Two videos of one of my IC-engines I built

Hi!

About 4 years ago, I have built this stationary 4 stroke with 87 ccm. It was my second IC-engine I've built. With "todays modern technology" like video and YouTube (Nick, wake up!) I was able ...

Well, here are the videos. The second one shows it running.

Enjoy! Nick

Nice looking engine! Is it from a casting kit? If so, what kit.

Boy! it sure took off when you goosed it with the screwdriver!

Should run a lot cooler after a few more hours. I see a lot of steam from the water hopper.

Nick,

I always think of hit-and-miss engines as a rural US product. To what extent did they exist in Germany and are there collectors for them? Here, almost any county fair will have a few restored original engines running, some with water pumps or buck saws.

No, just hammer, OA-torch, jigsaw and a MAG welder. :-) It only looks like being casted. Except the flywheel.

It isn't running that hot. You could dip your finger into the water. It's a bit could outside, so it looks like a lot of steam. Never got the water boiling.

I am not aware of engines like that being used pre WWII. But then, I'm not an expert in that field. Farms were small and if they were big enough and had the money to buy an engine, it was something like the Lanz-Bulldog. After WWII, some small 2-strokes or Diesels were built, but AFAIK, almost everything was driven from the tractor's utility shaft (right word?).

Yes, I'm aware of that. Here, we do have tractor-meetings, the English do have steam-roller meetings. ;-)

Sweet! Sounds just like being at the local old engine show. I like a hit and miss.

Uncle is bugging me to help him post pictures of his full sized (antique) hit and miss on smokstak.

Well, in the north, they had some monsters like these:

That's an interesting machine. Looks like it is being used to do something on a canal or dike by a river. Is that a winch on the bottom?

Ploughing winch.

Yes. It was used for dredging a plow (weight 30 tons) across the field. The manufacturer is "Ottomeyer" and the machine is called "Dampffplug" if you want to google for it.

I presume that was used like the British plowing engines with one either side of the field pulling the plow through the field on a cable, the weight of the engines themselves preventing them plowing directly by crossing the field.

They were real big in US boats - oh - centry before last?

That's a great looking engine.

The drum would be for ploughing. The engines were too heavy to pull the plough on soft earth. The used an anchored pulley at the other end of the field, and pulled the plough with the cable. This practice was common in the UK.

Here's another one, a different engine:

Now to Gunner Arsch, Iggiot and Larry Spongebob who say that I don't do real metalworking... Hahahahaha!

Who ever claimed you dont do real machining? Not I.

I just think you are a net nazi.

Nick Mueller is lying, as usual, as I never claimed that he did not do any real metalworking. (though, admittedly, this nice looking engine does not serve any real purpose).

The purpose of it is to make you look even more stupid! In case you don't understand the purpose of a display model.

Oh, and adding to your stupidity: Didn't you shout out loud here that you plonked me? Ah, forgot, you are a lamer and a bloody old liar, nothing new. :-)))
