Deutz 3D Engine Screensaver

Shane™

Great screensaver showing an inline-four cylinder engine, I think its a tractor engine by Deutz, a German engine maker.

It starts by showing the engine assembling itself; with blocks cranks, bearings, cams, gaskets,manifolds, pumps, dipsticks, tappets ... the works!

It then gives gives you an inside look at the combustion compartment, injecting fuel, igniting it and expelling the exhaust fumes.

Download it form here, well worth a look.

? Am just getting an error re rebuilding screensaver on trial version to remove the error message?

- Not a Tappet in sight - getting a bit cranky though

Sorry about that, it appears that all the files are needed

be warned it's a 43M download, but still worth it.

I'm not sure it is by Deutz as it looks like a petrol, can anyone confirm this?

From the stroke sequence it appears to have spark plugs and it looks like fuel is being injected into air before being injected into the combustion chamber, but I know very little about engines, any thoughts?

This site claims that it is a DOHC 4 cylinder engine, is that a petrol? He also states that "One of the parents, Mike, works at Ford Motor Company and brought this rather cool screensaver along yesterday evening." here. But if so why has he called it a Deutz Engine?

Actually that site has a smaller flash version, if 43M is too big.

shouldnt have spark plugs if its a diesel (think you noticed that)

Shane™

But I'm not sure if they are spark plugs

Errrmm

assuming that it is a Deutz Engine ....


The company "Deutz" now usually make big diesels, but their history goes back in a straight line to "Nikolaus Otto Gasmotorenfabrik" ...the same Nikolaus Otto that invented the "Ottomotor" aka the "petterel engine"

....and, hanging my anorak on the coat-hook - ahem - didn't he just do that to avoid the petrol patent?

I'm a bit scetchy on the details (and too lazy to google it) but afaik the first "Otto" engine ran on gas. Petrol in those days could only be bought in pharmacies.
Only when the carburettor was bolted onto the gas engine (by whom I don't know ...but I suspect it was Carl Benz, as they call their petterel "Benzin" in Germany) did the more portable and storable Petrol become the powersource of choice.

Otto's engines were stationary and used as replacements for cumbersome steam engines in factories.

Deutz to this day still make stationary engines for Generators and the like.

3 more screensavers, to quote:

"The truck engine is a V8 all aluminum Over Head Valve engine with Active Fuel Management and Variable Valve Timing. The truck engine is used in the Denali and Escalade."

"The car engine is also a V8 all aluminum Over Head Valve engine but doesn't have the Active Fuel Management or Variable Valve Timing. The car engine is used in the Corvette."

Good but not as good as the first one.

First one was very good. Just watched it now. Nice find OP.

From reading the Ford item above,on youtube it's down as Ford 3d duratec HE assemblage.LINKY

Wow - can't believe this !!!

Thanks for posting OP

- For anyone else - this is def. worth a look

Runs off to tell people...........

Just downloaded the Deutz one and its super. Many thanks for sharing. I just wonder was there ever one done using the Wankel Rotary Engine, as that would be well worth seeing.
