Hello Friends, I've just completed my radial engine model and renders, and you're probably all too familiar with this engine being the Karl-Erik Olsryd 9-cylinder quarter scale model of the Wright J-5 Whirlwind. As an enthusiast, I based my creation on Jan Elg's drawings while taking a few calculated liberties to ensure optimal functionality in every respect. My Solidworks 2013 model comes fully loaded with Mechanical Mates. Take it for a spin by turning that propeller and see the intricate inner workings of this incredible valve train, which is coupled to an impressive gear box system, complete with distributors, planetary gears, and all sorts of intricacies that keep everything working smoothly - except I left out those pesky valve springs as Solidworks was struggling with 18 functional ones at a time. Give them another pass in a future release perhaps! A word of appreciation goes out to my generous benefactors: Jan Elg provided me with the valuable input from their drawings and an amazing carbureator, while Grabcad's talented user Usama hooked us up with their sweet propeller design. Major shout-out to those brilliant designers for enriching this build. Click on the "Download" button to indulge in the crisp details that will come alive as I'm making all my complete Solidworks 2013 files, parts & assemblies available, as well as STEP, IGES, STL, and an extensive library of detailed high resolution renderings created using Bunkspeed Shot.

With all polygons fired up within Bunkspeed shot rendering - standing at staggering count of no less than 13,906,643 It should come as no surprise I didn't bother clocking a definitive hours figure when you take into consideration these details are more precise for most human comprehension – a rather humorous 'Far too many. =)'
