Lego pneumatic engine - camless W6 (sliders)

[o0StupidVideos0o]

Where can i buy this tipe of lego in brazil man?

[DrDudeNL]

@o0StupidVideos0o Hehe sorry but I am not an expert on the brazilian market for toys :-) I would suggest to try bricklink!

[DrDudeNL]

@HomeSkillet sure, that is what I use for the internals of the switches and cylinders. Still would not use it for the other parts, though, it is still messy (although not as messy as oil, indeed)

[DrDudeNL]

@legofreak search for pneumatic car...

[legofreak55555]

will someone make an engine and put some wheels on it ??? I would love to see that

[DrDudeNL]

@legofreak55555 search youtube and you will find!

[legofreak55555]

@DrDudeNL doubt it, searched, never found...

[WpA09]

@legofreak55555 search for nicjasno and his mustang

[WpA09]

@legofreak55555 not that actual phrase though lol. search for "nicjasno" and then "mustang"

[legofreak55555]

@WpA09 thanks a lot!!!

@legofreak55555 just helping a fellow youtuber :)

@alex993cc1, agree about oiling, but not sewing machine oil, that would probably dissolve the Lego. I don't like using oil because it's messy. Always thought I would first create the ultimate engine design, then add oil. Not there yet (-;

[HomeSkillet832]

@DrDudeNL instead of oil use silicone spray ... they use it in electric windows and others every days objects ...they sell it at auto parts stores

[alex993cc1]

will remove some of the cranking losses too

sewing machine oil

[alex993cc1]

needs some oil, smooth it out a bit

where can I find instructions on assembly of the engine?

[ChingXyooj]

would you say that this particular engine design vibrates more than the more common approach?

[DrDudeNL]

@ChingXyooj I don't know what you mean by 'the more common approach', but it is my experience that engines with 'balanced' cylinder banks, that is, an even number of cylinders which move pairwise in the opposite direction, vibrate a lot less than other designs. The W6 has that property where, for example, a V6 cannot.

Of course, it is also possible to introduce balance axles (don't know if that is a proper term in english) but I try to avoid that for performance reasons.

[TheBigotees]

hey want to know where you roll the cylinders and hoses or if I could say where or make them in advance coseguirlos deveras drive the motor through air

[firewizorlego1]

wait how do you make it because i dont see swiches

[DrDudeNL]

@firewizorlego1 They are at the backside, you can clearly see them between 0:10-0:20. It might help if I tell you that, apart from a few axles, they are the only light bluish gray elements in the entire engine.

[legoMan104]

You drilled the cylinders and switches right?

[DrDudeNL]

@legoMan104 Of course :-)

[SolarAlliance]

@DrDudeNL What diameter did you drill them to?

[DrDudeNL]

@SolarAlliance 2mm. 2.5 is also possible but things start breaking down rapidly if you do.

first hahahahahahaa
