TOP 10 Homemade ENGINES

[@davidrayner9832]

I was walking along in Tom Price, Western Australia just minding my business and came upon the #1 engine on a trailer hooked up to a Land Rover Discovery. I like radial engines so I went over to take a look. When I got close, I could see the cylinders and heads were off a Honda XR-600 (I used to own two of those). These have 4 radially-disposed valves and to actuate them, 8 rocker arms each. The owner works as a fitter machinist for a mining company and I'll bet he made most of it at work. He says he sometimes takes it out and uses it to push his Land Rover along (with a throttle cable from the cabin). Absolutely amazing.

love how the engine at 4:58 'the flying millyard' Is spitting flames straight from the header to a petrol can lol.

[@3RTracing]

it would be a much better video had you allowed the viewer to hear each engine for 5 to 10 seconds, instead of talking over the running of many.

[@terapode]

Exactly...

[@odi_de_podi]

You should checkout the description.

[@joecarnes9174]

Yeah too much yappitty yap

[@shanehnorman]

Excellent selection - although I wouldn't have said that if it had excluded an entry from the shed of Allen Millyard. His V12 Kawasaki 2300 is so good it's in an American museum, but the big vee-twin is certainly a contender.

[@pjc.544]

By far Mr. Patelo the retired navy man has got to be the most impressive motor this far. his video stand alone is absolutely incredibly jaw dropping amazing. showing his fine skill sets of one tenth or less scale machining and old world calibration / measurements with good old fashion lifelong know how and aptitude. the w-32 is a beast of a mini v-12 and is worthy of a title itself in all fairness to the others however this is a well researched and very tough compilation to come up with but my vote is for the miniature w-32 at the 2;15 sec. time mark. kudos to the compiling of this video is it had to be a very tough editing and voting system ,as always thankyou for sharing

[@brandysigmon9066]

PJ C. The w32 is a great design and build but it doesn't run on its own it needs compressed air to turn it. That makes it impractical

[@andersforsgren3806]

@@brandysigmon9066 It's not made to be practical in any way, it's a hobby project - advanced one. And a piece of art, as the narrator said it might end up in a museum, and if not - it would be a pride item for the technology display in any school or univ.

[@zindy29]

I'm a machinist and I agree with you, he designed and made every part and smaller engines are far harder to manufacture.

[@Rowrowthegravyboat]

The guy that made the smaller radial, didn’t use AirPlane parts, he salvaged the headers off old air cooled VWs

[@Guitar101Smasher]

Allen Millyard is by far the best shed mechanic going. If you haven't seen his channel I'd highly recommend it!

[@supertramp6011]

He is incredibly impressive,but let’s give credit to all the other builders here too,every one of them is very,very impressive,and way ahead of my capabilities. I just love the dedication,skill and enthusiasm which goes into each and every one. Well done to ALL you guys!👌

[@rotax636nut5]

Alan Millyard is crazy but in the best possible way bless him!

[@oldlongfellow4178]

4:43 i saw the Flying Millyard motorbike at the Isle of man Manx TT in 2017 and holy shit you feel the budbudbudbudbuda in your chest even from 30ft away

[@rashidminhasbhatti9618]

Beautiful video and work

[@kasperkjrsgaard1447]

In “The Flying Millyard” Allen Millyard even constructed his own carburettors as he couldn’t find any big enough.

[@wiscgaloot]

I would have liked to see the Britten V1000 motorcycle engine in this list. It meets the qualifications, John Britten made the entire engine and the entire motorcycle too, in his home workshop.

[@curtisbarker5657]

Don't forget garage54’s straight 16 Consisting of Four Lada engines crudely welded together Like a centipede. I am thinking you didn't like the chaotic design of the dopplestern engine

[@harleyme3163]

he copyed a Pratt & Whitney R-4360-35 Wasp Major, 4-Row, Radial 28 cylinder. nothing spectacular about something thats already been done..

[@rotax636nut5]

A poor selection of the many thousands of truly incredible home built engines out there

[@rokitman5753]

very good job on the vid. i can watch these all evening : )

you talk to much. let the engines speak for themselves!

[@MienTayTiVi]

Super talent

[@joshfoley8862]

That 32 cylinder is just fantastic.

[@Dave5843-d9m]

These are super talented people. The next one should be an X format radial two stroke. There is no crank case compression so would need Reed valves and a small blower for starting. Incorporate direct injection and it will run very clean.

#3 the seven cylinder radial is made with VW cylinders and heads.

[@XL3BIGDrizzy]

I had an idea for a 16cyl radial engine when I was young. Glad to see someone smarter than me thought about something similar

[@noahwail2444]

Having an even number of cylinders in a radial, is a bad idea, due to ballance.

