K'nex V8 Engine

-This is my first video-

This is a push rod v8 tappets and rocker arms can be seen through the cam covers. All parts on this work just as a real engine except for the injector hat.
The main power comes from a 12v dc electric motor positioned in the starter's location.
This took 2 days to build but ideas circulated over more than a year.

None of the k'nex pieces have been modified in any way.

not as complicated as viper2788

[mistagtr]

Yea it is smaller there is a limit to how much stuff you can squeeze into one space with pieces designed to occupy a much larger area. That's the complexity of the motor.

[themanwhofelll]

please answere where do u get the desighns for thios

[mistagtr]

Designs can't be found anywhere for these just play around with these things and eventually you end up with something like this... usually bigger and bulkier like the other ones on youtube

[Ghostsniper15]

the only problem is that the engine is geared too low, when you reved the engine up the rokcers weren't moving very fast

[mistagtr]

no thats the camera not capturing it fast enough the actual rockers cant be seen moving once the engine is at full speed its just a problem with the camera capturing motion

[knexsbf]

can you post a video on how to make it

[ashleytisdalefan66]

cool it gos faster now but is it strong

[TheIceychill2]

this is why legos are better than knex because you can make real engines that work (you use vaccum or compressed air)just type in nicjasno on youtube he makes lego pneumatic engines and he sells them on his website lpepower.com also if you click on my username you can see my vacuum engine that uses scotch yolks Lego pwns knex. but since some knex people use actual pistons and valves that move and such knex isnt to bad but lego is still better in my opinion

[MURRAYMODIFY]

sounds supercharged lol

[94ChevLumina]

Just an fyi, that squeaking isn't a good thing... just like in a real engine, you don't want the metal to rub together bare, the same should be upheld for this... keep running it like that and the rubbing will destroy the parts, ruining the engine.

Some kind of lubricant should be used to keep this thing from destroying itself.

[georgejelfs67]
