Part 5. DIY Internal Combustion Engine Made from Old Compressor - First Run and Copper Head Gasket

Part 5 is finally here! First we measured the compression ratio using a syringe and water. Then we made a new head gasket out of annealed 12AWG(0.0808 in)(2.05 mm) copper house wire. Then we soldered the ends together to make a continuous loop that would make a good seal. We then drilled a third hole in the cylinder which is the intake port(the carburetor will eventually be mounted on this hole). Then the most exciting part, I squirted some fuel into the intake after hooking the spark plug up to an neon sign transformer and used a piece of rope to start it. It sounds like an angry weed eater!!! BTW sorry for the long delay in posting this video. I have been very busy. I was helping out a lot at my local makerspace, HackPGH. I was helping build a flying machine for the Red Bull Flutag. I was the pilot. Good thing I didn't die! If you noticed the scratch on my head in the closing that was from my craft. Why? Because it will be a challenge and I like a little challenge. The main constraints that I have put on this project are limited power tools. I will only use a battery drill, hacksaw, and other common hand tools and materials. Working with constraints are what real world engineers basically do and I find it challenging and fun working in this way. There are three reason for trying to do this with minimal tools: 1. so anyone, even someone in a third world country can replicate. 2. to show what you might be able to do in an apocalyptic situation. 3. creative thinking. I hope you enjoy. Please leave ideas and suggestions in the comments below!
