Breaking-in a Rc Nitro 2-stroke Glow Engine

Preparing your Nitro RC Engine only takes a few hours, but the benefits are worth the investment in time. In a nut shell RC 2-stroke engine use a tapered sleeve to create compression, while most full scale cars use piston rings. The process of breaking the engine in is to make sure that the piston and the sleeve have the best fit possible. Like all things RC it just depends on who you ask about breaking-in an engine.

From experience I can tell you that all the methods work well, when in doubt refer to the manual, they will have break-in procedures specific to your engine. the only important thing to remember is not to be too harsh on the engine, break it in slowly taking your time. Remember your not racing yet...

The 7 Step Break in Procedure

While most people recommend running about 5 tanks of fuel through the engine I generally like to run 7, I just like to make sure that I get the engine broken-in correctly. If you look at the oil that comes out the exhaust you'll see that by the 5th or sixth run the tiny bits of metal will be gone from the flow, initially you can see the engine breaking-in from the oil and unburnt fuel.

Needle Settings

Refer to your manual for the specific settings for your engine. The problem is that because each RC Nitro Engine is different you can't just copy your buddies settings, you have to work these out. Break in settings must be as rich as possible, this keep the engine cool and the excess fuel and oil will help flush out the tiny metal bits that come off during the break-in.

Fuel Tank #1

I'll idle the engine for the entire tank, you often need to keep the throttle open about 10% during the first few minutes, at least while the engine warms up. Keep the revs as low as possible, but don't change the mixture needle settings just yet. Once the tank is complete let the engine cool down for about 5 - 15 minutes. Be sure to leave the piston at dead bottom center while it cools, or else the shrinking sleeve could cause a problem if the piston is also there.

Fuel Tank #2

After the initial idle stage I'll run the car with as little throttle as possible, but keep the car moving, I make sure when I accelerate (not more than 25%) I'll do it smoothly and consistently. It's important to start putting some load on the engine, because when you race your RC Car there will be load on the engine. Try to match your break in conditions to your expected running conditions as closely as possible. The idea is to slowly build up the revs of your engine until your able to hit max speed by the end of the 7 th tank. Run your car in a figure-8, as turning makes the engine work slightly harder. After the 2nd Tank you can start to lean your motor out a little.

Fuel Tank #3 -#5

Now we're ready to start getting some speed out of your RC Nitro Car. What I do is start to run the car up and down a long straight, with figure-8 patterns at a low idle between them. I will run at max 25% throttle for about a minute, then rev the RC car flat out for at most 2 seconds. then return to a the standard max 25% throttle. Make sure you get your car to rev right through it's range, but don't keep it at full throttle for too long.

Fuel Tank #5 - #7

I continue as above, but shortening the periods between the bursts of full throttle. I also start to work out the tune of my car, I only change the air / fuel mixture before the 5th tank if I'm struggling to keep the engine running. After the 5th tank I start to lean the mixture by 1/8th turn. I still like to run it until there are no small metal bits in the exhaust discharge.

Once your done with the above break-in procedure I would still run my RC Car gently for the first couple of times on the track, this will ensure that you get the most life our of your brand new RC Nitro Engine.

Stirling Engine Kit $49.99 The intriguing design of this engine, invented and patented in 1816 by Dr. Robert Stirling, is still relevant today. Initially sought as a safer alternative to steam engines (whose boilers could explode), this engine never saw wide spread use because it was generally very heavy and required high temperatures. The principle of the engine is simple: an external heat source and heat sink create a temperature difference in a cylinder and the air inside expands and contracts, moving a piston and a crank shaft in a rotary motion. The energy source can be any source of heat or cold, including solar or even an open flame. The Stirling engine can be more efficient and quieter in comparison to the more familiar internal combustion engine. This Stirling Engine Kit is a truly unique gift for the person who thought they had everything - an engine that seemingly runs on air! But this engine can run on the heat coming from your hand. Please note that it is a kit and some assembly is required. Not suitable for children under 3 due to small parts. The instruction manual is available for download.

Stirling Engine, Low temp version, run off a coffee cup, hot water, or any warm surface. $119 Ever wanted a engine that can run off the heat from your coffee cup, hot water, or even a warm surface? Originally conceived in 1816 by Robert Stirling. Like toys that are hard to explain and amazing to watch? Like precision pieces of equipment that are beautifully engineered? Love science? Want a gift for the person that has everything? If so you will want a Stirling Engine. The engines I offer are fully assembled and not a kit, you will not find a precision stirling Engine for a lower price. These are the low temperature versions of a stirling engine that can run off hot water from a coffee cup, heat from a router, and so on. I have had these run while sitting in the sun at street fairs. Stirling engines operate by using a external heat source rather than a internal heat like a normal engine. The easiest way to use them is get your normal cup of coffee in the morning, put the stirling engine on top of the coffee cup, give it a slight push to get it going and as long as the surface is hot it will continue Size: Large Type: physics, electricity, engineering Color: Multi-Color Gender: Unisex Age: Adult

Hyundai Tau Engine $60.54 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Tau is Hyundai Motor Companys newest V8 engine, replacing the Omega. It is reported to deliver an estimated 375 horsepower (280 kW) and 333 ft lbf (451 N m) of torque on premium unleaded fuel at 4.6 L ( 281 cu in). Currently, the 5.0 L ( 305 cu in) version of the engine delivers 394 horsepower (294 kW) and 369 ft lbf (500 N m) on premium unleaded fuel. The engine is currently being used in the Hyundai Equus and can adapt to run on regular fuel without damage however; doing so will slightly lower performance ratings. Reports also suggest the engine might be produced in 5.5 L ( 336 cu in), with a supercharger installed from the factory. Hyundai Motor Company has also shown the 4.6 L ( 281 cu in) Tau V8 at SEMA. This engine was equipped with a supercharger and cylinder deactivation technology to produce an estimated 460 horsepower (340 kW) while returning better fuel economy.

Game Physics Engine Development $54.95 Simulating physics helps cutting-edge games distinguish themselves by making virtual objects behave as we expect them to in the real world. Physics engines are the software programs that run these simulations. Building an engine is difficult, however. There are a large number of new developers (and hobbyists) coming into this market who need help through this complex process. Current introductory books are inadequate; they don't bring enough real-world programming experience to the task. There is a need for an introductory book on game physics with solid coding guidance but which limits the math content. Ian Millington brings his extensive professional programming experience to this problem. He has developed games since 1987, has studied AI and mathematics at the PhD level, and founded Mindlathe Ltd., a company that designed and built commercial physics engines. Physics Engine Development carefully describes each step in the creation of a robust, usable physics engine. It introduces the mathematical concepts in a clear and simple manner, keeping to high school level topics and building a physics code library as it goes. Each new concept is explained in diagrams and code to make sure that even the most novice of game programmers understands. The companion CD-ROM includes the source code for a complete physics engine of commercial quality. This book will serve as a introduction to more mathematically advanced books on game physics, such as Dave Eberly's Game Physics. * Uses only high school algebra * Shows how to build a complete system based on professional principles * CD-ROM with C++ source code for a full commercial-quality physics engine
