Feliks is well known around the engine forums, funny guy - and again you missed the point, Feliks had his engine (more than one actually) up and running before he asked if anyone wanted to help him develop further after his main engine (which he was running in a rally) blew up and he is not a wealthy man by any stretch. Feliks would have been happy with a few hundred bucks to rebuild his engine not the squillions that 3D graphic'ed you beaut websites seek - that don't have real running engines!!
Thanks for the popularization Cheapracer my engine.
But I see that I did not write a great deal about him.
Well, yes: The first prototype of the engine, as did graduate work at the completion of the Technical University of Cracow. It was a practical part, which is making a prototype and part - theoretical description of it all.
To make this prototype did not receive
any money from the University. only lent to me Andoria S101 engine and dynamometer type Junkers water.
This very primitive prototype and its construction of the startup and describing it took about one year.
He demonstrated one thing - that this kind of engine running, without any major problems.
Started working at the first five revolutions of the crankshaft...
Now, yes. may, together with the second prototype design implementation and running I did for 3 years. About 1000 days, each day from 9 am to 10 wieczór.Myslałem sometimes it will be a more or less took as much as first prototype. but we were a little wrong, because a completely new type of engine, but sometimes requires a large number of unexpected work. in particular, have already had the concrete strength ( founded about 100 hp ). no, and when it wanted to build too much, " bake a roast on one stone. " This also went beyond the magic circle cylinder of the " valves " was to give a big advantage....
I was like:first start the engine has resulted in only 3 weeks after the first launch attempt. For these three tygonie the engine during the filming of the pacemaker did not draw either a blue cloud !.
If not my very positive experience with the launch of the first prototype, in spite of my determination przypuszcalnie gave me this second prototype. Imagine three weeks filming, 10 major renovations starter, a daily charge batteries overnight... and not a
single blue cloud ! Special translucent spark plugs and nothing!
And finally came up. The " combustion chamber " was raging just a whirlwind of sound speed, which resulted in blowing the ionized air between the spark plug electrodes, and this prevented a sparks !
Similar problems were entirely with the selection of the fuel nozzle grained to the carburetor. Original carburetor jets bmw2002 Ti is 135 for cylinder 500 cc. I tried 135 to 240 and the engine worked, but in general did not respond to throttle the volume !!
I thought it was some rezonase are on the exhale, and did his doctorate from the exhaust note...
It was only by chance turned out to be the engine still has far too many relatively gasoline into the air..
The engine would normally not come into work only at the tip... 80 !!
Therefore, if it was not the case, then I'd never of the values ??do not think.
It also shows how much air flow to the carburetor is...
And then I realized that instead of the 100 hp, I got a 250 hp...
But it all went on with the necessary alterations 3 years..
Once I figured that a good mechanic replacing the head gasket in the engine Lotus takes for the job about 1000 pounds. I think this work can be done in one day. So I counted my job for a thousand days. I received a 1000 000 pounds for the same job.....
Of course, but then I did the measurements on the bench, but despite their efforts, after measuring the basic engine torque disappeared. Of course, the bottom of the main piston rod bearing.
Once again, stripped him, invented all the parts, I mentioned an important and all the shells and the engine is ready for further demonstration. dynamometer measurements are meaningless, because you know that this construction of the lower piston that can not stand.
But the engine is smooth and ready for demonstration, how it works without a load. I think what the skilled we will see during the show, enough to earn themselves a very positive view on it.
The main premise which provided a second prototype, is the two cylinder 600 ccm engine shall be designed to withstand 250 HP at 10,000 rpm. And it may be a variable compression ratio in a wide range.
I invite you all to see, as the engine is running, if it could help in something.
