Another Internal Combustion Engine

Thank you Michael.

Helical gears installed.
I turned the cam shaft supports over 180 degrees and drilled and taped for new holes. The driven gear is slightly larger than the original so I had to space the supports out about 0.125. The cam shaft was also replaced with a longer one.


I was able to move the flywheel in to where it should be since the drive gear is centered over the driven gear and not off to the side it gave me more room.


The clapper bar was moved down about an inch and the turn buckle was lengthen to fit.


Comparison video


And now the final video.



I want to thank everyone who left comments and likes along the way as it is appreciated.

Thanks for looking

Well Done!

I really like watching this one run.

Not only can I see the flyballs working on the governor, but I think I can see a spark jumping the contacts. And definite hit and miss action to see and hear as well.

The paint and different materials really look nice.

Thank You for posting.

Wow, just Wow ! I always understood the theory that helical gears run quieter but your video really drives the point home. That is one of the nicest running hit/miss engines I have seen. Most model hit/miss engines do not have a very pronounced hit miss action like the full sized ones do but yours is obviously a exception.

My only wish is that you had plans for this and some of your other engines, I would love to build one just like this one. A hit/miss is something I plan on before long.

A couple questions..... I am interested in getting a drag knife for my mill. I looked at the pics of yours but couldn't quite read the brand name. Would appreciate that info. Next, I am very curious what type of cnc mill you have, I looked at pics posted but couldn't tell. Thanks !

Donek Tools is the brand name of the cutter.

My mill is a RF31 that I made into a CNC setup with all ball screws and Allen Bradley servo motors
Thanks
