Home built engine in old Harley Davidson Hummer


My neighbor built this little engine in the machine shop in his garage. He built everything except the cylinders, which are some old Briggs cylinders if I remember right. He built everything including the transmission. Notice the little drip oiling system mounted back by the rear cylinder that feeds through the copper lines. Also the U-shaped intake manifold that feeds from the carb on the other side. You gotta hand it to this guy, he is one hell of a machinist and fabricator.

Supercharged home made Straight Eight by Desperate Dan Vid 2


Built in a shed, it fired up first go. I was hoping it would sound real lumpy like a drag engine, but it runs too smooth, and it's too quiet even with unsilenced 9" pipes! The timing was a pain to sort out the Rover distributor runs backwards, I had to take the heads off to work out the firing order!!! See the shed it was built in on Vid 1. Added May 2012: OK, my nails are dirty, maybe because I'm an engineer & build stuff? Maybe your nails are clean because you can't build eff-all & just sit behind your computer? C'mon folk, get a life.

Model Engine Home Made 1936 Midget Magazine plans.wmv


Home built four stroke engine. Built using drawings from 1936 issue of Popular Mechanics magazine. Wood patterns were made, then used to make sand molds. Old car pistons and transmission cases were broken up and melted in a small propane furnace. The molten aluminum was poured into the sand molds. Next each part was machined on a 1941 South Bend lathe. Using an old model airplane engine spark plug and coil, two D batteries were hooked up to create 3 volts for ignition. Contact points are from a 1977 GM V-8 engine. The fuel tank is an old glue can.

Home Made Engine, The Homebrew Hvid Engine 1


Made from scratch from an original design, the Homebrew Hvid is based on a circa 1900 engine design by a Dutchman named Jan Brons. Brons designed the engine to get around the patents of Rudolph Diesel. Brons sold US patent rights to his engine to a man named Hvid who made some changes in the design then licensed companies like Sears-Roebuck (Thermoil brand engines) to make the one-cylinder compression ignition flywheel engines. This video was made during fueling tests, before it had run on kerosene or Diesel fuel. My website is: eldensengines.com

My 1st Home Built Steam Engine


This is the result of my first attempt to make a steam engine from scratch. The base was the second casting I've done, the rest of the parts were made from scrap I had around. The only purchased parts are needle valve, copper tube and fittings, and a few bolts. Fun to build and only cost $10 bucks or so. Check this link below for the plans I got my idea from: chestofbooks.com

ST50 homebuilt gas turbine, jet engine


Heres my Cummins ST50 based gas turbine. I built this after building a couple of "traditional" turbocharger based jets. I removed the cast iron scroll and fabricated the turbine shroud, nozzle guide vanes and all the other combustor components from 321 and 304 stainless. Sorry guys, I dont have plans drawn up for it. I did one pull test with it using a furniture dolly and fish scale.. probably not the most accurate method but still managed about 60lbs. It currently runs on propane. Next on the list of things to do is to install the oil cooler and fan kit, and finish the swap to kerosene. Pics of the build here- photobucket.com . . .

Turbo Jet homebuilt model engine


Originally designed in 1965 as an engineering student project. The idea being that function follows form using off the shelf inexpensive parts. See pics at following link: s805.photobucket.com The Rebel turbo-jet Engine 1. Designed by David C. Chovanak as a project in pre-Engineering Frsehman student @ Nevada Southern University in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Now UNLV) 2. . Blue-print completed March 1965, construction August , 1965 - February, 1967. 3. Parts were derived from off-the-shelf components. Design philosophy was, " function follows form. " For example, the 'compressor' was a Hoover 6000 rpm hand held auto carpet cleaner vacuum unit, the exhaust guides and turbine was built from stainless steel apple core slicers, the mainframe, from the Handi-butler accessory kit of a Kirby vacuum system. The combustion chamber is a hardware funnel and a family size tuna fish can and asbestos tape. The bearings are copper alloy plumbing fittings. The shaft is shaft quality steel rod. The exhaust nozzle is a plated steel flour sifter and the exhaust cone inside is a flat head V-8 chrome oil cap Prototype named "The Rebel" after NSU athletic mascot, Chovanak was on the University track team '65-'66. Description : The Rebel is a 'paddle wheel' centrifical-flow compresed engine. Noisy, but can 'beat' a large volume of air at velocity. Air guides/ diffusers in the Kirby section slow down the velocity and increases the pressure so that the combustion chamber can further raise the pressure <b>...</b>

Flame Sucker , vacuum engine, built by a 12 year old.... with a little help from Dad.


