Hello All, first post. Very informative site. A little about me, married, dog, no kids yet. Employeed by a pretty well known Japanesse power sports manufacturer. Bout 6 months ago we closed on our house, and now i have a little garage, 24x24' so im stock pilling tools. 8x12, x2, foundry ect...
Im about 3/4 of the way though my first build, doing a LMS launch engine, im about done, minus the part(s) where a rotary table is needed. Then im planning on a webster.
In the mean time, and or on cold days. Im designing a verticle shaft 6 cyl raidal air compressor. Im basically looking for design ideas, and considerations. Was just trying to use simple common check valves for the valving. And was considering changing the head so the inlet actually comes from inside the crank case..? like the inlet tubes run along side the cyl wall, or hallow out some bolts/rods and just put a web looking thing on top and have the bolts be the air inlets.
See the attached 3d.pdf if you click the pic you can rotate/zoom ect... This is bascially sketching for me that model took me about half an hour to make, so if big changes need to happen its no biggie not much time lost.
Be candid, im just spit balling at this point.
