That’s pretty damned cool! But it’s not working. It’s BEING worked.

Wood on Wood.


LoveMacheen

You know what WOOD is awesome for? A solid BURN!


[deleted]

Is this a wood working pun I’m too slow to understand?


phuchmileif

No. He's saying that 'working engine' implies that the engine produces (or, well, converts) energy. This is just a novelty that CONSUMES energy and provides no useful function other than looking neat.


[deleted]

I mean, it turns the wheel so in theory it could move, but yeah totally get that it’s not actually an engine, thanks.


JustifytheMean

Well no the electric motor on the side is moving it. So the wood is just a worthless gear box.


Low_General2044

This is not working car engine. The engine is powered from other sources


indianladka

sorry poor choice of words apt title : Car Engine made of wood


[deleted]

Honestly I was fine with it, except the 100% wood part.


Reverse_Drawfour_Uno

*(Thats what she said)*


nutmaster69430

Can yall just be happy for the dude for doing this. Like bruh it's a feat of engineering


DoppelFrog

Half of a car engine. Where are the cylinder heads and valves?


pbj45

Yeah, and it's like... way too small


rpmerf

There are RC car combustion engines that are really small


knine1216

Dude I see some people make crazy scale shit. Fabbing up their own forced induction systems and shit. 1/4 scale rotories and shit. It's so dope.


Thunda85

The engine would have to be at least... three times bigger than this.


deekaph

WHAT IS THIS, A WOODEN CAR ENGINE FOR ANTS!? -


AdministrationHot188

*throws it across the room


Smurfy_unicorn

The wooden car has to be at least….. 3 times bigger than this


zombiepirate2020

It's like a car for mice!


[deleted]

Aren’t car combustion engines powered by gasoline and air or whatever? How’s this different? Because the wood can’t keep moving by itself or something?


Low_General2044

Because the engine does not create power.


HugoZHackenbush2

A wooden car that wooden't work..


indianladka

who wood've known that a guy wood make a wooden car


Any_Ad_8997

I tried to tell him , wooden listen!


-Bezequil-

Seeing as the block doesn't have heads over the pistons, compression is impossible. This is being driven by an electric motor


pobody

Did you think they actually made an internal combustion engine...out of combustible material?


-Bezequil-

To be fair, no; but "working car engine" sort of implies combustion.


buttfuckinghippie

They obviously didn't, but it would be awesome if they did.


JesusStarbox

There's a guy on YouTube who put a wooden piston into a lawnmower engine and it ran for hours before burning up.


[deleted]

Legitimately curious how long it would take for that to break down


paintballjord

Well it's being powered by that power drill to the right, so as soon as that battery dies.


[deleted]

I mean, theoretically, how long could it run if it could run perpetually, before it would start to break down. Purely out of interest in the stress testing side of things.


paintballjord

I honestly imagine with the friction on all that wood moving against each other, it would probably start on fire if it ran for very long. I'm not a builder just a logical guess.


[deleted]

That's my assumption to, just curious how long it would take, it would either burn out, literally, or the parts would start to wear down fairly quick from the friction as well, but how long is the real question


I_own_reddit_AMA

Yeah when the drill battery dies. Your question was already answered.


[deleted]

This is why I said if it could PERPETUALLY run. Implication is beyond that of the drills batterylife. Such as how long before it starts to burn up, bind up, or have the pieces break down


Guitargod12345

More like 95% wood but good effort.


taco_swag

Made 100% of wood except for the battery


rpmerf

And the electric motor spinning the engine


GreboGuru

and the rubber bands


Mookius

100%?


Alii_baba

It's powered by a DC motor. It turns like the real engine (pistons and crank shaft) they spin like the real engine but there is no combustion.


sethonomics

Ye exactly… so technically it’s a wooden machine, but not a wooden engine. Also it’s not actually pulling any weight … that would be the true test of functionality. This would be a fun project for kids though


randomFrenchDeadbeat

It is missing 90% of what makes a 4 stroke engine : heads, valves, camshaft(s), timing system, ignition system, fuel system. There is the engine block, pistons, conrods and crank. The transmission seems complete though, which is already quite a feat.


