    I can’t get over how nice this thing sounds. I’m still watching this dang video, mostly for reference because I’m building one now.
    I spent a few weeks drawing out the details and collecting stock and I just started whittling out the cylinders and water jackets today.
    I hope mine will run half as good as yours.
    Thanks again for the inspiration!

    Runs very well, and great sound ! Really nice dynamo generator, it looks just like the huge units I discovered in an abandoned hydro power plant in Washington state years ago.

    Thanks. This engine build is featured in the current issue of the Home Shop Machinist magazine. Drawings are there with all the corrections. It is a barstock engine with the exception of the flywheel castings.

    Technik in Perfektion! Sehr schön. Besonders die Führung des Generators auf der Kurbelwelle.

    Excellent engine. Is that a starved engine sputter, or valve floating?

    Do plans exist for this engine? It's makes a beautiful and smooth running model

      Plans are available from Village Press Publications (The Home Shop Machinist magazine). Order "The Engines of Doug Kelley" book. This electric plant model has been converted to a lower potential at 12vdc with added switchboard, metering, and new radiator mounting. Updated video may follow.

  • @realvanman1

    So, since the operating speed is the same as the prototype, we should be able to cube the scale, then multiply by the prototype hp to get the model's hp. That works out to 1/10 hp. Cute! Of course it would be less than that with the lower btu content of propane, assuming the original ran on gasoline. But where's the exciter generator? How is this generator being excited? It looks like it needs a bit more exciting current to bring it up to 115 ~ 120 volts. VERY nice though!