[@ghostmanwayne1510]

Cool vid

[@phil955i]

No.8 is neither a "Victoria" or "44 cubic inches" ...it's a Victory & is 44cc (cubic centimetres)

[@gojaneb]

I knew that ...but he be American

[@NoPulseForRussians]

They need to build full size truck scale W32's. What an ingenious idea. 😲

[@harrystevens3885]

The motorcycle (Millyard) my favorite ,just a beautiful .

[@alphagt62]

The engine was beautiful! But the bike? I don’t know about that seat all the way in the back? Looks cool, but may be weird to ride.

[@emasPetualang230]

I like it, verry nice Creative bosss

[@RickSanchez-jr1ef]

That patello engine is badass

[@steadfasttherenowned2460]

Why does that mini v10 look so wobbly and distorted?

[@dkjens0705]

A bit misleading info about that #1 engine. Cylinders or rather individual engines are arranged in a radial configuration but each individual engine is just tied together with a transmission and the output shaft is just that and not a crankshaft. And it wasn't shown running. Hardly material for a #1 engine.

[@paspax]

Allen Millyard is a pure mad genius.

[@philipfry5859]

All engines are mans ingenuity. Always interesting, to me .take brains and skills to design and build. Good stuff.. J

[@Tech_Planet]

Thanks, I missed a lot of engines so I will make another video soon. Quite a few engine videos coming up soon. Thanks for watching!

[@aveoxus1139]

This is a good idea for your future engine videos. Instead of having the engine on mute as you're talking about it, make the volume about 30-50%. After each description turn the volume up to near 100%. Kind of let the engine speak for itself

[@danbygrace1]

Thanks for sharing this hope you make lots more....

[@lukefreeman828]

Just a small point @1:56 when you say "might be considered a motor", motors ARE engines.

[@lukefreeman828]

​@Andrew Manche Lol, I think you need to learn facts first. The definition of an engine is "a machine with moving parts that converts power into motion". The definition has NOTHING to do with "fuel". Waiting for your apology and self-correction :)

[@lukefreeman828]

@Andrew Manche You are literally still wrong. An engine isn't anything to do with fuel. It might be in your sector specifically but that is NOT the only definition. For example, their are entirely mathematical 'engines', physics 'engines' etc. These things adhere to the ACTUAL DEFINITION that I gave you, you know, the accepted standard definition of the word, not just something I've assumed/applied to the field I supposedly work in. Tbh, if you really DID work in those fields of engineering you'd have the understanding that the definition you are asserting isn't the only definition at all. If you could provide a source where your definition is given in academic material etc. I'll provide ten for you where mine is. Have a nice day ;)

[@lukefreeman828]

@Andrew Manche Judging by the way you repeat yourself and the language you use, you are no older than 15. A motor is "a machine, especially one powered by electricity or internal combustion, that supplies motive power for a vehicle or for another device with moving parts" An engine is the LESS specific definition of "a machine with moving parts that converts power into motion". Here's several sources; en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/engine www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/engine (definition 4) www.dictionary.com/browse/engine (definition 4) www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/engine Now please stop replying if you're going to continue to use the phrase "parrot" and if you're going to continue to make yourself look rather daft with silly statements and Ad Hominem arguments.

[@lukefreeman828]

@Andrew Manche okay, I'll stick to the actual definition and you stick to your made up definition (for which you have still provided no source for) and your made-up degree and made-up forty years of experience. If you really had a degree you'd be much less reluctant to provide a credible source for anything, you'd use much more mature language and be willing to explain yourself clearly and how definitions have multiple meanings, often specific to a field within which one is working (you'd have made that point yourself if you'd actually bothered to follow up on any of those links I posted). You allege that you are roughly 61 years old (18+3 year degree + 40 years of 'practical experience') and all you have managed to do here is embarrass yourself - if you really are that age, stop acting like an immature and particularly dense moron. Honestly, if your children (assuming you have any) could see your posts, they'd be utterly ashamed of the way you have acted.

[@lukefreeman828]

@Andrew Manche Again, you've not addressed anything I've said in my comments. Utterly embarrassing yourself.

[@kevinaustin5342]

Too bad the presenter fails at pronouncing simple English words: "Inset" instead of insert, "Victoria" instead of victory. Also, the 7-cylinder engine did not have aero cylinder heads... they were cut-down VW cylinder heads.

[@OliverDYork]

Pickey Pickey.

[@lebommjohnson8101]

All very inneresting, but would like to have gotten more technical info on each engine.

[@shapes9495]

that home made stitched radial in the thumbnail is straight out of hell

[@dylanlockler1039]

I would say a pretty good video, especially since there is no clickbate.

[@pat8988]

Considering that the Millyard V-twin is mounted in a usable functional vehicle that has driven thousands of miles, I'd say that it should be #1. Don't get me wrong, the others are wonderful machines, but are they anything other than just an engineering exercise?

