Lego 1940rpm V6

[RickBaconsAdventures]

don't get me wrong here, I'm not bashing on your project, I think it's really cool. I just wanted to point you in the right direction, I build real car engines and do performance tuning. I know this stuff

[RickBaconsAdventures]

right, but the cylinders are 90 degrees apart from eachother on the revolution. there's nothing wrong with doing it this way, a few production v6's are like this. but if you want it to run real smooth and faster it needs to be even firing. if you had a mythbusters high speed camera you could see that it's not firing completely even. think about it, 120 degree crank with 90 degree cylinder separation, the math doesn't work out. you need 120 degree crank with 60 degree cylinder seperation

[RickBaconsAdventures]

the problem is that it's 6 cylinders on a 90 degree V so it isn't even firing. add 2 more cylinders and it will even right up

[nicjasno]

@RickBaconsAdventures The engine has a 120 degree crankshaft though.

[ruben4884]

plz make an instruction in the computer plz smal. bit steps it is easy plz

[yellow13ace]

lego abuse!!! lol jk but im wondering, is there any practical use???

[TheTrainguy10]

where do you get those v parts on the frount of the engine? those seem very esential to the v shape engine.

[nicjasno]

@TheTrainguy10 They are lego parts. 3x3 L connector with 4 pins.

[kleineaeug]

@TheTrainguy10 mindstorms nxt

[WpA09]

@TheTrainguy10 they come in nxt sets. try bricklink otherwise

[super0spore0fan]

where i can buy this? i want a new motor for my car LOL

[spader111click]

insert finger

[Schinanigans]

SOUNDS LIKE A TOP FUEL DRAGSTER STARTING UP! lol AWESOME

[saxplayingcompnerd]

how do you keep things from melting together with friction?

[phresh3dx]

Can I please get instructions because I just need the engine to build one of my own.

[TheNikeike]

Oh MY GOD it sound s like a car!

[buttonisbest]

@TheNikeike Like a diesel V12

[christianlegoguy14]

SWEET!!!

[dewalt607]

built an rc out of that

[PalomboDylan]

How did you get this.Where did you get this.Does it have any pistons.How much did it cost .Where do you think I could get one.That is cool the way it runs on compressed air.Can I use this to make any one of my huge remote controled cars operate.Please write back as soon as you can.Thanks from Dylan.

[WpA09]

is it worth the time to modify the switches or is it sufficient with the cylinders only. i get that to get the best performance you have you drill. but i dont want to take apart my switches.

[AlchemistHawk]

What would happen if you pushed 200PSI through it?

[wongmylesa]

So, what exactly do you use to lubricate it?

[ILoveMixery]

does it get hot?

[nicjasno]

@ILoveMixery No it does not get hot at all. This is not an internal combustion engine.

[POPCORN454545]

@nicjasno but just from the friction you would think it would get alittle warm and wear doesnt it....?

[Pagweb]

@nicjasno What is powering this engine?

[nicjasno]

@Pagweb Compressed air.

[JohnyAngelo]

does that goes actually on fuel? i mean.. i cant imagine that plastic can hold such temperatures...

[nicjasno]

@JohnyAngelo It runs on compressed air. There is no internal combustion.

[JohnyAngelo]

@nicjasno make sense, thx

[bryce995]

@nicjasno i would like to buy the kit if it does have a kit idk i just want to buy it if i could buy it whare would i buy it!!!

[nicjasno]

@bryce995 My store on LPEpower dot com

[bryce995]

@nicjasno thanks dude for responding so fast lol!!!

[bryce995]

@nicjasno how much is 314€ in amarica :)

[nicjasno]

@bryce995 450

[bryce995]

@nicjasno sweet thanks mann you should be expecting a buy from me lol!!! :)

[nicjasno]

@bryce995 Contact me via email first please.

[bryce995]

@nicjasno ok doki

[bryce995]

@nicjasno it wont let me



[bryce995]

@nicjasno never mind i got it !?

[HEadshot00001234]

Stick your hand in there an it would probably look like luke skywalker's hand but more gruesome

[NiiandoesNOTlose]

im not going to lie, i wasn't expecting that.

[0228andrew]

Probably would beat a honda civic

[gm556]

alright, when you make these videos quit reving a car in the background

[vulture2600]

try a little graphite powder in all the moving parts. its clean and cheap!

[vinnie049049]

waths the highest rpm you ever had?

[calvin482]

would you say you could make a lego car with that?

[nicjasno]

@calvin482 Watch my other videos.

[Si3z3]

@calvin482 one that would idle yes :#

[untouchabledriver87]

Sounds like you have a lifter tapping... :P haha

[B4DH4cK3r]

wow shows how fast the engine really moves... 

[dacke93]

i want it. so badly. please send it to me via mail. and i will send you a than card. seriously.

[nicjasno]

@dacke93 Go to my webshop @ LPEpower and buy one.

[happygamestvfun1]

why play iwth litle kids toys?

[PowKa154]

How many PSI are you using? great engine

[vacuumlover1]

wont that melt the plastic?

[Ryoukun16]

Was it possible to make a flat-6?

[crapatitus]

does it need any lubrication lol

[RockabillyDeluxe]

sounds great! cool idea to built an engine with lego parts :-D

[vampirefrog8]

IT'S ALIVE!

[johnmartinez95]

bad ass

[napalm9]

I'd like to see a petrol lego engine :D

Now theres a challenge!

[rapidrory]

@napalm9 tried that...doesn't work :P (for me at least)

[Rotzloeffell12]

Fine! Now I need a Car xD

[Gin132456]

how much weight can it push? so lets say i had a little can of compressed air inside the lego car and i took some rc car parts and used a servo to regulate the air, would the engine be able to push all that?

[techno5213]

where can i get one?

[InsanityRewritten]

If this engine is with the scale model as the mustang body is you guys should try putting this in it. It would be awesome lol.

[stlplaya270]

175 gerbil power. they can put that in a honda fit or somethin

[ab1cdefghijklmnop]

don't they search for a way to build cars using "alternativ eenergy"? i mean, build this larger, put it in an aluminium- build car...should work :)

[jbrun009]

I've only been successful at one cylinders so far, I must have the timing off, I've tried two cylinders, and I try playing with the timing, but the pistons work against eachother and the engine comes apart... which is actually really cool. I don't even care if my parts wear out eventually, its fun to mess with, and I'll get some more

[dralizan]

hello, excuse me where I can buy one of those? and what is the approximate price?

[FabFab2009]

thats awesome how lego engines really sound like real engines. a V6 sounds smoother, a V8 wilder

[JoRdAnThEaWeSoMe1]

Mount that beast to a lego monster struck or something

[shaunymonproductions]

thats so sick, where do you get these? and the model engines that are metal?

[kurogane2x]

hmmm I think it would probably break if used everyday XD

[ironman9mohawk]

you should add that to a lego car id be fast(hotrod)

[XxL3G0xX]

purrs like a kitten, err..

[BruceCarbon]

A toturial seems to be necessary :D

[LgoBasil]

amazing song

[sonicflash11]

cool i build one like that hooked it up to an old rc car thing and i got it up to 196 rpm but cool i made it into a car the next day but i sooner or later it ran out of battery

[hyperxok]

if i built something like that it would probably explode!

[ProtonFilms]

@hyperxok

With me it did./ It was due to that I didn't fix everything in place, so when a little piece fell and got jammed, it started a chain reaction. And my mechanism wasn't even that complex!

[reidairsofter]

@hyperxok yeah ikr!!!! ill probably put too many psis on it!!!

[Skater3z3b]

its cool and i know it takes a long time but i want to see an inline 4 rev as high as i an and then blow just to see what the limit is

[GoerdingscapePK]

It will not blow, but it would most probably melt or wear out.

[hifeyracer]

@GoerdingscapePK why not sleeve it with an aluminum can? less friction so it can run longer and maybe try and maked sum kind of oil reserve that will pump up to all the working components like a real engine and id bet it last a lot longer

[ictsb14]

nice

[DirtyHarry199]

I love it's sound

[caval14]

damn that thing actually sounds like an engine

[koessa]

i love lpe´s but i can´t understand why people don´t share it with other people for free. there no plans or instructions, only the engine for too much money. why? be human and share it with us or sell it to lego if you only want the money -.-*

[nicjasno]

There's instructions for basic engines on my homepage on w w w . nicjasno . c o m to get you started. The problem with the engines that i sell is, that most people would not be able to make them. They have modified switches, modified cylinders and custom molded tubing, all designed to increase rpms, power and reliability. There's nothing stopping you from making your own engines.

[lsjbtedi]

i will buy one iphone for 460 bucks ...

[bloodygun101]

only 460 bucks for it....

[dsman11ROBLOX]

Cool

[MrStreck]

thoes sound fuckin badass i want one

[JCNinjaBee]

That is phenomenal! I've been out of the whole Lego thing since I was a kid but can anyone tell me what the deal is? Are these engines part of some incredible kit I've never seen before or are they home builds? I bet you could make a respectable RC with those engines, awesome stuff!

[SuperBersuit]

Only creativity. And indeed it´s awesome:)

[nicjasno]

Those are home built. and yes, they do power my lego cars. Check out my other videos to see the engines in the car.

[darkcorsair247]

you should make a video explaining the concept of how these engines work becuase i kinda get it... but at the same time i dont :P heheh

[kiriakoskakos]

where can i find the plans?

