The DIY Engine Model

The DIY Engine Model

The diy engine model is the ultimate car lover's dream. It's a fully functional engine that will show off your love of cars while also giving you a good idea of how a real engine works. It's a great project to get kids involved in as well and can be an excellent way to teach them patience and perseverance.

This is an extremely easy model engine to build and uses cheap, common supplies. It runs on compressed air, supplied by your own lungs as you blow down and then suck the piston up. It demonstrates basic principles of motion and engine operation, and it's a lot of fun!

In this issue of Stirlingkit you can see the full build article and CAD drawings for Edward Warren's Joyce walking beam engine, Todd Snouffer's Pip 3 cylinder Radial Engine drawing package, Part 2 of Carl Wilson's cam series on Creating a Cam Profile, and our centerfold showcases Iqbal Ahmed's 1886 Benz Engine Model. This issue also features our regular feature on DIY Engine Plans. See you next month!
