Homemade Radial Engine part 3

[@adrianpolley6709]

I'm guessing that's one lawnmower that won't be lent to the neighbours ! Great work.

[@db3170]

That is so fricken Radical OMG

[@Rags2250]

Watched the other videos he had on machining up the parts, to include the sand casting of heads! Would have loved to have been in his shop as he worked the piece of art out! My jaw would have been on the floor, the whole time! And to think of the other applications that engine could be put to! It would be interesting to see that run on a dyno to see what kind of torque and HP it would develop! Thank you for such a treat to see!

[@mikelenz8768]

It's not art...

[@SiR2Dean]

That's how a mower should sound! Briggs and Stratton take note! 😉

[@jvmiller1995]

Love the sound of it. That would look good on the back of a zero turn mower

[@1974UTuber]

Your neighbours must love you when you mow the lawn

[@barryphillips7327]

🤣 the grass stands NO chance against that BEAST, quite amazing really his work!!!!!!👍👍

[@heath7766]

This deserves more views. We'll done and good work

[@Desmouffe]

Thank you. Nice to hear..

[@bsimpson6204]

I need that engine in a Norton Featherbed frame with BMW gearbox and shaft drive rear wheel!

[@Semparo]

What a grand way to keep the yard looking nice while making your neighbors hate you! No really though, this is so cool!

[@SinsBird]

Got this recommended, so commenting, liking and subscribing. Hopefully this vid takes off.

[@Desmouffe]

Thank you!

[@krakhedd]

Aw man, gotta see it mowing!!! Whether thick grass, trees, or humans is optional!! :p

[@aSpyIntheHaus]

I am so glad I found this channel. This is GOLD!

[@petertothpete6518]

Looking forward to part 4!!

[@steamwally]

Definitely needs variable pitch blades for the complete effect...

[@michaelbamber4887]

What a bloody lovely job. Well thats one mower that won't get choked up!

[@Desmouffe]

Some updates are coming later on to make it run smoother.

[@planeben]

Fits the Tim Taylor plan for more power. Ahh, ahh, ahh! Very cool!

[@frontagulus]

When the exhaust is directed into a single pipe, it's easier to hear what the engine sounds like, even more so when it's lightly muffled, it really brings out the tone of the engine

[@Desmouffe]

Yes, thats true. I will do some improvments on it later this year. Must finish my V8 first.

[@fivepointeightnate]

I might start push mowing again!

[@melvin9614]

Just another thing I didn’t know I needed until now

[@MrSlim1959]

That is one Bad Ass lawnmower.

[@aidenreed766]

I love this channel so much. Quality work and interesting projects

[@craigtate5930]

Spectacular! I had considered building a radial by joining a series of BS cylinders together

[@Desmouffe]

That was my intension too, but I could not get it right with the valves and camshafts.

[@jesperfinnborn9888]

Ja grannarna lär ju veta när du ska klippa gräset. 😊😊. Häftigt bygge!

[@nigel900]

Outstanding! 👍🏻

[@rca7591a]

Dang! That's obscene. 😎

[@billdornan4379]

Nice job! 🇨🇦

[@Paulman50]

What a ripper 👍😊

[@ericsorbara5386]

Perfect 👍🏼👍🏼

[@teddrewry6001]

Looks great. What is the displacement?

[@Desmouffe]

1200cc

[@TheAnthroheart]

Bloody Hell!

[@ergomedasa1362]

Wonderfull work well done. By the way is that the chassis of an Stiga Dino lawnmower?

[@Desmouffe]

It's a Huskyjet BS450 1970-80

[@HolyThunder460]

That'll suck the grass up by the roots

[@kyrkbymannen]

Galet cool 🎉

[@austinmaxi]

Can you imagine this on a hover mower🤣

[@JustinDeckardFamilyMan]

Amazing 🤩

[@ChargerMiles007]

I agree, this NEEDS thousands of views, I am going to spread the word with my subscribers and others, these engines are Fantastic! I think part of the problem is that he has only been on KZbin for a few months, I have been here for like 15 years! ChargerMiles007 is on the case, let the promotion begin! :)

[@7o177]

this guy might be even crazier than you charger awesome videos thanks for putting me onto them

[@spudstudios3342]

Cool seeing you here

[@Deviation4360]

Yes and this viewer has followed your videos for 10 of those. Your videos on your modular inline B&S motors are amazing and inspiring.

[@obbyjep7597]

That is really neat Nice job. It's sounds neat to. What happened at the end?

[@Desmouffe]

When I made the cylinders, nr 4 was a bit tight. I will take it apart and look. The crankshaft needs a overhauling anyway.

[@obbyjep7597]

@@Desmouffe really nice work, I can appreciate how much though and work went into it. You will be able to hone the cylinder a bit?

[@midbc1midbc199]

The blade should be a propeller

[@gavmansworkshop5624]

At least it was only idling when it happened.

[@Desmouffe]

I have taken it apart and no visible damage. Probably needs bigger pistonring gap.

[@Nilezy]

seems a waste of a superb engineered radial motor for a lawn mower!! Could have found many other uses like the motor for a paraglider or ultralight plane!! or a scale WW2 RC airplane!! Love the work!!

[@Desmouffe]

The problem was lubrication. I have an oilsump under the motor. If I raise it up it needs a drysump. I was not sure how to solve that.

[@Baumflieger]

How much does the engine weight? Very nice 👍👍👍👍👍

[@Desmouffe]

I dont know, but it's quite heavy

[@aSpyIntheHaus]

Tolerances were a bit tight. Its still good and will loosen up in time. run it really rich and lots of good oil. :)

[@Desmouffe]

I have to take it apart again so the cylinders will be honed. I need to update the crankshaft.

[@aSpyIntheHaus]

@@Desmouffe Well I'll be looking forward to any news about it mate! Cheers,

[@marshallwilliams4054]

What a fantastic radial! How much power do you suppose it puts out? Assuming similar bore and stroke did the Briggs & Stratton, I’m guessing between 15 and 20 hp?

[@Desmouffe]

Yes, 15 hp is a good guess. It will be taken apart later this year for some changes to the crankshaft.

[@d.jensen5153]

@@Desmouffe So glad to learn that we'll see more of this engine!

[@ericeller9165]

How long can you run it without cooling fins on the heads?

[@Desmouffe]

There is cooling fins on the heads but no forced cooling. I think the cylinders are more critical. 5 min perhaps. Its a display engine...

[@Desmouffe]

Sorry . I mixed the videos. But the answer is still not more than 5 min, or less. I will do some more work onit later this year...

[@BobPackard]

an 850 CC lawnmower, you must have VERY long grass?

[@Desmouffe]

👍

[@jimengle1615]

But will it cut? lol

[@larss337]

How many HP?

[@Desmouffe]

8 x 3hp should be 24hp but I think 15 is closer to truth...

[@Timb0NZ]

@@Desmouffe 8? I count 5 cylinders.

[@Desmouffe]

@@Timb0NZ My mistake. 5 x 3 makes 15 hp. I was on the V8 project...

[@notsogreat123]

Engines seize up if they don't have a cooling system

[@76629online]

Gotta put oil in em…

[@Desmouffe]

I'm going to do some updates on this later on. Right now I have my hands full with my V8

[@jamesmarsh1831]

Too nice to use cutting grass.

[@joserefe5950]

No proper cooling🤔

[@Desmouffe]

I know. I had to put it somwhere, why not a lawnmower.

[@VYXtreme]

Mow some grass,

[@asslowshop396]

Nice work

[@biggussniffus5537]

Did it seize?
