Small Vertical Engine by George Britnell (June's EOTM)
« on: June 12, 2020, 12:38:05 am »
Had a little fun with this, finding random small objects for the video. Sorry it runs too quietly, so it's pretty much a silent film... you might be able to hear it when I crank it all the way up to 3 PSI  :D

An absolutely stellar piece of micro-machinery!

Runs as smooth as a perfectly built and tuned engine that is ten times it size ..... Brilliant!!!

that really is a nice runner , it is very difficult to get small thins to run smoothly, you have more room for intolerance with larger engines....this one is a dream.
