InterlinkKnight's video: Homemade Electric V8 Engine Working Model 1:8 scale Part 1

This is a small model I made from scratch to look and run like a real engine, even though is electric. Part 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3JGZhBuFMo It has: • Throttle pedal with full control of the engine speed. • Engine stalls at very low speed. • Analog tachometer. • Battery light. • Solenoid starter to look and sound like a real starter. • Auto-start timer to run the engine after holding the starter for a set period of time. If you release the starter too early the engine doesn't run. • After-start speedup to increase the speed in a very short time after starting. • Ignition switch with lock after starting to prevent starting the engine while running. • Internal flywheel to simulate more mass and make some noise. • Real screws on the back of the engine and the flywheel to be able to install a transmission. To make it, I use mainly paperboard and a lot of epoxy glue. The main motor is on the bottom, which has a big pulley attach to another smaller motor that works as a generator for the tachometer. The tachometer is an volt meter gauge. It uses a 24v power supply for the running speed, 12v for the relays, solenoid, etc, and 4.7v to rotate the engine slowly when is starting, independently from the pedal. When I get a 3D printer I will make an automatic transmission and a manual transmission to connect it to my engine and simulate a working car.
