Two-Cylinder V-Twin Gas Powered Engine

[distructor20]

Can you drive something with? With like a drive belt just like old steam engines?

[sbeer6er]

harley

[Phonologie]

How much HP ?

[theultradramaking]

now will it power my pencil sharpener

[mikehinch67]

Beautiful engineering

[vcp1985]

this is how my yamaha banshee works ;)

[richardarichter123]

such a sweet engine

awesome

[pacog92]

pretty cool

[DrGoodwrench64]

I know the OP of this video said that it runs on gasoline, however, the lack of a couple things make me wonder if this is even real or if this is a faked video.

1) Where is the gas and where is the gas being fed into this motor?

2) Is this a 2-stroke or 4-stroke type engine? If it is a 2-stroke engine, where's the 2-stroke exhaust smoke? If this is a 4-stroke engine, where is the normal exhaust smoke?

3) An open-frame motor needs OIL. Where is the oil?

Things that make you go Hmm...

[ARR016a]

@DrGoodwrench64

1. it runs on propane, the fuel lines can be seen clearly at 0:43, up the side of the block and into the motor.

2. im assuming its a 4-stroke, and if memory serves me correctly, propane doesnt burn with smoke

3. probably lard on the connecting pins or something

[Superchickenman159]

it sounds like it's pooing constantly

[criticaboutvids]

How cute.

[ZEG8704]

Lovely with the typical sound of a V-engine :-)

[jkeelsnc]

Cool.

[MrMegaWolfeman]

that thing a hemi?

[bwrodczek]

das ist kein V-Motor sondern ein Reihenmotor da die Pleul an verschiedenen Kurbelzapfen sitzen.

[cometpowell]

butane buddy, butane. not gas

[lazzer408]

@cometpowell Butane is a gas. "Gasoline" is a liquid.

[cometpowell]

@lazzer408 funny thing is, butane, under pressure is a liquid. So when you put it in the fuel chamber of the V-Twin, it will be a liquid and the normal cycle of an engine will occur.

[lazzer408]

@cometpowell I am aware but I think you ment gasoline correct?

[DrGoodwrench64]

@lazzer408

Let's get our terminology correct...

Butane at normal atmospheric pressure (open container at ground level) is a VAPOR, not a gas.

Gasoline at normal atmospheric pressure, is a liquid.

[WARD5KUSTOMZ]

thats neat but how do you keep the bearings and cylinder was oiled?

[josderedneck22]

thats a really sweet machine you got there man !! did you made it yourself? were does the spark come from ? i didnt see an ignition for the conderserpoints.

[hunterziegelmann]

Can i burn my FARTZ to make it work BTW sounds like a popcorn machine... COOL!

[romanos83]

oil ????

[vwflat4driver]

your not from america are you?

[divisioneight]

Doesn't a V-twin have both pistons sharing a common coupling on the crankshaft?

[vwflat4driver]

@divisioneight only if you have a single crankpin v-twin..(aka harley-davidson) but any engine with 2 cylinders in a v configuration is called a v -twin

[adrianspiridon]

@vwflat4driver Nope, you're wrong ! This engine is a V2. If it have had only one crank pin then it would have been a V-Twin

[cometpowell]

@divisioneight it is is, isnt it?

[MegaZsolti]

lol vintage chopper engine :D

[SthealthRaider]

how do you time the spark?

[hakea801]

could it run on methane?

[19wael96]

cool pretty neat

sounds nice

[shotgunwalter]

you must make these for hammacher schlemmer.they sell them for a 1000......

[brencooke]

i wish mine would do that :( ... im building my v-twin with electro magnets though...

[silexrifl]

is it powerfull?

[vigcs]

Neat. What kind of RPMs was it turning during that video?

[19wael96]

i guess 2300 or so rpm

[kusinagi]

Great work making this, I wish I could get a copy, as a conversation starter, hehe COOL!

[mr47uk08]

i only sin this 2day in a catalouge that came threw my door, how strange,,, its costs £725 . 1.5cc per cylinder virtuly fume free runs between 200 and 1200rpm amazin . according to the discription in this catalouge. an im not sure but it may be 4st it dus say hear it has valves? i dno ?

[dacasman]

i love the sound :D

[mongo5888]

Nice engine!

[FliegenCockatiel]

Is it 2 or 4 stroke? Based on the exhaust, it looks 2 stroke, but where would the precompression occur with no crank case?

[niffi2]

Gas/Air Mixture blows out the burned gases from the top. Its two stroke.

[xadam2dudex]

that musta cost a pretty penny to make.. does it run on gasoline or LP gas ?

