Review this video!
Rudy has designed and built this dynamic two-stroke cycle, open frame engine with poppet valves. The cams, valves, con rod and all moving parts are visible. It has no gears, and requires no castings. It runs on either Coleman lantern fuel or gasoline. Spark plug ignition. 12 sheets of accurate, full-sized drawings, bill of materials and 7 sheets of outline and commentary are included.
This video was added to our catalog on November 19, 2004 in Metalworking::Engine Projects.
Product availability: very long wait
This engine is Rudy's own design and that in its self makes the video worth while. This video is more advanced and does not show machining. It shows the assembly with Rudy explaining various items and the methods used to make them. The quality is less than professional and people can be heard in the background during the filming.
Great, alot of information to absorb but sure lets you know if you want to tackle the job. That Rudy, gotta love him!
Very interesting engine.Rudy does not show machining techniques but shows each piece and describes how he machined it. This is a great help if you are following the construction by referencing the drawings. Rudy goes into detail regarding the ignition system and gives some good ideas for scavenging parts. I thought renting these two DVDs were a good investment and fully intend to construct the PIONEER.
I thought it was a good dvd, although sometimes Rudy gets a little hard to follow; that's what the review button is for on the dvd player.
All said and done I liked it.
