Compressed air three cylinder radial engine

[ironman]

This being a models forum I thought I should post a video of a model engine of my own design. click here to see it. 

   I was looking for other model radials on the internet and this is how I found this forum.  Is cfellows still around? I enjoyed his posts on his radial engine   Ironman

Yep, I'm still around.  I'm in the early stages of designing a compessed air powered V8 engine.  It'll be fairly small, with a bore of 3/8".  The reason for this is so that it won't use so much air.  I hate having the compressor kick on after 10 seconds of running.

Your radial looks nice.  Couldn't tell from the video, were your castings aluminum?

All castings were cast iron except for the slipper bearings they were bronze

I envy you!  It would be nice to make my own iron castings.