[RCPhilN]

after a few of minutes you have really hot plastic ^^

[nicjasno]

No, you don't. Nothing heats up.

[lyokocarthage]

i was wondering if you could explain these lego engines to me i meen as in how do they move and how do u power little vehicles with them

[pentium6xx]

its pneumatic (air powered) its charged with an air compressor. engines are nautrually built to have the least amount of friction on the moving parts.. plus its all air powered and they dont build up heat

[brickthegoalie]

Really shows how well engineered lego is =)

[Gorbachev]

Some of the highest quality plastic in the world.

[m93sek]

compressedair,,,,,

[ShokaLion]

Man this sounds awesome for a lego engine. That first blast really has a V6 sound to it

[skylorz]

make some gears and clutch

[jaydnisevil]

I want one :)

[talksexwithDE]

You should build a big motor out of metal kenex or whatever those things are called, then you could put it in a small car and drive it, lol it would be awesome.

[nicjasno]

I am doing this with lego motors just fine. Check my other videos.

[darkeyce02]

im think he ment a real car...

[imac60302]

how much for this one

[L3G0nerd]

what powering the pnuematics

[IkkFedt]

Air?

[L3G0nerd]

no ,like what type of air compressor?

[ak7wyf]

i was informed i was being a dick about the no lubrication thing,. sorry man! even a vagina lubricates itself. Or  a sheep.fu

[ak7wyf]

then don't say shit thats totally fuckin stupidish...... thanks but you did'nt make any sense

[nicjasno]

An internal combustion engine with plastic bearing surfaces wouldn't last very long (we're talking seconds here) :)

[saleenxxx]

ahah oh well i tried haah

[M3MPH1SM0J0]

the heat generated from the friction of the pistons moving would literally melt the engine

[saleenxxx]

i see

[worldwar3productions]

then why cant we put one of these in a real car?only using electricity instead of gas? and not like delicate lego

[ak7wyf]

so you want an electric motor? It's a lego yo, a model. If you want an electric motor powering an air compressor to power another motor to drive yer wasting energy. Ever heard of a car that is driven by an electric motor. Already happening yo. I have'nt heard of any electric motor driving a pneaumatic compressor into another motor to produce power on a cars scale. Oh Yeah and the batteries and weight. hmmm 1+1 = 6

[ak7wyf]

are you serious?? haha, the air compressor powering it has oil, that plastic or metal will pretty much fuses together without lube. Youre joints have lube. Ever heard of friction and heat! that would be a nice world yo. No heat no friction no fossil fuels to fire it, even if it was solar powered it would need lube. When this plastic was molded they needed lube. GEEZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[saleenxxx]

it was just a thought dont have to be a dick about it DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[Dammmj]

how much do these kits cost cause i see a lot of vids on these..i want one!

[nicjasno]

Surf to w w w . LPEpower . c o m (without spaces) to my engine webshop. :)

[MksG4lyfe]

hang on.... i went there. i live in the united states and we dont have any "€" money so am i not able to buy the v8 engines and 4 cylinders???

[nicjasno]

Of course you can. You will pay the euro equivalent in dollars. There's the link to the currency calculator on the product page so you can calculate how much the engines are in dollars.

[Carbon1700]

How can you run the compressor for that long without getting out of air?

[nicjasno]

The compressor has a 50L air tank.

[Carbon1700]

oh, ok.

Mine is just 20L

[tomikamagyar]

lol make cooling system it will overheat.

[nicjasno]

It's powered by cold compressed air, that expands, and therefore cools even more... how can it overheat?

[red33410]

You have a fan blowing cold air on it. My suspicion would be that some of those plastic parts are going to MELT if you run it long enough!

[nicjasno]

No, they would not. I ran it for a long time. Everything is properly constructed and lubricated. After dissasembly the parts were like new.

[amfan12]

reminds me a bit of a Detroit diesel 6v series

[sinthusan]

How can you measure the RPM ?

[nordmensch]

it was hot..

[kawasaki95431]

that thing is cool as shit but aren't you worried about that thing coming apart at 2000 rpm. lol that would be a little scary!

[nicjasno]

Not at all. The same engine ran 2480 rpms in another video that you can find on my chanel. It's not even strained. You can buy even faster stuff in my webshop w w w . l p e p o w e r . c o m . :)

[gschjetne]

Did you add any grease to keep it from seizing?

[dirtjumpdaniel]

Hi, Do you have a parts list for one of the v8 engines?

Also are there any kits for them?

[1ajs]

:o wow

[gruisertobyw]

how long dose it take to make one of these?

nice sound by the way

[Savageowner610]

that valve train seems real solid, looks like its got potential!!

[randomguy9898]

thats so freaking awesome dude!

[nicjasno]

The goal is 4000+. I hope the new switches will bring a big boost.

[Zblj1987]

So its on 2000 now?
