humming fly wheel

<< < (7/7)

websterz:
Pull the drum and pin assembly out of an old wind up music box and mount it on the flywheel axle.  :dremel:

doubletop:
I see support for the cardboard and peg solution is gathering pace. Picclock's version is just a bit more elegant and he has done a good job in justifying it.

Edit

And Webertz proposal is a more elegant version of Bogs suggestion of a bell.

Imagineering:
This is a Steam/Air Engine right?
So, we have a stream of compressed Steam/Air at the Exhaust right?
So, why not Drill a series of Axial Holes in the Rim of the Flywheel and direct the Exhaust at the Holes?
It may very well whistle, rather than hum, but I guess that any noise will do, right?
It may also be possible to drill a series of Radial Holes around the periphery of the Flywheel to achieve the same effect?

DaveH:
Murray,

A bit of clever thinking there :D Might work.

It's finger operated engine :doh: for the grandkids.

Nevertheless I like the idea, I may not be able to use it the finger engines but for an air engine it would be cool. :clap: :clap: :clap:
