would I be correct to say that the result of the piston varients would be to allow a constant rotation of the shaft.. hence the name flat engine. or am I elsewhere???
in a flat engine, each piston has its own crank pin, this is more like a 180 degree v engines with 2 cylinders on one crank pin.. .. so a true flat engine is only slight shorter than thats its inline equivilant...watch the subaru flat 4 in motion.. i think 180 v engines should get looked into, they should be as balanced as flats only shorter, but who knows, i havn't got a billion pounds to pay for research thought i'd love to know the answer
If someone could answer my question i would greatly appreciate it.
true boxer engines reach TDC simultaniously correct? then what is the name for the flat engines that reach TDC at opposed times? e.g. as one piston is on intake one is on compression.
and also what is the benfits and negatives of either system?
in 4 an 6 cylindar animation, if you look the firsta pair, opposite pair of cylinders move towards each other, but when 12 cylinder animation starts, they move in the same direction. why is that?
Because they are two different types of engine. The first three engines in the video are Boxer, but the twelve-cylinders is a 180 degrees V12. They are both "flat engines" but in the Boxer the rods are connected in the same junction. Sorry but I'm Italian and I can hardly to explain it better...
You may be right, I've no clue, but don't you think 180 degree V12 is a bit dumb? It's not exactly a V, it's a horizontal line.... That's my ponderism for today..
I still don't understand why Subaru keeps making H4 2.0L\2.5L engines in Impreza WRX STI instead of H3 3.6L TT engines?

the boxer 12 you show doesn't look any more balanced than a v12, but i guess that doesnt matter since a v12 is already perfectly balanced

thank you.

wow ic now it makes for a hell of a lot better balanced motor overall.
had to replay it a few times to really understand it but its just 2 cylinders pushing and pulling each other

just one question:

@alfabestija and mtbman1989 im with you guys
i have a boxer engine and know my engines
in a flat engine the pistons essentially work in pairs 1 up 1 down at the same time if you know what i mean
where as in a boxer the pistons are straddled this animation is totally wrong especially gettin up to the flat 6 and 12
the 1st second and third animations are boxers not flats
KRISNICH2010 1 year ago
why does the animation change from a boxer to a v when it goes from 6 cylinders to 12? seems to just be causing confusion!

that's a 'Boxer' engine man....named so coz the piston's action look like a boxer punching

how did you make this animation?
what program?

that flat 12 isn't really a flat 12. it's an 180 degree v12.

so, by that logic, an inline 2 cylinder could be considered a 360 degree v-twin, eh? :D
Nza420 2 years ago 8
Sure I guess if you really wanted to. And it isn't a flat 12 because the opposing pistons share the same
crank pin. Flat engines have different crank pins for each piston.

@Z0mbeSlayer think about it... it's 360.
Nza420 1 year ago
@Nza420 I read your comment wrong, I thought you were talking about a flat 2. But, I would call an inline twin a 0 degree v-twin though.

The engine itself is inherently balanced which means among other things you don't need to add rotating weight in the form of counter weights.

@bumbble ...as long as its RWD. That goes for V engines as well. FWD is extremely unbalanced.
