Will my latest speed project be faster than "Ky" ?
« on: September 18, 2022, 07:15:00 pm »

Bonjour,
I am quite often second on the "Anton Trophy" challenge (500 meters - standard steam boiler max 8 bar - 120 PSI) and I would like so much winning...

The defender is a boat named "Ky" equipped with a Stuart Sun : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q28f2j5xthY

My third speed project, equipped with a 4,8 cm3, twin 180° single acting machine made by a friend has run for the first time this week-end... on a table : https://youtu.be/cc-cy1wx7I8

My question is in the title !

Raphael I wish you success with your new build for winning the trophy, it’s an impressive looking contender suggest that the exhaust pipe line is increased in dia to ensure that there is no back pressure that would limit the engines max rpm
