V6 engines dominate Formula 1 right now, and the smallest F1 engines have ever really gone is four-cylinders. But Mike Fernie has had Cosworth digging around in their storage units to find not a triple, or a twin, but a SINGLE cylinder F1 mule engine, used to create the glorious 3.0-litre V10s of the early-2000s. Imagine what this thing would have sounded like at 20,000rpm! - Auta a dopravní prostředky

I accept they are special, but one can get more hp from a rotary in a smaller package.
Than again I have rotary engine (RE) bias.....braaaaaap. :)

For your Opel Kadet .
Go use a fiat 900cc 2 cylinder with 90 horsepower .
If you look for a smal engine .
Its use in the fiat panda cross.
That single cylinder 300cc, 90bhp, engine needs to go in a motorcycle!
It will not work as the interta of the engine would affect the handling
Exactly what I was thinking. It actually reminded me a bit of the single cylinder KTM bikes, especially the 390 Duke.
When aprilia was racing 250cc two strokes they were hitting 90 hp on the race track In the hands of valentino Rossi. Regarding vibration, wouldnt a balancing shaft do the job, like whats fitted In many motorcycle engines.
@@derf9465most modern race replica bikes (CBR, gsx, exc.) Have balance shafts, when you have any kind of unbalance at 15k it needs to be cancelled out or you would shake the bike to bits. I don't know if any singles have balance shafts, I think most of them do some crank shaft magic to cancel out any vibration
It van run at least 250 km then you need to dusassembly and check all.
Andrea pneumatic valves starting loosing air pressure, pistoni start to open in half and con rod are near to broken.
This was f1 in v10 era.
I always thought the Italians would be the last ones to keep the v12 torch burning. Love to see the folks at cozzie still care aswell.
And doing so whilst keeping within current emissions limits. Pretty significant achievement in an NA engine capable of 1000hp (or 640-ish for Gordon Murray's).
Am I the only person who reads “Cozzie” as “Coz-eh”?

20k RPM. That’s over 333 rotations a second. Insanely fast!
Yeah... that's why all high reving engine sound so nice
You wouldn't want that blowing up between your legs. 😅
like a musical instrument
The rotations aren't the limiting factor here, the limiting factor is piston speed combined with conrod/piston mass.
Unreliable

Will they survive the electrification of the world tho?
@@TheEryk03 They're already doing hybrids and fully electric engines so I would think so.
@@TheEryk03 Cosworth will be fine. Will the World survive electrification is the question.
In fairness they are in the main but have had some pretty dismal forrays into some road car projects as they we're unable to develop software to work with hardware they produced. Other companies picked the failures up and made them excellent.
The fact that 12-cylinder engines are considered as belonging to a different time is a travesty.
Well, when you've got 6 cylinder naturally aspirated cars making what old v8s made and v8s with turbos making far above what a 12 can, what's the point? They are a waste now, as beautiful as they sound and as smooth as they run, they are obsolete in a sense.
Not a different time just a differnet class
You are wrong and I will explain why. You can get high power numbers out of a small engine, but if you have a lower rpm, higher torque application, this necessitates a gearbox that adds weight. At a certain point, your small high rpm motor needs a gearbox so heavy that the specific power output of a multicylinder engine is better, since the multicylinder does not need a gearbox.
Legacy technology.
@@ConGie A V6 or I6 can easily do the job these days. Not to mention luxury car manufacturers are eyeing on EV tech
This single cylinder truly is "The Little Engine that Could".
We need those 3 cylidners fitted to smaller cars, smaller production cars......can you imagine?
oH Yes PLEASE!!!
Yes, they'd need an expensive service every 5000 miles.
Absolutely. Imagine a hot super mini with one of those under the bonnet?!?!

