Congratulations on a very successful build and run!
Beautiful craftsmanship all around.

What's next?

Hi Sid, thanks.


My supplier told me, there should be a crankcase hidden in this lump pf aluminium.

I have every faith that you will find it in there soon enough!

Today I have made the basement for the generator.
In truth the computer has done it.
Waiting for the ordered flat belt now.
A pulley for the generator was also made.
Kind Regards
Achim

Hi everybody,
I have got the belt and did the final diorama work.
A vintage switch, some fake gauges for voltage and ampere....
The engine is running with the extra belt drive and the with "no load" running generator same way as before.
Some old fuel barrels also added, sure necessary, because just a couple of minutes ago the engine stopped with empty fuel cell.

Kind Regards
Achim

Love the diorama, Achim!   :ThumbsUp: :popcorn:

The electrical pannel is great.  And the fire extinguisher looks the part!

A nice engine with many interesting additional units.
Maybe I can take a look at the engine at an exhibition sometime.

(The fire extinguisher doesn't have a test sticker! You know, everything here needs a test sticker! 😁)

Excellent  :praise2:  :praise2: Did you get any useful output from the generator (a couple of LEDs)?
Best regards

Roger

Kim, Per, Micheal, Roger and Ron, thanks for popping in and the friendly comments.


A member of our German Forum pushed me bit to show some electrical action also.
The generator will not give the right output for some constant light, so I got the recommendation to create some fake action too.
Here the quick and dirty final result now.
Kind Regards
Achim

Hi Achem, always good to see the story complete. 

Perhaps you could use rechargeable batteries and connect some diodes so the generator charges the batteries when it runs.  Then when you switch on the light it would not really be fake.

It’s been a wonderful build to follow.  Thanks for showing it so well.
