Gold Blend. A Coffee Jar Engine........
Stilldrillin:
Two more weeks gone by! Haven't been able to do much...... ::)
Spent a lot of precious time on balancing the pistons, separately. Displacer needs 14gm at flywheel rim, piston needs 7gm .
Made a lovely curved weight, guessing at a final weight of 14 gms. Riveted in place between the two 90* throws. Remembering to bias 2/3 towards the displacer.
The engine swayed from side to side!! :palm: So I took it off, but left the rivets in place as a talking point...... :thumbup:
Decided it was time for another run. Less heat this time.
I was surprised, and delighted.......
Still to be pulled apart again, for final locking pins, and sealer. But, looking good, for when it's run in. :D

And no surprise at all; you built it well, so it should run well :D

I was going to tease you a bit about everything being stuck to the wall... :poke: Just how did you manage to make that tea candle have a horizontal flame ? :scratch: :D
Chuck in E. TN:
Stilldrillin',I'll be studying this build intensely. I'm going to copy your efforts to build a wood stove fan for my brother.
