My Video of the #29 Mine Engine.

[Metal Butcher]

Here's the video I promised the other day. Without auto focus I had to set it at one distance. Hopefully it came out O.K.

EDIT: Holly Cow!! I just watched the video and realized I plugged the air supply into the exhaust!!! :big: :big: :big: :big: :big:


I thought it was just my senility when I started it up for the video, and it ran counter clockwise. I always set my timing for the flywheels to turn clockwise. I remember doing this silly thing on a previos build, but it wouldn't run. I'll be replacing the exhaust with a shorter pipe.

Any way you turn it, that's one nice piece of work.

Thanks Ed. I appreciate the compliment!

Well now, that's really cool! Lots of moving parts to look at! I might have to put that model on my short list. Been thinking about the next engine when I'm done with the twin.

Say, I seem to remember your feeding the air supply into the twin on the exhaust side at first too, right? As did Marv. Only that engine didn't turn as I recall. That made me ponder putting a valve on the input side of my mine.

Nice job (again!).

Thanks Trout. Your right, it was the twin open column. I solved the problem (senility) by putting a mock muffler on the exhaust side. I already pulled the pipe (before I forget) out of the Mine, and I will either trim away half of it, or add a small disc shaped muffler to it. :

I like your new avatar, but how did ya get a picture of me at a younger age? :big:

MB, neat looking engine. Lot of nice smooth action going on there. Clockwise/counterclockwise -- would still look good. :bow: :big: :bow: :big:

Fantastic looking engine and runner. Thanks for posting that.
Not my usual kind of music but I was tapping with it. Very enjoyable.

Hi MB, don't ask me how but I accidentally deleted it instead of modifying it. A senior moment I think. Second one today oh:

Oh yah, I was hooked on Mad Magazine as a kid and the moniker "what, me worry?" always seemed to fit my attitude about life.

Thanks for the compliment Zee. After waiting a good while for the radio commercials to end I started recording at the first opportunity. Not my favorite song either, so I just turn the volume down and watch the engine run.

Polka's next time? ;D

Trout your typing inside the quotes, Its O.K. I do it all the time, and I have also hit the 'remove' box rather than 'modify' box on more than one occasion (don't ask for a specific count!).

I felt the same way, and still do! I still have piles of them stored away. Alfred E. was my hero and mentor. I can say that now, since you said it first! :big:

Get with it, or you'll just get old! 8)

Oh, and thanks for the compliment on my engine.

Boy, the crowd is very picky today.

Hm...listen to polkas or watch an engine. It's a more difficult choice than you might imagine. ;D

 

[Metal Butcher]

Very nice engine!
She will really boogie along.

Thanks Doc!
"She will really boogie along."

No need to choose at all. I'll give you both!

Very, very nice, Butcher. You've done it again.

So that's what they call music in Ohio. The mind boggles.

(Klotz's law says that the quality of life decreases monotonically. Modern music is constant proof of the assertion.)
