Choose one of Phoenix, Kuma, Courbet, Dante Alighieri, Wakeful 6 skilled points commander I hope you enjoy my compilation of crazy Lego Pneumatic engines. If you want to build your own engine you can find individual Lego Parts on bricklink.com. To make engines like the ones in the video, you need modified Lego Pneumatic parts. You can buy them here: www.greengeckoworkshop.com/ or modify them yourself. Check out the GreenGeckoWorkshop KZread Channel for modification instructions, or get an engine kit with ready made parts and building instructions. A compressor is required to run these engines. I use a silent Implotex Airbrush compressor: surl.li/gjyvq, but even a bicycle pump with a soda bottle as air tank works well enough for smaller engines.

    Something these model engines show really well is how the rotation of an engine isn't constant in it's speed; the crank rotates faster when the crank is at 90degrees to the connecting rod, and slowest when it's perfectly in line with the connecting rod. That's why heavy flywheels are used in a lot of 4 cylinder engines, and why engines with more than 4 cylinders are so smooth.

    The 120⁰ for the Inline-3 and V6 was easy (albeit still very clever), but the Inline-5... You made a custom 72⁰ component. And here I was thinking that you couldn't get any more devoted and ground-breaking (other than finding a way to mass-produce and sell Lego sets of these while gaining a decent profit). I am forever impressed.

    now that you've got an ender 5, you should try to print some shorter crankshaft pieces to get a stroke length shorter than 3 bricks. I would love to see what kind of speed you can get with a shorter stroke length. Those pistons seem to have some decent power; I could imagine maybe a stroke length as low as one brick could work.

    Hi! I'm vrey happy to see these experiments with the air engines! Especially the firing order one! Question: Do you plan on using flat-plane crankshafts for your four/eight cylinder engines? You're using cross-plane ones now (90 degrees between each pin, while flat would be 180, basically the two outer pins being on one side, the two inner ones on the other). Flat-plane cranks are used in most 4 and 8 cylinder engines, the exceptions being some sports bikes, which still use cross-plane.

I understand if the point of this is purely educational but since they're both available as LEGO building/engineering techniques it would be nice to see how these arduously-produced stack up to premade motors (drive sources) in terms of ... torque, I guess?

    Something I’ve always wondered, does the orientation of the pistons matter? Like, does an in-line 6 vs a v6, vs a flat 6 make a difference beyond how compact it is overall, or is there a significant differences impact on torque, reliability, etc? Might make for an interesting video comparing them?
