One of the animations is of a Gnome rotary engine, so now we know what's going on inside Leif's Sopwith Camel engine.
Thanks for this useful and intriguing site, Oliver. Don |

Hi Oliver,
That's a neat site. I like simple, base line explanations like this. +Gil |

Excellent! First time I'm even close to beginning to understand the workings of one of these rotary engines. What surprised me most is that there really is one fixed point - which is OFF CENTER of rotation. Must have been mounted to the backside. Got to remember this somehow. - L.

That is the offset of the crankshaft. Remember the crankshaft was fixed and the engine went round it. I see my quote is from the other thread - hey ho. Last edited by looker; 01-11-2009 at 07:00 PM. |
