What is missing to make ?

parts inside the distributor (hall sensor / magnets / rotor)
water pump
alternator
fuel pump
clutch
starter
flywheel gear
new needles for curbs (the first ones don't fit right way)
hmm ...

there is a lot of work :-(

Frank
 
Yeap... a lot of cool work!!! ;D

What's your idea for the alternator ? Do you think about generate eletricity with it ?

I'm researching about this... for not to depend on an external energy for ignition, do you understand ? Maybe use a battery only to stabilized the tension of the system and of surplus energy can be use to charge this battery.

What do you think ?

Cheers,

Alexandre

Wow! :bow:
Nice work on those parts!
The alternator look damn good!
Did you took any pictures of the alternator internals? th_wwp
Is it a 'real' alternator or a magneto?

Norberto
 
Hi,

no - its a BL outrunner

next time i'll made some pictures from inside of the alternator ...

It`s a beauty!
Great idea about the alternator, it should develop some real power.
If you`r planning to use it to charge the battery or powering the engine, try to find a stiff regulator, those small outrunners develop quite high power. A small one could send 50v 6A easily at 5000rpm!
PM me if you need a hand with that, i`ve done it before ;)

Frank, amazing! I have the Schillings book, could not imagine how it looks in real live. Looks absolutely great! Love the detail and finishing you put in the engine, and the speed you produce parts is unbelievable. :bow: :bow:

Hi

today i made the "air-box"
(a hole day for 2 parts - unbelievable ...)

ah - there are 2 more parts i made today:
the small tube clamps :)

Frank

[edit]
i've done a little bit more - but nothin' productive :-(
now i hnew the waterpump work at 1000rpm very good in a open circuit
(suck the water at 1000rpm nearly half a meter up ...)
i think it will work ok in a closed circuit at 500rpm)
 
Amazing engine. Can't wait to hear to roar....

A few questions:

Did you design from the ground up or have a master plan that you are following?

And what equipment do you have access to?

Thanks and many kudos to you...

Hi Doug,

i've the schilling book and there a some details of severals engines - but nothing to build one
without design it by own
given hints are build of crankshaft, cams & -shaft, bearings, ...

all the rest like alternator, waterpump, arangement of it, belt and timing wheels and the exhaust is own designed

my most important machines are a ZX7045 mill (travel 22" x 10" x 20") and a small lathe (knuth Universal 450 - 10" x 22") - all rebuild to cnc.
There are a lot of other tools like a bonelle TC-Grinder, a cnc gantry mill (selfbuild 35" x 30" x 18" with hf spindle), saw, severals welders (TIG MIG MMA acetylene) and a set of good files - man work is necessary at all despite cnc :)

Frank
 
Hi,

me again :)

yesterday there was a small meeting of some cnc-freaks in nothern germany and in the sunlight the engine looks a little bit better than in the homeshop ...

today he sent me a sall picture and i will get more next days :)

Hi Frank,

How are you ?

The general look is great!!!

When do you plan to spread news of the project?

Best Regards,

Alexandre
