Radial Engine Jacobs L4MB "Shakey Jake" Test Run

[Bamchucknorris]

see if you could create a radial engine car, like the monaco trossi (google it)

Looks like it scared the poop out of you the first time it lit. Cool stuff. I've flown behind one of these.

I bet if you put a small flywheel on the crankshaft, itll run much better. If not, you can find a cut down prop which will act the same way as well as keep the cylinders cool.

So what r ur plans for the beauty? Any idea on the hp it makes?

[av8navig8]

It is rated at 245 H.P. @ 2200 RPM for take off power, and 225 H.P. @ 2000 RPM. I realy have not decided what I'll use it for yet. Perhaps a 90 gallon Margarita mixer?

Uhhh how do you get that huge engine to turn over with a wuss puss drill? Does it store energy in a high-speed starting fly wheel or something? AMAZING.

Yes, .... the gear reduction in the hand crank inertia starter is phenominal. I have the flywheel exposed, and turn that with the drill motor. It turns the crankshaft a fraction of the flywheel speed, but gets the job done.
