MODEL ENGINE [4-Stroke]: Diesel engine, Hand-driven
$ 208.40 excl. GST
• This Model Engine shows the internal structure and operating principles of a water cooled four-stroke engine.
• The valves are clearly evident, cams being driven by a gear train from the rear of the main crank.
• This is the chain driven overhead camshaft type and all functional components (camshaft, rock-arms, tappets, etc.) are clearly demonstrated.
• The functioning of the fuel injection system is also represented.
• Cross sections of the carburetor and fuel supply are shown.
• Hand powered motion supplied through a crank demonstrates the moving parts of the engine.
• Crank shaft, piston, valves and cams cycle through all stages of the four-stroke process as the hand crank is rotated.
• A simulated spark plug uses a small lamp to indicate the firing point.
• Solidly constructed out of aluminum and plastic.
• This large model measures approx. 300 x 225 x 125mm and is mounted on a base approx. 200 x 200 x 60mm.
• A placard on the base labels all key components.
• Lamp requires a 6-12 V power source (not included).
Out of stock. (can be backordered).

(Wikipedia excerpt: ..."A model engine is a small internal combustion engine[1] typically used to power a radio-controlled aircraft, radio-controlled car, radio-controlled boat, free flight, control line aircraft, or ground-running tether car model.
Because of the square–cube law, the behaviour of many engines does not always scale up or down at the same rate as the machine's size; usually at best causing a dramatic loss of power or efficiency, and at worst causing them not to work at all. Methanol and nitromethane are common fuels.)
