The See-Through Engine: A Journey of Trial and Error

As I stood before my latest project, a see-through engine that promised to reveal its inner workings like never before, I couldn't help but feel a mix of excitement and trepidation. The engine had been designed with an innovative approach, one that would allow me to showcase the inner machinations of this unusual machine. But, as is often the case with experimental projects, nothing went according to plan.

The engine started up and I was eager to see if it would run smoothly. However, my enthusiasm was short-lived as I quickly realized that something wasn't quite right. The glow plugs were on, but instead of a gentle hum, the engine let out a loud sizzle. It seemed that fuel was leaking out of the carburetor, and I was forced to shut it down before it caused any further damage.

I couldn't help but wonder what had gone wrong. Had I misjudged the timing? Was there a problem with the air-fuel mixture? As I pondered these questions, I decided to swap out the block for another one, hoping that this would resolve the issue. But, alas, it seemed that even the new block was not immune to the engine's woes.

As I continued to tinker with the engine, I began to realize just how fragile it was. The pistons were stuck together, a result of the high-pressure fuel injection system. It was clear that this engine had been designed with speed in mind, but at what cost? The lack of compression and explosion meant that there was no power being generated, only a dull hum.

Despite my best efforts, I couldn't seem to get the engine running smoothly. That was, until I decided to take things to the next level. I added an oxygen acetylene mixture to the system, hoping to create a more explosive mixture. And, as if by magic, the engine suddenly roared to life.

But, my joy was short-lived. The engine sputtered and stalled, only to be revived once again by the acetylene injection. It was clear that this was a delicate balance, one that required precise control. As I continued to experiment with the system, I couldn't help but feel a sense of awe at the complexity of it all.

And then, just as I thought things were starting to come together, disaster struck. The crankshaft, which had been the weakest point in the engine, suddenly broke in half. It was a catastrophic failure, one that left me stunned and speechless. The stars, or rather the piston rings, seemed to be burning inside those cylinders, creating a display of fiery chaos.

As I stood there, watching the flames dance across the cylinder head, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride at what we had accomplished. It may not have been the most elegant solution, but it was certainly an interesting one. And as I looked over at my trusty sidekick, who had been waiting patiently for me to finish, I knew that this was just the beginning.

The see-through engine, once a mere curiosity, had become something much more. It had become a tool for innovation, a means by which we could push the boundaries of what is possible. And as I looked out at the wreckage of my latest experiment, I couldn't help but wonder what other secrets this engine held. Would it be able to withstand the rigors of prolonged use? Or would it continue to break down, its fragile components succumbing to the pressures of time and use?

Only one way to find out.

I decided to fill up the crankcase with oil, hoping that this would provide some stability to the engine. And, as if by magic, the engine suddenly roared back to life. It was a little rough around the edges, but it seemed to be running smoothly. I couldn't believe my eyes - we had actually done it.

But, just as things were starting to look up, disaster struck once again. The oil pan gasket failed, and oil began to leak out onto the workbench. It was a minor setback, but one that reminded me of the fragility of this engine.

Despite these setbacks, I remained determined to see this project through to its conclusion. And so, with a newfound sense of purpose, I set about testing the limits of my see-through engine. I added an oxygen acetylene mixture, hoping to create an explosion that would reveal the inner workings of this machine. And, as if by design, the engine suddenly roared back to life.

This time, however, something was different. The engine seemed to be running smoothly, its pistons moving in perfect synchrony. It was a moment of pure magic, one that I will never forget. As I looked on in awe, the stars began to burn inside those cylinders, creating a display of fiery chaos that left me breathless.

It was clear that this engine had been designed for just one purpose - to push the boundaries of what is possible. And as I stood there, watching the flames dance across the cylinder head, I knew that we had achieved something truly remarkable. The see-through engine may have started out as a mere curiosity, but it had become something much more - a symbol of innovation and ingenuity.

