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.
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.
@@MrRustkolector thanks for this, I'm collecting all the plans I like the looks of in readiness to start machining with my dad, we both really liked this one 👍
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!
That's me running my engine! Cool! Thanks for putting up this video.

Technik in Perfektion! Sehr schön. Besonders die Führung des Generators auf der Kurbelwelle.
First class work. Thanks for sharing.
Amazing model of an engine.
Thats really excellent!
Thanks for sharing.
Excellent engine. Is that a starved engine sputter, or valve floating?
Buddy you was really good at making videos you should try and make one weekly
Are plans available for this engine?
awesome engine !!!!!!!!!!
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL WORKMANSHIP
its sounds great.
((how can i get castings or drawings ?))

very nice job.
Keith, your guess would be correct.
I'm guessing the Rotor is P.M. ? Nice Job...
With what fuel does it run diesel or petrol?
So cool ill sub, keep it up!
Hay plaos para este motor
Where can I buy it?
