Gasparin V12 CO2 Model Airplane Engine


Purchased from www.ministeam.com. This is a beautiful desktop version of a CO2 powered airplane V12 engine. This most probably the smallest V12 engine in the world. This engine is hand made in Europe. Only 100 of them will be made. G63V12 Bore 4.0mm, Stroke 5.0mm, Stroke Volume 12 x 62.80 mm3, Weight 108g This engine is absolutely beautiful to look at and watch run. Size: 2 1/5 inches wide X 5 1/2 inches long X 4 1/2 inches high Assembled Ready-To-Run. Made in Europe Carbon dioxide motors have been around for a long time. They are expansion engines which work rather like a steam engine. The tank receives a charge of CO2 which is liquid at ambient temperature at a vapor pressure of about 850 psi. this boils in the tank to supply gas to the motor. In the Gasparin the inlet valve is a steel ball sealing under gas pressure in a nylon (delrin type) seat while the piston carries a central peg which lifts the valve as it approaches top dead center. Exhaust is through a ring of ports uncovered by the piston towards the bottom of the stroke. Gasparins spun alloy tanks, silver-soldered pipe work, connectors and the filler valves are all beautifully designed. The motors use a floating O ring to seal the piston, which works well. They also have a flexible joint between the gas supply pipe and the cylinder head. This seals in a silicon material and the feature is important because it allows the cylinder barrel to be screwed up and down on its threaded base in the crankcase. This

    @solarpanels3 I say put in a model and BURN!

  3. Golph246 says:

    @nate0398 it still needs more power to compress the co2 that ik can make so it is not possible.

    ever since, my veiled aspiration is to become a pilot and fly a plane. unfortunately, i cant afford to enroll myself in a flying school…oh well…thats life… =)

  5. nate0398 says:

    put a c02 return and u never hav to fill it up again cuz it will recirculate

  6. 4uhelder says:

    Better use the compressed air to blow in Your face directly – This is only a more elaborate fan.

    No bangs NO real engine

  8. RoboVT102 says:

    How much is it?

  9. XC68040RC says:

    Ihave a 5cyrinder Radial Co2 engine.

    @swisschocolateisgood
    thats the price of awesomeness !

  12. swisschocolateisgood says:

    loud…

  13. NOBOX7 says:

    @solarpanels3 yeah and any thing japaness or china makes is  laced with radio active lead

  14. oOHaLfAsSOo says:

    u should give that fan to a tree hugger as a gift

  15. ChrisLuxembourg says:

    That’s the motor for Guy Negre!!!

  16. howtocando says:

    This looks like a fan motor put inside a fancy housing
    Anyway a v12 model engine will at least pull that fan

  17. Jagdtoq says:

    I have Gasparin 4 cylinder, it uses sewing machine oil for lubrication, injected by syringe and there is a throttle but speed adjustment is limited. Great toy

  18. mapukmapuk says:

    @solarpanels3 china say : it was “made in china”

  19. dtiydr says:

    I would have put a 5000 PSI nitrogen tank to it and then it would take of and go orbit with the tank.

  20. TriggeRob says:

    this is officially the coolest thing iv seen this month… would be the year if it had like a lil generator that kept the air pressure up so it didnt die after 10 seconds :(

  21. Mykola40 says:

    @solarpanels3 chinese say…. we copy it, and it will be not better but will be cheeper

  22. fangus503 says:

    Exhaust ports…?

  23. yamahonkawazuki says:

    @solarpanels3 chinese say we copy it. it fall apart soon

  24. FORTY848 says:

    i want one, if you can buy it, where and how much is it?

  25. MrTrailltrader says:

    @solarpanels3
    Considering that Americans designed it in the first place, we’re allowed to do that. And everyone steals from everyone else- China piracy? Or Sweedish “the Pirates Bay’ Piracy? With the Japanese your almost right- they copy it, and make it better by adding tenticle porn!
