10 Strangest Engines of All Time

[@mikeshotrodshop]

Not one real image of the variable displacement Cadillac engine. A flathead, a early 70 standard V8, but nothing about the topic. Please.

[@BS-ys8zn]

WARNING: DO NOT cite this video as a reference.

[@marktinkler6897]

Diesel driven generator to power an electric drive train. Exactly how modern train engines work.

[@JamesConner-wm3mw]

WHAT A LOAD OF.........

[@BS-ys8zn]

Presenting a Wankel motorcycle as having an axial engine ? more pathetic the farther this goes, What's next,

[@jimmyp5123]

yep. shown the suzuki re5

[@Brian1Graves]

Continually showing a ford flathead when showing the V8 Caddillac ruins your credibility.

[@gordondick9100]

That and the Hercules motorcycle that has a wankel engine and not the Duke they are implying.

[@pete1342]

The engine shown is actually a Cadillac flathead V8.

[@Brian1Graves]

@@pete1342 Thank you. 😃

[@stevegreen2432]

Not correct to show a photo of a JET fighter every time you say an engine is used in aircraft!!

[@1crazypj]

I had a few Citroen GS, but, it was after the rotary with a 130cc flat four OHC motor. Very efficient, 110 mph and fantastic ride (when it was working properly) The only issue was the suspension which was always expensive to fix and failed every 18 months or so.

[@leeverink32]

oil and fuel consumption in rotors where a big issue in these engines and so they had a short and expensive live span.

[@johnhenke6475]

Felix Wankel was a Nazi who was so militant he got kicked out of the Nazi party. Imagine being such a hot head the Nazis have to tell you to chill out.

[@michelbrown1060]

As for sleeve valves engine, you forgot the magnificent Napier H 24 airplane engine

[@normbarrows2]

A 15 degree v6, a caddy 8-6-4 (with no actual footage), a Wankel, a DOHC VW bug (Porche) motor - nothing really strange there. Sleeve valve engines (pre-WW1 tech) - and jet fighter footage? Various opposed piston designs, and no Atkinson cycle engine.

[@paradiselost9946]

no humphrey pump. no melhuish aka gothic oil engine. no lamplough six cylinder two stroke, or 16 cylinder barrel engine... not really much of anything...

[@spentacle]

The Junkers engine was the inspiration for the Deltic when German designs were made available post WW2, or was that WW1? They could have been shown in chronological order.

[@MrStevos]

2:48 IS NOT REAL ! just photo-shopped !

[@HasanAhmed-ex6jv]

Excellent content, it would be interesting to put aside the cost and just compare the various performance variables.

[@garyzimmer4149]

24:01 As we all know, F16s have sleeve valve engines. Maybe one day KZbin will introduce a fact checker that automatically deletes rubbish like this.

[@paradiselost9946]

along with the millions of "free energy" videos with speaker magnets glued to PC fans accompanied by happy chappy "copyright free" music...

[@jeffnolan7392]

I'll never know, I'm marking this channel, "Do Not Recommend".

[@nunosantiago2273]

Engines? How about some technical drawings and mechanical ninformation?

[@CRUZER1800]

Be aware.... there is a Lot of BS being thrown around in this one. Who do they think they are talking to??

[@robmcguire9756]

The sleeve valve engine is a 2 cycle

[@TamTran-vw7zm]

Don't rely on this vid for accurate information!

[@Milosz_Ostrow]

(17:56) I think this Hercules motorcycle is powered by a Wankel engine, not a Duke axial piston engine. Has Duke ever tested one of their engines in a road vehicle or aircraft? If they haven't, I fear the concept will go the way of the Zoche radial aircraft engine.

[@patverum9051]

Yes, Wankel is even on the side-cover....

[@bernarddeham4787]

On the Jaguar Type E you could also adjust the number of cylinders...

