WOW this site is awesome!!
Hello my name is Josh
Im a 27 year old machinist (10 years in the trade, including trade school).
I run high precision micro hydraulic components on Swiss type cam and cnc screw machines.
Im an avid racing enthusiast and worked part time building race engines for a local shop (until i bought a house and got married). I always wanted to build little motors for fun. So i used some spare time at work to start building compressed air motors. I got most of my motivation from Cfellows on youtube.
I stumbled across this site looking for carb designs for model engines and im very impressed that there is a site for model motor gear head machinist's like myself.
here is my 1st engine. It is a single cylinder over head rotary valve air motor
1.00" stroke X .900" bore
crankshaft is one piece of 304 stainless
I clamped it in the pickup collet of one of my machines so i could clock the RPMS on the spindle. It made just shy of 7000.
here is a little video

Im not really into making any replica stuff, i just like making screamer motors. The one im working on now is a horizontal twin, overhead rotary valve with a single piece titanium crank .625" stroke X 1.00" bore, hoping for over 12,000rpm with the higher flowing heads over my 1st design.
