another Snow engine

Fantastic. I'd completely missed this thread and enjoyed catching up.
Really glad you added the operator stand. Nice detail.

Someone should put a word into Das Deutsches Museum.

Dave, Don thanks for the always friendly comments.
The build is a bit on hold currently, I have got my Deckel SO clone and had to bulid some new furniture.

Zee, thanks for watching and the friendly comments. I am followind along with your Monitor bulid also, the plans are in my files since a year or even more, but as Chuck mentioned 'So many projects, so little time............'

Hi Everybody and Happy New Year.
Yesterday I have been in the shop again.
First I have made the last studs for the cylinder/cylinder head connection, 32 (plus 2 spares)  pieces over all, these jobs are not my favourites.
After this, nothing special, a gimmick only.
The running in procedure is still ongoing. The day before yesterday I killed my little Chinese e-motor, due to to much voltage supplied by my new variable power supply, operated by a crazy guy. A quick last minute stop in an electronic shop has given a replacement. An the operator has a strictly 14 Volt limit now.

....here the gimmick in motion.

That's very beautiful, Achim. The smoothest runner I've seen. I turned the volume up, and it still didn't make a sound. Impressive. Cheers, Hugh.

Oh, that is smooth.

Happy new year.

Hi Hugh, this motion is a fake only. It is running, driven by the e-motor with 50 RPM. If it will be fired, as an IC engine (hopefully), than there are 900 RPM expected.
Concerning the sound, this small e-motor, with the gears in it, creates such a horrible noise, that I have deleted the sound in the video complete.
So, donīt trust the shine.
Happy New Year

It's looking great Achim! 
And pretty soon, you'll have it running under its own power!  Then we'll need to hear the audio that goes with the video

Looks like your just about ready to finalize this one Achim. Nice and smooth............

Looking good Achim    You need a bigger motor  I have been using a 6V accumulator up to now, but Conrad had a free delivery offer so I bought a 12V 7AH one. It will run my horizontal engine up to at least 2000 rpm

Hi Roger, in the meantime, with some patience, the motor is fine for 30 Minutes running time in one stint. The second cylinder is also more "free"now and I have reduced the voltage to 13,5 and the Amp limit to 1,5 max.
Today it was running already 45 minutes in one stint, motor temperature under 30° C. So we are on the right way now.

Sounds like you are getting there.  Still enjoying following along!

Cheers, Joe

I'll accept your explanation, but it does move nicely. Hugh.

Hi Hugh, I like this smooth motion also very much.


Today was cam shaft bracket day and test assembly of the cam shaft.
I am happy that it is finaly at its right place.
Everything seems to match. The brackets will go for anodising tomorrow, so next to do is a separable shaft connection.
Engine was driven the whole day today by the little e-motor, no further issues.
