We take another crack at the transparent engine block. As for how it went - worse than we'd have hoped, but better than last time...

you know things are serious when Vlad FINALLY uses safety goggles.
For the first time in the entire channel. Lol
He wore a car seat belt in the other video...
i like how hes doing something that exploded last time and his reaction is not to do it remotely and hide its just put on a pair of shades hahaha king
that's fake news, they were photoshopped
Vlad doesn't even need safety squints
Vilad safety glasses has to wear safety glasses from Vilad 😂
All of this stuff really just makes you appreciate the amount of engineering needed to just create a working engine in the first place. It's just crazy to think the amount of things the engine needs to do at thousands of revolutions per minute for hours at a time and potentially for decades with severe temperature cycles and if anything goes even slightly wrong it's usually catastrophic. Like I can't even imagine how many times the camshaft needs to slap the valves open on like a 10 hour road trip
Or the fact my 1998 engine has drove a hundred miles a day for 25 years.
2 stroke.as.way more simple btw
It’s crazy I can’t imagine me driving in my car while all that is happening under the hood
@@ahmadabueshey6680 Just remember, your car is setting off explosions at a rate that would make a minigun develop issues.
@@whyjnot420 love the example
Holy crap! You got multiple runs out of it! The slow mo was A+!
Glad this one held up with reinforcement.
bro. i haven't watched the video yet.
@@str11pes don't look at comments while you watch!
Unless my comment was randomly showing right away, then I agree with you, sometimes the ending is spoiled before the video even starts.
@@volvo09 it's cool bro. people voted it to the second comment.
Holy crap he's wearing safety glasses this time.
The amount of work they put into this project just so we can watch how an engine runs on the inside for a couple of seconds before it cracks is amazing. Huge respect.
Absolutely...
I love the fact that you guys actually used a slo-mo camera!
I would love to see the machinist's face the first time you brought him in the clear block and said "Yeah, could you deck this please?"
It's their in house machinist, he is used to it and probably just said "ok" and went to work 😂
@@volvo09 Just another day for him LOL 🤣
My suggestions will be:
- retard the ignition a little bit
- insert some kind of mesh or fibers in the resin, especialy in the most stressfull parts of the engine block
Keep going, i am excited about this project ❤️
i had no patience for the next part where it started. Courious to see if just me jumped fast into comments? 😅
Best suggestions .. if not too much trouble , extend the block to reach the base plate so the rebar holds the whole
Lot In compression
i agree. it seems like cylinder 1 ignited a bit before TDC. Dial back the timing so that the cylinders ignite maybe 3 degrees after TDC.
Yep, lots of plastic these days is glass fiber reinforced for extra toughness and crack resistance.
Would that work kinda how rebar in cement works?
👏👏👏👏 that shot at 14:07 makes it all worth it. You guys should try a flat engine like a Subaru. So the stresses on the crankshaft don't push One direction. It pushes together rather than a part.
Another option to avoid cracks/heat damage may be to use borosilicate glass as the cylinder liners - the rest of the block could literally just be a skeleton similar to your rebar frame you used this time.
Use 2 stroke oil in the fuel.
Wouldn’t the 2 stroke cause it to run dirty.
I almost think the crack was due to the severe downward force on the crank main bearings, seems like it would crack horizontally right about where it did.
@@HobbyOrganist I think so too, could be overcome by using head bolts that extend right through the main bearing caps, possibly, with nuts underneath. The combustion pressure would be held by the tensile strength of the bolts, instead of the block. It may not be possible though, depending on how they are aligned
@@HobbyOrganist That and the engine skirt is unsupported. Adding extensions down to the plate to keep that area in compression would probably have avoided the cracking
@@biggestcomplainer no not remotely dirty. tcw3 synthetic outboard oil is perfect for this.
It’s actually finally been done! This has been a CZcams saga years in the making. Seen many clear running single cylinder, clear carburettor, even clear jet engines but a running 4cyl is a first
Week after week you guys produce amazing content, and the English narration is always brilliant too.
The slow Mo footage from this is top notch.
I remember your beautiful transparent and illuminated valve cover.
All the transparent parts of engines, transmissions, differentials, oil pans etc. make us understand the gas and liquid flow much better!
Thank you very much! 😃👍👍
This is actually an EXTREMELY good visualization of how much stress an engine goes under in just day-to-day operation. Never did I think THAT much force was being put into the crankshaft on a 4 cylinder engine.
Sometimes doing the most out of the box things teaches us the most about the world.
I say dp it again, but mold in a crank girdle made of steel and a 5-10mm plate around the top to bolt the head to. If linked together vertically with rods, you could possibly have an engine that could run a little(very little) longer. Maybe even hold some boost! My backyard engineering brain was going nuts during the assembly portion thinking of all that could have been reinforced while maintaining the clear appearance.
Great vid! Glad to have found you guys so long ago.
