Chy #Post#: 77690-------------------------------------------------- Re: Whats on your bench today By: chy_farm Date: June 9, 2017, 5:49 pm --------------------------------------------------------- I started a power pipe project for her. First thing to do was knowing the exhaust port timing, from opening to closing. I put a handmade disk on to the flywheel, see a marking at the top which tells zero degrees when this port begins to open. Turn the shaft to the right direction until it closes again, see the disk how it tells the angle. It tell 160 degrees! Now open the [Java Pipe] site, which provides an on-line software to calculate the design, to put several required factors in the blanks. E.g. I put below factors; Velocity of Rotation : 9600 rpm Exhaust Port Angle : 160 degrees Transfer Port Angle : 150 degrees (I did not measure this but it seems in most cases a tad smaller than ex-port angle.) Exhaust Port Area : 620 square milimeters Exhaust Gas Temperature : 653 degrees K ( equivalent to 380 degrees Celsius) The last line, the Exhaust Gas Temperature is a tricky part of this designing to me. In the latest try for Echo Twin, I set 773 degrees K which is equivalent to 500 degrees Celsius, but perhaps it was too hot. Anyways I got a couple of designs for her, see these below.

I have a few questions. 1) The RPM's you chose is 10,000 rpm. Is that based on what the saw will turn in the wood or with out a load with bar and chain on. 2) What gauge sheet metal are you using to build the pipe. 3) Are you gas welding the Pipe together. ***************************************************** (DIR) Previous Page (DIR) Next Page
