2 CYLINDER DIESEL TAPLIN TWIN 15CC running, vintage RC engine(not nitro or glow !)

[da8ish]

enjoyed this video. thanks

[wilun123]

I love the smell of diesel in the morning

[NMSchultz1]

damn should have put that in my traxxas revo haha

[ShortyzProductionz]

Its a 2 strike diesel

[jonasjdsp]

sou um garoto apaixonado por mecanica e hoje vejo o por que vocês são primeiro mundo

parabéns

[ilovemyhonda250ex]

why dont they put these in rc cars today?

[xcalico1]

@ilovemyhonda250ex won't accelrate fast. But hpi jusst made 1/8 gas rc cars. they're coming out pretty soon

[ilovemyhonda250ex]

@xcalico1 i just say that today im fucking excited

[nilselsner]

OMG the sound grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[HeliCrfCbrToyTacoman]

WOW!!! awesome!!!!!

[thenitrorcfreak]

deleted my cmment due to the fact that i know arguements last for months on youtube, anyway, rapmoz, nice vid and collection of engines :)

[crankbv1]

Back in the fifties,glow plug motors were a very rare thing indeed and most of us model boat and plane builders had diesel engines of various makes. But they were all compression ignition and of the two stroke system,the fuel being drawn into the crankcase then via a transfer port into the upper cylinder to be compressed and fired. The rpm was increased by the head screw which lowered an internal cylinder head,thus raising the compression ratio. The fuel was castor oil and ether.Oh happy days!

[aussiebug1970]

Both diesel and these model engines should be called "compression igntion" - the method of introducing the fuel doesn't matter then. The fuel used is kerosine with castor oil and ether added - the ether lowers the ignition temp needed. The compression ratio is variable via the threaded screw in the heads - this adjusts the ignition point (timing). This one is a marine version with flywheel and water jackets. Tiny aero versions were popular in the 50s and 60s.

[stuntboysam98]

now you need to put it on a RC car

[kissa02]

It sounds angry! :P

[thenitrorcfreak]

i thought that diesel engines were glow engines?

[aussiebug1970]

@thenitrorcfreak No they aren't. Some diesels have glow plugs for pre-warming, but they all rely on high compression ratios to produce a high air temp in the cylinder so the kerosine-like fuel ignites. Glow-plug engines light the methanol (alcohol) fuel via the glowing plug. Vegetable oils work well in diesels too - peanut, soy, etc. Diesel fuel has the opposite of an octane rating, called the cetane rating - tells you how easily it ignites when heated enough inside the engine.

[aussiebug1970]

@thenitrorcfreak

Oh dear. Nitrofreak - There is a "glow" position on the ignition key which you hold for 20-30 seconds on a cold day to pre-warm the cylinders so your diesel will start easier. They DONT glow all the time the engine is running. Diesel fuel does not need "constant" heat - it just needs air hot enough at the moment of fuel injection to initiate combustion. And my comment on "kerosine" referred to model engines, not cars etc. For info, I own 3 diesel trucks.

[DarkgreenToXiC]

it works with diesel? Better less PS and use with nitro :D

[unimogman404]

The first diesel Rudolph Diesel made ran on Peanut oil. If this one can run on peanut oil, let's call it a "diesel" engine, otherwise, it is not ! ;o)

[curbshoppin]

i love cool stuff

[Roymillington1]

Fantastic,

[brushbros]

Are you running a propeller? If it hits your titty, then . . . Why not use a blunt edged disk? Think of how cool it would sound to ramp up speed on a heavy flywheel. Just wondering. Your engines have a really vicious sound; I like it. Rick

[madman1124]

it is a beauty :)

[rapmoz]

@madman1124 :You're right, thanks!

[MrTommo99]

@rapmoz where can i get one of these engines from there great

[marybuggy1]

you think they can make a hybrid prius out of that motor lol

[CanadianTechHelps]

Shit, I really wanna put that on my Revo :O

[ollonsvin]

i love just see him standing in the smoke smoking! :-)

[sp5201]

Great work

[TheMarschmallow]

very nice how much?

[tiger0tank]

This would make a good scale size motor for an rc Bugatti Type 57 or any race car from that age :) sounds right too

[SlobbyHill]

Has more torque than any chevy.

[justin18349]

uhuuu....Man that sound's like a diesel one..instead of pertrol..

what torque it has?

[boilingpoint2]

how many rpm ?

[rapmoz]

@boilingpoint2 : probably around 7000/8000 RPM with a lot of torque...

[boilingpoint2]

@rapmoz Oo what the ..? I thought the limit of diesel engine was around 4500 rpm

[rapmoz]

@boilingpoint2 : In fact, these model engines should be named "self ignition" and not "diesel" as they have not an injection fuel pump, only a simple carburetor ; moreover their fuel is a mix of ether/castor oil/Coleman fuel.

Standard self ignition engines are rated @ 10/12000 rpm +, and race engines reach more than 20000!

[RFTAEC100]

@rapmoz Incorrect. Rudolph invented the engine so that it could ignite the heavy fuels and generate more torque with the thermodynamic principle. It has nothing to do with carburation or fuel injection. Gasoline engines HAVE fuel injection systems and aren't called diesels. And about the fuel... Ether, kerosene, even naphta was used originally to run diesels. Diesel fuel these days is nothing like the fuel that was used back then. Read about it! :P Its part of the hobby ^_^

[rapmoz]

@RFTAEC100 : sorry, it's not exact: the original diesel patent depicts an engine where the air is first admitted by a valve system, then compressed. After that, the fuel is injected by an air pump and explodes due to the overheated air, burnt gases are driven out through an exhaust valve.

During the 20's, L.E. Inchauspé and R.Bosch have improved this system with the invention of the injection pump allowing higher RPM on diesel engines.

These gears are not visible on thisTaplin engine.

[RFTAEC100]

@rapmoz I know. Diesel only wanted to prove that fuels could ignite with no spark and that it could improve performance. Diesel did not designed an engine around a fuel injection pump, he designed an engine around a cylinder with air compressed to a thermodynamic state. If the and engine works with the compression-ignition principle, it's a diesel, Hands down.

[rapmoz]

@RFTAEC100

Yes! you know: it's not a diesel but however it's a diesel!

Just return to the first words of my first reply to bollingpoint2: [In fact, these model engines should be named "self ignition" and not "diesel"]

Then, just read the text of Diesel's original patent (US608845) about the fuel injection by pump with exhaust valves. I don't think Diesel could have a patent dispute with Colonel Taplin as he did with H A Stuart.

Maybe we will stop here because it starts to be boring.

[valic000]

Great engine,and a lot of torq,i am sure. Also awsome sound! love the diesels too...the smel is "my chanel" :-)

thanks for put it on the tube.Do you collect specialy this engines?

Regards Peter

[deadguy237]

i bet ist so fuckin torkey

[richardarichter123]

sweet little engine ,like the photos all dissasembled

[nitroairplane]

i love the old tappy

[ashcustomworks]

That's great sounding engine. Like some monstrous GP motorcycle.

[robot797]

i wish i had an engine like that

[xKmotx]

I used to own a Taplin Twin but sold it without ever having run the engine. This video was really nice to watch and see this engine producing smoke and making music! Thanks for making these videos of your rare engines! :)
