and I found this very helpful
Thanks Keiaos I am glad to hear that you found it helpful :) Feel free to share it with you A&P buddies and it might help them as well!
could you tell which program you used to create this assembly animation , absolutely wonderful , professional , awesome
Thank you for the kind comments i'm glad you loved the work I've made... which was using KeyShot software for rendering
My God. You could animate grass growing in real time and I'd still watch in .25 speed to soak up the details in every frame.

Great video. Any bearings between piston and piston rod, piston rod and crank?
Thank you :) Yes there are preassembled bronze bushes pressed into both ends of the rods, including a bronze bearing on the crank end of the master rod that mates with the crank
Are you render using Keyshot software?
👍 yep
This is poetic. Apart from The Beaver, The Engineer is the most intelligent animal on this planet.
Thanks Martti I am glad you liked it...I wish I was a Beaver haha
In ww1 most "radial" engines were rotary engines, which is a lot different than this.
Looks to be a Rotec radial. Maybe its already broken! :D

I think I follow what is going on. Where is the fuel delivery, Is the carburetor missing or did I miss it?
Ok great, I do not show the fuel delivery, but it at 46s you can see the intake manifold and carburetor coupling. Check the Rotec website for more info - www.rotecaerosport.com

There is quite a bit to it, but hopefully this video is a good reference
This video would help a lot, thanks.
@@KevinWoodsWorkshop no worries mate, good luck and Happy New Year!
Hey mate, can u tell which softwares help this high and fine rendering?
Hey mate, try using key shot for rendering
which software used for rendering and exploded view
Initially exploded in SW, and then rendered in Keyshot
You have a new subscriber Bro ✌🏾😀
Thanks Messina :)
Awesome work Mate! I like the white background a lot... is that a HDR light box or from Keyshot or Solidworks... looks sick :)

Lots of parts... interesting
..it has a Blower!
Great work ....how contacting you plz
is this using inventor brother?
Superb rendering and animation.
How long does it take to render the whole thing for 5 min?
It turns out that Harley motorcycles only use two cylinders. OHV(Over Head Valve) engines limit higher performance.
Yeah that’s sounds right
That was crazy bitchin'! Thanks!
Now do the P&W R4360. ;-)
Ha ha thank you David
would be useful if there were a version with the names of the parts flashing on the screen as each one is put in place
Yes I agree, I will hopefully get a chance to do that one day
Way cool
Thanks Shawn :)
I am just thinking about how they made it with paper and pencil early when it was manufactured during war.. without 3d modelling software thats insane.
Yes it is unbelievably impressive

Thanks mate, haha it is nice to know someone does!
I think it is pretty cool for a UA-cam free track - it is called 'Aviated'
Nice name and appropriate ;)
Build your own radial engine from plans by Ageless Engines
Only imagine a Double Wasp or Majaor Wasp!
yeah thats cool!

Beleza.
Thank you....I had to google translate :)
Pity it showed a ROTEC , wouldn't touch one with bargepole.
Nice, Reddit brought me here!
Amazing beautiful illustration! Why ruin it with a crap soundtrack?
Look's cool. To bad these Rotec radial engine are so unreliable.
Thanks Joe...haha I do agree with you. This is a case where design work is much better than the atual product showcased and the reputation.
Nice back in the days .. but to much moving parts causes plenty break down and maintenance
Great Video. Shit music. I don't think the eneration of people who are familiar with what a radial engine is appreciate some sort of a booming distraction going through their sound system. Seriously, we are not adolescents anymore.
Great presentation. Music, meh. Doesn't need it.
Thanks Joseph, fair enough I kinda agree. I just selected a free track from YT called Aviated, I liked the name of the track more then the sound haha
Amazing
Thank you! Cheers!
