F1 Engine Autodesk CAD

I did this my senior year of high school using Autodesk Inventor. I now go to Illinois State University and am a sophomore. If you would like to contact me my E-mail is jdwhite@ilstu.edu . Or click HERE (file:///J:/WWW/2010SP/JDW/jdw-p1.htm) for a link to my current school web page, which I update weekly. Thanks!

I did not use any blueprints.. it is just my interpretation of a v12 F1 engine. I would like to get some blueprints, so it would be possible to make a more detailed model.

Also the F1 engines being used now are only a 3.0 liter v10 I think,

How many hours did you put in to that?

[dewey315]

well i would just work on this in my high school CAD class. but probably an average of 30-40 min a day for about a month. Its looks more complicated than is it. All you need to do it make the components to assemble a v2 engine then basically just copy and paste the rest. it looks cool though lol

[dewey315]

@hopper055 Worked on it during my lunch breaks for about 1 month.

Marvelous, i im astonished how detailed the engine is! Only tiny adjustments, and i would give you a 6, for this, 5+!

Man, this is brilliant!!!!!!!!

@alksdjhfiuealhf what is the average stroke length.. would you know?

[alksdjhfiuealhf]

Modern F1 motors are V8's actually also this motor's stroke is far too long F1 engines are extremely short stroke with a large bore. Also the pistons in F1 motors don't have skirts to help reduce the reciprocating mass. Everything in an F1 motor is essentially designed to allow the motor to rev as high as possible.

Guitar Hero anyone... lol.

how did you make the exhaust pipes.. did you use absolute coordinates.. and umm sweep.. how do you correct it if something needs to be fixed.

@lebickmeck Thanks, I had a look into it and you are right. I was told that pneumatic valves were electronically controlled using compressed gas, without camshafts. I just assumed it to be true. Thanks for educating me when i thought i was educating someone else. :)

@jcadlols

Wrong, they have pneumatic valve SPRINGS. There is still a camshaft to lift the valves. Because you don't have metal springs, fatigue failure is a thing of the past. The moving mass is also 20% lower, so they can rev higher.

[jcadlols]

@dewey315 also the modern motors (which are V8's) have pneumatic valves, ie no camshafts or valve springs. Beautiful model though :)

@dewey315 what model you get it from since you didn't use any blueprint

[24samw]

i did an inline 4 engine for highschool advanced higher in scotland and i thought that was epic. pretty class man. That looks a great program too.

@dewey315 2400cc v8's i think youl find
