Claas Green Monster Allison Team - behind the scenes video in English! April 03, 2022 02:16AM
Yesterday I went to visit my old team, the Allison wonderland that is the Green Monster Team in Germany, picked Dirk and we made a 45 min shop tour video, especially for you guys - IN ENGLISH (at least we tried our best).
Check it out!

Expect more of that and live streams from European events soon!

I think it's amazing how you are improving on the Allison's original technology. How long do you think it's cylinder head and original crankcase design will still be viable? Any H.P. per C.I. or RPM limitation's with the original design's? But then again, seeing your design and CNC capabilities they could be improved as well.

For now, we are still working on the biggest "bottleneck" the Allison engine has, which is the supercharger. They just didn't have the computer simulation available back then and they never planned to make that engine rev much higher than 3200 - and that's exactly the range where the original supercharger works best. Anything above that and its efficiency goes through the floor, causing all kinds of issues.

There is still a lot of improvement possible in that department.

The heads and blocks don't seem to be a limiting factor at the moment. Given that the EFI makes everything much more controlled and has prevented SO MUCH damage... Back in the day killing one or two engines a season was the standard. Since the EFI is controlled, cylinder pressures per engine degree have been captured etc. they know what they are doing, and the situations, that usually cause damage can be prevented.
Also:
It's like with most things done in that time period. Some areas WAY overengineered - and others they just didn't know or didn't have the possibilities to do better.

The biggest issue is time. There is nobody hired there and while they are all VERY dedicated, they can only spend so many hours after work.

This is exactly the type of video that pulling needs more of.

I did get a kick out of the subtitles... I understood you guys fine most of the time but it made me laugh when the subtitles got the interpretation wrong.

I'd love to see more videos like this from teams as well as builders. Nice work.

Side Note: We are no longer accepting PayPal donations. They have changed their terms of service and stated they would fine PayPal users for spreading "misinformation" and "hate, violence, racial or other forms of intolerance that is discriminatory". PayPal did not provide definitions for some of these vague terms. Woke corporate policies regarding "misinformation" could result in an automatic fine of $2,500 which would have been removed directly from the customer’s PayPal account. PayPal did backdown from some of their policies but quietly implemented portions of them in later terms of service. A financial institute has no right to monitor social media accounts or speech. This is unacceptable and I'll no longer do business with PayPal.

That is a great video and thank you guys for doing that! A small fortune in pullers and parts!
Do they get major sponsorship to support effort?

Re: Claas Green Monster Allison Team - behind the scenes video in English! April 09, 2022 11:28AM
They are backed up by Claas - but it is mostly dedication and skills. They can draw on CAD and then when the sponsors have machine time or the apprentices need practice parts, it gets done.

Our plan is to do much more like this on the platform.
