Hi all,

I am looking for a model engineer who would like a new challenge to make something different.

I am a Solidworks mechanical designer, I have designed a model engine in my digital shed which I think will work !

This is a horizontal mill engine, petrol or spirit for fuel, pre-charged air inlet.

I would love to make it myself, but I live in a small flat and don't have any machinery of my own, not even an electric drill !

Need small lathe, four-jaw chuck, small milling machine, and maybe a rotary table.

The builder will keep and own the model 100%.

I only wish to record a video of the finished model running … hopefully !

I will be happy to contribute 50% of the material costs.

Materials are Aluminium and Brass, small amount of stainless bar, Oilite bushes.

Have made an animation of the model and put it on to You-tube, so people can see how it works.

Some details of the little engine are written below the video.

High quality drawings for every part will be supplied on A3 size paper.

I am in Andover, Hampshire, someone living within reasonable travelling distance would be convenient, I don't have a car.

" Challenge to make something different " = It is not a steam engine ! Ha Ha.

The pre-charged air system here allows the engine to fire on EVERY stroke.
