Well done John - will have a look at vid tonight!  :beer:  :ddb:
Darren:
Well done John, you are getting the hang of this.

It might be slow but isn't that a long stroke, does it have power?

What is the size, it's hard to tell ...  :clap:
John Hill:
Darren, it is quite big I suppose, 50mm bore, 50mm stroke, 105mm diameter flywheels and about 375mm overall length.

Thats about as slow as it will run at least until the tight spots get eased a bit  but of course it goes really fast too if the air is available to drive it.

It does have considerable power and I am wondering what shop device I could put it to work driving, maybe a paint can shaker or perhap a reversed Stirling to cool my beer supplies. :scratch:
NickG:
John, I had no idea it was that big!  :jaw: That is HUGE!
Nice work!
