Variable Valve Timing Air Engine
Ғылым және технология
In this video, I explore how Variable Valve timing works and how It can be used on an miniature engine such as this. Homemade mini air engines like this can benefit from VVT since it can alter the behavior of the engine.
I used 3d printing in order to design and make this air-powered engine.

You are very underrated. You have good editing, upload schedule, and are smarter than most engineers. It would be cool if you found an engine that works, and 3d print it out of metal. I would also like to see one scaled up and used in a small vehicle, like a dirtbike, four wheeler, or gokart. Edit: Just for clarification, I meant the gas engine that he built. The air one would probably not work as well as you would have to put a heavy compressor on the vehicle or purchase a really long compressor cord which would lose all of its pressure by the time it reaches the engine.

As an engineer I agree.
I know it wasn't just my idea, but I know I mentioned it so I'ma say thanks :)
I'm not a 100% sure, but that looks more like one of those low voltage bulbs instead of an LED. Try adding a variable resister to the drill motor leads, this should allow you to vary the load, allowing you to demo the effect VTEC has. Awesome video as always! Also, that running in the 90s jumpscare had me rolling! 🤣

You should try using PA6 GF30. It's really resistant plastic (fuel, oil, friction, and most importantly, temperature). it's similar to the stuff they use to make intake manifolds nowadays. Glass fiber reinforced.

I have a few more ideas for variable valve timing: 1. I've seen it in a lego pneumatic engine video, where the whole valve control assembly was tilted relative to the whole engine. 2. Using a differential, you can have shaft input on one of the three sides, output on the other and adjust the timing by twisting the third (which would stay stationary most of the time). I guess this idea can also be applied to planetary gearboxes.
That is not an LED, that is an incandescent bulb from old christmas tree lights with a "fail safe" feature, namely when the filament cuts off the "arms" widen and short out since there is a coil at the bottom of the light bulb. Have a look, maybe it is already blown. BTW they were 12V each back then.
resin 3d printing has to be the answer to your combustion engine melting, and you can get them MUCH MUCH MUCH cheaper than a metal 3d printer, and is only slightly more expensive than the ender 3! good luck! (brilliant video btw)

You also never complain about how long it takes to do stuff behind the scenes - printing and designing parts, assembling, testing, fixing, filming, filming again, commenting, cutting... I know how much time goes into that and I just want you to know I appreciate it. Hope you continue dude, big thumbs up!

I love how every video you release gets more and more refined and ambitious! There aren't taht many people (none as far as I know) that would take up making a plastic engine, let alone one with VVT! Can't wait to see what you were teasing at the beginning!
You should do the thing where you bake the parts in fine powder to strengthen the plastic. This may help with some of your part failures, though it would mean re-finishing some of the surfaces.

Thank you Testicle Inspector
Clever design on the vvt phase adjuster. Nicely done.
the slowmotion part goes incredible hard, amazing
an inline 2 cylinder with a 180° offset might help with the vibration by providing an opposite force, canceling out the force of the piston. or build a balancing shaft. either way the vibrations are definitely causing issues and likely led to some of the failures because of the repeated stresses. also the stopcock should be isolated from the inlet, as the big brass valve is putting quite a bit of strain on the inlet, which is what likely let to the intake cracking.
This channel is unreasonably entertaining and generally interesting, and we're literally watching the production getting REALLY good every video. Why don't you have more subscribers!!!???

MAN, please, do not sweat about running or not, the procedure of your approach to the problems is more than enough and fascinating to see, really, really cool. What is extremely complicated was given on a plate a baby can eat it up, bad metaphor, but you get it. Make more of this content. Subbed, engineering and designing takes time, its not university. We are here for that said process, not results.
You could make a variable timing using a differential or planetary gears. In a differential, if you use one output as input and the other as output, moving the input will change the "phase" of the output relative to the input. Extrapolate to planetary and you'll get it

Was hoping the video would have been out for Halloween, then it would have made more sense ha
It seems plausible that one could make a centrifugal mechanism that will automatically depress the spline gear to advance the timing. Depending on the spring strength, one could control when the engine will begin to change timing, similar to how the mechanical advance works in an automotive distributor. One design idea would borrow from a mower engine flyweight governor. The center pushrod would already move in the correct direction and depress the spline gear.

I recommend changing the belt situation as in changing to a rubber belt and adding more gears including a rolling gear to help keep the belt under proper tension and prevent it from flying off
This is super interesting to me especially since my car has a V6 with VVT-i
I just came up with a way to implement variable timing in a possibly simpler way by modifying the tensioner. Instead of tensioning only one side, it has to be a dual-design, tensioning both sides of the belt (like pinching the belt before and after the wheel). Once tensioned, the offset can easily change by moving the tensioning assembly to either side and therefore shortening the belt on one side, and lengthening it on the other side, thus effectively changing the offset.
GREAT VIDEO DUDE

your videos have gotten soo good. your editing quality is awesome, good upload schedule. very interesting videos. love it all! also an interesting Idea is to use an Arduino and hall effect sensor to measure rpm and use a servo to allow the Arduino to adjust the valve timing for the most power at any rpm. this is difficult because it requires dyno tuning to determine the tuning which I cant help you with because I haven't gotten a mini dyno working properly either but even without a dyno a lot of trial and error can result a a decent power curve. I do some air engines and I have an Arduino with a hall effect sensor (and sometimes a coil and magnet) to measure rpm and a servo to adjust intake pressure and it works great, extremely simple to code and easily keeps up with even my 7k rpm engines. My engines are small so i cannot implement a vvt system, iv been trying to make that same style vvt system smaller than 1cm for a while so instead I have permanently set very advanced intake timing and a servo controlled intake pressure to suit the rpm. it results in power similarly steep to a 2 stroke but the Arduino system works flawlessly. plus there are plenty of other benefits of an ecu as you can really do anything you want.
Could probably make a self adjusting timing by using a centrifugal governor to push the thing in more the faster it spins.
the dry comedy alone is enough for me to subscribe
Pneumatic engine with a turbo that uses the exhaust air to spin a turbine to then push more air into the intake, idc if its not effective or efficient, the world needs it right now.

That engine slo-mo video is what a migraine feels like.
You could've also changed the belt tensioner. 1 auto-tensioner and 1 manual adjusting tensioner on the opposed moving side. Very easy and reliable
Really cool design. Maybe you could use a centrifugal actuator for automatic valve timing, that would advance the timing the higher the rpm is.
Can you find angular velocity as a function of delta t, diff between the instant when piston is at the top position vs valve fully opened?
Bro is going to explode in fame in the near future
You've made a Toyota BEAMS in 3D-print, impressive; most impressive.

Literally what I’m doing right now. Gonna see how high I can get the design in rpm’s. I don’t see the piston file in the original google folder for the 4 cylinder air engine. Any idea where I can find it gm to get the prongs on?
