a mamod v8 steam engine build.....

[Skyrocket]

it all started out with a question, could it be done with a mamod?
so i built a simple horizontally opposed motor to test the theory heres a few vids regards chris

Hi Chris.
           That looks MAD enough for madmodders, welcome to the madhouse.    I would think that

Dave (stilldrilling) would be interested in anything Mamod, so you must "get round to it" with part two.

Cheers Dek.

Thanks for sharing, a really nice project, looking forward to seeing it run!

Regards, Matthew.

[Skyrocket]

thanks guys!, all done

and stop start testing

[mattinker]

Yes, enjoyed that! You had fun making it and I had fun watching it run! It's authentic in my book, more than 80% Mamod, lets see it run a lawn mower!!

Thanks, a nice way to end the day! Regards, Matthew

Hi Chris.

What a crackin' project! 

Love your sequence of thought and development, as the project rolls along....... 

I never got further than three......  http://madmodder.net/index.php/topic,1128.0.html  Then, four cylinders, myself.......    http://madmodder.net/index.php?topic=5643.0
(Both of those engines are in Australia, now).


Love it! Blummin well done!

Hello Chris and welcome to our club.

I very much enjoyed your engine whizzing around and making a sound like a V-8. well done sir on a successful build and design.

I chuckled when i saw the fly-wheel.    in the back of my mind i thought " Bastard" ! 

[tom osselton]

Well done

Can you say "bastard"  I thought Doubleboost  had the right's to it!!

Hi Chris.

 Thanks For the nice comments you guys are my heros!
 ,David I've followed your build closely and indeed your quobble helped me a lot in my build, Ive been subbed to your YouTube channel a good while now, you've got serious talent are you a engineer by trade?
This was my first go at modding a few years ago... But how many times did I say the word "now" in the video? Lol

Chris.
I thought I recognised your handle and email addy, when I first saw it........   

An Engineer? I call myself a Bodger. Spent a working lifetime, machining.

I made my first swarf, at school, in 1958, and I'm still at it.

Stick around here. It's a great place to be.

That's brilliant!

[RossJarvis]

Yep, totally brilliant, best I made was a three cylinder radial, not to my plans either.

That V8 is really cool, and so is your accent!
