    Note: In real life the U12 and X24 have 3-throw crankshafts (pistons are 120 degrees apart) and the 42-cyl has a 6-throw crankshaft. Those are a bit complex to do with Lego so I used simpler 2-throw cranks (180 degrees). Thus firing orders are not correct in those engines. Also the 42-cyl Zvezda M503 was done with radial-6s instead of the real life radial-7s because I couldn't find proper Lego parts for connecting pistons to the crankshaft. The Sherman 6046 U12 engine gearing and phase offset between the shafts were unknown to me so I just guessed them to be 1:1 and 90 degrees. In other ways the models should be correct (hopefully). The V8 has a flat-plane crank that were used in Formula One engines. Lotus 46 H16 flat-plane crank, gearing and phase between the shafts should be correct according to the schema image I found (shown in the video). The U12 has both crankshafts rotating to the same direction as was explained in mapleleafup forum.

      @@spccadett I don't think high-cylinder-count engines are typically ran at higher RPMs anyways. There's so much torque going to the shaft already, it's more materials science than design engineering by that point. Ship engines are so massive, they use more cylinders because it's EASIER to get more power with LOWER RPMs that way.

      @daveolifent4477 Před rokem +10

      The biggest contributor to the sound would be the frequency with which it is happening. For example, a V6 engine running at 4,000rpm would have 24,000 explosions per minute, or 400 per second. So an output frequency (sound) of approximately 400Hz would be attributed to the internal combustion. Other frequencies that are mixed in with this frequency would be attributed to other variables, such as cylinder salience, engine vibration based on the torque moments, and imperfections in the engine balance, timing belt path etc. This video gives a good basic idea about different engine configurations, but is not accurate in terms of the cylinder timing (ie: angle offset and ignition timing of cylinders) as well as other variables such as crank angle, as well as the fact that engines use the cylinders to drive the camshaft, where as here he is using the camshaft to drive the cylinders.

      most of these were probably only 2 stroke, especially the aircraft ones but the tank engines are probably also 2 stroke diesels.

      That's why big engines mechanics are paid much more
      It takes a lot of care effort and fear to maintain big military vehicles, large race vehicles and big ships engines
      One loose screw or a bit too little/ much oiling and you have an expensive accident at best