[@BS-ys8zn]

No mention the Tucker's flat 6 was a modified (water jacketed) aircraft engine. That's a big miss

[@marconius101]

Yes it does.. At 13:00 they show the Tucker flat 6

[@Intertanker]

*_I think a lot of what was engineered decades ago could be an alternative today, as now we have far better machinery for more accurate or precise serial machining. Together with that, we are far more ahead in metallurgy than in the 40s, 30s, 20s, or earlier._*

[@SeersantLoom]

Some ideas are really good in the head and on drawing table but quite crap in real life use. Follow KISS principle - less parts, less things to go wrong, less mystical combinations where everything looks OK but no worky-worky. It may not be the best power or fuel economy but simple to fix/maintain and can be done by average Joe in a shed if need to be.

[@nathanmeyer795]

9:25 - “gasoline powered” Stock Footage: **diesel refueling**

[@Jasmine33221]

The VR6 is still being made they just dropped the R and call it V6 now. They are used in the VW Atlas.

[@bernarddeham4787]

VR stands for vau reihe and was also available in the Golf..

[@glasslinger]

An awful lot of taxpayer dollars got blown on this wild stuff.

[@bigal2876]

I had a Mazda and loved it. The gas mileage was pretty bad. My brother had a bigger engine in his and he out ran 350 Nova.

[@gordondick9100]

My older brother had a Mazda RX3 (1973, I believe). It suffered the same fate as all the others: the seals that take the place of piston rings in conventional engines failed. Undeterred, he eventually bought a brand-new RX 7. It was a great car, but it eventually failed in the same way his RX3 did.

[@riccicrozzie8204]

In the word's of colonel Potter, what a load of horse hockey.

[@MrKillerno1]

Fighterjets showing in piston driven engines video? Really?

[@bernarddeham4787]

5:50 you do not know your subject! The NSU Ro80 used the Wankel rotary engine in 1967... Mazda bought the patent later on.

[@d71mau]

Joke channel full of mistakes and BS

[@BS-ys8zn]

Porsche raced in NASCAR?

[@Star-m4b6y]

Missed the mark on the Burke engine. A collage student built one for an project and all the mass going back and forth made it SHAKE so what ever he bolted it too broke.

[@elemar5]

A collage student? Is that student made from lots of different pieces or a student studying collage?

[@Pdfflyer1]

Why are there not any examples of an X configured engine either six cylinder 12 cylinder 16 cylinder engines with dry sump capability ?

[@sidneydepret8883]

ow my... why shows an mx5 when talking about wankel engines?

[@garyfreida6504]

The Cadillac V8 6 4 engine had more flaws in its life time.

[@steveprebble1065]

What is this GARBAGE?

[@Milosz_Ostrow]

(11:50) Is that Jay Leno at the wheel?

[@chrissometimes7473]

Yes, and the car he is driving has nothing to do with the subject being talked about - this applies to a lot of the video content in this piece.

[@leeverink32]

The 32R is the latest in the VR6 engines and a 2.9 with blower was made

[@cyrus7210]

Loved the video.....but damn the ads, I understand there's gonna be some,but really how much shit you think I'm going to buy.... here's a hint, nowhere as much as you the advertiser have convinced yourself that I will. You've brainwashed yourself into believing that I'm brainwashed into buying. Wrong.....

[@Gettrying101]

The hydrogen engine was kept for others in army forces. I say army as in Americans army. They kept it but still working on it

[@RedRyder-b1w]

You sure showed a lot of Cadillac engines that are not the V-8-6-4. Do your homework before you publish the rubbish.

[@garreysellars5525]

I was interested until he mentioned the EV Zero emissions 😮. Baaaaaa s t

[@Rusty-METAL-J]

The VW Beetle had a rear mounted Wenkel Rotary Engine.

[@jsepp108]

The only Beetle that had a rotary engine was one that was swapped from a Mazda RX7. The standard Beetle came with a horizontally opposed 4 cylinder air-cooled engine.

[@sprint48219]

lots of bs inacurate pics
