Very nice and different approach, once you have that screw swapped will you have the facility for a video?

Here was me thinking you'd made the stand!

Perhaps that is what you should tell the "bride"?!

It very definitly looks like

has re-appeared!!!

Was by accident. Reading some of the post that were trying to explain how the piston rocked and seeing what Bogs was up to that piece of acrylic rod sorta jumped out at me. That stuff is odd to deal with, looks so bad after you cut it, but a bit of polish compound and it turns clear as bright blue sky.

The stand is a bit, not sure if iy overpowers or not. Little motor just looked so sad at ground level, something was needed to get it to stand proud.

Thanks for the kind words.

DONE! Time for a double shot

Some time spent with the buffing wheel, and of course it spun the flywheel out of my hand, little ding, but adds character, ya! that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

OOH Shinny Things

And a short Video, thing actually runs on breath power, after 20 seconds or so I begin to turn BLUE. Bride cant get it to tick over at all. Cant figure that, she sure had enough air to ream me for the "Goblet"

Excellent Robert

That's a real unique engine you've built there, the videos show just how it works, thanks for sharing.

Nice video on the slow motion. Really shows how that engine works.

Thanks for a great show.

A fantastic little engine. You should be proud of it

I like the way you showed the slow motion of 1 RPM. That picture does say more than a thousand words.
This was

at work at its best.

Cheers

Thanks all for the kind words. As it does run on lung power, its time to do a show and beg from the local metal works, see what I can ~~con~~ err acquire, as I wag my tail

I've just put pretty much this same comment on the tube video....

How's it done? I'm thinking it has something to do with the blue movement in the background?

I'm figuring it's in real time as I'm sure I can hear the birds chirping normally in the audio?

Very nice take on the engine Robert..... Your polishing skills appear fine... The slipage and sending across the room of small parts is quite common and usually very exciting, until you see the damage in the part!

I do hope you're ok after the reaming

Ralph.

Little diorama 2 1/2 rpm motor from micro mark. Left a little spud? on the flywheel when I made it so a small dia tube, (dab of super glue) could attach. Slipped it straight back thru the blue to the motor.

Tis barn bird time of the year, they let me use it once in a while.

Robert,
You should have left the air line on the engine and given the pressure as 0.05 psi!

Good catch Dave. I hadn't even seen that the hose wasn't attached.

Must have been half a sleep.

They got 2 legs, rather plain looking in morning, and make a lot of noise when disturbed

Sounds like the wife in a bad mood. After you have pulled the covers off her, then asked her to go down and make coffee.

BREAKING NEWS.........BREAKING NEWS..................BREAKING NEWS

News is coming in of a further outbreak of Rocking Blingbugitis.

According to the government health minister, I Killum, this is one of the worst cases reported so far.

Local people have been disturbed by strange stirrings in deepest Yorkshire where the high pitched sound of a polishing machine is accompanied by an out of tune voice repeatedly singing ‘it don’t mean a thing if it don’t have no bling, dah dah di dah’.

Our reporter has been on the scene and has managed to capture one or two pictures.

Meanwhile over the pennines in Cheshire a large man with a very small dog has been arrested by the authorities for inciting abnormal behaviour amongst previously normal and harmless people. In a willful act he stands accused of deliberately encouraging model engineers to produce strange shiny little engines and thereby spreading the Bling virus for which, at present, there is no known cure.

Yes folks I have got it too.

I have this compelling urge to go and fashion a weird flywheel - must go.

Hi JohnS

Yes you've got

That looks very nice it amazing the variations you can get with a little bit of imaginative Bling.

Have fun

Stew

Stilldrillin · « **Reply #48 on:** July 30, 2009, 03:46:58 AM »

This bling thing`s not gonna bite me!

But, I seem to have made some little parts, for some reason..........

Hmmmm.......

bogstandard · « **Reply #49 on:** July 30, 2009, 04:45:52 AM »

Nice one John.

Now it seems that with a little push, people are starting to think for themselves, rather than go Lemming fashion and make direct from plans.

BTW John, a square or triangular flywheel on that would look just right.

Also you shouldn't blame me, it was Stew who started this little monster rolling.
