Hello everyone!
I'm Lennart, 19 years old and from the Netherlands.
I'm studying Cartechnics at Bachelor level on the HRO Rotterdam.
I have to make an 3D drawing in 3D design program Autodesk Inventor.
The intention is to draw the following things:
-Crankshaft
-Piston
-Conrods
So I don't need to draw the camshafts + valves.
This was for me the challenge to do this task on the 'Bugatti Veyron 16.4'
Yes indeed... a big challenge
My big problem is only that I can't find any information about the enige
I only know the following thins:
-diameter of the cylinder is 86mm
-stroke is 86mm
-the angle between the two V8's is 90 degrees
-the angle of one separated V8-part of the W16 engine is 15 degrees
-Ignition order of the cylinders: 1-14-9-4-7-12-15-6-13-8-3-16-11-2-5-10
Some basic information:
-16 cylinders, 4 rows of 4 cylinders. And in fact Bugatti (or Volkswagen ..) combined two VR8's into each other on one crankcase.
- the crankcase has for each bearing two piston rods. So not every bearing has an own conrod.. (if you don't understand what I mean with this, watch this video then: http://rowla.dyndns.org/justin/img/piston_v8.mpg )
So my points are the following thins:
- foto's van krukas/drijfstangen/zuigers of iets wat daarmee te maken heeft
-photo's of the crankshaft/conrods/pistons or anything else what has to do someting with it
- engine drawings
- measures
-orders of the crankcase parts, the angle of the parts on the crankcase
-wich cylinder is wich number, otherwise I can not really use the ignition-order
-all other information that may be usable for my drawing project.
When I have completed my drawing, then it's my intention the simulate the 'crankshaft-rods-piston' combination. Ofcourse, when it is finished, I willl show the results here
I'll hope that I can get some usable information here on this forum
Greetings Lennart
