Description
My first thought when I saw this engine design was wow, that's novel. Second thought was to model it. Along the way I decided to add an admittedly simple but working transmission and motorize it.
For those who don't have an electric motor handy I included a manual crank on the righthand side of the transmission which you can rotate to run the engine. It has a pop out, print in place handle which you can extend.
Check out the great video by Driving 4 Answers detailing how the Avadi engine works and it's strengths, weaknesses, and potential application to real world uses.
This took along time to create. I hope you enjoy it. Please message me if you have ideas to improve it or feedback.
I've a few ideas to extend the model. What do you guys think?
- Create a set of accessories (intake/exhaust manifold). Already started on this…
- [DONE] Model a set of 3d printable bearings which can be used instead of the store bought bearings.
- Source a more powerful motor and see just how fast we can get this thing going.
- Enclose the cylinder, improve the valve seals, and see if we can create compression.
- What are your ideas?
Enjoy!
