Bro how i tested an engine i picked up. Just hanging off a cherry picker by a rope. . i had the oil pan resting on a tire.

[@Colorado_Native]

I had an International Scout II way back we used for off-roading. It had an oil pick up in the front and the rear of the oil pan. Never a problem with oil starvation.

[@izaacbanks3337]

I seen an international 500 crawler that had a swinging oil pickup

Never seen it before but always used swinging pans and never had issues

Those internationals were excellent. I knew come that had a scout/ scout 2 back in the day. Those things were very well built.

@@kentworch They were great. I had a Scout during high school and traded it for a new 1973 upon graduation.

The thing is when turning, the high g forces would swing the oil to the other end way more than just slowly tilting the engine does

[@SageJMP]

45 degrees is basically 1G......most road cars can't hit 1G. Race cars are about the only thing that has to worry about Gs and they use dry sumps anyways.

[@jareknowak8712]

True. At hard breaking the whole oil would be horizontally on the front. Fill the bottle with water, put it on the seat and watch what will happend.

[@chiefdenis]

@@SageJMP i don't know how you arrived at that conclusion, but many wet sump cars have blown engines on track days due to oil starvation. Around fast long corners that pool of oil will slosh vertically and leave the oil pickup due to high g forces

[@takablepigon9686]

in regular cars it doesn't mater that much because eve if it was violently thrown to one side, it would only be for a few/less than a second, and engines can work perfectly fine without begin supplied with oil for a few seconds, just with the thin layer of oil that remains in between parts, think about when you start your car and that few moments when the pump hasn't yet managed to push oil all the way through but your engine IS turning. It matters most for constant turning like in a race, which I think is faithfully represented in this setup.

I wonder how the pressure is kept for an aircraft engine ? Those stunt planes go at all crazy angles !

[@simaesthesia]

I guess they run a dry sump and have a separate oil reservoir that can supply oil to the pump at all angles. I might be wrong.

[@volvo09]

I believe the pilots learn to fly in ways that keep the fuel and oil under positive G force most of the time. If they keep flying at -G's then even the pilot is wanting to come out of the seat.

[@motorenbastler9289]

The difference between Europe/US and russian. Someone asks: How much pitch before loosing oil pressure. Europe/US Engineers: Well my high technic computer simulation program says up to 45 degrees. Russia: We dont have that lets test it! Well i love the russian way. All the question we wanted to now get answered

[@AnalogDude_]

The Russian's planted a space craft on planet Venus in 1954, they also planted an object on the moon before USA landed on the moon. The Russians invented the camera tube for television camera's, to name a few. they are by no means stupid, just their culture is different. Now they are competing with Rolls Royce, Bentley.

The Soyus(II) space craft is pretty much the best space craft ever.

[@philip4x4guy]

[@simonallan9941]

I had a shortage of oil pressure in my old 70 Chrysler Valiant Pacer, from oil going to the rear of the engine too suddenly when accelerating a bit much, but it was an even older engine from a Dodge that had no windage tray/baffle, also it only started doing this after I replaced the differential with a limited slip type.

[@PaletG_]

My most favorite channel now

[@MrtalentedReid]

This is amazing

[@Tumbleweed_Tx]

the oil sloshes around in the pan as the car moves. You can't simulate that, you have to put the clear oil pan on an engine in a car. That would be a fun experiment.

[@MadScientist267]

If you look at the design of the engine, you can see how the engineers already accounted for all of this. The pan/pickup is situated so as to ensure the engine maintains pressure at any angle the car can be expected to be at. At the angles the pump loses pressure, the car would be sliding on the road, and in the case of uphill/acceleration, where the design allowed for oil loss, the car can't generate enough G force under its own power to make it happen. The sump is situated to the front because braking induces stronger forces than acceleration. Sloshing is reduced by the baffle Vlad mentioned in the beginning, but when it happens, has the effect of only slightly lowering the average level. In other words, a properly filled engine in a typical passenger car will never lose oil pressure from extreme operating angle or pedal/steering induced G force effects.

[@bryanluna6003]

You should see if you can make the steering column wrap around the whole car lol let’s see how long you can make it

[@davidhocevar8510]

could just use old cement mixer

[@mirzadaullymun7129]

@16.27 so that's how you throw a rod when turning right in old 90s hatchbacks

[@rizash]

This is why I check my oil level with the engine running. Covers the amount it drops. Don’t care if it’s a little high when it’s not running.

[@ouch1011]

Not that this channel tests things with any level of accuracy, but using the stock oil pressure is not a good way to see if the engine has enough oil pressure. Pretty much all of those switches are designed to turn on the light at like 3-5 psi. Your engine might survive for a little while at idle with that kind of pressure, but it will survive mere seconds if it is under any kind of load with that kind of pressure. That’s how people end up losing oil pressure and destroying their engine during track driving or even just doing donuts in a parking lot, and often the warning light will just flicker or not even come on. An actual pressure gauge would have been far, far more useful in this test.

[@1marcelfilms]

What happens if you top it up with water? Just as it is too low on oil add water.

[@Mackze]

I just took the corner hard at high rpm with one of those engines and lost oil pressure. The level was right between full and empty

[@lamp7746]

That’s the “ideal” level but it’s better to have too much than too little.

[@brianleduc2244]

The oil pressure will still pump ,, untill the tub comes out of the oil level the oil screan can come out of the oil but still the tub is in the oil ..?. If you had a swinging oil pickup tub you can run the engine at a 90 degree and tub still in the oil

[@gifilipo]

All of the oil experiments I’ve seen in here are teaching me that you should always run at least one litre above the max limit. It won’t hurt, but will guarantee no starvation even more.

[@brianhuber9148]

Is it possible to make an engine turn backwards and using the exhaust port as the intake and the intake port as the exhaust?

[@jareknowak8712]

Yes it is possibile, but that's quite a big job. You need to change the rotation of the oil and water pumps.

[@paasosentomi]

i was wondering if these fellas could help me settle an argument. i thought i have seen a video of someone bending steel rims in a hydraulic press in a way that it changes the wheel offset from positive towards negative for more aggressive stance. someone said this couldnt be done. Ive searched all i could and this is my last resort. lets go garage 54 !

[@user-lt7ne9mv9b]

And there's no water cooling. What tough engines these Ladas must have. I'm sure Nivas would climb more than 30degrees. They were very capable four wheel drives; certainly went more places than our N110 hilux. And a lot cheaper to run.

Honestly this would differ depending on the engine. One engine i have can get down under a quart and it still picks oil and has pressure. Another one if its at 1 quart it dont pick up properly.

So how do these inverted aircraft engines work, this could be something to figure out.

[@zf9903]

Inverted engines do have issues with oil seeping past the pistons, so operators must be careful to inspect for hydrolock conditions before starting the engine for the day. Otherwise, they use a dry sump system, which utilizes a separate sump for dedicated, angle-independent oiling. The engine in the video is a wet sump.

[@nathangarner9468]

How many times can you turn the wheel side to side in a stationary position until the tire goes flat?

[@nathangarner9468]

​@volvo09 That's the video that had my brian turning. The dedication in that was wild

[@jareknowak8712]

Depends on tire/rubber, surface, temperature and weight/force on the wheel. Probably thousands of time.

Same tire, neutral temp between 21°-30°. One tire on asphalt, other on cement. Amd naturally the car being a lada
