Description:
Quite some time ago, a friend gave me drawings for the elbow engine. As the
engine comprises only a handful of components, one would think that this is a
quick build. Yet it does not take long to realize that utmost precision is
essential when constructing this model: All components require meticulous
orthogonal alignment to gurantee smooth operation. Due to its small size (the
original version has 6 mm pistons), the engine needs a pressure of at
least 14.5 psi [1 bar] to run smoothly, which also means at a pretty high rpm.
