Elmer's number 2 twin
« on: December 27, 2025, 01:05:48 am »
This is same scale as drawn, with minor changes by myself......frame is wider,flywheelis aluminum&brass,brass sleeves in the cylinders & check out the piping, I'm very happywith those....a buddy did the anodizing in his garage , the green looks so nice.....I spent the last month or so on the engine,  Keith did the anodizing yesterday on Christmas day.....I did the final 10 minutes of machining today, assembly was simple, and this is the 1st run ....after I shot this video I got the air down to 4psi and runs very slow, with lots of power.....what ya think?

Cool little engine! Looks like a robot about to run across the  bench. Great job!

Here is a picture of the anodizing line....not shown is the DC power supply.  It's kept off to the side to keep the acid fumes away from it.
