Here is a quick video to showcase an 8 cylinder engine prototype that I built.
The main goal of this one was to create a visually interesting engine in a rather small package, with a simple mechanical system. As well as to create a lego engine that simply looks functional.
The valves are not accurate but add life by moving and making a ticking sound. They don't serve any purpose other than to add a visual effect. The whole engine is driven by a Large Lego Motor that is built underneath the cylinders to give it the look of an oil tank.
Characteristics:
The max speed at the crankshaft is about 1140 RPM. The engine could run a lot faster without any side effects as it is build in such a way that the valves are unable to slip out. I kept it at the current RPM simply because I didn't want to attach bigger or more pairs of gears, although this could easily be done.
The model is attached to rubber dampers to absorb the vibrations at high RPM, thus keeping the stand from moving around.