[@amoeb81]

"You can build an engine almost out of anything" - yeah right.... it doesn't hut though if you happen to have a lathe..

[@ronalddaub5049]

I've started on a 2-stroke engine but I've installed a 4-stroke head and I'm working on the valve train

[@billjarv]

its 44 cubic inches!! I don't thinks so...that would be relatively large.just over 760cc... It's 44cc much smaller at just over 2.5 cubic inches

[@somenygaard]

Exactly.. .looks like I wasted time writing a response you took care of already Mr. Jarvis.

Nothing... They're just Curiosities. I would think they built them just to show that they could.

[@paulwatkins2601]

[@boeingbetty24jettonlousie85]

The beast is powerful

[@MultiShultz]

So I'm working on a V8 similar to that "Victory 44" and wanted to know where do you find those spark plugs as well as timing chains small enough for it? I heard "RC engine" but any specific places? So far I'm basing my engine off of my 99 Dodge Ram 318 that I rebuilt and took measurements of every part so I'm practically rebuilding that engine in solidworks to re-scale it to a miniature version.

[@bartgoins1782]

It's actually a Victory 44, not Victoria 44 as he called.

[@MultiShultz]

Oh wow... I definitely typed what I heard on that one.

[@allastname9143]

It depends on the scale you want. You can purchase very small spark plugs but I prefer to make my own with 6mm threads. It's not overly difficult. For timing, stay away from chains unless you're looking around 1/4 scale or larger. For miniature stuff either timing belts & pulleys can be purchased, or (as I prefer to do) use gear drives where you can make your own gears to the size and style you desire. My current project is a V4 with slightly less than 10cc displacement. Hoping to be finished this coming January (I started building it 3 years ago). Good luck.

[@ShiroArctic]

The number two spot proves once again that Allan Millyard is an absolute madman. I don't think there's a single engine layout out there that he can't make run somehow. He is a crazy engine builder, and the whole automotive community is better for it.

[@Babypuppi3]

Number 7 is awsome

[@mny-patentcatalog681]

well done

[@RalphHuntington]

Would really have liked to see the 18-cyl one that missed the cut near the end. Much more interesting than the 9-cyl.

[@jamesellett617]

Have personally seen and heard Russels 9 cylinder radial running. That man is a genius. Would love to see the bigger one.

[@PotentialAutist42069]

next i wanna see a 5 or 7cyl radial made out of Briggs and Stratton 5hp lawn mower engines

[@CrusaderSports250]

With side valves, better still a rotary with side valves, lunacy, absolute lunacy but would be good to see😊.

[@gilbertoortiz6526]

Buen video

[@Pdfflyer1]

I'm interested in acquiring a VG30 Nissan Infinity V12 Engine arrangement. Or. doubling the number of V6 Cylinders using a V-Twin piston engine with each connecting rod powering 2 cylinders like the originally designed turbocharged locomotive V12 engines. Where the crankshaft has a 6 cylinder crankshaft which doubles the no. of cylinder by each connecting rod powering 2 cylinders. This combines the configuration of a V 60 degree engine, with the configuration of a boxer layout underneath. The original F.I. Engine computer runs and fires 2 cylinders simultaneously.

[@williamvolkmann8658]

why wouldnt the sterling 8 be a flat radial

[@paulwilton735]

Another engine is comming soon. Remember the name MAG-E.

[@laszlosz5383]

No Britten?

[@omicron0mega]

Victory not Victoria, proof reading is your friend.

[@brucerogermorgan2388]

Number 8, the Victory 44, is 44 Cubic Centimeters, not Cubic inches. There's a very big difference, at 16.4cc to 1ci!

[@Oomuu]

[@dusk6460]

At approx. 1:14 you say "one of the smallest engines ever built is 44 cubic inches" ... what you meant to say was "one of the smallest V8 engines ever built is 44 cubic centimeters (less than three cubic inches)". literally millions of engines have been built under 44 CID, and even many tens of thousands under 44cc's but few V8's under 44cc's.

[@masterSe7en77]

You're crazy man, #1 should've been the v10 efi engine, did you know the incredibly talented creator of that engine literally handmade everything the alternator, oil pump, everything, not to mention the fact that it requires an ECM to run it and can be used for data logging and tuning! Seriously that guy is talented, you know what kind of knowledge it takes to make the firing order correct, cutting the cams and crankshaft correctly...but you put a pieced together motorcycle engine as #1?? That's bad...you don't know how to properly rank these things lol

[@philjohn1513]

Powertek did it with hayabusa heads, powering the radical, I did actually look at buying one when I was in the custom business, boss was keen aswell as it has a load baring block. We knew it was going to be expensive, but at the time £50k (ten years ago at a guess) very very short life and extremely short service intervals was not justifiable
