Gamma Engine with Bailey Linkages
Posted: Tue Feb 18, 2020 4:02 am
I had an old Gamma engine and wanted to do something else with it, so decided to add a bailey's linkage to it.
The idea was to get a smooth slow running engine with a little more horsepower than my other models. This turned out to be a successful engine and was pleased with the results.
I have tried many water pumps on my models and found by far that the best pump is a diaphragm pump which seems to use less horsepower than a piston one.
The Piston is 42mm diameter and has a stoke of 22mm
The displacer is 38mm internal and a stroke of 41mm
The pictures show my result.
