BRIANS RADIAL ENGINE RUNNING

This is a steam or compressed air engine that I recently designed and built. It does not have the connecting rods "stacked" beside each other, but rather thy all run to a common hub which orbits on an eccentric "throw" on the crankshaft. It is the sixth model engine that I have built in the last two years. So far I have built a single cylinder/single acting oscillating engine, a single cylinder/double acting oscillating engine, a rocking beam engine, a hit and miss steam engine, and a twin cylinder horizontal mill style engine.---Complete plans for the rocking beam engine are published in "The Home Shop Machinist" magazine, Sept/Oct and Nov/Dec 2009.

what use does this machine have??

[BrianAngusRupnow]

@scottiegibson Well, to be trite, it runs the bubble machine, which is another one of my videos. In reality, it is a working model engine and has no real purpose other than to please me, the person who designed and built it. You have to be a model machinist to really appreciate it.---Brian

Yes, this is the one that is published in the January 2011 edition of Home shop Machinist magazine.----I should have put the link in the magazine article.--Brian Rupnow

@BrianAngusRupnow i may even be able to reverse engineer the P.E.M. to work in an automobile.

@BrianAngusRupnow the machine that i am building (currently still in process) will impress the engineering world, and totally put the oil and gas industry against the wall. it primarily works on motion and electricity. also has enough HP to operate a 50 Kw wind generator(without wind, the blades, and the unit will be on the ground). i call my machine the "P.E.M." perpetual electrical motion. 3 of the parts has to have a tol. of +.000 and -.003.

I just finished building a half-scale version of your engine. It works as well as the full-sized model I built, and the other guys in the shop want to make their own engines now.

Thanks again for the design!

I just got my latest issue of HSM about a week ago and I have already built this engine from the plans you present there. I runs great and was sooo easy to build! I didn't start on it until I got the second part of the article because I wanted to get it all done at one time. It only took 20hrs to build and went together and ran perfectly!

Thanks!!!

Amazing work!

This would be the engine that is written up in Home Shop Machinist? Can't wait for the next issue to complete the project!
