  • Sweet sound! Is that a lathe cross slide connected to the pushrod? genius! Later, Rick.

  • @popnstart Yes, that's the compound slide from a Hardinge HLVH lathe! Good eye.

  • What would happen if you didn't let it "miss"?

  • @slurp812 It would overspeed, this is the speed governor system.

  • I dare you to stick your hand in there. Im kidding, dont actually do it.

  • @LakeErieFising Funny you should mention that, I actually did get my hand ripped open by this beast about 5 years ago requiring over 150 stiches.

  • Great!

  • Forgive me for writing this I luv that engine but it sound like the first stag flim evermade like a creeky old bed and someone huffing

  • it's kind a fast stoping, why?

  • whats the rpm and torque

    what can this convert into

    how much fuel is used

  • You know.. Some people keep those little boxes in their bedroom that sound like rushing water to help them sleep. Personally, I'd take one of these. Very soothing sound :) That or fire, because something about crackling and popping fire is very comforting for me. Anyways, awesome engine! Now you just need to rig up an old pumpjack in your yard so you can give it something to do ;)

  • @USRIFLEM1 Damn.. That sucks. Could have been worse though..
