In-Line 4-cylinder engine working paper model

Working model of 4-cylinder in-line engine is fully made of paper (only one detail is made from transparent plastic which allows to see how "gas-distributing" mechanism works). The model runs on compressed air. You can download this model plans here: drive.google.c...

[@charms1944]

How well do you roll blunts lol nice work man honestly I'm impressed

[@captrich420]

That is so impressive. While other kids were making paper airplanes in school you were making working engines. One of the most impressive things I have seen on KZbin in a long time.

Step one: fold a blank sheet of paper!!! Me: already lost!! 😂😂😂😂😂

What kind of sorcery is this!!! Great!

[@homestyle2000]

Interesting how the cross plane crank gives it that unique burble like in the yzf r1 and most v8 engines.

[@davidrobert2007]

I totally agree with you. The "v8 sound" should be called the "crossplane crank" sound as that's what it really is. When you hear a v8 with a flatplane crank it sounds just like an inline four with a flatplane crank (ie: dull;). Hardly anyone seems to see this.

[@mecanomy]

great..great..great.. This paper machines work very well and If you within the cylinder is coated with graphite powder (you can use a pencil tip) , it will be more slippery and will not compression leak .. because the paper is "porous" material .. if you use the same cylinders and pistons for stirling engine (power piston) , will work best.... good work !....

[@Khalastas]

I've nearly finished this model. Fucking hard work.

[@nothingssmore]

Of course you can make any angles for crank deviations, but in this case you should change camshaft deviations appropriately.

[@cooldd463]

I'm making the single cylinder one currently.

These shaded lines mean that you have to adhere another detail to this area. Sorry, I didn't mark numbers of details that must be adhered on each area, but I believe it should be clear from photos.

@asianvinny , I don't plan to sell this model , it's just hobby :)

[@faizalt.p9930]

Hey that is insane..You'v got the complete assembly file too...:)

[@nothingssmore]

I know :) But car engine have 4-stroke cycle, and my model is kind of "2-stroke". The more serial impulses to crankshaft during one turnover the best. With parallel crankshaft we cant get 4 serial power strokes during one turnover.

[@ra3319]

Have you thought about trying a different "firing order"? 1342, 1324 instead of 1234 etc?

[@nothingssmore]

@7lover1 , it made from paper stick (office paper) and cardboard. You can download plans (link to them is in the video description), and see the detailed assembly photos.

[@1gettingup1]

I keep wondering how did you cut it so precisely that everything works. I re-did mine 2 times, everything moves on my model but compressed air wont make it move. I used your plans.

[@nothingssmore]

It is hard to say why your model is not working. Actually no one of my models work from the first time for me too - it is paper :) Also the plans are not ideal, I'm not a professional in it. The only thing that I can advice without seeing actual model - try to ensure that the friction is minimal - it should move very smooth

What kind of glue you use? You are very good and you have a lot of patience! ;-) Good job

[@nothingssmore]

+Mr. Fai da te , for this engine I used mostly PVA(polivinilacetate), but for further models I decided to use superglue (cyanoacrylate), because it is "faster", and it is not water-based, wich is better for paper work

[@Bigbos-bs8ty]

+Aliaksei Zholner I'm stuck with number 37 , I can't seem to find out what it is for

[@Bigbos-bs8ty]

+Aliaksei Zholner also please make a clearer picture of how to make the paper engine please

[@nothingssmore]

there are 3 types of paper used - office paper, whatman (dense paper) and cardboard

[@Chumbbo]

can you please make some plans? i really want to make this one

[@nothingssmore]

@MrExtremsX , в каком смысле - где? Если вы о программе 3d моделинга - то я такими пользоваться не умею. К сожалению :( Делал так, по собственным чертежам, если их можно назвать чертежами :)

I've already thought about v8 model :) But unfortunately I have no time enough for the moment.

