£68. On ebay 100-1 ratio. Should be slow enough just looking for a 1” flex drive. I’ll make a pulley lets see if this actually works

Well thats ruined my plans. One like is on this polishing machine works out around £300. Thats far too much to spend on something that might not work and if it did im not sure i have a use for. I’ll keep looking though

No laser. Hand plasma. Hydralic punch and crop. Fold upto 5mm 3m long. thicker for short lengths. Guilitine the same. All material welding. But im mainly an engineer. Lathe, milling, surface grinding, slotter/shaper. Just a very diverse workshop.

but then on consideration, the concept IS from the Emerald Isle ...Well...

could just as easily have been a road roller / traction engine perched on 4 dinghys ...
they like that sort of thing ...

Cuh ... gears ..reduction ratios, lasers, plasma and wot-not ..
I could almost stand being sledged by CI over the cricket

I still reckon the Allison engine would be better with increased reliability and performance.
Maybe improve the injection system and add a blower.
Otherwise its all on.
