Two-Cylinder V-Twin Gas Powered Engine
|
(click on the images to enlarge)
This is a two-cylinder gas powered engine "V-twin".
V-Twin engines can run at a lower speeds due to the
combined mass of the balanced reciprocating pistons and
crosshead.
The ignition system is run using Piezo crystal which requires no batteries. The
Engine has two "injecting carburetors" and a large brass flywheel which makes
it easy and simple to start. Simple turn a knob on the gas tank and flick the
flywheel, then adjust the knob for the correct speed. Extended exhaust pipes
have been added to give a V engine type sound (a cut down V8 sound if you
like).
The moving parts of the two-cylinders (pistons, crosshead and valve rods) move
in opposite directions both balancing the engine and making a interesting
mechanical interaction.
The model engine comes complete and ready to run. Gas is not supplied but it can
run off any butane or propane source.
