Hi All, There is currently a Sieg Micro-Mill for sale on Ebay. No connection with myself, but I thought that someone here may be interested. £ 50 at the moment with 5 days to run ! dave...

. Hi all, I have been out in my digital shed dreaming up another small engine design. This one is a single cylinder long stroke engine which uses cylindrical valves on the cylinder head to control the air intake, and also forms part of the carburettor. This idea is similar to the two...

Hi All, I have put together a small engine in my digital shed ;D it has just a few simple components and is quite small and compact. I am wondering if anyone would like to have an attempt at building it ! I don't have a real shed, or any equipment. It would be a good project for the...

Hi All, I have always been interested in the reason why the fins on small STATIONARY engines are made just the same as those on moving engines. Horizontal cylinder fins on motorcycles are obviously horizontal so that the passing air rapidly clears out the heat between the roots of the...

Hi All, There is a new 2013 version of Allycad recently released. I had used the original 2D version of this software back in the 1990's when it was called Choice-cad. I found it really easy to use, and much easier to use than Auto-cad. Go over to their website and download the...

Hi all, Another experimental engine ! I have put together a video of my design of a small, three cylinder two stroke radial engine. As simple as I could make it ! It is not a large engine. For scale, the outer casing is 240 mm diameter and 160mm long. The pistons are 20mm...

Hi all, Over the last year in my spare time I have put together my design of a twin cylinder sleeve valve steam engine. This is my first attempt at a steam engine, engines of which I know little about. Maybe some wise old hands here on HMEM could look over the design and see if it has...

Hi all, I'm Dave, semi-retired mechanical designer / amateur inventor using Solidworks, with lots of spare time to myself. I don't have any machinery or any other equipment now that I have moved in to a small flat. I am looking for a design buddy and inventor type of person - model...

Anyone looking for a new long term 20 year project ? Try something like this !! :eek: One just has to admire people like Lou Chenot. All those hours of dedication and patience. A project like this is way beyond my patience limit, I would not even consider starting it. Wonder if...

I had finished my design for a prototype, and had been looking around for someone to actually make the parts for me. Two identical halves, which fit together at the edge to form an enclosing box, and a smaller base part for them to stand upright on top. The casings are just 2 mm. thick...
