Another version of how not to build a model engine

<< < (30/41) > >>

sorveltaja:
Nick, the engine ran out of gas, after that 30 minutes ::).

It seems that the engine speed is low enough, so that it doesn't cause an overheating.

Adding some cooling element(s) would be cool, but not quite yet...

sorveltaja:
To lower the idle speed, I increased the weight of the flywheel by adding smaller brass flywheel to it.

Also a bit of fiddling was done with crankshaft camshaft timing.

Result:


Anyways, I consider that as a giant leap for mankind in this project, closer to goal :ddb:.

chuck foster:
now that's a big improvement  :thumbup: :thumbup: 


chuck  :wave:

NickG:
It's spot on now! Were you timing it with a strobe light or something there?

What are your overall plans for this then S? Is it to dress this one up a bit or now you have the baseline are you going to start a new version?

Well done  :bow:  :thumbup:

Nick

John Hill:
Really nice result and it runs so well too! :thumbup:
