8-Cylinder Torpedo Motor

sketchfab

Torpedo motor, British in origin and dating from approx 1939. This 8-cylinder radial 2-stroke compression ignition engine runs on compressed air and oil, with the exhaust gases venting through the hollow crankshaft. Ideal basis for a steampunk motorbike, and this one has every chance of being put to that use. The motor will be restored to running condition, with this model being used as a pre-restoration reference. Model © Simon Brown. All rights reserved.
