Clerget 9B Assembly Movie (HD)

The Clerget 9B Assembling Movie.
Based on a true story about Assembling the Clerget 9B Aero Engine.
Manufactured in both France and Britain, it was the main power plant for the Sopwith Camel and many other British aircraft.

Quite a few. Pierre Clerget together with his partner Blin started their engineering company, producing rotary engines, as well as the Gnome/Le Rhone Engineering company founded in 1913 by the engineers Louis Seguin and his brother Laurent. In the early days of aviation, engines had to be light, offering an excellent power to weight ration These rotary engines designs provided excellent self-cooling.

This isnt a rotary engine, its a radial engine, there's a difference

[@theborg5981]

The Clerget 9B was, in fact, a rotary engine. It wasn't a Wankel Engine, which is what is now also known as a rotary engine, but it was a rotary engine nonetheless. The difference between this type of rotary engine and a radial engine is that the radial engine has a fixed cylinder "block" with a rotating crankshaft whereas this engine and similar rotary engines had a stationary crankshaft and the engine itself rotated around the crankshaft

To use one of the current buzzwords, this video is VERY satisfying. Excellent animation, and even the music was OK, subtle and smooth. Great vid!! I have to amend this comment...each time I re-watch this vid, I am more and more impressed. The animation's parts' actual 'motion' is smooth, and precise. Positions of pieces are logical. The actual 'rendering' (is that the word?, the creation of the images of the pieces) is SO realistic. Texture of the surfaces, shadows, sharpness (threads etc.) great! The text is concise but clear and well-phrased. I was surprised at how 'thin' the carburetors were. I was almost totally unfamiliar with these types of rotating engines, I'd heard of them but never seen one, even an animation, in action.I was literally amazed to watch it rotate, and still find it a little hard to fathom, despite seeing it all laid out. lol All in all, quite an impressive vid.

It's the old, they don't make them like that anymore. . . For good reason lol Great video!

Indeed, but keep in mind that weight was an important issue during the early days of aviation. Rotary engines have no need for cooling liquid, pipes, water jackets, radiator or batteries. They provided excellent self-cooling. The rotating crankcase/cylinder assembly created its own cooling airflow, even with the aircraft at rest. Because of the rotating mass, no flywheel is needed. They provided and excellent power to weight ratio. Just fyi, the Gnome B2 engine is currently being remanufactured by CAMS in New Zealand (see: cams.net.nz/gnome-rotary-engine-remanufacture/ The engine is also available via KipAero (www.kipaero.com/) Thanks for your compliment and for watching !!

@@pierrejansen2702 I would give anything to be a fly on the wall back in the turn of the last century to see the processes used to achieve those finished surfaces. Concentric bores, flat smooth parallel stacked assembly items and so on. I am a journeyman machinist/ toolmaker for almost 40 years and understand what close tolerances really mean and what it takes to achieve them. One step above master craftsman.

[@pierrejansen2702]

@@homeagain9692 Indeed masterpieces of engineering. No CAD nor CNC, just pure craftmanship. All designed by pencil on paper, rulers, calipers, triangles and possibly slide-rulers (Faber-Castell) to do the math. Enough reasons for me trying to keep this history alive! Cheers

[@richardchambers3533]

That must be a nightmare to get the timing right on that🤯

[@pierrejansen2702]

If you got the exhaust and inlet valves timing gears right for one cylinder, it'll be correct for all 9. Same for the ignition timing. However, next comes all the inlet- and exhaust push rods ..... Thanks for your response and for watching !!

I am lost for words here ! This is just the most interesting and well produced video I have ever seen, the amount of work that must have gone into this gem must have been enormous , I can only say thank you for having the vision to produce this. Unfortunately the morons that insist that the engine does not rotate on a rotary engine will not see this video, they should be forced to watch it, not that their miniscule brains would comprehend what they were seeing ! Very Many Thanks for posting this!

[@pierrejansen2702]

Thank you for your compliments. It's these words of appreciation that make me forget the time I've spent on this animation project.

[@453421abcdefg12345]

Pierre Jansen: Is the crankcase made from a mild steel billet or a lost wax casting, I thought the cam followers had rollers on them, is this an earlier engine with solid cam followers , or am I thinking of the BR engine ? Chris B.

[@pierrejansen2702]

Bill, as far as I know (and can see) is that the crankcase halves were casted. Don’t know what technique they’ve used in those days. Regarding the cam followers, the Clerget doesn’t need rollers. To see how this works, go to my site ( www.pjvision.nl ) , click on the Clerget tab and next on the Timing Gears animation (right side, 3rd picture from top).

[@453421abcdefg12345]

Pierre Jansen: Ahhh , that makes it much more clear, your really excellent animation showing the valve gear function, shows that it is an eccentric movement operating on the cam follower and not the "normal" wiping motion that we see on the BR2 engine, many thanks for directing me to your site,(I will now spend the rest of the morning looking at the contents). Thanks again, Chris B.

[@norkh1707]

Didn't understand anything, but very interesting!

[@pierrejansen2702]

Thanks for your response. Just to make it a bit more clear ... Rotary engines were widely used for aircraft during the WW1 period. The crankshaft remains stationary and the entire cylinder block rotates around it. The crankshaft was fixed solidly to the airframe, and the propeller was simply bolted to the front of the crankcase. Weight was an important issue during the early days of aviation. Rotary engines have no a need for cooling liquid, pipes, water jackets and the radiator. This provides excellent self-cooling, the rotating crankcase/cylinder assembly created its own cooling airflow, even with the aircraft at rest. Because of the rotating mass, no flywheel is needed. They provided and excellent power to weight ratio. Thanks for watching !!

[@LaurieDacy]

Awesome - in the old sense of filled me with awe, both of the graphics and the original engineers. But I still can't cope with the fuel entering via the crankcase!

[@pierrejansen2702]

The mixture goes through the hollow crankshaft into the crankcase. During the inlet stroke, the inlet valve being opened, it was sucked into the appropriate cylinder through the induction pipe attached to the inlet valve seat on top of the cylinder (head). Note that the petrol tank was pressurized to assure petrol flow (through the Tampier mixing device) to the carburettor.

In Deutschland wurde dieser Motor als Oberursel Gnom nachgebaut und war extrem erfolgreich. Der rote Focker Dreidecker des Roten Barons Richthofen hatte diesen Motor.

[@pierrejansen2702]

Yes, it indeed was the Gnome engine that was build under license by Oberursel. I have been checking the Oberursel as well, searching for specific details. Thanks for your comment and thanks for watching !!

Very very nicely done tech video! Been around airplanes since about 1953. Dad was in the Air Force and we flew from places like Rio to the U. S. in recip engined planes. I did not fly in a jet till 1967. I worked near a U.S. Air Force base during my career as an engineer at White Sands Missile Range in NM and saw many old recip engined bombers at the Air Show and Family Days at Holloman A. F .B. Your video brings smiles to my face and a song to my heart!

Fantástico trabalho de projeto e animação. Mas balancear um motor desses com toda essa massa girando devia ser uma coisa de outro planeta!

Ricardo, thanks for your complements. Indeed, the balancing of this engine was very important. However it would only run at 1500 RPM max.
