A Clear Acrylic Mechanical Clock Cut in a Laser
Переглядів 5863 роки тому
Ever since my fascination with gear design I have always wanted to design my own clock and build it. After learning the Autocad software I designed a timing device that's different from any clock I have ever seen. Everything (acrylic) was cut on a 75 watt laser. The weight making the clock run is 357 grams on the intermediate shaft between the minute and hour hands. It will run about 26 hours b...
"BUMBLE BEE" Miniature Hit-N-Miss Engine(first run)
Переглядів 9283 роки тому
The paint scheme inspired this little engine's name! This miniature engine's displacement of 3.90 cubic inches(64cc.) is the result a 1-3/8" bore and 2-5/8" stroke. Crown cooking stove fuel(Walmart) with a little of 2-cycle oil mixed in helps lubricate the rubber O-ring in the piston's groove for no blow-by operation.

    I heard my first hit-n-miss engine 40-odd years ago on vacation on the Portugese island of Madeira: I thought something was wrong with the engine of a little fishing boat that was putt-putt-putting its way out to sea. Turns out, it was working as expected. Thanks for this explanation. I wish I'd had a shop teacher like this back in the day.

    I saw a video this morning of a hit and miss 2 stroke on the Mustie1 YT channel. When he slowed it down by putting on a glove and pushing on the flywheel, the number of firings increased. But yours doesn't seem to do that or the load is so minimal it just doesn't have the effect. Thanks for the tutorial and explanation. It makes perfect sense.

    Love it!! I want to build a larger more modern (slightly modern) version, a two cylinder, opposed piston, with 10"-12" stroke, and 6"-8" bore, make the cylinders from steel pipe, and steel plate, I'd really like to make it a oil burner, either way, maybe it can be ran off oil vapor, make a hot pot carburator, that uses a flame under what is basically a pressure cooker pot, and a small copper coil tubing to drop the temperature below the ignition point . So it doesn't ignite when it hits the airing the venturi of the carb, the throttle changes the oil drip rate slightly, but mostly and opens a valve allowing more fuel out the coil of 3/16" tubing, and a throttle blades probably made from a 24 mm scooter carb, or similar lawnmower carb, with the tube epoxied into the carb venturi, so if could be used for natural gas/propane also the hot vapor being est, 50°-70°F below tge ignition temperature mixing with air entering the cylinder, with a pair of sparkplugs per cylinder, with .060"gap and two coils firing twice per ignition cycle, with a 50-60 kv coil per plug, with a high current , high voltage spark to ignite the oil vapor that should be 150°f roughly when it enters the engine, The pistons cast using old pistons from car engines, the molds made from foam, cast using the list foam method. plaster and sand, the foam piston being made est. 1/2" larger, to account for shrinkage. Use parts from modern engines where possible. Model the pistons after a diesel engine. With the combustion chamber in the piston approximately 80% anyway. Because the bore is so large, the large quench pads, and shapes to induce swirl to promote an effective combustion, the oil rings made from iron pipe cast then fired and machined into shape surface ground to thickness, use a spiring in the ring land stretched around and connected to it's self to space the rings from Each other , with a pair compression ring , top ring 3/16"- 1/4". From the top, the head cast from aluminum, with the water jackets being cross drilled, and cast in, uding plaster and sand, use large valves from a big block Chevy, or Chrysler engine, 1.880" exhaust, and 2.225" intake, opening to 1.000" - 1.200"+/- it doesn't require alot of seat pressure or open pressure, at less than 1500 rpm, weld and machine a crank, from steel bar, 2"-3" diameter, with 4" x .500" thick, use roller wheel bearings for crank main bearing if possible, and a engine main bearings for rod bearings, possibly from a diesel truck engine, in the near 3" range, or a rod bearing, if one is available in that size, use a oil pump to spray the rollers, and feed the rod bearings, through the crank, also the piston pin, fed oil thru a 3/16" - 1/4" braised in steel tube, feeding oil, also feeding the oil ring land, spraying into the 1/8" holes in the piston skirt, the top side to lube the bore, with an overhead cam, possibly using a lawn mower or motorcycle cam with 2.5:1 rockers, with springs only 25psi seat 50-60 nose pressure, possibly use a screw in plug to lower the compression ratio, if the compression ignition doesn't work, (the complex air blast injection system I have an idea for) the injection working like a cross between a paint sprayer and a carburator, spraying oil through tiny holes into a venturi, through another set of tiny holes, using near 30 bar air pressure , lvhp paint sprayer basically, spray the fuel into a 1/16"-1/8" tube in the injectors, using a 1.5"-2" piston to put a air burst through the injector, as the fuel is being injected into the tube, about 50 cc of air at roughly 30bar, a venturi injection may be possible , just spray air through the tube with fuel , in an outside tube, using basically a annular discharge booster from a carburator, blast a 14.5 psi x 30+/- = 380 psi+/-,, air a piston and cylinder filled with the compressed air, then the full volume is used at full throttle. To reduce the throttle, some means to reduce the volume of air, not pressure. Giving an alternative path to refuse fuel and volume of air to throttle the engine. With the ability to go from zero, to 100 % maybe a simple bypass with a spring loaded check valve. And possibly feed the high pressure bypass air into the low pressure air tank , Being multiple stages, multiple compressors,a compressor compressing 120-150 psi air, to raise it another 100+ psi , using a AC compressor, with filters to remove water and oil, dust, and a cotton gauze oiled filter first, with a carbon filter between stages , to remove oil introduced by the compressors, single compressor from a automotive ac system will most likely, reach the pressure, I'm looking for about 150 psi above the engines cranking pressure, so there is plenty of pressure to atomize the oil as it's injected into the engine , with around 22:1 compression! It's likely not going to make a lot of HP, 40 would probably be possible, and it should make a fair amount of TQ. I want it to be used as a DC generator, producing 600 amps at 32 volts, plus, less than 20 kw with losses, it's probably going to require. 25-30 kw of output from the engine, 22hp should do it, if it can do that at 600rpm , with twin opposed cylinders , with Soo much displacement, even if it's running on gas with 8:1 compression it should make enough power to suit it's purpose, it may need to spin 800-900 RPM, that being it's sustainable peak apparently, maybe 1000-1200 definitely, a 12" stroke eq, a lot of piston speed, it's just a matter of finding the scrap to put it together, and the ability to machine the parts!!, Sorry to ramble a stray!! ✌️
