your free monthly reality check
1. this guy isn't building a "model" engine, its a full size engine capable of supplying enough horsepower to run a car, so the discussion shouldn't be happening here in this forum, if (maybe when) something goes wrong it could very well end up being catastrophic, you all think you're helping this guy but you might also be helping him reach that catastrophic moment.
2. All you all seem to be very mis-informed, just look at the length and volume of counter-posts to every post, its utterly insane.
3. this is a "model engine" builders forum, we swap information about the craft of machining them, but this guy is an experimenter, and he's experimenting with high powered engines, his thread isn't about machining, its about engineering, high energy, high powered, engineering, which none of you are technically qualified in, yet you're still trying to help this guy, or I should say trying to show off your knowledge in a field that you aren't actually educated in.

Personal opinion
I like projects that are strange, challenging, and sometimes seem impossible, research projects...
Most of the engines I have worked on I already know how they work and I have never studied them scientifically, because the ability to understand...tools, machines... Mine is limited
Why do I like projects like that!?? What I really like is the useful and .... information... from those projects. And honestly, those projects are very informative,
And I thank the members who actively contributed their ideas and comments !
About the incident...If possible, please give advice, warning...it will help if OP really listens
"model engine" builders forum: For me it doesn't necessarily mean small engines. As long as the engine is homemade it's fine. The engines I have made have a cylinder diameter smaller than 19.7mm (I usually say it is 20mm diameter because I don't care about that 0.3mm difference). So for engines with a cylinder diameter of 50mm, I have considered Is it a model engine?? Well I see it as the engine model, just the scale is different.
I have never measured the speed of the engines I have made, I think it runs fine then it is ok. If someone is trying to work on getting their engine to 50,000 rpm and that would be a very very interesting thread .
If someone needs advice ..from someone with training in model engines - an expert, a master - then there certainly won't be any opinions, comments from me, because I don't trained in small engines or an expert in it and my understanding about it is also limited
If this were a forum only about mechanics or electricity, one thing is for sure, there wouldn't be any comments from me because I have very little knowledge and experience about it.
If someone or the forum needs a trained person, a master, an expert, all my comments should be deleted.
The real important thing is : have fun, learn and share if possible !
Again, that's my personal opinion. Everything I have said on the public forum is my personal opinion
