Actual Metalworking -- Cox engine head
(yes, I'm reposting -- I realized that the title was a bit uninformative)
http://www.metalworking.com/dropbox/. Search on "cox_head". Just finished running it -- ran through a whole tank of 10% nitro fuel. I couldn't do that with the stock head; I think it just didn't have enough compression. This head has stupid-high compression* -- it runs better with a stack of three head gaskets than it does with none (I need to try it with one or two). _And_ it starts with a ni-starter -- Cox glow heads _demand_ a good dry cell battery, and just sneer at you if you try to give them 1.2V from a nicad. * Note that it was built with more compression than the drawing indicates, and wider fin spacing. -- Tim Wescott Control system and signal processing consulting www.wescottdesign.com |
