While contemplating a couple of other simple engines I decided to use up some scrap to make a single acting oscillator. I didn't do a build log because a) it's too trivial to interest anyone here and b) it was quite ugly and probably shouldn't be described as engineering
All of the components except the massively oversized flywheel are from previous cock-ups, most having been sawn off other bits and almost all having plugged or re-bored holes (I think there were 7 in the cylinder
) I've yet to make a stand and will probably have to make a sensible flywheel but here is my dangling wobbler (or wobbly dangler)
It runs on next to nothing and is unnervingly quiet (no doubt the dangling helps in that regard though)!
Designing around, and making an engine from, scrap parts is surprisingly time consuming and tedious, I probably won't do it again
