    Super cool video!! I have been assembling a machine shop to support my UA-cam channel that I will be starting with the build of a 1928 Morgan RIP GN special 3 wheeler with 4 wheels. I am using an experimental aircraft opposed twin supercharged engine. This will be mated to an MG 4 speed manual gearbox with a 2 piece hand cast aluminum adapter. This will be connected to an MG differential with beautiful wire wheels. The frame I stood over steel and will have aircraft cloth stretched over and sprayed with plasticizer. This will have a boat tail look and is essentially a 20's airplane without a propeller or wings. There is only one other in existence and Charlie Martin races it in the UK. The next project lined up is the building of a Brooklands style cycle car similar to the Pembleton. This will have a BMW R-100 engine in the front and four wheels with gorgeous leather interior and even space for luggage. I look forward to seeing everyone over at the channel when it gets warm out enough to be in the barn in Pennsylvania .....

  • @rosiehawtrey
    @rosiehawtrey 2 роки тому

    That chain linked double twin might have an interesting problem because you need a way to sync up the engines like you do in a multi engine aircraft. In an aircraft it just causes vibration. On that car, if done for long enough it could snap the link chains due to drag stress off the slower engine and you wouldn't necessarily be able to hear the difference between the two - a difference of 200-300rpm enough to potentially cause a problem.