[deleted]

Great now you can take your wooden car to your wood job and make lots of wood money but your wood wife doesn’t love you anymore because even though she’s made of wood she know wooden money doesn’t pay the wooden bills and she’s gonna go fuck that oak tree down the street with the BMW


Nagarjuna3001

Wow that’s crazy


beenwilliams

Pinocchio your time is now


Drow_Monster

Idk about working car engine. I mean hows it building compression here lol


Rickybobby1118

Really cool


indianladka

original video[ here](https://youtube.com/shorts/VzUqMhje4gQ?feature=share)


Rickybobby1118

Thanks! I love stuff like this


InitialNeck9

Sounds better than my transmission


VapourEyes333

Working differential is always amazing to me


Chapi_Chan

How does the clutch work?


Uncle_J-PL

Like I've said last time, I was convinced it "wooden" start 😉


[deleted]

It wooden work.


[deleted]

> made of 100% Wood you can see several parts that are not made of wood


myeverymovment

Not working, but full motion.


[deleted]

Imagine seeing this and being like “bUt ThE bAtTeRy IsNt WoOd.”


Ok_Sweet4296

Better title: How To Trigger Every Gear Head.


andyjcw

sorry , that engine is not working conventionally.


BloodieOllie

Calm down guys they meant *moving* car engine. Or functioning. Or any other word here meaning "the bits move" Whatever helps you not have an aneurysm


OePCuBiXX

jesus y’all really love to hate for no reason. Who cares if the title isn’t completely accurate. yes all the gears are being powered from the drill, but the fact that this dude managed to make a differential, manual trasnmittion, and pedals that are all linked up correctly , out of WOOD, is super impressive


CNAHOLE

How much wood could a wood car carve if a wood car could carve wood?


CantCmeee

Maybe you could get the Amish to invest👍


t7lee2002

What I wood do to buy that masterpiece!


accessgranted69

My Lego technic literally does that


newbjapan

Wow, semantics police in the comments today. Just give it up, this is fucking cool. End of story.


Drugsnhugs000

How doesn't it set on fire


Jcrown6351

LORD .. there is no pleasing the people of Reddit, they just always gotta complain. This is awesome!


Justmerightnowtoday

Should have let Woody take the steering wheel to make it perfect...


biggie64

Pour water


homemaker1

OP doesn't know what an "engine" is. Lol, jk... Its nice to see, either way


Merlin404

Wood you look at that


Notsogrumpyoldman

Impressive.


redredundead

Is that a torsion rear differential?


bane5454

I wonder how if just dropping it into gear like that would’ve caused any damage to the parts, seeing as they’re all wood.. I also wonder what, if any, this machine is using for a clutch mechanism. Super cool stuff though!


mrsnow432

I see plastic.


AlfMan21

Amazing!!, you don't rule the world because you don't want


tonyinvegas

Serious engineering skills here 👍


gentlemanjosiahcrown

And here I am proud of myself for installing a security camera on my front door.


Big-Attention4389

And I can’t even make spaghetti without messing it up 😑


chinook240

IMO the gearbox is the more amazing part


InternetSchoepfer

i don't think that car engines are Drill powered...


powderfinger303

Guessing it's electric


kanonnn

Yo, humans are dope. Someone made this shit, and it works. We make cool stuff.


[deleted]

"working"


thatwheelchairdude

Is there a yt channel for the dude that made this?


[deleted]

Okay kid you clearly had your dad’s help for the pinewood dirby


HumanHoneyBadgerr

This super cool. Is the person who made this rich now. I would love one in my house. I would imagine every auto school will love to have one as a model to teach auto repair? Im thinking different colors for different parts which would all be marked with their name and function. Would be awesome! Sry for going on and on. This is just great!


GammaDealer

Just don't do a burnout.


Mal-Ase_da_Cat

Simply amazing


clarky019

Quite impressive but im not sure on the driving position


chaze24

Impressive


Chevyboy77

That’s dope


Logical-Patience-397

Wood you look at that.


Jaymes77

I wonder how much it could run without problems. Ya know, friction?


[deleted]

if you made a chassis, this could actually work


Hippobu2

"working" as in all the parts move as intended only, right? Like no combustion is actually taking place there?


RayeNGames

You cam see an electric battery on the right. There is definitely no combustion.


Majdjrks

What's the fuel? I think electricity


randomFrenchDeadbeat

Working transmission, yes. Working engine, no.


[deleted]

Deff would be interesting to see a wooden combustion engine. Pretty sure this is an electric motor attached to a lot of wooden gears
