Radial Engine Model

This demonstration model displays a functional 4-stroke radial engine, which is distinct from a straight-cylinder engine as the cylinders are linked to the crankshaft using a single hub with a master-and-articulating rods assembly. This engine configuration was popular in WWII aircraft due to its reliability and efficiency. Moreover, to ensure a smooth firing order, most 4-stroke radial engines consist of an odd number of cylinders.

The model was constructed based on SPARK PLUG's tutorial on Youtube, which you can find the link to below:

To facilitate animation, the model was assembled using joints and motion links. The following parts are animated:

• Rotor
• Pistons
• Camshafts
• Camshaft gears
• Connecting rods
• Valves
