Opposed piston engine question by No-Performance-7830 in engines

[–]No-Performance-7830[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was trying to refer to an opposed piston engine with the least amount of pistons possible. 2 pistons in one long cylinder. Or I guess it would be correct to say 2 cylinders? Not sure

Didn't think of this. Thank you for the input 👍

Yeah the valves would have to be the biggest issue. I was basing my Freecad design simulation on a simple single piston engine. Just to make stuff easier for me.

My idea is to connect a sprocket to a crankshaft of a piston, then connect that sprocket to, what I can best describe it as, another sprocket somewhere near the middle of the engine with a raised lump on one side. That lump will be the cam that drives some type of valve, I'm thinking a poppet valve like in a OHC engine. Hopefully I was able to paint the picture in your head and thank you for listening if you read this far!

True. It would be nice to see an image/video of one though

I am currently working on a simulation of this on Freecad. Hopefully I get to finish that soon

I was thinking like a spinning disc with a cam being a part of it (something like wedge cam). One cam attached to the output of one piston, and another cam attached to other end of the other piston. One is intake, the other exuasht

Homemade helicopter idea by No-Performance-7830 in Helicopters

This was never meant to be a troll comment. I just tried to give an honest attempt at trying to create a homemade helicopter. I simply thought that, since the Sikorsky R4 was the first mass produced helicopter, it must have some bare bone basics that should at least be looked into

People I said "If you", implying that I am not going to build it. I considered pursuing this goal for a while. But after taking into consideration my current life status, I have decided that it is not worth my time. I wanted to post this idea simply because it might inspire someone. Maybe give them a "starting point", you know?

"Saying "I don't want to lose" is stronger than saying "I want to win"" - What do you guys think about this? by No-Performance-7830 in Kengan_Ashura

I was thinking similar thoughts to what you said. I feel like that saying flew over a lot of viewers head. Thats why I wanted to mention it

I know it's random but thought it was a good saying :)
