Caffeine free diet coke? not quite red-bull chuck!

I seem to have an aversion to water, so I drink a six pack of diet coke a day. I have enough trouble sleeping as it is so I have to stay away from the stuff with caffeine after about 4pm.

Thanks, Dave. I seem to be finding other diversions in my shop right now that's keeping me from this vehicle. Think I've run into a wall on the design of this thing so I'm doing other things until inspiration hits me again...

Great project Chuck! It will be interesting to watch it come together.

You probably have seen this guys work. It may give you some idea's/inspiration.

Have fun!

 
A new video was posted yesterday of the steam trike I'm hoping to model mine after. His is a three cylinder engine and mine is only 2, but I think my displacement will be about the same as his, assuming his to be 10mm bore and 20mm stroke. Also, his overall gear ratio is about 12 to 1 and mine will be more like 20 to 1, maybe higher.

Hi Chuck

This project looks very interesting. I will have to keep an eye on this.
Good luck with the design block.

That's the website that got me interested in this whole model engineering thing. I had disposable income before that and now that's been taken care of. ;D
