Do you ship to the uk????Would love this engine for a project:)

[LineyMachine]

@NineInchRear1

Yes we ship to the UK.

I'm a machinist and I'm pretty sure I could make that.

[LineyMachine]

Available in machinist kit for or just buy and download plans at our website. Please see link above in description.

I immediately thought of a pilot blowing into a tube to power his plane.

Love the sound!

if it were to be put on a moving vehicle, how fast would it go

[JRDeValk]

how big of a prop can it turn ?

@JBofBrisbane

Thanks for telling me that man, that was a big mistake.

@JBofBrisbane Hi there, this IS a four stroke, albeit using an external source of power, in this case compressed air. Were it two stroke, it would be piston-ported. Here we can clearly see two overhead poppet type valves, (per cylinder) with their associated rocker arms and pushrods. I do recall a two stroke model aircraft engine with a piston actuated inverted poppet valve for induction and a piston port for exhaust. These ran on pressurised co2.

[JBofBrisbane]

@MrBowsmith - That would hold true for a 4-stroke fuel-burning engine, but not a 2-stroke steam/compressed air engine like this. More to do with spreading out the reaction forces so that the engine doesn't try to do the "twist" when it runs.

[JBofBrisbane]

@slobhinav - Umm - turboprops don't have pistons, they're gas turbines.

[JBofBrisbane]

@KenMacMillan - Running on compressed air.

torch it to a hindenburg zeppelin house to live in the sky

[wowlooktv]

what hp are you guys getting at what psi, and whats the torque

[ZebbMassiv]

That is INSANE!!!!
