    awesome! i briefly tried to find material along these lines to read up on but had no luck. you know of any other texts that would help me with this engine in the near future ?

    balance question

    let me start off by saying that, I am no engineer. never went to college just a trucker with a lot of free time in the sleeper and an obsession with anything mechanical. I am currently designing a 905cui 90-degree v16 that is a flat head/L-head, my current crank design won't accommodate a...

    Side valve diesel engine

    Before it's pointed out, made an error with the "port lock" it's supposed to have space for the push rod to stay in one place while the port lock moves back and forth.

    Side valve diesel engine

    This site reduces the image quality like crazy for some reason. Maybe this helps but I cant do much better. Free cad is a steep learning curve

    Side valve diesel engine

    After a few restless nights thought of a solution to the void created by the ports. I give ya the locking slide valve. This would be the intake valve but both valves will be mirror images of each other The portion that plugs the ports has a curve on the chamber side that would be identical to...

    Side valve diesel engine

    You guys are helpful tho I've already learned a good bit, being a truck driver with a million ideas and unusable time on his hands this is a project I can start without needing a shop and fill those hours of waiting in a dock. Any good reading material yall recommend to find out how much...

    Side valve diesel engine

    I guess I need to say this I'm not going to sell this design the market is already dominated it would be near impossible and I'm starting it with a failed concept, I get that I'm not in denial lol. I just want to simply design and if I'm lucky make a one off aircooled diesel engine that isn't...

    Side valve diesel engine

    It would have to be a tight clearance ... maybe allow it to not necessarily seize in place but get barley stuck on closing and use timed hydraulic pressure to dislodge it? Tapering the sleeve pocket and making clearances to insure the sticking only happens at operating temp and only on the...

    Side valve diesel engine

    So am I on the right track tugboat? The end goal is to have the slots cover between 1/2 and 6/8ths of the cylinder circumference divided between exhaust and intake. if I can get the "valve" designed right to allow for it. I want it to be 4 stroke eliminating the need for a supercharger (both...

    Side valve diesel engine

    Taking all your points into perspective I came up with a new idea "sparing the rod" .. well part of it any way. Hopefully this is a solution to Brian's points and this is just trying to get a viable base to improve upon in a final design. In keeping with the theme of it being simple to...

    Side valve diesel engine

    I get that there is new technology that makes this an obsolete idea, im not claiming its the next best thing. The general hopes with this idea is to further simplify the already simple machining that side valve engines are known for and make the disadvantages of the low compression nature and...

    Side valve diesel engine

    When the piston is at the top of its stroke the piston would be past the ports for intake and exhaust. the voids are going to be responsible for some power loss as the piston comes down during the power stroke as the gas expands to fill them but it would be less voided space than a typical side...

    Side valve diesel engine

    thread71-400431 to further dive into alternative diesel engine designs, and I am by no means schooled in any areas regarding this just a general curiosity and Gained knowledge over the years. The sleeve valve, side valve and one other "valve" type that is a rod with holes cut it that spins like...
