    Been away for a while

    Hi All, I used to use this forum all the time until I got made redundant and it took away my facilities to make anything but I have been working on an engine I made a while ago and managed to get it running yesterday I will put up a video when I get a chance its a scaled down stirling engine.

    Cooling an engine

    Thanks Coilmotorworks, you may be right just tried to fit some sort of fan detail on the flywheel within the capability of a 3 axis milling machine. It may end up just looking good but if it can a least move the air in some sort of fashion is probably better than nothing at all.

    Cooling an engine

    Thanks Johnny1320, The engine i am designing was never intended to be cooled as it is a flame licker and it my design for a four cylinder one, so these fins were added if they make a marginal difference in moving the air then its better than nothing thanks for your input. Chizz

    1/2 scale Jan Riddler engine in progress

    Hi Thanks for the interest, Hopper have some tiny bearings with an OD of 5mm and an ID 1.5mm they look the great. Ian hope the engine has the momentum to run fingers crossed will be adding some pictures soon of the bearing house and stand.

    Cooling an engine

    Thanks for all the info the engines cylinders will get pretty hot so to prolong the engines running it needs to be cooled.
