Rotor Ornament?

[B.Martin]

Well if any of you dud engine whorders want to donate a rotor to my ornamental cause, please let me know

I\'ve almost got a whole engine worth of parts that one day I\'ll get round to polishing up and using like this. Could do a engine coffee table type thing

Yeah i remember seeing those V8 coffee tables and thought they were the coolest things going, i almost brought a crappy V6 engine to try it myself. Imagine a rotary one would be cool as fook, especially if you made it a 3 rotor one

[Ada7]

All I\'d need is an E shaft as I\'ve got a polished plenum, TB, and LIM to use for it as well

I think, if you were going to do a coffee table one - a sectioned four rotor would be much more interesting

for example - x4 housings separated by a housings width. rotors held in the housings with a couple of cheeky and invisible spot welds etc :thumbs:

On a winner then - you\'d be left with using points on the rotor housings to mount a pane of toughened glass though

[Ada7]

You could even weld 2 shafts together so it looks like a 4 rotor one and then use some long bolts to join it all together.

ive one rotor i have on my desk as an ornament. heres a few pics




sprayed it gloss black.

i have 2 others i will do something with. i plan on spraying one gloss white and polishing the other. im then going to arrange them black polished white with a clock in the centre of all three with different time zones. something like this- east coast american time, irish/uk time, japan time so ill have usa, uk, japan as in the way you would see them while looking at a flattened globe.

just havnt time or money spare to do it but will get around to it sometime. also it will be good practice to learn how to polish.

[B.Martin]

Great stuff, i need to get my hands on a couple of these!

[Ada7]

Just wait till you need a rebuild Ben and you\'ll have loads of spare :p;)
(obviously i hope this doesn\'t happen)

There was a bust rotor & housing on ebay a couple of months ago, think they went for about £40 each
 
Ive always fancied the idea of making a small coffee table out of a couple of used housings & rotors, something like they have on top gear, the v12 block
 

[B.Martin]

Yeah i wanted to make a V - engine table like that, but even the blocks are quite expensive!
