I like the sound of the 270 offset one myself, I'm kind of curious why it produced more power though. Either the uneven firing throws off the dyno while it's trying to measure average torque or there's something else that I don't understand haha. Either way, nice video!

[@lucid523]

The man the myth the legend

[@ForgottenMustard]

Thanks man! Maybe it has something to do with the ignition timing, or the cam timing. It is possible that I got it right on the 270 and they're a bit off on the other 2. I'm still on a steep learning curve with this sim haha.

[@TRJx86]

Runs like a V twin , Yamaha MT-07 has this configuration They do crossplane crankshaft to even out the power pulses heading to the rear wheel making it easier on the tire and better feedback afaik on the R1 yet similar comp ratios and volume conventional engines all make around the same power irl , so I think it's just a bit of a glitch

[@Kalimerakis]

@@TRJx86 actually the point of the crossplane is to make the power pulses *more* uneven, which makes it easier to control the closer the power peaks, the more they add up, inducing slip earlier the more time inbetween the pulses the more time for the tire to "catch" again in conclusion you get a wider limit range: you notice slip earlier and have more time/room to control it

Cool simulator. Neat to see the 270 degree sim since I just bought a Yamaha XSR700 with a 270 degree parallel twin.

[@harrytsang1501]

I've been wondering. What makes the sound in this simulator? The physics is math and that I understand, but what makes the sound? Combustion and movement doesn't have an inherit sound. Is it purely the change of pressure to air outside of the system?

[@francisjpk]

In a real engine, main sound comes from the openning of the exhaust valve. After combusting the air/fuel mixture, that gas mixture expands so much that when the exhaust valve opens, all the pressure accumulated in the cylinder is suddenly released. Other main cause of sound in an engine is air intake sound, its like the air generates friction against the intake ducts walls, causing sound

[@jwalster9412]

@@francisjpk does this application simulate exuast resonance and un equal and equal headers?

[@AngeTheGreat]

The change in pressure in the exhaust manifold (or primary tube) that happens when the exhaust valve is opened is sampled and then run through a basic filter (to simulate things like reverb in the exhaust system, resonance, etc.). That's pretty much it really

Triumph would have shot rge pistons into a low earth orbit if you revved it that hard though!.

Not sure, the HP calculator seems a little silly actually -- what "formula" even simulation even use for that? If it's a matter of intake/exhaust manifold pressures then the 360° firing order would probably stress those components the least. If it's a matter of pumping losses the obviously 180° has the least ; ) not to mention the best primary balance out of all of them too!

[@rcvg69420]

Ah the 180 is very familiar. I ride a CB500x and sure enough it basically sounds like that.

[@tactiletinkerer]

270 Inline Twin is basically the same as a 90-degree (cylinders) V-Twin -- same lope to idle and lo-rpm, and same benefits to output: no piston is coming to a stop at the same time as the other, so each can help the other maintain momentum thru the crankshaft -- freeing up power to get to the ground. Another benefit is the long interval between power pulses also helps you feel the limit of traction at the rear -- making them more forgiving to ride. My carbureted SV650S commuter in Seattle... if that wasn't the most forgiving track-prepped bike in the slop I ever owned. Could ride fine in conditions no liter Four (at least before IMUs and crossplane cranks) would dare show its face -- and the ferry was full of them, on their sides on Bainbridge Island (btw, if you commute in Seattle... Metzeler front and rear, or stainless pins in shins) ;)

[@megaman992]

See with the 360° offset it would solve a rocking couple, but I think it might cause a secondary imbalance problem that would have to be engineered out

[@trepanier01]

[@aggelosgedeon1405]

the 270 actually sounded more like a v-twin than an inline 2

[@danishazman6222]

A 270° inline twin (AKA parallel twin) closely represents the sound of a 90° V-twin. Some motorcycles use this instead of a V-Twin to reduce complexity & weight. The Yamaha MT-07 & Honda NC700/750 series uses this config.

[@InvidiousIgnoramus]

That's actually the goal. It's supposed to have a similar result to a 90 degree twin while being more compact and simple.

[@exothermal.sprocket]

The firing pulse timing exiting the tail pipe is the same exact pattern. 270-450-270-450. You can achieve this firing interval by separating crank pins 90° from each other, or you can achieve this firing interval by separating the cylinders at 90° from each other while sharing the same crank pin.

[@AntaresSQ01]

All things equal the 270 is ofc the best but 180s can be made to sound real nice too with some exhaust magic. Although these twins are a little under powered, I'd expect way more than 58bhp out of a 930cc twin, closed to 100-110 bhp instead

[@alexandruianu8432]

Cams and timings are car-like, not bike-like, so it doesn't make torque at high RPM.

[@anykeyh]

​@@alexandruianu8432 Cylinder dimensions probably, they are long course while on bike they are shorter. In this simulation, torque peaks at 5000rpm, and engine has basically no more power after 8000rpm, while on modern bike it's usually more about 7000rpm pushing strong until ignition breaker around 10'500rpm.

[@OldMotorcycleAdventures]

If anyone wants to hear a real life 360* twin, I uploaded 2 videos recently of my motorcycle. 1979 Kawasaki KZ750. The RPMs mine achieves are much less than what is shown in the video, but even the range mine gets to sounds a bit different than what the simulator sounds like. The same for the 180* twins, my wife used to have a ~1983 Suzuki GS450?, that was a 180*. Very different sound than the 360 and 270

[@philipph3421]

Great job on the engines!

[@3ch0_17]

180 sounds more Industrial/ work related. Like wood splitters, generators, etc. 270 sounds more like a Harley and 360 sounds more like race bikes or boats and planes

[@Puffie40]

The pony motors for Caterpillar diesels are 180-degree cranks, and the motors for the D7s and D8s are in-line twins (as opposed to the D6s, D4s, and D2s which were horizontally opposed) The old Two-cyilinder John Deeres were in-line twins with 180 degree cranks, but I don't know if their 'unique' sound was from the slow speed, their timing, or their rather ridiculous bore and stroke.

[@75HorseCase]

The John Deere 2 cylinders they ran fairly slow. I have a 720 diesel the rated rpm is around 1125 and the displacement is 6.2L. That engine dose not give up easily, it will start to lose oil pressure before stalling out. In general the Deere 2 cylinders had more torque/lugging power than a 4 cylinder tractor with similar horsepower. The sound is mostly form the slow rpm and cylinders firing next to each other.

There is a little bit of coding etiquette, but you do need to know the specific technical details of the engine. Playing around with the variable can be fun too, as it glitches out and does unexpected things. I had one attempt where the engine speed kept going to infinity, then the crank and piston just disappeared.
