Pineapple Racing is launching free rebuilding videos, each week from here on out on how to build a rotary engine. They are going to make it free to download from http://www.rotaryengineillustrated.com

Here is the first tech video they have launched as a beta, and they are asking for input on how to improve the videos.

Damn that site delivers!!!

 

Lots of good content. Nicely done.

 

Forgive my newbness, but how would you get the old bearing (if possible) out?

 

the best way to put n a bearing is too keep the bearing cold

 

If you notice how the bearing is pressed into the rotor with a press.

Well, if you turn the rotor around, you use a press to punch out the rotor bearing the same way it was punched in.

Now you have to flip it around, and push it out the other side because of the tab thats in the rotor and the rotor bearing. If you kept, pushing the bearing through the same side it was pushed in, you would damage the rotor bearing surface, and destory the bearing.

So in short, flip it around, and use a bench like in the video to push it out.

 

sweet watched both of em. May I suggest that you close the door during filming. I was counting jets taking off the whole time

 

Nicely done. It was great to have the close ups done when he would announce another part. This guy seems very clean-cut and professional. His workbench looks very clean too I look forward to more videos.

 

Hes useing spyder gear on the press on the top of the bearing press tool! Look after the bearing is in he takes it off! LoL

you can watch em but can u download em onto ur desktop?

 

Yeah, I'am working on a downloadable verison right now.

 

 

What do you need installed on your comp to watch these? I'm having trouble watching all the videos after the pilot bearing install.

 

I to am have problems viewing some of the video's to. I thought it was kinda weird.

 

Are you guys haivng trouble view some of the videos?

Some of them are large, they all are in the same format. Does re-freshing the window work at all?

 

I waited 30 min to see if maybe the video was big I did try to refresh. Love the video's i can see.

 

Ok great, so refreshing works, I will make sure to post that on the page if people are having problems.
