Absolutely brilliant :clap:
I'm surprised that it didn't blow itself away on that frame
-
That is a beautiful engine!
Its almost large enough to power a small aircraft, do you have any such plans?
-
That is really cool.

How absolutely fabulous! I wish I had even a tiny fraction of that skill.
I can just see this in a steampunk motorcycle, but I can't make up my mind if the crankshaft would be in-line with the frame or across it.

Pete,
In line.
If it was across then the gyro effect would be deadly.
Believe me on this, I once owned a V twin Moto Guzzi. I don't remember if it was left or right hand bends, but if you opened up the throttle on the wrong one it would lift the front wheel off the ground and try to rotate the bike around the engine.
Hairy.
Dave.
