Gday all
well here's my plans for my first build in over 25 years
its going to be a challenge from the word go with a lot of stops on the way done some very rough sketch's
the idea if it hasn't been done before is to have a 3 piston radial type engine at the front and have the air/steam line coming in from the top of the heads and running back to behind the pistons and the valves in a line with the crank coming straight of the crank with the exhaust coming straight out the top of the valves
its a bit hard to explain but i hope the VERY rough sketch's show the plans
theres no measurements as yet as it will be hit & miss (excuse the punt) until I work a few things out do the measuring as I go and document it there will be some castings involved
the main/crank will have bearings at each end to support it all
now the question i have is how big or heavy do i make the flywheel Ive got most of it nutted out (in my head) but the flywheel is a tricky one for me
cheers
Wayne
