Lego Technic MK3 V8 Pneumatic Engine - 10x More Power! 1500 RPM! LPE MOC + 6 SPEED Gearbox Test

[@the_car_guy5915]

​@@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshopIt is an even firing engine but the way the crankshaft is laid out is likely causing a marginal loss in power.

[@jackbelinski6460]

Very nice! I really wish you made a V12 with the smaller cylinders, ive been knocking around the idea of building a model tank with one of these engines at the heart. Even had what I thought was a pretty good idea to run the thing off of a big paintball compressed CO2 tank at like 4000 PSI, and regulate it down to 100 for use in the engine

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

I will be making a V12 Engine after this one. CO2 is too cold of a gas for the plastic under high pressure, I would have to upgrade it to metal cylinders some how. Good idea through.

[@xmysef4920]

I'm half way through the building progress. Fun to build. The instruction is very good and detailed. 100% recommendation. Maybe I have to contact you again, cause I don't know if I should add the turbos or build it without the turbos. If not I maybe have questions because of the installation of the tubes.

They freely spin to very high rpm, they don't provide performance gain only Engine Sound. But they are a cool feature!

[@redshoebox]

@@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop Maybe if the exhaust spinned a more powerful turbine or something that could actually be connected to the engine, it could get more rpms, just a thought.

[@Behemoth_00]

The engine is just awesome, is that a crossplane crankshaft model you used ? I also have some ideas for that engine if you're interested: Did you try putting a flywheel heavy enough for the engine to store momentum as it runs ? I see you also puttted a gearbox which is great. Have you ever considered building a car around that engine and gearbox ? Addind a differential and then make a whole car of it that you'll put on some kind of dyno. (since it's working on compressed air you're using with a compressor, I assume it can't go that far on the ground ^^')

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

Thank you, yes it is a Crossplane. You can add a flywheel to the engine and it will run smoother, the propeller blades in the video act as a Flywheel. The engine still runs very smooth without one. Yes I have made a Car with the older mk2 v8, search for LPE powered Hot rod on my Channel. You can add air tanks to a car and the engine will be powered by the air tanks and not need a air compressor.

Wonderful!! I can't wait for that possible future V12 you told me about! Do you think I could create stronger air tanks to contain more air at a higher pressure and then release it into the system through a valve? Would the system hold in your opinion?

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

Yes, I will make a V12 with 2x11 cylinders. Similar to the mk3 v8. I will also be making a air tank setup for the next project, using paintball air tanks.

[@camarokidbb4347]

A thought occurred to me. If you paired this engine with that gearbox (or the 5-speed as shown on the site), and some of the biggest wheels LEGO has made, could it be possible for it to break ~25-30 mph?

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

Yes It could!

[@camarokidbb4347]

@@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop I was actually thinking of a land speed record-style build that used two of these engines, each hooked up to one of the two axles. It’d be a single-drive with a 0.5:1 or 0.33:1 gear ratio (spinning the axles up to 3,000-4,500 RPM), the long ratio made up for having a combined total of 160 watts and 1.02 Newton-meters torque. To make up for how far flung it’d be from the original operating position, it’d use small CO2 canisters for fuel, attached to regulators that prevent the canisters from blowing the engines apart entirely. If not a land speed record build, then maybe some kind of top fuel dragster build…?

[@WubbleDubble1]

Wait, wouldn’t the engine work the same if you just made it so the air from one piston goes to the other piston on the opposite side? You could then disguise those tubes as an intake manifold.

Great engine! couldn't you use the medium pistons instead of the big ones because they are just a bit shorter but have the same diameter and would work on that crankshaft.

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

Thank you. Yes the Medium ones would work on the same crankshaft. However the Extra Large Cylinders work better for this Engine Design, since the Switchless Mechanism needs the extra space above the Cylinders. The Extra Large Cylinders are also very smooth and provide excellent power.
