1How were the cylinders numbered on the electric motor? Wiki isn't a help.
The exact way that the american engines where numbered is correct. For a V8 SBC engine, the way they are numbered is correct. The way the Chevrolet Corvair engine is numbered is correct. If others follow that they are also correct.Well, then O Enlightened One, please tell us, what's the ONLY logical numbering system for radial and in-line engines?
Anything to do with getting online and forums is a waste of time. Gives us old guys something to do. If I lived closer I'd waste some of that time at your place for free.Wow! what a wast of peoples time.
Lets have a history lesson:
First engines were built in Germany, Then England, US, France, Italy, and soon everyone was building.
Then we went from cars to airplanes with a huge number of manufactures making engines. Now add in the fact that all the early companies made their own hardware and supplied tools for the engines.
That made standards for hardware and tools a real necessity.
So then we had AN in the US, British standard in the UK and DIN in Germany.
However the numbering of cylinders started in Germany so they must be correct and everyone else in wrong. Of course Daimler Benz, BMW and Junkers all used different terms for aircraft engine parts so maybe we will have to go with DB as the final answer to all this.

Which would be? And why is it the only correct numbering?The exact way that the american engines where numbered is correct. For a V8 SBC engine, the way they are numbered is correct. The way the Chevrolet Corvair engine is numbered is correct. If others follow that they are also correct.
Recip engines are engines, car engines end up in airplanes, airplane engines end up in cars. I covered why in previous posts.Which would be? And why is it the only correct numbering?
Also, the numbering on a V engine has nothing to do with radial cylinder numbering, so why were these numbered 'backwards'?
I'm not into cars at all, so to quite honest, I don't care what the automotive worlds does.
I didn't realise that engines were interviewed about their emotional needs, whether going for the aero engine or auto option is best for their development.Recip engines are engines, car engines end up in airplanes, airplane engines end up in cars. I covered why in previous posts.
Its really simple. 12345678 how much easier can it be?That's not much of a answer PWR, after you started this thread with such bluster.
GM 3.1 is one. And the cylinder numbering is correct on it as well.There actually are some V-6 engines with a 123456 firing order.
First time I saw that I thought, "that's gotta be a misprint ".
So, what's hte correct numbering method for a radial? Since you said it was 'backwards' in your first post.Recip engines are engines, car engines end up in airplanes, airplane engines end up in cars. I covered why in previous posts.
Here ya go!So, what's hte correct numbering method for a radial? Since you said it was 'backwards' in your first post.
I've never seen a piston rotary engine in a car...
Is there any thing in the whole universe you don't have a picture of S/R? Its remarkable, so I will remark on it.
It is how quickly you come up with a pic to explain your point, you have to know what you are looking for first lolsometimes my google fu is strong and sometimes it is weak
But an time somebody says they never saw something, try googling it.
Somebody, somewhere, sometime has probably built one just so they could say they did.
Like steam powered "motor" cycles.
They don't have to make sense.
Airplane engines in cars have a long history.
Yep, not a Rotary... Seen that pic before, and there's one in a motorcycle too.
