🔴 What Is Islam? 🔴 Islam is not just another religion. 🔵 It is the same message preached by Moses, Jesus and Abraham. 🔴 Islam literally means ‘submission to God’ and it teaches us to have a direct relationship with God. 🔵 It reminds us that since God created us, no one should be worshipped except God alone. 🔴 It also teaches that God is nothing like a human being or like anything that we can imagine. 🌍 The concept of God is summarized in the Quran as: 📖 { “Say, He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He does not give birth, nor was He born, and there is nothing like Him.”} (Quran 112:1-4) 📚 🔴 Becoming a Muslim is not turning your back to Jesus. 🔵 Rather it’s going back to the original teachings of Jesus and obeying him.

Always the most beautiful workmanship . Good to see another engine .

I am a marine engineer and I have worked on a very similar engine. I was a Doxford diesel. It too was an opposed piston engine but it had a crankshaft. It was very efficient and reliable. It has two side rods that drove the top piston much the same as yours

[@kcraig51]

I just found you through KZbin's recommendations. I've been watching your videos. I really like the diesel with adjustable injection timing! I've been a machinist 35 yrs. Never built anything as nice as your engines. Beautiful!!

Very nicely done! That's a beautiful little engine, and what's more amazing is that it drove a bicycle!

Nice to have you back Mr Hansen. What a beautiful & amazing 2 Stroke engine with opposed pistons!. AWSOME 😲. THANKS for sharing and hope to see you SOON with another ingenuity. Cheers 👍 🇲🇹 ♥ 🇪🇺 ™

[@grwuk8290]

Such an intricate cleaver design and very well explained

[@raygale4198]

Another beautiful model Mr. Hansen. The opposed piston design is coming popular again, I have read that some makers are reviewing this design due to it's much better expansion ratio over a single piston giving an improvement in thermal efficiency. I hope you have patented your double eccentric linkage system, building a strong, simple linkage has been one of the challenges in opposed piston design.

[@sarkybugger5009]

Sounded very smooth for a two stroke. Amazing stuff, as always.

[@RalfyCustoms]

Hello, nice to see you back buddy, beautiful engineering as always, thank you for sharing

[@BensWorkshop]

Very interesting. Since I looked into the Commer TS3, Junkers Jumo 204 and Napier Deltic I was thinking of experimenting with an opposed 2 stroke diesel. Not seen a combustion engine with eccentrics before.

[@pr191148]

Tolle Arbeit, ich liebe Funktionsmodelle.

[@pauljs75]

There's some large displacement boat engines that use an opposed pistons layout (but perhaps not this exact design), the neat feature about it if balanced properly is there's next to no vibration from operation.

[@Wingnut353]

Almost all of those are built by Fairbanks-Morse.

[@ericv8319]

That is superb, I hope you teach as many people as you can.

Tak for det hr. Hansen, skønt at se folk føre deres idéer ud i livet, og at de så virker. Nydeligt håndværk som sædvanligt, utroligt så godt det løber sammen.

Everyone should check out the F-150 Ford Crew Cab Lariat from the 2018 Detroit Auto Show that gets over forty some miles per gallon with the Achates opposed piston engine with 480 plus feet pounds torque and also the Cummins ACE 1400-CC opposed piston diesel built for the US military. One thousand horse power and 25% more efficient than all the others and both are cleaner than upcoming emission requirements. Too bad we will never see anything less expensive, less moving parts and double plus today’s fuel economy. Your engine is a masterful design.

[@fidelcatsro6948]

wow...

[@markspc1]

Great show Mr. Hansen. Opposed piston engines are much more simple than piston and cylinder head engines, I wonder why they have not taken a hold in the automobile industry.

[@johnh8615]

Because a lot of people won’t have no jobs. And if it’s too reliable the company won’t earn any money for making replacement parts. Henry ford said he could make a motor last a very long time but why do that and not earn any money

[@pauljs75]

Who knows? But they have showed up in heavy equipment and boats.

[@Wingnut353]

Start a company that sells cars that last 100 years and get 100mpg... nobody is interested in actually doing that because they want short term profit.

[@ellismidkiff6117]

Or a vehicle that runs on almost any type of fuel. IE all the old cars. Adjust a few things and the model t’s would tun on about anything.

Hi Find, what a beautiful engine, I absolutely love your design and the simplicity of the build. Kudos to your engineering knowledge and your engineering skills.

[@MrSilverballmania]

Opposed piston , the Germans had that in WW2 and Sir that's is a nice job you did explaining it , and have it running . The opposed piston uses less fuel for more power I think that's how it works.

[@kennethjackson7574]

And the Fairbanks-Morse 1938 series engines- diesel, gasoline, and natural gas. They were made with as many as 20 cylinders. Originally intended for locomotives, since the opposed pistons function as the intake and exhaust there are no valves that can be burned by excessive exhaust back pressure. Most of the American WWII submarines used F-M diesels because the exhaust could be discharged underwater to minimize visible smoke.

[@jagga10]

Awesome engine

[@ericlondon5731]

Those flywheel shaft bolts that you are regretting : Try having a solid round collar with a pin that passes through the shaft and collar. Around split roll pin that is slightly over sized before tapping in will stay very well.

[@rxwhat33]

This is so cool!

[@petertothpete6518]

Very interesting, thank you for sharing!. Curious how the bearings are lubricated.

Nicely done ! The younger folks would call that 'steam punk' now days. No steam involved, but they don't think logically anymore.

[@ninefingerdeathgrip]

Nope. Try again. Maybe you aren't thinking logically anymore. This could maybe, just maybe fit into dieselpunk scene. Most likely not.

[@djaydeved]

iirc steampunk is more of a "astetic" which mostly is taking stuff that is still functioning and make it look like shit its a nice astetic but i only like it if it was completed using junk yard/scrap yard/dump sourced parts

[@eggbertfarnsworth5787]

How do the pistons, etc. get lubricated? Awesome engine. Nice video.

[@kevinsellsit5584]

It's a 2 stroke so the cylinder bores will get fuel oil, and the external connecting rod bearings are high end ball bearings that would just need light oiling for long wear. The wrist pin in the piston if bushed would require frequent oil unless they are also roller bearings, which they may be as quiet as it is.

[@fidelcatsro6948]

my yamaha says fuel is mixed with oil in a 2 stroke engine
