@@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop nice. I'm australian and have been all my life but have a NewZealand name. Yet have never been to NZ. When I do eventually come over to NZ could we meet up? Maybe teach me a few thing about how gears work? I have never understood how to make complex/simple gears.

[@bloeckmoep]

Really awesome that engine and the whole hotrod. One question here: have you tried to RC'fy the car with a bottle of compressed air spray or iSi soda capsule and an Sbrick for remote controling? That would be the ultimate compressed air rc machine.

I love the perfect timing of the pistons and the fact that you have built an entire chassis for the engine. The only thing that I miss, that would have made me melt is a gearbox. Anyways it is undeniably one the most amazing creations I've ever seen made with Lego. Great work

[@sebastianhieke1228]

Is something so hard to build so the engine????

[@slaz_snipezz7869]

Green Gecko Lego Technic Workshop I think you should do a really low gearing v12 for power so you can really off road I know it's not realistic but it would still be cool an i6 would work too but you need really low gearing

[@slaz_snipezz7869]

[@brendenhooper5614]

U should make a LEGO air compressor and use it to power the motor steering ect and use wireless power functions or NXT

[@LetsBuildIt]

There is something oddly satisfying in this sound on 7:13 It's like "full compressed air ahead!" I love it!

[@curiouslamp2841]

I think I'm so smart until I see people build things like this. Like, seriously, I can't even comprehend how you get everything to simply fit together, much less operate.

Do you think it's worth lubricating all those squeaky plastic moving parts somehow? I always think about this when I see Lego creations on KZbin.

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

yes and no, if you want to use the parts in another model i recommend not to. but if the model (engine ) is going to stay built, it is worth it. my engines no don't squeak so i don't do it. the yellow knob gears are the problem in this car.

Green Gecko Lego Technic Workshop no problem keep it up

[@iSchmidty13]

Very cool! Steering would be even quicker and more precise if it was hydraulic, could you just fill the pneumatic steering system with water?

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

thank you, i chose not to put water in the steering cylinders because it would make it rust. i could use thin oil, maybe next time.

[@iSchmidty13]

Green Gecko Lego Technic Workshop good thinking! Rust hadn't occurred to me, are they plastic and steel? I would've thought aluminum or stainless!

[@scottflora5816]

Does it have more torque than a xl motor? and really cool video!

[@1stKwestionable]

The pneumatic elements output more force than Legos can really handle. You'd snap things left and right if you held the output shaft with pliers and gave it full pressure.

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

this engine the power of about 8 XL motors and the rpm of a buggy motor. very powerful, and excellent power to weight ratio too

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

it would not snap, but it wouldn't be good for it.

[@Nico71Fr]

According to my calculator, the power is about 18W if you modified the switch, for 11N.cm (XL has 40n.cm at 220rpm, so 5N.cm if we compare to 1500rpm by gearing up).

[@scottflora5816]

Nice! And thanks for replying

[@lightingmage8067]

its looks amazing

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

thanks

[@WH32R]

if you put lithium grease on the gears, it should silence the squeak

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

i did that, it helped a bit.

[@lucianlego687]

I might've missed something, but if the controller has to be connected to the car, how does the car drive around and be controlled if the car is just dragging the controller? Dumb question I know, I'd imagine you'd just have a really really long air tube, great build by the way! I love how the wheels can turn

[@lordridler914]

You need to try and put the engine on the 8860 set

[@Sanzerizeli]

Are you kidding))) amazing

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

Thanks

[@JoranPrins]

Would it work better for the steering if you add fluid (water) in the cylinders? Maybe it is a little faster response then.

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

yes and no, water will make it rust but will be better for the steering. it works fine how it is.

[@fidgetspinner6981]

Green Gecko Lego Technic Workshop use distilled

[@brandenhaberek]

Is there a one way, 2 entrance valve you could use to put one good blast of air in to get the LPE up to a sufficient rpm so that the car goes without needing more air? The pistons then producing their own pressure as it goes??