@@PixelisedPaul Hence why i said in PRODUCTION cars, they will no way live long with 20K rpms.
Back during WW2, Rolls-Royce and Ricardo developed the Merlin and Griffon engines using V twin and single cylinder test mules. Merlins were known to throw con rods at high revs. But the test mules never did. It was eventually realised the test V-twins used the full size oil pump - no worries. The pump was too small to feed the V12. Bigger oil pump and no more thrown con rods.
thank you for the information !
Not forgetting Ricardo’s single and V twin Sleeve valve 2 strokes used during RR Crecy development, giving incredible bhp/litre figures for the day and equally high HP/Lb weight figures
That single cylinder engine is pretty cool! I used to run junior dragsters and when you first start out you get a single cylinder engine. It’s a Craws Racing 3 1/2”.
I’ve done 280 passes on the engine. It’s roughly 70 HP. Seeing 90 out of a single cylinder isn’t very hard. What’s hard is making it last at that amount- and making it economically viable.
I can't help but remember the Cosworth V-6 Vega engine which was then turned into a 3 cylinder 850cc motorcycle engine for the German Police.. An incredible piece of engineering.
I've never heard of this and now I'm curious.
That single cylinder would make one heck of a go kart engine
Not with a 100 pound transmission to for the enormous gear reduction.
I actually don't think so.
In Karting we have 125 and 175cc 2-stroke engines with up to 50HP.
Most classes usually have around 30HP but that's not a problem when the engines weights less than 15Kg.
I think modern Kart engines don't rev more than 16.000rpm.
BUT, in a straight line, maybe it would be fast.
@@TucsonDude
He said 20.000rpm. Not 200.000rpm.
👍😅
@@Gean...de...Oliveira Nah. Regular go-cart engines run under 4000 rpm. Running at 20,000 rpm would require five times the gear teeth on the input gear...hence it would be significantly bigger.
@@TucsonDude
You are talking about rental karts, right ?
Because a proper racing kart usually rev up to 16.000rpm.

Hello mate, I'm Pete (diesel mechanic & enthusiast) just watching your vid and thought I'd add that while working for Scania Truck & Bus I had the opportunity to visit Scania's R&D department in Sodertalje, Sweden and was exposed the concept of creating 1 cylinder "mule" engines as part of the Proof of Concept phase of developing new engines &/or fuel systems. Before then I had no idea of that part of the process!!
Nice work on your vids!

That would probably triple the msrp

Napier engines did the same when designing the Sabre sleeve-valve,
they started with two cylinders, before moving onto 24.

Cant deny it, in an age and era of so much other madness going on in the world, stumbled across this from a subscription waaaaaay back and popped up for me to watch today.
What an absolutely lovely vid.
Reminded me of some other passions I used to have in life.
I am going to try to use as as a bit more of a platform to concentrate on more positive things in the coming year.
Thanks sooooo much.🙂🙂🙂
I put one of these on my lawnmower, what a life saver. Now I can cut all the yards in my whole neighborhood faster than I used to do my own. Same goes for my snowblower in the off season. Great little workhorse!
You too? Thought I was the only one. I also fitted one a pressure washed. Cleaned the house off, alright... righf off the foundation! XD
So the 1-cyl engine is essentially for a Kei car. Or actually, even a 2-cyl incarnation would still fit the 600ccm Kei car limit 😂😁 Send it to MCM 😋
Its an amazing thing, but as the Cosworth guy said, it would be pretty hopeless as a road car engine. Nothing that revs to 20,000 RPM is going to any useful work at less than 10,000 and will probably need 15,000 before it properly wakes up. Which is fine in a race, but a complete pain in the backside on the commute or going down the shops. In a road car it would be lumpy, gutless, and generally horrible.
I believe they also idle at 5000 rpm.
Probably not bad in a sport motorcycle, the lack of low end torque is fine, the packaging looks like a problem.....
Honda CBR250RR revs to 20,000, and that's a production street bike from the late 80s. Probably would not enjoy trying to push even a small car like Oliver around, but there *have* been successful conversions to put motorcycle engines in cars, so perhaps Oliver's dreams of revving higher than an F1 car could someday be reality... :D
That’s why these would be amazing in a hybrid setup.
@@JakeM218 come to think of it, have the EV part be the starter motor, then the engine can kick in later :D

@@Schmorgus yeah but….. do it for the science
@@Matt_10203 Oh, I never said "don't do it" 😏
Why not just use LS
interesting they never mention the inherent imbalance of the 3 and single cylinders. presumably the triple would need a balance shaft where as the V12 ultimately would not
I was wondering about that as well. Maybe they don't worry about the imbalance on the test mules... Go see if Driving 4 Answers will do a video for us!
Depends if you're talking about primary or secondary balance. There is a lot more involved when you start spinning things at that kind of rpm so they have 100% sorted it out one way or another.
My little C1/Aygo/107 1.0l engine revs to 6K and has no balance shaft. In some ways four cylinder inline engines have just as great vibration problems and quite a few have had to use balance shafts.
Single cylinder work is usually only really useful for things like head and combustion chamber work
If its designed as 120degrees pr piston balancing wouldnt be an issue i suppose. The 1 cylinder would most definately need a balance shaft, maybe thats why the engine is so big for such a small cylinder.
What is funny is that during the days of high-power piston aircraft engines they often made single-cylinder test mules.
In the modern day of computer simulation, it's almost a certainty that they don't do wild prototypes like that. Kind of too bad.
They should sell the 3 cylinders as crate motors. Imagine people stuffing them in miatas, MGs, and caterhams
What’s a caterham