No CNC's, here! Hand built father/son project. This one is a tricky one, so it's not a good first or second build IMO. We recommend phosphor bronze for the piston, and SS seems to be great for the valve. There are simpler ones that don't have the 20 degree angle on the body, and don't have the one piece crank/cam with a 43 degree offset on them. But, we can both be proud of this one. It runs at about 2600 RPM's. It is somewhat fussy, and needs a little lovin' between runs. Things can come loose, careful lube, etc. Fun build though!

Home Built Personal Helicopter Takes Flight For First Time


AviationExplorer.com - This homemade personal helicopter is built on a 3 pole support structure. At the top are 2 rotor blades that rotate opposite of each other to prevent the common helicopter characteristic of having the aircraft pull to one side therefore needing to apply pedal input. This homemade helicopter does not have a contained structure fuselage but more of a small seat to sit on as the pilot is under the main engine housing and all controls are mounted on the pole structure handles.

Electric Bike 3-Phase BLDC Hub Motor Controller Home Build Open Source Project Part #1-Prototype PCB


I have been very pleased with my DAYMAK AUSTIN electric motor bike. This is the fourth season of riding around the city streets and local highways. I have had a few electrical/electronic issues which I repaired quickly. However as with all new things there is room for improvement. Wouldn't low speed reverse be nice for backing your bike into the shed or garage. How about going FASTER with MORE torque. After all that then there is the sealed lead acid battery pack. Control of the low battery cut off voltage without starting a fire. Maybe regenerative braking to extend battery capacity. A faster, quicker charger would be nice. How about a solar charger. You'll want to checkout my 12V to 48V DC-DC inverter charging circuit that uses solar energy stored in a 12V battery and charges my 48V battery pack for free at the end of this video. I have made a few of these as well as a RV charger that charges the ebike's 48V to 72V battery while the RV is being driven from town to town. I'm not the only crazy eletronics guy who thinks that these new electric vehicles are the way to go. Well I set out to make my own controller with a few improvements. I started by making my own 3-phase brushless DC hub motor controller circuit and board PC board layout. Exposed, developed, etched the PC board from scratch. Drilled out all the holes and assembled the parts into the controller board. Using my in-circuit programmer debugger I wrote up the machine language program and downloaded it. Bingo a <b>...</b>

Amazing turbine STOL homebuilt airplane


This is Scott Ehni's custom Zenith CH701 airplane (that he scratch-built from plans) powered by the lightweight Garrett JFS 100-13A Turboshaft engine, putting out at least 90 BHP at a prop speed of 3100 rpm, burning about 12 gph. The small APU will work on almost any liquid that will burn. The best off-airport fuel choice is a mix of diesel and unleaded regular gas as it burns a bit cleaner. Awesome turbine jet engine sound on the experimental aircraft! Details on this custom engine installation: www.zenithair.com Details on the Zenith STOL CH 701 plane: www.zenithair.com

10 watt DIY Stirling engine,1685 rpm!


I've been working to raise the speed of this little engine and checking that it will cope with the increased stresses. This video shows that it can take it. I'm running it on a Bunsen burner hooked to a propane bottle to be able to run the heater head red hot. Water is circulating through the cooling jacket from a tiny pump. I had cut the base off so placed steel wool pads under the legs to absorb any vibrations. I'm pretty pleased with how this engine is doing and I'm thinking it's about maxed out. Next step - to measure the power output. [Update: max power = 10.4 watts @ 1000 rpm, measured on the shaft; Max torque = 1.06 lb-in. @ 540 rpm]

I've upgraded my little testbed Stirling engine with ball bearings on the crank, stainless steel wool displacer/regenerator firmly fastened in place, a safer alcohol burner, and external water cooling from a tiny submersible pump. The result is a fast little engine with a good bit of power and torque (as yet unmeasured). This engine has been used a lot and is getting to the end of it's useful life, but the next gen engine is in the works. Check out my other video and see how I adapted this one to run on solar energy by inverting it - 1000+rpm in October sun!