And so, as I packed up my tools and said goodbye to this latest experiment, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride at what we had accomplished. It was just the beginning, and I knew that there were many more adventures waiting in the wings.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enI'm back with another see through engine video this time I'm going to build a see- through 4-cylinder engine that runs based off of this little mini engine right here which everybody loved in the previous videos it's going to be so cool if I can make this work and I think I know exactly how I'm going to do it I'm all done this is how it came out I think it looks pretty good this is a lot more work than I thought it was going to be this was literally days and days of Machining but looks like a see- through 4-cylinder engine to me sort of reminds me of uh ice sculpture I think it looks pretty and I based this block design off of the l400 which was a beast in the previous video it was such a beast that it broke the crankshaft check that out I'm going to use all of the parts from this engine and put them inside of the see-through engine started up and I don't see any reason shouldn't run and I'm really curious to see how this is going to look check that out man that's perfect hopefully I got the timing right I hear compression oh it actually worked glow plugs are on got fuel leaking out of the carburetor let me start it up and see if this thing actually works oh there it goes uhoh that didn't sound good here's something sizzling on this think that's the fuel on the starter at least I know it works oh oh this thing idles at like 5,000 RPM uh-oh oh no it locked up already well let me swap that out with another block maybe put a set of headers on there and try it again I think my header came out pretty good and hopefully this time it runs more than a couple of seconds and I'm going to do one more thing I've been curious about these engines in particular don't use oil in the crank case since they get the oil from the fuel but I always wondered what would happen if if you fill up one of these with oil and I don't know why they don't come with oil in the first place I don't see it doing any harm if anything it might Splash up into cylinders and keep it cool and keep the thing running a little bit longer this time I'm going to fill it up with oil that works actually I think that looks pretty good that looks great start it up and try it again man all that oil is all over the table now here we go oh that actually want it to start up right away a man that burns my eyes I think the oil and the crank case made a big difference because it just ran a lot smoother sounded better and it didn't heat up as much I'm going to put an oil pan gasket in place then I'm going to fill up this crank case about halfway with oil I want this thing to at least survive long enough where we could see something crazy happen and not just have the thing lock up I think it's going to survive that's wild I didn't even do anything it started right up seemed a little bit better it's still turning man I don't even know where all that's coming from it looks like that block a shot has a ton of blowby if you look at the highspeed footage you can see all of that blowby going right past the Pistons that makes sense no compression no explosion no power let me Swap this block and then I'm going to do it one more time oh man that's not looking good no wonder why it has no compression half of the cylinder wall is missing that makes more sense now those Pistons are stuck oh with the old and with the new this is the last one that's it going for broke okay I got the new block set up cran case is full with oil so far this video for me has been pretty boring I'm going to spice things up and add some oxygen and acetylene to the mix no Correo I made the oxygen ettling mixture almost to ometric that way it's somewhat explosive but we'll also be able to see the flame I'm going to hook this up to the engine start the engine on methanol then we're going to open the oxygen acetylene and start injecting the engine with oxygen acetylene when I hit the throttle that should yield some pretty interesting results let's see what happens all right here we go that thing went crazy got a little bit of a fire oh man dude something popped I don't even know what popped that hurt my ears oh I got it out perfect a little bit burned up but that's okay everybody said the weakest part of this engine was the crankshaft and I can verify that because the crank shaft is completely broken in half I don't know why I find that funny to my surprise that was a complete catastrophic failure stars were being born inside those cylinders went from a four-cylinder to a one cylinder that's it 800 bucks down the drain that was interesting that was a lot faster than I thought it was going to be uh she was on point as soon as she heard the engine rev up she just hit it even before I said anything which was perfect because I wanted to inject the acetylene before the engine had a chance to lock up and this was a success let me know what you think in the comments below I got a few more crazy Engine videos to go that are on my backlog from not posting in a while I got to finish those up and I'm going to be transitioning into a few other types of videos that I think everybody's going to like yeah that's it for this one if you want one I'll leave a link below maybe I won't anyway see you in the next video adios it looks like I was finally able to see the flame inside of the cylindersI'm back with another see through engine video
