Radial Engine Assembly Animation

[@TheMikephx]

Wow, I just Googled "how a radial airplane engine works from the inside," and here I am. Awesome and beautiful! Now I know. I used to work in the modeling and animation field, so I know how much time and effort went into this. Amazing job, just subscribed!

[@DanCabralDesign]

Hi Mike Thanks so much for your positive comment I’m glad you liked it and subscribed :)

[@eliterry3785]

Some people give thumbs down just because they’re miserable. Wonderful work. Thanx for posting!

[@DanCabralDesign]

No worries thanks Eli

[@larrypalmer2415]

I have been wondering how a radial engine was lubricated.....now I know! Great animation!! Thank you!

[@DanCabralDesign]

No worries Larry and thanks for you message, glad it helped

[@olafzijnbuis]

Great work! A few notes: - Radial engines were used in WW II too. In fact, many are still used today. - Radial engines are not used often on lightweight aircraft. They tend to be too heavy and powerful. Most lightweight aircraft use a 4 or 6-cylinder boxer-type engine.

[@DanCabralDesign]

Thanks mate, and thanks for the general comments about radial engines - great summary My description regarding application is focused on the Rotec R2800 and Rotec Aerosport current market.

[@chalcac3462]

Outstanding! Makes you weep at the number of such engines that were destroyed during wars!

[@DanCabralDesign]

Thanks Chal Chac, and yes it is terrible to think how many of these magnificent machines were destroyed

That's a radial engine. For rotary engine, do a search for "Wankel engine."

Found this through Reddit, love it,. there's something highly satisfying about seeing something complex come together from simple components. Like Lego level 100. This must have taken you ages to model and animate but I could watch this sort of stuff all day and I hope you make another!

very awesome video, great animation, very well done !

Thanks mate really appreciate it

[@natestube222]

Great work, Dan! You've invested a boat load of time in the model - you should use that to your advantage and animate/render some section cuts that describe the piston, rod, cylinder relationship etc. It would also be amazing to play with in VR. Let me know if you want to collaborate.

[@DanCabralDesign]

Thanks mate, and yes I have put countless hours into this animation so I am glad you and many others are enjoying my work :) I completely agree that sectioning the model to show the internal workings would be incredible and it would be awesome to use in VR.

Beautiful work. I was hoping to see a planetary reductor and trust bearings. How much to buy this model?

[@DanCabralDesign]

Hello Tim, thanks for the comment And the planetary reduction is in the model, but not shown in the exploded animation as it is a preassembled subassembly. This model has never actually been purchased, but you can contact me via email to discuss other opportunities at [e-mail]

[@TheFleetflyer]

This is a Rotec radial engine (not to be confused with a rotary engine). This is not a reproduction of an old engine, but a new clean-sheet design that is used in a wide variety of both modern and vintage-looking light aircraft. www.rotecaerosport.com/

[@matiashagen9176]

Excelente animación, y muy educativa. Gracias por compartirla... Solo un detalle para evitar confusión. No sé sobre que planos tu has basado este render, pero el motor no es de la WWI, mas bien pareciera ser un Continental A-70, muy popular en los '30s.

[@DanCabralDesign]

Thank you Matias

[@redblue40rc33]

Lots of parts... interesting

[@PrusPrusic]

Great video. Any bearings between piston and piston rod, piston rod and crank?

[@DanCabralDesign]

Thank you :) Yes there are preassembled bronze bushes pressed into both ends of the rods, including a bronze bearing on the crank end of the master rod that mates with the crank

[@drpoundsign]

WOW! They were able to do ALL this in the Olden days-with NO computers??

[@ChristianRB89]

In ww1 most "radial" engines were rotary engines, which is a lot different than this. Looks to be a Rotec radial. Maybe its already broken! :D

[@DanCabralDesign]

Yes Christian you are right, most WW1 aircraft were powered by rotary, but indeed this is one of them and they are currently used predominately in WW1 style aircraft by home-builders and aviation enthusiasts that build WW1 replicas. I like your last statement and can't say you are wrong ;) Some people have described them as a death trap haha! But I know there are many types of lightweight aircraft successfully flying today powered by these Rotec Radials. From my position I am just interested in the design and I am please with my animation of this engine :) I hope you enjoyed the video!

Hey mate, can u tell which softwares help this high and fine rendering?

[@DanCabralDesign]

Hey mate, try using key shot for rendering

[@SoundsLikeOdie]

I think I follow what is going on. Where is the fuel delivery, Is the carburetor missing or did I miss it?

[@DanCabralDesign]

Ok great, I do not show the fuel delivery, but it at 46s you can see the intake manifold and carburetor coupling. Check the Rotec website for more info - www.rotecaerosport.com

[@alexandrosdainas106]

how can i make a 3d animation program for an engine i am interested in? which program should i use? how do i insert each part from the service manual? how do you get this result? Thanks for the help.

[@DanCabralDesign]

I would recommend that you use the softwares that I used here... for your 3D modelling and technical drawings for manuals you should use solidworks cad... and then for rendering purposes making realistic visuals you should use key shot.

[@aviatorjakeRS]

What is the music? Guess I’m one of the few that liked it

[@DanCabralDesign]

Thanks mate, haha it is nice to know someone does! I think it is pretty cool for a KZbin free track - it is called 'Aviated' Nice name and appropriate ;)

[@hoanghuu9753]

Are you render using Keyshot software?

[@DanCabralDesign]

👍 yep

[@s.burhanhassan7595]

which software used for rendering and exploded view

[@DanCabralDesign]

Initially exploded in SW, and then rendered in Keyshot

[@truilt]

would be useful if there were a version with the names of the parts flashing on the screen as each one is put in place

[@DanCabralDesign]

Yes I agree, I will hopefully get a chance to do that one day

[@Icefox297]

Nice, Reddit brought me here!

[@ianm1898]

Hi sir I want to ask, If I want to animate movement which has constraint link one part and another does we have to animate it one by one? I make 3d model in inventor, When I render in keyshot, I rotate the crankchaft but the connecting rod doesnt move, do I have to animate each part?I cant figure how to make it happen,because it has a rotational and translational movement in a same time

[@DanCabralDesign]

Hi Ian, you will likely need to do this for the Master Rod and only one of the link rods. The animation steps you add will then be able to be copied and applied to the other link rods as they will be identical parts. You are correct, you will need to do a rotational and transnational animation steps simultaneously. Be sure to orient them about the parts coordinates and not the render scene, this way you will be able to copy and apply linked animation steps to the other link rods/piston assemblies

[@ivanehsan2683]

I am just thinking about how they made it with paper and pencil early when it was manufactured during war.. without 3d modelling software thats insane.

[@DanCabralDesign]

Yes it is unbelievably impressive

[@danielependola1580]

Ma questo motore come è alimentato perche' si vede la turbina il collettore di aspirazione una pompa AC meccanica per il carburante ok , ma il carburatore o l'iniezione ??

[@DanCabralDesign]

Sorry I only speak English, can you please translate?

[@IhwanGhazali]

is this using inventor brother?

[@chunlang41]

It turns out that Harley motorcycles only use two cylinders. OHV(Over Head Valve) engines limit higher performance.

[@DanCabralDesign]

Yeah that’s sounds right

[@ellfanelf8121]

how long does it take to render this scene?

[@DanCabralDesign]

It is hard to say as I re-rendered snippets and developed this animation over 18 months. I think the rendering this scene in one go would've taken me a few weeks (on my old CAD Laptop). On my current CAD Machine it would take approx 3-6days.
