  • hii ...i need to build an elbow in science class ...im really lost :( can you help ? 

  • @TheVivipanini Hi, Sorry, but i can not. I never buid it because it turns out that the concept of that engine is really bad. Sealing issues, leacking lubricate, pistons sensitive to even small tolerances, need of high pressure to run with only small power do not leave big chances of success. If you can avoid it. If you can't, get help of a good machinist and insist to stick with very low toleraces.

  • That 's great engineering but , what are the elbows made of?

  • @hellraised187

    Steel, just as well as the real elbow engine videos show here...

  • My thanks to Orang.,Another question;When was this type of motor invented?I have never ever heard of one before now.

  • Anther question to the engineers ut there.How is the bottom"cylinder" rotated?Via a turbine or impeller or what?I am assuming that the prime mover in this device is the bottom cylinder.Or am I wrong-again?

  • @Squarerig

    Both cylinders deliver the same power.

    You feed some compressed air to the backward connector.

    each cylinder has a channel in the base plate / stand to get this compressed air.

    due to the phase shifting of the cylinders, at any given time one of them is producing work - just like an otto motor does due to its crank.

  • whats the name of the song

  • The Entertainer by Scott Joplin. Best known as the main track from the movie The Sting. 

  • I had no idea that such an engine existed.Were they ever used industrially?Are there any advantages in their construction over conventional steam engines.Who can assist me?

  • @Squarerig

    No, not that i am aware of.

    The concept is unique so hobbyists like it.

    But it is messy because it spits plenty of oil .

  • @orangmakan or, make it out of a slippery plastic such as Delrin, and then you dont need any oil, becuase that plastic (lol most plastic is made from oil) it a really oily type of plastic.. it's solid, but it is spillery, like an ice-cube

  • @HeadShot360IN

    Thanks for sharing the idea but Delrin grows when getting hot.

    Usually graphite or teflon is used for lubrication-free and low-friktion machines.

  • what is the music caled that u were playing in the video ?

    thankyou

  • 1:30 verry high note.. :0

  • what is the song

  • "The Entertainer" - Scott Joplin

  • Excellent vid what programs i need to do like same =D 5/5

    but i am doing that first time so please can u say meh programs what are easy-to-use.

  • Hi, thank you.

    Sorry, but i do not know much about 3d software but that it usually is very expensive. So i can not guide you with this...

  • @orangmakan lol that means you pirated it :D

  • Blender is a free, open source program and it's pretty easy, look up tutorials on here ;)

  • Solidworks best ever try it out

  • @luutappi i use pro-desktop, it isn't the easiest to use at first but after a bit of practise its fine. it is usually expensive, but there are videos on how to get it for free.

  • Excellent work and well presented. Coincidentally I also have this very same engine on my to-do list.

  • Comment removed

  • Thank you for the comment.

    There will always be better solutions around for everything, but povray is what i know and have :-)

  • i was wondering how this worked. this is the first time i've even heard of a elbow engine!. but... CAD... pro engineer is way! better

  • Excellent video and CAD work!
