I feel Ike the entire block and crank case would need to be acrylic.

[@RonnieMacJr69]

A 2 stroke version might be a little more challenging if the plan is to use non steel piston rings, as I’m sure the plastic rings or whatever they are must be easier bent and expanded with heat which would raise the possibility of snagging a ring on a port. That accompanied by the fact that here the hot exhaust gases are expelled through the real steel head and valves but in a two stroke all the hot gases would flow out of the exhaust port in the cylinder. I don’t know anything about acrylic and it’s properties but those would be my concerns

[@TROdesigns]

@@RonnieMacJr69 nice post. The rings catching on a port is definitely a possibility. The PTFE rings are much more lightly sprung than the steel rings so that works in it's favor. I had a thermal camera going when I ran this engine and the head was MUCH hotter than the cyl. So yeah, that exhaust port is going to be roasted quick...Acrylic is surprisingly strong at room temperature lol

[@mannys9130]

This is the single coolest thing I have seen in all of 2021. I mean that. I watched those slow mo shots over and over. At the end you can really understand spark advancement. The spark fires and starts the burn just before the piston gets to TDC and the flame front really starts to get going as the piston reaches TDC so it has the perfect timing to push down hard on the crown. I'm guessing that shot was taken at a high engine speed, not idle. 🤔 Beautiful work. Absolutely beautiful work. You can also see how some fuel gets trapped between the compression rings, and how combustion pressure gets behind the rings to push them outward and make a firm seal.

[@TROdesigns]

Goddamn, this is the best comment I've had on my channel yet! 90% of viewers don't watch till the end and see the spark go off right before TDC, or the leaked combustion between piston rings...this is why I didn't narrate over the whole thing and let people observe for themselves.

As a ME this is one of THE BEST video of IC engine I have ever seen on the internet. Truly amazing and hats off for ur time and money spent on this!! ✌️

[@durrtybuck8949]

Very nice! Great illustration of how simple a 4 cycle engine works. Truly a modern marvel!

[@dave1066]

This is an amazing build/mod and the best, by far, demo of suck, squeeze, bang, blow I've ever seen - for real instead of animated. Animations are OK (in fact they can be excellent educational aids), but to actually see the whole process is absolutely amazing. Well done on a brilliant build and the best video I've ever seen of a four stroke cycle!

Молодец, сколько подготовительных работ, для студентов и спецов по ДВС данный ролик будет очень поучительным! Спасибо Вам. Илону привет)

[@frogsintheforest]

Remarkable detail to your work has resulted in the best educational model that I've seen. That will certainty take some beating. Well done

[@SoyMolas]

Wish I had this video when I was at school. I spent my last 20 years working at a garage and I find this very educational. Great job!

[@andrevale2079]

Amazing, so cool! We can see the amount of unburdened fuel dragged out the cylinder, and it is funny to see that somehow the flames are affected by the drop in pressure when the exhaust valve starts to open.

[@TROdesigns]

Nice observation man!

This is mindblowing, yet so pleasing to watch, love your works dude. You deserve for more recognition, i think...

Best video I've ever seen. How any engine can run for more than a few seconds is amazing to me

[@multitalented8484]

The best I have ever seen. Such an amazing work

[@andynaka]

This is one of the most detailed videos on youtube showing how a combustion engine works, i've seen others but only this one shows things like the oil lubricating the piston in real time and the exhaust fumes appearing instantly on the outside at the slightest lift of the exhaust valve, which gives an idea of how much pressure is held inside after combustion, very nice video!👍

[@GERntleMAN]

I think most don't fathom what this means. Very very cool to see how inefficient the carburetor mixes air and fuel. Awesome!

[@t.w.3]

It also looks and sounds like it's running too rich.. Hard to tell without the exhaust system.

[@neilreid2298]

Fascinating! Thank you for all the trouble of building and videoing this!

[@martin09091989]

That shoot starting at 16:51 is sooooo awesom!!! First you can see the piston skirt changing over to the pressure side due to the offset pin, than the advanced ignition and flame front burning through. Than the blow by through the ring gaps under combustion pressure finally pushing the piston rings tight against the zylinder wall.... 🤗 Now i have seen it all.... Thank you verry much for that affort, and showing it in such good detail! 👏

Thanks man!

[@asono11]

Wow. I remember some ten years ago I was dreaming of being able to see a slow motion video of a running engine and back then there was only one, bad quality video available on YT. I basically studied every single frame of that video to fantasize about how it would look IRL. Fast forward today and we can see the whole action through an acrylic cylinder in super high definition. Amazing. Thanks for uploading this!

This reminds me that I once had a spark plug with a glass port that allowed you to see inside the cylinder. It was a tool to see the flame color. In days where you could adjust the fuel/air mixture yourselves, the flame color was a great help. The aim was to have it as blueish as possible. Funny enough, your flame color in this video is deep red. Really the opposite. But apart that your fuel mixture is totally off :-), what a great video. Amazing that the perspex has no problem with the heat, the pressure, and carbon deposits. Great craftsmanship!

[@rchelihaven5027]

A Gunson Colourtune. Useful bit of kit!

[@DrFiero]

It probably doesn't help the AFR that the CR was dropped, and there's no pipe. But then again, with the lower flame front heat - it lets the engine not turn into a molten puddle after 2 minutes!! :D

[@glumpy1024]

Had a colour tune as well. I wasn't sure about them. You could only really tune the idle mixture as wasn't possible to see the thing Under load and run beside the car. I did use it Tuning Triple SU carbs though. Least the idle was right but with a Million different needle profiles, who could tell the rest.

[@onemoremisfit]

One thing about the rich mixture, I'm sure he can't run it long enough to get it up to operating temperature so we're always seeing it run cold and choked.

[@cavecanem7062]

@@onemoremisfit it could be even that he purposedly kept a rich mixture since richer = red flame and colder combustion
