Some of the future projects are:-

Air powered hit-and-miss engine loosely based on Chuck Fellows design,
Either a V4 or a straight 6 wobbler type engine ( or maybe both  :proj: ),
Convert my X2 mill to cnc control,
convert my rotab to cnc control,
build a skeleton clock.

Thanks Eric, Nick and Chris :thumbup:

I'm actually on number 2 of my list of projects, the CNC conversion. But I have been getting to grips with Alibre 3d cad and have designed a experimental V4, double acting wobbler, I've attached a pdf of it for your optical pleasure. ( if you click and hold on the picture in the pdf you can turn it around to see it from diff' angles )

It may not work out, but I have some experimentation to do before I try and build it. If I do get it working ok I will release a set of plans if anyone would like to see them.


Anyway, thanks for the comments guys.

Looks a nice elegant design that Tim. I haven't done anything on Alibre since my rocking engine, I'll have to get back into it as it's really good to use!

Here's a video of it running today. Actually I have 2 videos but the 2nd is still uploading to youtube, I'll post it up when it finishes.

This one is running at 10-11psi, you can hear that my little airbrush compressor kicks in after a few secs and provides some needed background music to both clips :lol:

Here's the 1st vid ( available in full HD as well )




2nd vid to follow.

And here is the promised 2nd vid, this time a closer view and a slower one, running on 5psi !!!
