Home-made silencer
Thought you might like to see this little silencer that I knocked up last night.
It's fitted to a 2cc diesel engine. Construction is from a CO2 cartridge that I found, whilst out with the dog. The cartridge came from someone's air rifle. I know that it's not an original idea. I recall seeing similar silencers on home-made engines. It works pretty well ... it's primary use is to keep things a little less messy. Kept me entertained for an hour or so, in the constructing. |

Nice! Is it welded or brazed? Looks like it was TIG welded.

Silver solder. Tough as old boots.
Now, I have an engine. I have some wings. And I have a tailplane. Soon, I shall have my very own free-flight thingy. Muhahahahaha. The timer is a bit problematic, though. |
