I don’t know why, but I find this. . . arousing. At any rate, if you wanted to know exactly how a radial engine operates, here you go. Now if I can just find one of the ones where the crank is stationary and the cylinders spin!

Radial Engine Cutaway is Hypnotic, Kinda' Sexy

For some reason, I thought of this:
-
I like it when she moves her hips like that…
-
Sexy engine does a sexy dance.
-
That poor girl's got buckets stuck all over her!
-
It's doing the Hula dance! I've always fantasized about dating a hula girl …

I believe those are called Rotary Engines when the cylinders spin
-
You are indeed correct sir. Googling "rotary", unfortunately returns lots of Wankel rotaries and very few early aircraft rotaries (they are out there, though).

Here's a video of a rotary aircraft engine being started.[youtube WfEEmdz7-Fkhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfEEmdz7-Fk youtube]

alos, i 1 up you. http://www.luxology.com/store/16_rotary_engine/im…

How the heck do all the connecting rods attach to the crank? Really thin con rods?
-
I'm guessing pickle fork style, like a Harley.
-
That's a lot of pickles..
-
Wiggly pickles, even. Though now that I've looked at the animation again, if it can be trusted, it looks like each con rod may have its own pin located around the circumference of the crank journal. Though I'm in no way sure it's called a journal, of course.

here you go the rotating cylinder design: http://www.animatedengines.com/gnome.shtml

I bet that sucker runs COOL.
-
While it does run cool, the gyroscopic force from the large rotating mass has a tendency to send the plane into the ground if you try to execute a turn too soon after take-off.

That is some seriously awesome stuff… Never seen a cutaway of these engines before. In fact, I have never really considered how different they would function than a regular engine before this.
-
First video hit for "Gnome Rotary." So cool. -
A guy is planning to use one for LeMons…http://forums.24hoursoflemons.com/viewtopic.php?i… This should be good.
-
Good is an understatement. That should be awesome!
