Your O/T moment of zen - chopper with 24 chainsaw motors

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by Mike Zenor, Jan 9, 2008.

  1. I don't know what's weirder, Mike, that they did it, or that you know about it.

    And I used to think that the Michigan Madman was nuts.

  5. I'm pretty sure this takes the prize for most motors in one vehicle -- although that '65 Hot Rod cover car Fiat Topolino with 4 V12 Allisons still wins for most cylinders.

    I can't imagine how much crazy gyroscoping is going on when this thing is in motion...

    Was this in Europe? Even with all the regulations, europeans seem to build WAY cooler stuff (or at least more BALLSY) than the U.S......must not be as sue happy over there.

    I'd ride that to work........I wonder at what RPM the powerband "kicks" in at????
     
  9. I can't remember the last chainsaw I started on the first pull. Can't image doing it 24 times everytime I wanted to ride the thing. Must be fun to take around corners with that wheel base:eek:

    These are German guys who build all kinds of crazy and useless stuff, lots of beer involved. Werner Brösel is a Comic Artist and they use to build all the stuff he draws in his comics.
    here´s a link to their homepage

    Here is a cycle with 48 cylinders. Made from Kawasaki 350 triple engines. Uses a chainsaw engine as the starter.

    Ok it runs but can they not reach the bars without getting burned? I wanna see somebody ride the damn thing! (wish I had so much extra time on my hands I could build worthless junk for my own amusement)

    I remember seeing this a year or two ago on a motorcycle board I post on. Some guys just don't know when to call it quits.

    I would think the first engine would be running out of gas by the time you were yanking the rope on number 24...
     
  19. I like the chopper with the radial aircraft engine in it - saw it on here somewhere . . .

    Radial? I want to build one with a LeRhone ROTARY...engine will be the rear wheel spokes. Shucks, maybe I should build it as a unicycle!

    Not to bad! 151.2 HP @13,500 RPM. Way too long for my taste though.
