Potenz Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 (edited) You can state whatever you want to - being that a quarter of this thread is about motorcycles and car engines... I can't see how they directly correlate to liquid cooled inverted V-12s or 14 cylinder radials... Nor can I see how translating power from the rear axle of a car directly correlates to translating power to a straight crankshaft... Thus, I can't see how anybody has answered OP without themselves drawing unverified or unsubstantiated conclusions. WWII aircraft engines has no straight crankshaft to the Prop instead use a reducer gear in the front to make it easy for the engine to spin the prop, Thats because straight crankshaft is a uneficient way to deliver power, imagine this you don't have any reducer gear to make the prop spin you should use the engine at max power to just make the prop spin at 3k rpm here is the side cut of the reducer gear Edited July 8, 2015 by Erg./JG54_Potenz 1
SCG_Space_Ghost Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 -snip- Doh! I knew that. I still imagine that a direct reduction gear like that translates power differently than a differential in a RWD car. -snip- They are still 4 stroke, engines operating on the same thermodynamic principles, you can throw in fancy terminology like inverted V and 14 cylinders and radials, at the end of the day its an engine, it converts chemical energy to mechanical work. All of them have crankshafts and all are driving shafts -snip- With that logical fallacy forming the basis of your interpretation, I'm not sure if I even want to read the rest...
Potenz Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 Doh! I knew that. I still imagine that a direct reduction gear like that translates power differently than a differential in a RWD car. actually is the same principle, just that in a RWD car you have a set of gear just for better engine and fuel performance, but in a scooter apart for the drive belt is quite the same
