Engine Porn (beyond ... saturation)

[housew]

don't know how i didn't see this untill now. That's the 4cyl they put in the 904, with a 904 in the background

 

only 150hp from a 2 liter but that was pretty good for 1964, and it didn't weight anything. Good luck finding a real one today.

 

I have a replica 904 with a 6 cyl. Moar powar, more fun, and similar to fake tittys, still fun to look at (and play with) even if your know its not genuine.

 

all tucked in for the winter :(

and some beastiality porn of car motors

 

 

thats a quadcam masserati v6 set behind the front wheels and running more hydraulic pumps, assesories, shafts, and belts than any logical (non-french) engineer would ever put under a hood

[ericsb210]

That is odd looking. With this, one could make the case for a non-opening hood.

You're telling me there is a dohc V6 in that mess?

[housew]

haha, yea, in the back under the air cleaner.

 

Then it has a strange jack shaft sticking out the front to run the hydraulic pump for the brakes (yup, not a typo) the hydraulic pump for the suspension ride height, the power steering pump, ac compressor, and the alternator.

 

the steering rack is up high, in front of the motor, under the jack shaft.

 

moar oics

it would seem like the torque generated by the shaft would pull the bike to one side or the other, so running exactly counter to the reason the radial motor was developed.

I'm not certain about it, but I think the rotation would be perfect for the bike. Stabilizing in fact. Just like the wheels.

 

If it rotated with the shaft running front to back, like a legitimate car. It would have problems. I think that's accurate.

 

Boy, I sure hope I have sufficiently elicited your wrath. If not, simply explain. This topic interests me.

Radial powered everything!!!

the radial engine creates a moment aboot the shaft either pulling or pushing the whole rotating assembly depending on what your point of reference is. It was developed because pilots were crashing planes powered by a standard motor because the rotating assembly would pull to one side giving pilots a sort of oversteer on one side that could flip the plane and cause a crash. So if the radial was rotated ninety degrees it would avoid a similar problem in the bike. The torque may be too small to be of concern or they may just warn the driver.

I don't think you would help pilots not crash planes at all....

you got the first part right.

 

If you refute the physics you prove your statement doubly.

That statement is very hard to comprehend, you're not supposed to just find intelligent sounding words and make a sentence with them. And deleting is cheating buddy

[datzenmike]

A radial engine will torque just like a 'regular ' engine. It torques the oposite direction of rotation. In the bike picture it would try to rotat the front or rear of the bike up and over depending on rotation.

 

To conteract this torque a second engine can be run in the oposite direction.

 

 

 

 

This set up will definitely torque to the side, L or R depending on rotation direction.

 

[tr8er]

^thats what I'm thinking. The first bike example would potentially lift your front end at blastoff, but give great stability at high RPM and better rear traction.

If they had any balls, they would run the Gnome Radial! 

 

[q-tip]

I can't think of the name of it but there was a German motorcycle that the front wheel was a radial engine and the hub if the wheel was the center of the crank, preety crazy engineering.

 

Edit: Its called a megola

weaksauce hp rating or not, I think i'd use some bigger straps to hold that guy back.
