Moteur oscillant double effect

[sbwhart]

Thanks Guys

Eric:-  yes it is self starting, it gets four power stokes per rev, the cranks are set at 90 deg to each other, that's what makes it such a good engine to use in Radio controlled model boats etc.

Now all I've got to do is convert this lot into six more engines.

Hi Stew, that is a beautiful engine, the video shows it off quite nicely, and setting it up at 90 degrees on the cranks makes it an impressive little thing with the ease by which it changes directions.  You've produced a beautiful set of engines, and done it on a very well done build log, showing some good ideas for the rest of us to consider.  Very nice indeed! cheers, mad jack

Wow - spot on Stew!! Nice one... so what are their faits? Are they sold already or to be sold...I presume your not keeping all 6 !

Very cool Stew. Didn't know it was self starting. Will move it up the list of engines to build... Would like to to do a boat of some sort!

Woah!!!!- fantastic engine and fantastic work there

I'm glad i found this build when it was finished as waiting for each new edition would have killed me!!! (read it from start to end just now and i enjoyed it immensly!!!)

Many thanks for making the log so interesting (with loads of pics too!!) and easy to follow


Cheers, John

Thanks for you comments Guys

Well the last week as bin a bit slow in the shop domesitc duties called but I've managed to change this



Into this



Times Seven



I made a crude manifold and tried running all seven at once but the best I could do was six, some of the ports on the manifold were hogging all the air, so the supply to some of the engines was low, but you'll get the idea.

That's a fine sight Stew!  Well done!

Bet your compressor was a bit puffed, when you'd finished......

Called round John's this afternoon for a natter and play with the engines John gave me some great tips on how to fine tune them, and we coupled them up to his big compressor.

So her they are all seven running.

Nicely done, You Two!

Hi Stew, I was impressed by your intent of mass producing the small little two cylinder engines, and further impressed by the sight of the assembly line you managed to make work, and far more impressed with the way everything seemed to fit together so well, and there are no mere words to describe seeing all seven running simultaneously   that is fantastic, and very impressive.  Far better on the bigger compressor, if only because one can hear your voice.  I had a compressor like that, I called it "The Screamer", and while it did a good job for many years, it was a relief when it threw the rod out, and broke the cylinder.  I have to build at least one like these, and the way you made it appear so natural to build several simultaneously, I might have to just try to follow your build to the letter.  Outstanding, to say the least quite a feat!! mad jack
