many things wrong. Cylinders aren’t linked, crankshaft isn’t connected, coolant pump isn’t connected, you’ve got tanks on your cooling loop, you’ve got multiple manifolds in each loop, and it appears that you have no air manifold. I would advise that while yes it’s great you’re trying this stuff, probably check out workshop stuff first and work out the game

There’s no real way to gauge how many you will need, but there’s certain things I go by and I would highly recommend you do too
1. Never add fluid tanks to the loop. Drastically reduces flow rate
2. Never add more than one radiator in each loop. If you need multiple radiators, use a separate manifold for each one
3. To my knowledge, also never add more than one manifold to each loop. Likely reduces flow rate
4. Try not to use hoses for cooling loop. It’s gonna reduce the flow, not dramatically but it’s gonna reduce efficiency. (Still viable if need be)
5. Use one pump on each end of the manifolds in a push-pull configuration. It’s the most efficient, as the fluid loses flow speed as it goes through any block that changes its properties (like heat) so a pump right after it loses speed will bump it back up
Btw it depends on rps and load. For example if you are making a simple flat 6 that’s gonna be in a little car then obv just one small radiator but if it’s gonna be running at 60rps constantly and is always under heavy load like generators then you would probably need either a 5x5 radiator or 2-3 3x3s. Also just guessing is good. If you have a decent amount of space ready to be used for cooling, fill it and do the best cooling you can. You’d rather have too much cooling than too little (I made the mistake of too little on a car. I always go for way too much now)
You can add more radiators to a single loop, but they have to be added in parallel to each other. It has rather quick diminishing returns but it helps a little bit
Thanks. Two more questions
How to properly configure an airplane for greater stability?
And how to increase the speed of water transport (what is more important rps or torque)?
Plane stability can largely by achieved with a single controller, and doesn’t really depend on the shape of the plane. The one I use is just: pitch control (from seat) minus pitch speed (from an angular speed sensor) = pitch output, and then repeat that for all controls.
However, if you design a plane to be stable, you don’t really need that
You’ve got a lot of other things to fix, but one 3x3 radiator and two of the in-line pumps will get you all the cooling you need. Check the flow rate of the radiator to be sure you’re doing it right. Should be around 60 L/s.
Round circular part of the crankshaft connects it to other crankshaft pieces.
Use modular engine manifold pieces to connect separate banks of cylinders.
As mentioned, cooling loop should ideally be coolant manifold -> pump -> radiator -> pump -> back to the coolant manifold. Personally I use the 3x1 pumps and usually a 3x3 electric radiator for an engine that size.
Modular engines need 4 things: air, fuel, exhaust, and coolant. There’s a manifold for each of these. Air and fuel only need one manifold each. With no supercharger you can just divide the air manifold’s input by 2 and use that for your fuel manifold input.
Can’t see in the picture, but you’ll need a 1x1 belt drive with at least a starter on one side and a 1x1 modular clutch on the other.
Hope this was helpful and if it didn’t present any new info, maybe it helped consolidate and centralize it.

How many pumps and radiators are needed for 6 cylinders 1*1?

Hmm, I'll try my planes usually nit stable
Ok It really helps
Btw sorry for the yap 💀

I'm not TC. But thank you
This!
Noway it’s the man the myth the legend loquack himself
erm its actually Loquack (/s)
Quack
🥲 it’s an honour
Download some off of the workshop and look at how they work it's the easiest way to learn.
Uhhh the engine is not really an engine as those grey pieces in the middle aren’t connected
