Ray HasBrouck #10
« on: March 05, 2020, 07:20:19 pm »
Finished my build of Ray HasBrouck's #10 engine modified for compressed air.
Joint effort with my friend to get the very fussy valve timing just right for smooth running.

Ron Ginger helped with some full size drawings which made things eaiser for the build.

beautiful engine down to the last detail1 i am curious if you have cnc machines or old school? I don't think i could do the engraving with my equipment, although i must admit, i wouldn't have a clue how to program a cnc machine either. What did you change in the design to make it for compressed air?
 Incredible work and detail.

Thanks guys for all the nice replies !

I have a Tormach mill which I used for some of the parts and the engraving. The bulk of the parts were done on manual mill and lathe.

I eliminated the feed water pump and changed the oiling piping. The cross head tube is without the large side opening that would have been used for driving the pump.

I plan on being at NAMES in April and will display the engine there.

Looking forward to seeing you at NAMES this year.

I will attend, but I will not exhibit.

Thanks for posting the video. As others have said, the sound it makes is great.

What psi were you running it on in the video?

BTW: I subscribed to your YouTube Channel. You have some fantastic builds on there. Are they all yours?

Regards,
Charlie

Look me up when you are at the show. Hopefully, I'll be next to George Britnell again.

Running around 40-45 PSI in the video.

Thanks for subscribing and the engines are mine.
