Tiny Diesel Engine
11/19/12 at 13:39:16

OPERATIONAL V-12 DIESEL ENGINE THAT FITS IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND.

Took 1220 hours (a year and a half?) to make the 261 pieces. Note the end-loaded crankshaft into the block (like an Offy), 12 individual cylinder heads, TINY rods and pistons, dual "underhead" cams with pushrods to rockers in the heads. And, he did break-in runs using an electric drill driving the crankshaft!

Even if you're not an engineer, you'll love this!

A lot of the old model airplane motors didn't have rings either (for instance, small COX units). I'm not sure what the clearance or tolerance was, but the pistons were very well fitted to the bore. Of course, these were 2 strokes and so didn't have an oil separation problem. I wore a few of those out, and they held pretty good compression even after a fair amount of use. On these small machined demo motors they may not even put oil in the crank or worry about blowby, but even so, it would be a splash distribution system at best.

Re: Tiny Diesel Engine Reply #9 - 11/19/12 at 18:31:39 Im well aware of 2 stroke plane engines w/ no rings. I have an Enya 35 Ive put over 6 gallons thru. But these pistons had ring grooves. Ive never seen a scale diesel & ever model engine running on doesel Ive seen has a threaded plate, to screw up & down, to drop & raise compression.

Always wanted one too because you didn't need fiddle with a glow plug or battery. I remember years ago, there was a company who even made a Wankel rotary. I once saw one in a model shop, and wanted to buy it just to take home and disassemble.

In those ringless two strokes the oil acted as a ring, not all of it burned, which is why you had oil all down the side of your plane.
