Small V8

[zeeprogrammer]

Unbelievable. Excellent work.
I had no idea it was that small.

 

[Mosey]

I like it!

I suggest we add a new word to the model machinist language... "Hucks".
To hucks something would be to make it incredibly well, tiny, and beautiful.

Thanks everybody!!


I have been kicking around the idea of a "puke tube". Not sure yet.

Is that like a Mulligan or a Munson?

How are you doing Mosey? Did'nt I send you some radiator info? Did you build one yet?

 

[Mosey]

I'm doing fine! Watching you is a real pleasure.
You sent me some info on the water pump, and I'm closing in on it. The fan is up next.
Keep the chips flying!

I need to make a fan real soon also.

Well, here is a sketch of my proposed fan, turned out of Alum. What do you think?
All dimens are as per Bob Shores plans.

Mine is real close to yours.

What angle do you like for the blades? How about 7 degrees?

[stevehuckss396]

i think i'm going to cnc some curves in the blades

Mosey

Mine are pitched at 30 degrees

 

[Mosey]

Curves are not fair! :big:

Yes they are, I called it first!! ;D

 

[Mosey]

Do i have to make a special milling cutter, or buy some kind of rounding over mill to cut convex curves? Arghh! :'( ???

Without CNC I would just go with the flat blades. I made a flat fan for the Peewee and it looks and works real good. I would go with the 30 degree angle.

 

[Mosey]

Flat it is, though if it goes well, I will round the blade edges. :

Using a shop press and a 3/8" round bar as a die, I pressed the fins curve on. You will need a "Half Hole" equal to the diameter of the Die Rod plus the thickness of the material being used for the fan to act as a female die.

That is how I did it any way.

Your giving me naughty ideas about CNC'ing, stop that!
Think you can cnc an airfoil section on a single propeller blade?
