Why ONLY Ducati Uses This Part To Go Fast

Thanks to Morning Brew for sponsoring today’s video! Become smarter in 5 minutes by signing up for free today: cen.yt/mbdonutmedia
Nothing sounds cooler than a higher revving engine. An s2000 at 9000rpm, or a rotary engine at 10,000 are pretty sweet. But those are push-over numbers compared to what Ducati can do. In the 4cyl Panigale they're making 17,000rpm and they doing with technology from 1950s F1. It's called a Desmodromic Valve system. So how does this tech thats older than the consumer microwave out rev modern 4cyl in cars today? And why does no one else use it? Today on B2B we're gonna find out!
We'd like to thank our friends at Ducati for their help with this episode.

"Poppet valves" are the correct term for *all* engine valves in the familiar shape, not just the ones used in desmodromic engines. (It's more commonly used in British English, but it applies to all valves of that shape).

Dead right! I was wondering when someone would point that out. I'm surprised that someone creating an automotive channel would not know that. There are at least three types of valves- poppet, rotary and sleeve valves.

Yeah, yeah, and if the producers were worried about being technically correct, the discussion would be based upon Oscillation, not "revolutions per minute" and mass.

"Why doesn't anyone else use desmo valves?" Two reasons. A: It's expensive to service and more complex, nobody wants to work on it and nobody wants to pay for that work And B: The Japanese manufacturers already pulled off 19,000 RPM with standard valvetrains... in the 80's... and those bikes are still running to this day The better question is why Ducati bothers

[@MB3Drift]

That’s the perfect answer explained in a few lines. Nothing more to add.

[@uhtred7860]

Yep, i owned a 1990 ZXR250R that had a 19,000 rev limit, it was boringly reliable despite getting the living shit thrashed out of it. The guy i sold it to still owns and rides it, never had a problem. Hondas RC148 125cc five and RC115 50cc twin from the 1960s Gran Prix years revved to 21,000 rpm on standard valve train.

[@driveslow48]

because they are are a jack of all trades, but master of none. flex fuel is mandatory in here in brazil, the cars can chug anything, but they lose some power/efficiency that they could have if the engine was specialized to a single fuel

[@Cavemanner]

Because your Cummins gets 25-40%(year dependant) thermal efficiency on diesel by being specialized, whereas flex fuel engines can vary as wildly as 4-30% depending on what you put in it.

[@InsaneBimmer]

Because you have to fold your mirrors down first. Pro tip.

[@raffikkiz]

One of the biggest problems as mentioned above is thermal. Ethanol burns with less heat. That means less energy. If you don't mind, you can actually convert most vehicles. It just isn't worth your many. If anything, it's a waste. The biggest issue is gaskets and hoses. Flex fuel vehicles have special rubber that can handle the gas/ethanol mix without being deteriorated.

Interesting definitions of poppet valve and valve float. Poppet refers to the sealing part of the valve, which is the same in both designs shown. As for float, the valve does not always close at the same speed, but rather the spring should keep the system under tension until the valve is fully closed. If the valve cannot close as fast as the lobe retreats, that's float.

Awesome video as always but just a minor point, desmo valves are poppet valves just like normal valves. A poppet is just a valve actuated via a stem. The lighter valves are down to material and construction advancements.

[@jnmason6283]

Many of the "problems" you mention are related to early Desmo engines. Latest Ducati engine have valve service intervals similar to most other sport bikes (12 000 - 15 000 ish miles). DLC coatings and modern metallurgy for the rockers and cams help alot and the keeper springs also reduce the slapping from the return cam. Also, the sliding friction from the return rocker is still much less than the opening friction from a high-rate valvespring. And alsooo... all these engines use poppet valves. That's what they are called. Not just on Desmo engines. On a side note, the 11 000 RPM Cosworth V12 in the Valkyrie has 6 000 mile valve clearance checks, same as Pagani's new 9 000 RPM V12R. I'm guessing the 12 000 RPM Cosworth V12 in the GMA T50 will be similar. They also use geartrains to drive the cams, so NVH is low on the list. I'd love to see Desmo tried on a high-end high-revving NA supercar, just for the hell of it.

[@ronmatson5502]

0:09 "desmo stan" love it,third time I've watched and just seeing that

[@Wrathlon]

My questions are: a) Could you get rid of the sliding friction with a roller bearing/roller rocker in that spot? 12:00 b) Could a spring be used to cushion/reduce the closing force of the valve at the last minute? Sure it'd add a small amount of spring tension to the system but surely itd be no more than you lose from the violent slapping of the valve... Elaborating on b) The valve stem could be a small collapsed spring inside the tube - when opening it would act as a solid stem and push the valve down just the same but on pulling up it would stretch the spring. If the spring rate was set just right could it be balanced so that the force required to pull the valve up is low enough that the spring barely gives but when it contacts the seat the slight increase in pressure causes the spring to give resulting in a softer landing. It also wouldnt have the issues of a traditional spring system as the mechanical push/pull would be providing the same function as the spring pulling back so the springs speed would be irrelevant at higher RPM and at lower RPM any lost momentum from pulling on the spring would be regained when the spring pulled back "assisting" the assembly on the next opening event. You could even have the valve be a normal valve but have a second seat inside the valve guide and have it act on that one.

[@richardsimons5771]

Most Ducatis built for street use have small torsion springs on each valve to aid in closing at low engine speeds.

Ducati with the Desmo and dry clutch sound good but are a real pain in neck to maintain.

[@willl84]

"17,000 rpms!" Laughs in Yamaha. The R6 does 16,500 WITHOUT desmo 🤣

[@TheRandomMichael]

Back in like 05 or 06, I didn't know anything about bikes but wanted a R6 just because it revs to the moon. If I actually had the money back then who's to say I would be here today because the guy at the bike told me it didn't matter what you get as a 1st bike because you get used to it fast.

[@sillapopulares]

it's still a smaller displacement

[@penecactus]

In the 90's there were a few I4 250 ccs motorcycles that revved to 20K rpms, like the honda cbr250rr.

[@kyzer97320]

@@sillapopulares In this case it have nothing to do with displacement. It can be a limiting factor, but even on a smaller engine the valves still have to do the same job. In the video it's about valves.

Still a mystery how yama can make so many horses so boring.

[@robertcolmenares9241]

glad donut is getting more into moto stuff

[@peteralleyman1945]

You totally missed the point that Ducati had to stick to the desmo technology because of their adherence to 2 cylinder design (until recently...). A 4 cylinder equivalent has much smaller and more light weight valves and consequently less inertia and doesn't need desmo's to rev the engine sufficiently to squeeze out the desired power.

[@rodrigogutierrezreyes4702]

@Lassi Kinnunen 81 oh I understand your point. I've had a CBR1000RR engine in mind too, just cause I think Busas have been used too much. I've thought about getting with a workshop and design a V8 CBR engine, just like the V8 Busa on the Atom. I don't know, we'll see. But thanks for the input, I appreciate it

It's sad but inevitable. Too many consumers that demand constant change/improvements in this modern age. Nobody is interested in challenges. Also, many are financially inept and as a result have no time for solving mechanical issues since they're constantly working.
