[MOC] H-24 Engine

[apemax]

Hello everyone, 

Been a while since I posted here however I'm back with just a fairly small MOC this time, A Working H-24 Engine. Been meaning to post this for a while but only just got around to doing it, Not much to say about it really, It's a fairly simple design for a H-24 24 cylinder engine. For the most part it was inspired by the Napier Sabre engine although it's not a complete model of it as you can see, Just the actual core mechanical part, A generic H-24 engine I suppose. I have plans to put this into a MOC I'm planning on making at some point, Maybe when I finish the current one I'm working on. Anyway, on with the pictures:

A video of it being directly powered by a PF M motor:

Finally I also made this in LDD so I would know how to rebuild it in the future:

The .io file can be downloaded from Bricksafe if you want to see hows it's put together or anything:

Thanks for looking and hope you liked it.

Putting this in Hawker Tempest model would be cool!

Simple but efficient, nice job!

Very cool, need to put this on the 8457 Power puller, or 2 of them

Yep thats the plan, Either a Tempest or a Typhoon, Haven't one hundred percent decided which yet. Thanks mate.

Thanks mate, Yeah I would be very tempted to if I had that set, Unfortunately I don't, Perhaps I'll have to make my own with the Engine at some point.

I have never built airplanes as Technic models, but to make Hawker Tempest, Typhoon  or even Napier-Heston Racer is what I would suggest

Great start. Maybe this could inspire some ideas. I would love to see another Typhoon or Tempest.

Way cool! Simple but complex at the same time. I will download the lxf file and look at it when I get to my computer.

I am very curious to see the gearing used to connect the 2 flat 12 cylinder engines to make I function as a H-24 cylinder. Looks very inrteresting.

Thanks,

Andy D

Yep a tempest or typhoons is what I'm planning on currently at some point for it.

Thanks mate, Yeah I remember seeing your Typhoon and Spitfire before I built my Spitfire, Seeing your amazing models certainly helped when I was building my spitfire.

Thanks mate, Yeah gearing is actually fair simple.

This will end as a chalenging but at the same time great project, so keep with good work.

Btw engine is on one hand simple and on the other creative, so it is a great kompromise like LEGO should always be.

You're welcome 

now all what I can do is wait to see model with this engine