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

it wouldn't work

[@brandenhaberek]

Green Gecko Lego Technic Workshop I wonder why not.. in theory, a one way, dual input valve would.. but then there’s the issue of charging the engine with enough pressure to keep it going.. air leaks in minor imperfections.. yeah.. I see how it won’t work.

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

the engine wont run on it self forever , it is simple physics.

[@brandenhaberek]

Green Gecko Lego Technic Workshop wasnt my strongest subject in high school lol.

[@emth7084]

would having water in the lines to the sterring make it more responsive? dunno if thats a good idea though

[@Ryan-ql4vz]

i also have a suggestion make a air tank built in so it doesn't need to have hoses following it around

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

Yes, i already thought of that.

[@christoph9064]

You could consider making a car with an actual gearbox and the v8 engine. A four-wheel-Drive System would be dope as well!

[@oliverssimanis8345]

Oh my god this bloody legend made even the steering with a pneumatic pump

[@clumoostudios3585]

Make a clutch on it, when engine turns on, the wheels don't move. When you put it on forward it will automatically move

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

i would have done that if there was room, thanks

[@LegoTechnicEmbodiment]

This is impressive!

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

thanks

[@Isegawa2001]

Nice! Is the engine a crossplane or a flatplane?

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

the engine is a V8 crossplane

[@ST3W1010]

I think Lego should add pneumatic pieces like a little electric air pump and things like that.

[@mahmutsamikaya3781]

Çok iyi yaptın bu harika

[@K0wp3R]

I WANT IT it's so amazing dude

[@Giraffiti]

I’m building a Technic DeLorean MOC and I’d like to put a V6 LPE in it but I don’t have much, if any, knowledge on them. Does the LPE produce any air pressure and if so, how? I plan to use a buggy motor as my main propulsion but I need some pneumatic power for braking and for the hydraulic doors and have an empty engine bay. I may also use the extra pressure to store in a dump tank which goes back into the engine, simulating a rev.

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

Unless your DeLorean is going to be 1/8th scale there will be limited room for everything, LPEs pretty much take air in and push it out the exhausts on the switches. you cant easily capture the exhaust pressure. Pneumatics will work fine for the doors.

[@Giraffiti]

Green Gecko Lego Technic Workshop, yup, I’m going 1:8 scale. Another reason why I want an LPE, because my engine bay would be really empty.

[@Vegas4425]

this is amazing

[@soulinfect8116]

Is there a way to make this remote controlled but still with a pneumatic engine? What I mean by this is can this be cordless?

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

Yes, with a on board Air Tank. I did this on my 8x8 LPE Powered Tatra Truck.

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

Requires a lot of airflow and pressure, Lego compressors can power my Pneumatic Engines.... It's just easier to use a Air Tank

[@layeredchip3220]

Green Gecko Lego Technic Workshop that’s fair.

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

thanks

[@MajorArchitect-0]

I noticed You modified the valves, did You modify the pistons? For some odd reason my pistons don’t seem to extend quite far enough, like their 1 or 2 mm to short. When they hit top dead center there is a noticeable drag in the engine as it struggles to stretch past

[@MajorArchitect-0]

I built an identical engine

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

i modified both, the cylinders i used is the V2 type of the small cylinder. the older small cylinders are not long enough by 1 - 2mm, i mentioned this in the description and instructions of my V8 LPE. Thanks

[@ruslan_s2030]

Really cool,but you should put there big cylinders

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

there is no room

[@Nobody-oo2yi]

rather than using the large tank for air storage, i would use a motor to make a compressor so it does not have to have air pumped back into it every now and again, so then you can use it for as long as the battery on the pf battery box lasts, and it might be able to increase speed too. maybe you could do it fora possible v2 version.

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

I didn't go with using a air compressor because then you wont be able to hear the Sound from the V8, Air tanks work a lot better from my experience

[@protheon]

Man, try to connect it to a co2 catridge, remember to connect limiter to it :D

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]