This reminds me of when the Japanese motorbike manufacturers were fitting 250cc 4 cylinder engines that would rev to 20krpm back in the earls 90's.
They are back at it again, look at ZX25r. Well at least kawasaki is.
@Troy Mclore I doubt you will be able to make it road legal… sad, sad green world we live in..
The Honda 250 cc six cylinder bike that Mike Hailwood rode to a world championship would rev to 26,000 rpm on the bench. I raced 50 cc motorcycles that revved to 16,000 rpm and had no power below 14,000. Even with a nine speed gearbox the clutch took some stick starting and at tight corners like the Mallory Park hairpin. Great noise though!
@@waynepantry7023 I had one of those many years ago... it was fun when I was young but it did get tiresome very quickly... just sitting in highway traffic in 6th gear and its still doing 9000rpm+, great for low speed high rpm flybys and tunnels and surprisingly reliable considering how high it revved.
@@philipgrice1026 Yes! Shame the FIM limited cylinders and gears from 1968 (some say it was to allow European manufactures to remain competitive).. .Suzuki had a 3 cylinder 50cc with 14 gears RP68 ready but were not allowed to race it... very much like Hailwoods Honda 6 250, it would have been useless on the street... ultra narrow powerband with gear changes needed constantly to keep it in the power... still wonderful engineering.
More technical content like this! Fascinating stuff
A Mechanical Symphony in its finest forms ... thank you for sharing. Simply fabulous!
Now, THIS IS THE STUFF!! I don't care anymore about seeing 8-liter engines with 1,000+ hp in a production car. Big deal. I want to see 3 or 4-cylinder, 1 to 1.5-liter engines that produce 200 - 300+ hp, "normally aspirated" engines in production cars. THAT would be impressive!
I also agree whole heartily!
Take a motorcycle engine and put it in a car. Naturally aspirated, 1000cc four cylinder. 200-250hp sometimes 300. And high revs.
😂😂👍Absolutely loved the end when you were wheeling out that little beast. That really made my day, thank you. If you weren’t kidding, yes please make that happen! Really need to see that thing in a car.

Was it just me that was thinking someone would come rushing out shouting stop he is stealing our engine? Needs a couple of turbo's if fitting it to Oliver.
@@WhiteDieselShed Yes! And yes!😂
I thought it was super cool of cosworth to let him do that since that's a historic test engine
Make it happen, Oliver needs to live again.
Can we get more feedback from Bruce on what was happening back then. He's got a wealth of knowledge and some great engines to discuss
This single piston engine is everything we need as a range extender for electrical cars
If they could make it quiet enough sure!

Great episode, more like this please. I'd be interested in how they develop the bottom end when scaling up from 3 to 12 cylinders since the harmonic resonances and thus the stresses must be very different.
The v10 and v12s are inherently balanced, so no need to care about harmonics on the test engine, so if the test engine survives, you know the bigger ones will be even better.
My NC35 400cc V4 back in the 90's used to spin up to 14,000 RPM and met road emmisions with a normal carb system, that could easily be retro fitted onto an injector system to meet current regs
Honda spec was 75 Hp tuned
Honda were racing 250cc six cylinder motorcycles in the 1960's that would rev to 20,000!
@@FFVoyager All of the Japanese bike manufacturers had 250cc four cylinders in the late 80's into the 90's that were scratching 20K as well
Not race bikes mind you, cheap street bikes meant for new riders. They're still a fairly common sight as a first bike here in Australia.
Great vid Mike. Cosworth are legendary in the truest and most accurate sense of this much misused word.
That 3 cylinder Valk would be the perfect engine for my mini pickup. I didn't know Cosworth built that till now, I'm off on the info search now. Thanks will sub for this.
This looks like they could perfectly make an 800cc V4 that could fit into a trellis motorcycle frame
Great video 👌
However, I present to you the 90s Honda CBR250RR 4cyl motorcycle. It reliably revs to 18500rpm with occasional trips to 20k and will do so for well past 100,000km of riding, some as much as 200,000km 😳
Sure, it's half the power of the 1cyl Cosworth, but they were amazing!
My two oldest sons owned one and it was brilliant fun to ride 🙂