Instead of making the whole thing transparent with the crankshaft, Making only cylinders Transparent. add metal connection from the top deck (engine head) to bottom part (crankshaft ) making a tree piece part. That way the whole support will be on the metal connection between the head and crankshaft when combustion happens. This way only at TDC or combustion moment the glass will be loaded. Your current model is taking the whole load. from combustion to turning the crankshaft or rotating the crankshaft. It is the upward and downward pressure all together that's making the model cracking.
I agree! Make the oil pan and the part that holds the crank bearings out of aluminum, with very long bolts going through the acrylic cylinder jugs into the head. That way the jugs are always loaded in compression from top to bottom, and they don't take the sideways stress from the crank vibration, which is what caused the damage this time. The crank wanted to 'escape' sideways because of the force from the pistons.
this has actually been done before as this is how most motorcycle engines are built, separate crankcase, cylinder and head
Need to make the journals where the crankbolts are at immensely more thick.
these guys crack me up, they find ways of entertaining us
every single time. nice to see real people in a world gone to shit keeping smiles on faces
You an epoxy engine block or what?
Unreal footage and the amount of work that went in to making just a few seconds of it happening. You guys rock!!!
Vlad, you might be the first ones to do this with success . Awesome, you could see the firing order and everything . This DEFINITELY was a 107% success . The block cracked right off, But I was sure that would happen . Good idea about using the tall deck to enlarge the combustion chambers . You guys are awesome . :)
You guys are awesome. Can't have everything go right all the time. Still a 107 % really good video
That slow motion footage is so good!
I know it doesn't make sense since the resin won't transfer heat, but I'd love to see the oil and water arteries in work.
❤
nah, they dont have any galleries at all, its a mold
You guys have taken the automotive side of youtube and expanded it to great heights, I love the experiments very much, the wooden car, the see through motor and every thing else. Haven't seen another car channel like it, keep it up.
You have answered every man's thought what's it look like when a engine is working excellent and great job!❤
there is your answer , the crankshaft had to be secured to the bottom plate and not the resin , that way the load would be on the plate and not the resin !!
this is absolutely cool , im showing it to everyone i know !!!
also you can see the lubricating oil has burned away , take care to oil it again (the crankshaft)
This is a milestone guys, great work!
This is in the top 3 of the most amazing things I have seen on CZcams. Congrats !
So proud of the team! Congrats you guys. Vlads excitement was contagious, rarely you see him that excited.
good job, amazing to see the engine internals like that, up till now i have only seen flat head single cylinder engines with perspex heads.
This is insane. I'll be honest with you, the first video I expected the result and almost fell off my chair laughing. I expected the same here but you came up with a great solution that I was still skeptical about. My jaw dropped when it actually ran. Amazing work.
Holy cow, that's crazy ! 🎉🎉 Nice work !
Congratulations, i was one of the commenters that suggested to use a stud girdle internally or externally to brace the Head to the Mains on the 1st video. Really impressed to see it running. What to do with it. If it was mine, i'd turn it into a awesome looking Coffee table, with a transparent glass top. then it'd be the center of attention during brew and Lunch with the Garage 54 crew
Finally, I had no idea what the actual sequence was and how did the pistons move. All super clear now.
Wow guys, amazing job. It would be cool to see a fully transparent engine: block, head, pistons, crankshaft. But that is obviously very hard to pull off.
I think glass would work better given how hard it is - but you'd need to cast and temper/anneal/whatever it expertly!
You could also grind cross hatching into the cylinders that wont wear away easily!
though if you go with resin again, you can use a propane torch to pop the bubbles on the clear layer!
You may also want to add inserts or something for the threads, or maybe pass them through the block and secure them with a bolt!
oh you did that kind of
Welding too near to the block is not good for the epoxy!
Thank you BMI Russian for translating these videos for us. I know you're paid to do it, but you do it so well, trying to change your voice to ensure you can tell that a different person is speaking, spending hours looking at footage and having to record and do retakes, you're awesome man. I love these guys. Once again, thank you.
You look like the best father or grandpa, bless you, keep it up!
Would be crazy to rock up to a drift event and see a Lada with a fully transparent engine. Great job guys u nailed it!
Mold it again with some graphene in the resin👍 Make your own graphene with acetylene...
Love your work:)
Is it going to be transparent though?
Actually a good idea, carbon-carbon lubricantion
This is amazing. I think you could use the bottom part of an iron cast block and machine the cylinders out of a big chunk of acrylic or polycarbonate. Then you could use long head studs so they go through the transparent part and bolt into the cast iron block. That way it would last longer.
Wow, this is truly awesome! Easily one of the best ... if not THE best idea and execution so far! 👍
Notification SQUAD!!🔥🔥🔥
Absolutely bravo, amazing, you made a see through engine seriously this is share material, how lovely
Engineering of engines are just amazing. Great job Garage 54
All your hard work was worth it. That was Awesome.
Amazing results hats off to you for not giving up
Gods y'all are absolutely insane. I LOVE it!!
