Welcome to ModelEngineMaker !If you have problems registering or logging in, please use the contact menu option to request assistance.
I've decided to release my engine design. Here is a 2D animation showing the general idea, I hope someone will enjoy looking at it and maybe make a model. If anyone does want to make one, I am able to help with the coils and magnets for the generator side.Any questions welcome, best wishes.Camerart.
interesting idea, is it IC or steam ? Also 2 problems with stuff 1, the oil companies will buy up the patents then sit on them so they can still sell oil products for inefficient 19 century infernal combustion engines..........2, the chinese will copy it and make them without due regards to the inventor.....Hope this is not too negative sounding. What about lubrication as there will be no splash as with con rods....how is it started........ Good luck however.!!
Hello Camerart.It looks a very nice design however " prior art " might just be a problem. The Körting Engine was essentially a single cylinder version, there's a nice picture of one in Rankin Kennedy's Modern engines and power generators of 1905.I also see some problems arising in the animation. As the compressed air is admitted it will have a tendency to go straight out of the exhaust ports, not a problem if you're going to use Diesel fuel directly injected but the complete opposite for fuel/air mix. I also notice that during the air compression stroke the ports are open, so some practical means would be needed to keep them shut until the required time. Kind regards, Graham.
Lots of unusual and innovative engine designs in these threads on autosport;http://forums.autosport.com/topic/74960-new-engine/http://forums.autosport.com/topic/200769-patat-2-stroke-turbo-diesel/http://forums.autosport.com/topic/199557-sleeve-valves-vs-opposed-pistons/http://forums.autosport.com/topic/197904-patre-rotary-engine/Worth wading through as there is some impressive stuff.Simon
Making models takes time so people normally make models of what they want to make and they start by looking at the drawings.If you want someone to make a model for you of a specific design there are people who will do so but they require payment by the hour.Jo
