  • It almost resembles a helix drive engine.

  • @timextwo

    Well, maybe, but with a helix drive you cannot transform continiously up and down translation into rotation of one direction. The helix principle was used by Coffman starters (e.g. Spifire fighters) which had to do only a few revolutions while the piston was going down. Thanks for your interest and sorry for my late answer.

  • that must take a bit of precision to get right

  • Hallo Harry, I think the same. Unfortunately I dont know, whether it ever has been built as a ship's engine.
