Cool car, but what's the point if you have to run behind it with an air compressor? The "engine" is neat in how it uses pneumatics and switches and all, but the fact that it probably can't carry the weight or conceal the size of the compressed air tank within the vehicle kind of defeats the purpose of a powered lego car. That car is just dying to be radio controlled with electric motors and a light lithium battery.
@zanuha Really funny you immature idiot... I just didn't see the title cause i was using my iPhone when i typed that comment... and it was 2 in the morning. Nice comeback, Dumb ass.
@WpA09 an inline 2 would need 2 switches. The v8 can have only 4, because the first 2 pairs of cylinders are on a flat plane crank, connected to the crank of the second pair of cylinders by 90 degrees.
I absolutely LOVE real physically working piston engines that power real world vehicles... like cars aren't as amazing because they were engineered with trillions of dollars over many decades, but things like this really amaze and stun me. I really really want to make a real working engine IRL at this scale with something like lego or something else if there is anything else. I've been making engines in a game called Garry's Mod where you move in-game objects around to make things - it's hard..
@super6plx i would say that these lego things aren't as amazing as cars, because they weren't engineered, they're just imitating all those decades of engineering done by the auto industry, not to mention they just run on electric motors. it's not like this guy casted all these legos either,
@sleeperkickers You are utterly wrong. This car doesn't have an motor. The Author actualy crafted a true pneumatic engine with lego pieces: pistons, valves, cogs & drivechain. The engine itself is fed by a compressor. The true feat is this guy was able to build a fonctional engine starting from pieces that wheren't ment to do so. He own the design for a "lego engine" if you will. And what if the design is decades old? In the legosphere, this guy is a pro modeler.
no, it's because the wheels aren't LEGO. they're RC wheels. to he bolted them to a plastic board at the back, that has pinholes for lego pieces to fit in... he just adapted it, but he needs the bolt
alex you really gotta stop putting vids of the engine just running. you should do something usefull with it. like build a racing chassis, with a lightweight suspension, the smallest auto transmission, a low center of gravity, smaller wheels, and give it the small piston inline 4 engine that ivan made. that thing would run so fast! and i you would be the LPE hero forever. c'mon, just delight us with something like that
i build these things lol... why not? lol. hey! but you have to reply to my comment! do you agree with me or not? because i strongly believe they have already made the engines good enough, and they should explore other areas!
you build with technic? i love these things, so many options! and yes, they should try to widen the view of functionality. like you said, racing chassis, off road applications, bench models, or even drag strip ready! i would also look into using servos from rc truck for steering. if they haven't already.
they have already. what they haven't is what i'm currently designing... but i can't post that here cuz someone might steal the idea from me! so i'll PM you dude
youre missing a piston

@jbbritzy it is a V8 but as you can see 2 pistons next to each other have the same movement. so... not like in any real V8, but still is a V8.
