Lamp Post Engine

I like that! Very nice work.

Rob

thats brilliant very unusual

It is an interesting engne on its own but the lamp standard is a great twist.

Perhaps you can hide the wires, or at least make them cotton covered to be in period.

A very nice and unique engine, look forward to the video of it in action.

Way cool. Imagine a world with one of them chuffing away on every street corner. Heaven.

I Like that very much

Stew

Great fun and nicely executed

Rod

Very nice work!

That's brilliant! Sorry for the pun, but it really is

That is wonderful, I am so impressed. Well done

Geoff

Well done Nigel, a really interesting design. Can’t wait for its serialisation. Maybe in MEW ? It’s certainly a project I would like to embark on, when I get other jobs off the bench that is !! Cheers for sharing it.

Very nice indeed. I love the way the generator runs off the rim of the fly wheel, makes for a very neat and compact installation.

Peter

Very nice.

Another little tip for getting a clear finish on perspex or any other type of acrylic is the same as you did with the sandpaper is when finished use something like T cut for cars and rub that on while the lathe is turning. I make pens using acrylic but I use Burnishing cream which is basically the same as T Cut. Even for the drilled hole this can work but use a wooden dowel with it

Really nice engine and a nice unique idea. I don't think I would ever try this myself but I believe you can polish acrylic with a naked flame!!! Flame polishing!

Very nice, a good looking model. Well done

Lovely

I can't stop looking at this engine.

Small details catch the eye.

The twisted con rod, the soft edges on the valve coupling, the fluted column.

Sumptuous. Like many others I eagerly anticipate more details

Geoff

Attractive, fun and instructive model - very nice.

Beautitiful and different engine. Being a model it would surely have to be published in Model Engineer. I wonder why Jim C suggested MEW, perhaps because he subscribes to it?

.

Maybe he wants to use one that size as a work-light on his lathe or mill

... then ‘surely’ it would need to be in MEW
