Lego 1660 rpm V8 Posted by: nicjasno
Video duration: 84 seconds So, this one is even faster. But still not good enough. Back to the drawing board... Related: engine, lego, pneumatic, v8 |

Lego V8 - more refined Posted by: nicjasno
Video duration: 110 seconds This time not more rpms, just a more refined machine, poducing its power more smoothly. The crank is stabbilised with 2 paralel shafts, which prevent it from twisting = more power. Switches use scotch yoke principle of operation. Related: engine, lego, pneumatic, v8 |

More rpms from the V8 Posted by: nicjasno
Video duration: 68 seconds I abandoned the double cam setup in favor of a pushrod setup. It has much promise. I have to further tweak the opening times, to hopefully get some consistent 1800 rpm numbers out of it. Related: engine, lego, pneumatic, v8 |

Lego 2400 rpm inline 2 Posted by: nicjasno
Video duration: 93 seconds This time a small inline engine using the small lego cilynders. It's doing only 2400 rpms, but since it's only 2 cilynders the vibrations are extreme :( I know that those small cilynder engines are capable of much more, but with only 2 cilynders i won't achieve much more (probably). The speed computer is geared down 3:1 for better accuracy. Related: engine, inline, lego, pneumatic |

Lego 1940rpm V6 Posted by: nicjasno
Video duration: 66 seconds I fixed at least the leaks in the air hoses. Gained 200 rpms. Now on to the switches. Related: engine, lego, pneumatic, technic, v6 |

Lego 1500 rpm V8 Posted by: nicjasno
Video duration: 56 seconds The engine actually runs at 1540 for a second or two. I still have lots of work to do untill this runs as desired (1600-2000 rpms), but it has come a long way. At the end you can hear the compressor kicking in. Related: engine, lego, pneumatic, v8 |

V6 under development Posted by: nicjasno
Video duration: 51 seconds Just a quick test, to see how smooth the new V6 mechanicals work. The pistons have been removed, so i can fix some leakages. I think the mechanical side works pretty smooth. Related: engine, lego, pneumatic, v6 |

Lego V8 dragster "burnout" Posted by: nicjasno
Video duration: 11 seconds Here's a video of the dragster doing a burnout. No tire smoke is coming out, unfortunately, but the engine spins the wheels on the spot. Related: burnout, dragster, engine, lego, pneumatic, v8 |
