Caminez 4-Cylinder 4-Stroke/Cycle Engine
by Wally Warner, Michigan, 2007

| Courtesy of Paul and Paula Knapp, Miniature Engineering Museum |
The full-size engine was developed and patented by Harold Caminez in the mid 1920s. The early engines were advertised as producing 150 hp at 1,200 rpm. However by the time the engine was awarded the Approved Type Certificate in June 1928, it was rated at 120 hp at 960 rpm. Boeing built two Model 81 trainers to use the Caminez engine and the first one flew in March of 1928. Apparently the engine simply didn’t stand up in an operational environment and other manufacturers dropped the Caminez as an option for their aircraft. One report states the engine vibrated excessively and future plans to market the engine were abandoned in 1929. Wally Warner started this model project in 1982 and finally found the opportunity to finish it in 2007.

The Napier Lion VII D was installed in the Gloster VI N250 Schneider Trophy float plane in 1929. All model parts were made by hand as masters, then moulds made from them. The parts were then reproduced in cast resin. This was necessary as besides this aircraft replica, two further engines are required for a future model of the Railton Mobil Special LSR car of John Cobb. Size 00-90 brass nuts and bolts were cut down into studs and nuts, then plated before installing. A total of 308 studs and nuts were required to complete the model. The levers at the rear of the supercharger were a bit of a pig to make as they were carved from aluminum sheet. |

10 Oct 2015: I have just completed my latest, which is a model of Whittle’s very first WU engine. I was years and years searching for info on this but it seems there is so little out there. I finally bit the bullet and put together what I had and built my interpretation of it. | ||||||
