Re: 18 cylinder HMT micro!
Its deffinately impressive, however his model looks to be far more in depth than any of the projects in the backround... kind of like a nuclear chemist entering in a 3rd grade science fair...

Re: 18 cylinder HMT micro!
so does the ---- run or what?

Re: 18 cylinder HMT micro!
apparently not....
the projects incomplete. |
Re: 18 cylinder HMT micro!
Current state of the building program The model is approximately 90% complete with the major structures in place including; crankshafts, connecting rods, cylinder liners, timing/phasing gearing, scavenge blower, exhaust manifolds, spark plugs, distributors, oil and water pumps. There are no castings used. The entire model is machined from solid bar stock and “made to look like” castings. The engine is currently assembled with tight slide fit pistons (without rings) installed to check the accuracy of machining and assembly and to prove that it is possible to assemble the engine with all piston assemblies fitted to the rods. I am happy to report that it does go together and that it rotates freely. The oil pumps together with the full flow filtration system are complete together with the manifolds for the oil spray to the crankshafts and scavenge return from the two top crank cases. The water pump, with feed and return plumbing is also complete. The scavenge blower together with pressure relief and control regulators is now in place. The current project is the ignition equipment. The 18 sparkplugs are fitted and if the engine is to run at the modest speed of 5,000 rpm it will require 90,000 sparks/min. If it were ever to get to 20,000 rpm (it is tiny inside) that would be 360,000 sparks/min! I am building a six-element infra-red optical trigger unit to mount on the end of the bottom crank. Each of these triggers will control one of six CDI modules. The final major project will be the production pistons with the 144 rings; 2 compression and 1 oil control. In practice I may not populate all of the grooves. |
Re: 18 cylinder HMT micro!
I want to see it run. Then I'll bust out with the reacharound. Hit 10 pounds first old man. :4

Re: 18 cylinder HMT micro!
Wow that is just nuts.I read the whole article and that is a intresting engine design.

Re: 18 cylinder HMT micro!
lol!!! its ------- 2 stroke! he took the easy way out. Ive already posted mini v8's and v12's thay were supercharged with a hand built supercharger and they ran. and had things like valves and camshafts.... 2 stroke is deffinatly the easy way out on that project.

Re: 18 cylinder HMT micro!
thats pretty cool, but this is cooler. http://www.weberprecision.com/weberprecision1_001.htm
listen to that little sucker. (there's a vid link in there) |

Re: 18 cylinder HMT micro!
"With 18 cylinders having a bore of 5.125" and a stroke of 7.25" per piston or 14.5" per cylinder, this engine had a swept volume capacity of 5,384 cubic inches or 88.3 liters. There were 3 stages of development from the initial design with engine driven blower for scavenging then being turbo-charged, turbo-charging with charge cooling and finally “Compounding” using an axial turbo-compressor unit within the triangular central void.
The performance ranged from 1,650 bhp at 1,500 rpm for locomotives, to 2,500 bhp at 2,200 rpm “sprint rating” for FTB`s (bmep 92.lbf/in2) both mechanically blown, to 3,700 bhp at 2,200 rpm (bmep 130 lbf/in2) when turbo-charged and charge cooled. Note that the complex “Deltic Compound” prototype reached 5,600 bhp output on test during 1956." Funny how he took a gigantor engine and made it miniature... 88.3 liters! |
Re: 18 cylinder HMT micro!
This is pretty cool as well