That single cylinder engine would be badass in a quad/atv!
It seems to fit better the frame of a motorcycle though.
Well Yamaha did it with a warrior 350 in the 80s or 90s. 75 horsepower from a .35 single cylinder. We have one that’s old and pretty much broken down. It still runs and my lord does it have some umph to it.
To be honest, modern 450 motocross/rally engines make 80hp+ quite easily and reliably so in the motorcycle world it’s not revolutionary.
My 800cc 2cylinder snowmobile makes 165hp. And is the size of that
Ever heard of 2 strokes
I'm amazed that a single cylinder engine that revs to 20,000 can even stay intact without falling apart. The vibrations must be a horrendous thing to experience.
I mean you can look at any high performance dirtbike, they rev out to 14,500 all day long without any issues. I can’t see another 5k being disastrous
Brushcutters have single cylinder engines that rev to 20 000 easily.
What would have really made me laugh at the end would have been a Security Guard yelling out " Oi what you got there!? "
Turboprops use a gearbox to reduce huge RPM from the engine to the propeller, some are capable to deal with 20k RPM easily, you guys could give a try using Oliver and this 1 cylinder engine.
True, you would need a reduction gearbox but it would work
For all the talk of putting one of those 3 cylinders in a hot hatch or something, I want to see a couple of them as a V-6. I mean, c’mon. A NA V-6 with 500hp, and revs to >10k? Yes, please.
Then put it in something lightweight and **relatively** affordable (as opposed to the cost of a T.50 or Valkyrie at least). Let someone that makes amazing sports cars like Lotus sort out the chassis, and you’d have an all-timer.
@@richardharrold9736 Great idea David, but I vote for the I6 iteration!
V6 hatchbacks existed
The engines just cost too much. If you assume the engines cost 10% of the sticker price which seems pretty reasonable. That's 200k for each engine. Even if you half that for a more mass produced v6 it's still an awful lot of money for a 3.25l v6. The average joe just can't pay for them
I remember back in the 1980's a friend had one of those cosworth Vegas GM built in the early 1970s. 4 cylinder dual overhead cam with mechanical fuel injection. Was pretty quick for something so small.
My first car when i go 18 was a sierra cosworth with stock 220hp, and since then i love cosis.
That single cylinder engine likely costs more than my entire neighborhood...

Cosworth, the mad scientists of engines.
I remember having to line bore the main bearing bores on the RJ engine when I worked in the prototype department. It took very careful setting up as the limit on size was only 8 microns. It was great to be involved if only in a small way. 🙂

No clue how they overcome valve floating over 13 14k
@@DDBmaster heavy valve springs
@@DDBmaster Ducati has created a system that would take care of that no problem. Forget what they call it but it opens and closes the valve mechanically with no spring.
Modern F1 engines actually use pneumatic "springs", but there's various ways to achieve a very high reving engine. Desmodromic valvetrain (the valve is energized on both the opening and closing strokes), fully pneumatic cam-less actuation, and of course just ultra-light valves, retainers, paired with super heavy springs. NASCAR engines in the early 2000s were able to rev to nearly 11,000 rpm despite being antiquated OHV monsters so it can happen
whats the point of high revs and HP? Just low rev with strong torque and it'd work on any gear ratio
Sell that 3 banger as a crate motor, i have a feeling those 3 pots are the best sounding engines on earth
Cosworth V-Twin, 550 CC, Yamaha 1982-3 Vision. Far ahead of its time.

I kinds wanna see a 1 cylinder crate engine for sell from them. It would be cool because if your building a lightweight track car this would end up being the crate engine of choice due to how much weight your saving with the engine and transmission together.
Mind blowing stuff! Best video I've seen this month!
It was a bit frustrating that the first 6 minutes and 50 seconds were spent on v12 car engines when what got me to click on the video was the 300cc single, but it was a great video regardless. What an awesome little engine!
Cosworth learned something from Honda as Honda engineers first benchmarked the single thumper found in Cubs/Dreams in the 1950s and later scaled-up the design for cars, lawnmowers, outboards, etc.
I was going to whine at them because Honda was approaching these numbers back in the 80s already on single cylinder pistons. For example, I have a 1984 XR500R dirt bike that makes 41HP at 6000 rpm. Given the rev and age differences, this cosworth just seems like a built version.

cosworth is amazing. Even the 4AGE is kinda referenced the cosworth BDA. Then the successor on the benz 190E evolution II 2.3-16 cosworth that i seen recently ran and sounded amazing. Really impressed because I studied engineering and my final year project was about engines too.

Back in the 90s, a mate of mine bought an ex Honda works 125 2/, it was a few years out of Moto GP but after a modest rebuild we had 54BHP on a dyno. I am sure if Cosworth wanted to, now they could do somewhat better than 90 from a 300 single.
It's like the Silvia Saint and Jenna Jameson room of engineering.
Had 3 cosworth in the day and they will always be special in my eyes.
