Now I'm embarrassed!Thank you for your kind praise my friend,But if I look to your works I can easily say you're a real Professional!I wish to put your 20 Cylinder engines 1/1 scale copy to my living room,and Look to that gorgeous machine every day and night!

Sure? Ha, ha. My old portable PC nearly collapsed when the engine was completed in SolidWorks 2014. And this only with virtual pieces!

Yeah! easy to guess!İt's a superbly detailed engine model!

Yes, lately I use much more SolidWorks than before. Some models are all SolidWorks, like this engine, although not for renders. This one came from an old version of Keyshot. But yes, the aircraft designs are made in SolidWorks. Not an easy task, and I cannot do the type of geometry I want, so I tend to use certain type of geometries best suited to the program's capacities. It's harder to use than 3D Studio Max with his powerful deforming tools.
When texturing, it's better to go to 3D Max and do the work here. The best results came when I using texture maps done by hand in Photoshop.
But to be honest, my technique is obsolete. The programs now offer many more possibilities, but are unknown to me. I still use the techniques that I learned 20 years ago. I need to recycle myself.

I'm sending a site note to you Please take a look at when you are free,Thanks in advance my friend

In 1931, Pratt and Whitney had a liquid-cooled twenty-cylinder radial the R-2060. It may have been called the "Yellow Jacket", the name refers to a small wasp. The MTU company in Germany makes large V-20 engines for maritime applications. Your design completes the list of twenty cylinder engine types!

Thanks for your comment!
I know that five cylinders per bank is not optimum from the dynamic balacing point of view and from the ignition sequencing criteria. Much better is four or six cylinders. But this engine has four banks of five and is a two-stroke, so the balancing is different and also the "combustion" sequence.
This engine, though being Diesel, lies in the category of the cancelled Rolls-Royce Crecy, a petrol two-stroke conceived to have an enormous power reserve to climb and combat over the standard four-stroke aviation engines of his era.
Also, I love the "radial" and anachronic concept of independent cylinders, though being liquid cooled. Maybe using liquid sodium in a cooling jacket instead of the standard glycol + radiator?
I'm investigating the possibility of cooling an internal combustion engine (mainly turbojets) with water that is converted into superheated steam (like in a boiler), that can be used in a steam turbine to do work (move a compressor or drive a propeller).

Liquid sodium can be used as the coolant in a nuclear reactor. I have read about the Rolls-Royce diesels and I know that two-stroke engines have different balancing than a four-stroke. A two-stroke vee-twelve has a 90 degree bank separation, whereas a vee-twelve four-stroke has 60 degree bank separation. High performance aircraft piston engines have hollow valve stems with liquid sodium in them. Ever considered sleeve valves for your engine designs?

Yes, I also prefer sleeve valves, rotary disc valves or the typical ports controlled by the piston movement before the old poppet valves. For me, the perfect motor can be the opposed piston, two-stroke Diesel like the Junkers Jumo 205 - 207, with his inherent simplicity. But it was 75 years earlier.
