About me

As a child I was always fascinated with engines, I always wanted to see inside as the fire consumes the fuel. I decided to make a see through engine first to improve my engineering skills and also just to fulfill my childhood fascinations.

I hope to use any profits from selling these engines to invest in machinery for my workshop so that I can create other engineering creations.

Basement Workshop

Apologies for the mess, I’ve been busy. This is my basement where I create the engines and make a lot of dust.

First engine, warts and all.

Prototype Engine

After many false starts and dead ends, this was the first working prototype of the engine. As you can see I had dirty hands!

 

Future Projects

If people are interested in these engines I have plans to create other see through models including the following

  • Straight Four, V8 etc four stroke model engines

  • Rotary (Wankel engine)

  • Steam engine with see through valve chest

  • See through axial jet engine ( I think this can be done although difficult and quite dangerous ! )