[@DailyM172]

@nothingssmore is the part 32 glued to the chassis or the rod? do i need to cut a hole in the middle of part 18? is 19 glued to part 19? are shaft E and D set to 90 degrees? do you thickens the office paper?

[@nothingssmore]

is the part 32 glued to the chassis or the rod? - to the chassis, it is kind of "stand" for the camshaft do i need to cut a hole in the middle of part 18? - no is 19 glued to part 19? - no, it should only be bent by dashed lines in different directions, to form a spring do you thickens the office paper? - no, first two pages of templates should be print on wathman (with density 120-180 g/m2), and there are tips which materials should be used for parts on the third page

Привет. Моделка огонь! Скажи пожалуста, а куда девается отработаный воздух из цилиндра когда он в нижней мёртвой точке в конце рабочего хода и начинается цикл на другом, или он утекает через неплотности между втулкои и поршнем?

[@vjacheslavloichits1966]

@@nothingssmore Понял, спасибо.

[@marteloficina]

Congratulations! I'm trying to build one of these engines and I've already downloaded the model. But please, what is the position of each connecting rod in the crankshaft? Is it 90° each? Sorry my bad english

[@nothingssmore]

Yes, each crank in the crankshaft is shifted by 90 degree from previous

[@marteloficina]

Does the air go through the gap of the pistons and cylinders?

[@nothingssmore]

correct

[@marteloficina]

I was thinking of using graphite to lubricate the cylinders and bearings, to reduce friction, will it work?

[@nothingssmore]

It's hard to say without trying; but if you'll use my templates, please note that the gap between piston and cylinder is already quite small (about 0.5mm), so if you plan to add additional graphite surface, you maybe will want to increase the gap either by reducing piston or by increasing cylinder diameter

[@E30VSTHEWORLD]

Bad ass!

[@bytefloww]

how do you make the holes so perfect? Do you have any tips? And btw, instead of using 0.5mm cardboard, can i use paper with superglue to make it resistent? Im using a thicker paper so i think its better

[@nothingssmore]

I make holes with a modelling knife at most, but sometimes I use punchers of an appropriate diameter. As for the paper with superglue instead of cardboard - yes, I guess it will work, if the sickness will be the same(or at least similar)

can i use a wooden dowel? and thanks for the reply :)

[@Chumbbo]

how did you make the crankshaf?

[@elismith4961]

I am wanting to build an engine similar to this that uses the same type of cam and valve setup. Do you think this can work at a higher pressure like 10+psi?

[@nothingssmore]

It is hard to say. Maybe yes, with all parts made of cardboard and reinforced with something like superglue

[@elismith4961]

Aliaksei Zholner thanks for the reply. I'm planning on 3D printing it so I don't think the part strength would be a very big problem. I've 3D printed the parts for an air engine before and it works well with some metal parts and ball bearings for the crankshaft. I'm just concerned that the valves would start to be held down so hard by the air pressure that they would cause a lot of resistance to opening and then make the engine run worse at higher pressure

[@nothingssmore]

@asianvinny , no scaling needed

[@nothingssmore]

it works using principle of pneumatic engine

[@MrSahle]

Hey buddy thank you so much...iv made a scaled up version of the same thing...but can't get enough compression by blowing into it as its big...I really did not understand the concept of those zig zag paper on the tappets..anyways I'm done and I shall share it with u...

[@nothingssmore]

Zigzag paper is spring that should press on tappet for tighter valve closing, but I think that it would work even without springs. Anyway, nice to hear that you built your model, try to connect it to more powerful air source, for example to compressor ) and upload video

[@TalonRochefort]

On the model plan, 37 is 4 pieces of the small parts (so total of 8 [4/4] for each)?

[@nothingssmore]

+TalonRochefort , yes, there should be 32 parts of piece #37, and each knee of crankshaft requires 2 details each of which contains 4 parts of piece #37

a set of valves are opened by camshaft driven by the crankshaft, and these valves let compressed air to go to cylinders in appropriate time moments
