Alteration of the micromotor Rhythm. Tips for a modeler

In many modeling circles, there is a shortage of good compression micromotors with a working volume of 2,5 cm3. The quality of the only satisfactory KMD-2,5 motor has recently declined so much that the leader is forced to look for ways to provide the members of the circle with tolerable micromotors.

Converting good glow motors into compression ones is not only associated with unjustified costs. This work is laborious and requires special skills. And in case of failure, such a hard-to-find, scarce and expensive "kalilka" fails. Therefore, we propose to follow the path of reworking the well-known "Rhythm", mass-produced and inexpensive, using parts from MARZ. The result is a micromotor with a working volume of just over 3 cm3, which can be used in training and competitions of model aircraft, ships and cars of those classes where the cubature limits exceed 2,5 cm3. In addition, such an alteration is also interesting in that it allows the use of individual high-quality parts and components of motors, the use of which in the serial version is impossible or difficult. So, the motors "Rhythm" in most circles are inoperative due to the wear of the pairs, and the quality of the crankcases and especially the fit of the shaft in them on the MARZ engines do not allow these motors to be used for their intended purpose, but only in the form of blanks for alterations.

"Rhythms" of any editions are suitable for modification. The most important operation is boring the crankcase under the cylinder liner from the MARZs. If you do not have a boring machine at your disposal, we recommend making a device described in the book by E. Gusev and M. Osipov "A Handbook for Automodellers". At the same time with the bore, a seat for the shoulder of the sleeve is trimmed. Otherwise, the Rhythm crankcase is unchanged, as are all the details of the crankshaft and spool wall. You will also only need to bore the cooling jacket to the size of the sleeve from MARZ. Here you can do with a conventional lathe. However, the operation must be carried out very accurately - the sleeve must enter a cleanly bored jacket with force or when the jacket is heated to 90-100 °.

Alteration of the micromotor Rhythm
Alteration of the "Rhythm" micromotor: 1 - standard "Rhythm" cooling jacket (boring size "a" is determined by the MARZ sleeve), 2 - MARZ sleeve, 3 - MARZ piston group with a new connecting rod, 4 - "Ritma" crankcase assembly with shaft (boring size "b" is determined by the skirt of the sleeve), 5 - tin brazed muffler, 6 - connecting rod. On the left, the crankcase is mounted on an angle fixture in a lathe chuck for boring and trimming.

As already mentioned, a cylinder liner is used from MARP, and with it a piston with a counter-piston. It is better to take these parts from a non-working engine, since even after a short break-in at TDC, a ledge is formed from the development of the sleeve, which will not allow the piston to move higher with an increased stroke on the new converted Rhythm. You may also have to grind the sleeve a little in the upper part, since the serial parts of MARZ have an extremely pronounced "cone" and during running-in, the sleeve scuffing is not ruled out.

The piston pin can be used serial, but it is better to make a new, elongated one from the shank of the drill Ø 4,2 mm, due to which it will be possible to simultaneously get rid of excessive play in the pin-piston connection (the nests in the piston are pre-drilled with the same drill). In extreme cases, the connecting rod can also be taken serially, but it is more useful to make a new one, from red-hot duralumin, maintaining a center-to-center distance of 25,5 mm. The final operation is the selection of four flats on the shoulder of the sleeve for the head mounting screws.

After thoroughly washing all the parts in gasoline, a new microengine is assembled, making sure that the fixing groove on the sleeve is located in front or behind the crankcase, which will prevent the piston pin from falling into the liner purge channels.

The "Rhythm" converted in this way is distinguished by a good launch, stable operation and power close to the power of a good KMD. However, this power on the "Ritm" is realized at lower speeds - due to the increased torque, which allows the use of propellers of increased diameter on enlarged cord aerobatic aircraft models for flights on cords about 18 m long. In some cases, it is useful to equip the engine with a muffler soldered from tin . Its configuration may be different; successfully tested on the converted "Rhythm" is shown in the figures.

In the radio version, the engine can be easily equipped with a controlled carburetor, if you use the rear wall from the KMD with a 5 mm thick spacer and replace the standard futorka with a radio carburetor.

A New Way to Control and Manipulate Optical Signals 05.05.2024

The modern world of science and technology is developing rapidly, and every day new methods and technologies appear that open up new prospects for us in various fields. One such innovation is the development by German scientists of a new way to control optical signals, which could lead to significant progress in the field of photonics. Recent research has allowed German scientists to create a tunable waveplate inside a fused silica waveguide. This method, based on the use of a liquid crystal layer, allows one to effectively change the polarization of light passing through a waveguide. This technological breakthrough opens up new prospects for the development of compact and efficient photonic devices capable of processing large volumes of data. The electro-optical control of polarization provided by the new method could provide the basis for a new class of integrated photonic devices. This opens up great opportunities for ... >>

Primium Seneca keyboard 05.05.2024

Keyboards are an integral part of our daily computer work. However, one of the main problems that users face is noise, especially in the case of premium models. But with the new Seneca keyboard from Norbauer & Co, that may change. Seneca is not just a keyboard, it is the result of five years of development work to create the ideal device. Every aspect of this keyboard, from acoustic properties to mechanical characteristics, has been carefully considered and balanced. One of the key features of Seneca is its silent stabilizers, which solve the noise problem common to many keyboards. In addition, the keyboard supports various key widths, making it convenient for any user. Although Seneca is not yet available for purchase, it is scheduled for release in late summer. Norbauer & Co's Seneca represents new standards in keyboard design. Her ... >>

The world's tallest astronomical observatory opened 04.05.2024

Exploring space and its mysteries is a task that attracts the attention of astronomers from all over the world. In the fresh air of the high mountains, far from city light pollution, the stars and planets reveal their secrets with greater clarity. A new page is opening in the history of astronomy with the opening of the world's highest astronomical observatory - the Atacama Observatory of the University of Tokyo. The Atacama Observatory, located at an altitude of 5640 meters above sea level, opens up new opportunities for astronomers in the study of space. This site has become the highest location for a ground-based telescope, providing researchers with a unique tool for studying infrared waves in the Universe. Although the high altitude location provides clearer skies and less interference from the atmosphere, building an observatory on a high mountain poses enormous difficulties and challenges. However, despite the difficulties, the new observatory opens up broad research prospects for astronomers. ... >>
