nobody picked up that you can in fact get brass chisels. Common trick at the steelworks is to send the apprentice off to the store for all the usual silly things, then once they wake up, send em for a brass chisel.
I wasn't sure about that one I was got good the other day by our workshop guy ... I'd just lined up everything perfectly on the sheet metal bender and was just locking the jaws into place when Maurice wanders past and says "Did you remember to turn that on?", waving in the direction of the other end of the bender. Being an idiot, I let go of the clamp for a second while reaching towards the imaginary power switch ... I can't wait to turn the power on the magnetic bender off on him ... -----sharks
Unless you have a clitoris , then the vibration would be a bonus ............thats why girls ride bb engines
Among other things, smaller reciprocating mass. Two litle pistons are much smaller than one big one. In addition, the ones firing together dont. they are separated bi a smidgin to spread the power pulse out a bit. Moike
The main difference is the size and weight of the valve train, smaller and lighter valves can rev higher than larger heaver ones. Boxer
Piston engine *theory* states that power output is: PLANK ----- = HP k where: P = mean effective pressure (combustion pressure) L = length of stroke A = cross-section area of the cylinder N = number of cylinders K = RPM k = a constant to get all the units to spit out HP instead of something obscure like "Pascal-millimetres-cubed-degrees-per-second". So "k" will vary depending on what units you choose for each measurement in PLANK Note this theory is "ideal" and makes no allowance for other improvements and losses in power (such as scavenging/volumetric efficiency etc). In short, for a given engine size, increasing the number of cylinders will usually increase power output. (Unless it's a Hard^Hley in which case it had no power to start with so "zero x anything" will still be zero). James ZZR250==>ZX9R