That was amazing, and your trials have been very impressive as well! You guys keep up the stellar work!
Absolutely amazing footage! Congratulations!
Omg I've dreamed of a see thru engine for years and finally seeing u do it ,I hope u achieve u badly,u wish I could u in some type of way achieve it
This is cool to see. I noticed that the 2 middle cylinders were firing at the same time at 1st but then they wouldn't fire at the same time as the engine ran. I'm guessing that the cracks lowered the compression of the 2 middle cylinders.
This is insane to watch. Well done all of you. It’s brilliant and tops off most what you have done
Wow! Fantastic work. You are taking your channel to a new level with the things you are trying and doing! EXCELLENT!
Thank you for this AMAZING FOOTAGE!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This should be trending on CZcams. First time I've seen an engine run that wasn't a simulation.
Awesome work guys, you're all great at what ya do, and thanks for sharing.
You guys have really outdone yourselves with this video.
I think this one should go viral.
Amazing achievement in creating that engine, all your hard work has paid off! Cheers from central Australia!
Sending Love & best wishes from the USA.
This is next level !
Congratulations guys Well done
Amazing work, bravo!!
You crazy psycos you actually did it🤣. This was awesome!!!
Congrats on getting this to run this time around! You guys are awesome!
Fantastic! Good work, nice job.
thank you So much for making So much effort to do this for us to watch. Yeah we knew what it might look like inside,,, But then when i actually SAW it,, was quite 'moving'!
This is my favorite video you've done yet!
Watching from Florida usa st Petersburg... Very well done, lots of good details and effort
If Frankenstein would have been a mechanic. You guys have done so many things with parts, engines, and cars over the last couple years I have learned much by watching you guys machine and build the craziest things no one else was brave enough to try. You guys are supremely talented to say the least.
A+ quality material!
Thank you for this guys!
You guys are absolute legends! Thanks for all the amazing projects and content you guys provide to us.
you lads have excelled yourselves with this one! watching it fire was epic!
Great job y'all. I love your videos and enthusiasm.
This is excellent work guys ,educational presentation of an internal combustion engine. you guys rock, kudos.
Well done chaps keep up the great work ..
Nice job guys. Good show.
That was visually satisfying. You should make a display peice for your shop for customers to see how the inside of an engine block looks like. Maybe a version 3 you could crank it by hand and see how it moves inside.
Genius process to show non technical people how the engine turns over. Absolutely brilliant. My hat off to you guys. Well done. Video was so informative 👍👍👍👍👌👌
Just a few vent cracks for all the blow by and she purrs like a kitten👍🏻
Nice! Great that it worked. Now I have another idea: square pistons. That way, you can make the cilinders out of flat plate material.
excellent work on making it run-able. really cool to see it in action.
Absolutely awesome. Definitely something I've always wanted to see, but never thought I would. Nice work guys.👍👍
Bravo guys. This was by far the coolest video iv seen of a transparent engine running. Especially a multiple cylinder engine ibnever new how they fired. Ubmean I knew the fire order but to see it make so much sense!! Great job!
Others have created flathead engines with transparent cylinder heads, but I never imagined someone could create a running engine with a transparent block! That's incredible! This also means it should be theoretically possible to make a fully transparent flathead engine, which would be some next level crazy stuff. Another thing to try could be installing transparent sleeves made of another material, for the sake of durability/heat resistance. Also, I think some engines have a separate crankcase which the cylinder bolts onto, so I imagine a design like that could help prevent the bottom from cracking.
Epic project, great work guys.
Really really good work guys!
That is an amazing experiment - Thank you so much for sharing it !
wow, you guys did it! did not think it was going to happen, thanks fellas!
Love this channel. These guys are awesome. They have done everything I never thought I would ever see.
Incredible well done, you can actually see the firing order 1,3,4,2 and how it actually combusts in each cylinder
Hello. Great video and idea!!!! Same but with a transparent cylinder head on top of the transparent block. So that we get to see the all combustion process and the exhaust gases as well!!
you can make the outside as one box shape... you only need the top and inside to be exact shape... you can use more material on the outside.
Wow that is so awesome. You guys are really good to watch. This video was so interesting to see inside a running engine. Well done 👏 👍
Y'all keep making all those clear Parts pretty soon y'all will have all clear parts to the engine I think y'all should make a all clear engine
Amazing stuff guys..
Great job! So glad you guys tried again and pulled out the W. Well done
AMAZING !!!!. Garage54 never dissapoints !!!!!!
this was amazing, im glad Garage 54 do what they do, everyone does learn a bit or two or see how stuff works,
Love to see this I always wondered how they looked inside the blocks ever since I rebuilt my own
That first ignition that cracked the block - it was either just before or right on tdc so the forces pushed straight down on the rod and the crankshaft pushed down, cracking the block. If it had been a few degrees past tdc, it might have worked without any cracking.
Great work!
