Funcional 13b display

Had some spare parts sitting around so I decide to cut up an E-shaft and make a working 13b display piece. I made it so you can use the handle on either side of the shaft....The O-ring is on the shaft to keep the rotor from walking out of the housing when it is being spun. I am going to media blast everything now that it is complete and make it pretty. Should be a good conversation piece in my basement bar...I'll post more pics when she is all finished up.

That's awesome. Going to have to make one myself now for car shows. But with a small gear motor on the back to it spins. Like a wiper motor so it runs on 12V and just plugs into the car.

Really awesome idea brotha . Maybe add a piece of plexiglass to the front and then it may get a lil compression and you could hear the intake and exhaust strokes by adding the seals again . Bet some collector buy that .

That's a really good idea....I may have to steal it

The electric motor is a sweet thought. I hav enough parts to build another...maybe I'll try it
