X-22 Engine MOC

[JohannesESTONIA]

Forget you R, V or Boxer engines. This is the future, a very powerful engine, where the thrust is divided evenly on the crankshaft. And plus, it has 28 cylinders...

Where do you want to use this MONSTER? :laugh:

PS: it seems your engine has 28 cylinders... extended version?

I'll try to build a Trial Truck of some sort to fit it on :D

P.S of course it has 28 cylinders, I don't know, why I wrote 22 :D Maybe I had a stroke or something :D

Nice engine! Erik Leppen's Bughatti has an engine in a similar configuration, except it is a Y instead of an X. The only problem with such a configuration, learned by radial aircraft engine designers long ago, is that the inverted cylinders burn a tremendous amount of oil because the crankcase drains right onto them.

Be great in a replacement for the 8457 power puller.

looks like a basic redial engine to me. doubt its the future of engines but still interesting. wonder if a pneumatic version could be done...

Yeah, I also saw this engine, it's also a cool configuration.

Challenge accepted, I will build a power puller with this engine ;)

Yeah, it pretty much is a basic radial engine, just 4 of them put together. And I'm sure, that this isn't the future, put it's still cool to think :D Hmm, a pneumatic engine would be awesome... Anyone up to it?

[Thirdwigg]

Very cool.

[Boxerlego]

Awesome work, that is one massive engine. The future for engines is when you can fill up your tank with water.

Maybe a tatra? It is long enough.

[Rockbrick]

Tatra only had up to an aircooled V12 engine....

I've just seen that you've chosen to build a power puller after my suggestion.

I'm chuffed and can't wait to see the result.

Looks good!

The engine reminds me of some of the old X-engines from years ago, like this 24 cylinder Allison:

Pretty neat engines, and pretty different from the radials as well.

BTW, still building that Power Puller

Looking good so far. Eagerly awaiting completion.

Well, the Power Puller is finished. Maybe it didn´t turn out the greatest, but it works and pulls ;)

[grum64]

OMG! It's a beast!

Given the short time you've had to build this I think you've done a brilliant job. Any chance of a video?

Thanks

And, already working on the video

[JohannesESTONIA]

As promised, here`s the video

Hide yo kids hide yo wife, the machine with the biggest engine you´ll ever see is here. And it`s not pleased.