[FliegenCockatiel]

Gasoline, quite obviously. It had spark plugs.

[blondemax]

LPG engines have spark plugs too. it ignights the gas/air mixture

[matt420740]

@FliegenCockatiel It will run on Propane or Butane. Not Gasoline.

[Skoda130]

@matt420740 It depends. If you make/use a foam carburettor for it, it would probably work.

[ARR016a]

propane accually

[deputym9]

sounds like an old triumph

[shoprat17]

looks kinda like the oppisite of a 2 stroke diesil (they have the valve on teh exuast)

[futurepredator8]

nice.how do u make it?

[Armapax]

magnifique moteur, Bravo !

[gwheyduke]

Very nice video, and interesting engine!

Is this a four stroke cycle or two stroke cycle? I would be interested to see how the valves operate.

[JETZcorp]

I would guess that it's a 4-stroke, because you can see some movement going on up-top. With the 2-stroke, the piston and associated pieces (rod, wrist pins, etc) are the only moving parts, while a 4-stroke requires valves and such moving around up-top.

That's my guess, anyway.

[MF11283]

I dont know as a fact, but it looks like a 2 stroke to me with an intake valve, yes 2 strokes can have vales 2 stroke diesels have exhaust valves I belive maybe they are intake, dont remember, but there only apears to be one valve up top moving and the exhaust comes out at the bottom of the stroke, I didnt build it though so I dont know for sure

[cwiqa]

nice!

[superfunnyman123]

i wana see a 4 stroke v twin?

[Sparrtani26]

where u get it i want one

[IDarkMemoriesI]

thats so cool! :D

[noobsound]

hope santa will put one of these under my cristmass tree :D

[superfunnyman123]

very nice i noticed that each piston ran on an indapendint crank, witch means more power!

Harly motorcycles v twin's run on 1 crank only witch reduces power! if u didn't know Harly owners---

[sasipse]

simply beatiful

[Fwbs]

y dose no 1 re these

id love to hear it roar

[mrlowdangle]

cool

but why havnt you stuck it to your skateboard yet?

or at least turn it into a nosehair trimmer.

[goclick]

I think it needs some little mufflers :)

[123asad123]

this is a air powered one. i have a similar thing on a smaller scale fitted to my plane

[toreyjw1]

where in the description do you see AIR POWERED? do you not see how it says V-Twin GAS POWERED.

[mrf350]

Is there any oil to mess with for lubrication?

[boundfourglory]

its very pretty but it looks and sounds like a pneumatic engine ie air pressure dirven, i didnt see any exhaust

still, very pretty

[tim5656]

how dont you see exaust see the 2 shiny pipes on the side

[boundfourglory]

maybe im crazy but i dont see the exhaust. give me a time where you can see it clearly

[tim5656]

the hole time this motor looks like a fuel injected 2 stroke with 1 valve at the top and exaust ports on the side

[boundfourglory]

i mean smoke not pipes, i can see the pipes

[jacobc666]

it dosn't burn oil so there is no smoke

[boundfourglory]

well apparently its a two stroke so it does burn oil and even if it wasnt there should be some exhaust

[jacobc666]

it burns butane so theres no smoke and no oil

[ReisendeEuropa]

it is a beautiful and functional work of mechanical art :D

[Mott555]

Technically it's not a V-twin, for it to be a V-twin both cylinders would have to drive the same point on the crankshaft (if anyone cares). Still, pretty cool machine.

[mouserorignal]

fine now put it in a toy car ;)

[shizzel122]

oh YEAH 5cc

[tpvalley]

Is the inlet valve atmosphere controlled, I can only see 1 pushrod per cylinder?

Does the gas enter the cylinder head, without throttle valve, just a mixture control?

[TheFartenator]

I think yes on both counts.

[rednecksinspace]

Anyone who's curious this engine is made by a german company called Maier. This it the V-Twin model they also have a single, inline twin, four stroke single, and a four cylinder radial. oh and they run on lighter butane.

[Threadoflength]

Thats awesome! But at $670.00 its a bit pricey..

[chris746568462]

look at those mini spark plugs :D

[riils]

sounds like toy harley :)

[rednecksinspace]

thats because its the same cylinder orientation (and exhaust system[open exhaust])

[tocaracer06]

where do you find this

[NielsMF]

his is awesome!

[crushnkill]

Interesting! I'd love one of those on my desk!

[kevanman]

sounds like my snowmobile but really quiet

[corvette6698512]

man they have some awesome things. how is it oiled though?

[rednecksinspace]

its a kit so when you build it you oil the cylinders and then take them out periodically and oil them.
