LATEST UPDATES:
Will be working on a customised Fuel Injection system on a
92.2C.C 4 stroke engine. I am using an ancient 486 laptop,
but that outta do the work.
Shall be ripping off the carb off the engine first. Then
comes the herculean task of designing or modding fuel
injectors, polishing intake manifolds, shaving off the
cylinder heads for an increased compression ratio and
increased power output.
Why on Earth would I be talking about an engine? I just
realised that I was making a BIG robot, and I needed
something more efficient when it comes to delivering
power...the orignal Spiderbot was stripped down, it's legs
taken off apart, and now I shall have em' replaced with
mini pneumatic tires.
I have also realised that I would be investing a lot of
time and money in fabricating the F.I system, so as of now
crude pulleys pull the throttle cable which is attached to
the carb.
I have never posted my pics because this robot of mine is
constantly evolving, it started from a small thing that
just pranced around like a toy to something that may give
sports cars inferiority complex!!!!.....
Why?
Engine produces 7.4 horses at 7500 Rpm, and the approx
robot weight is 40 Kgs.
Power to Weight ratio is a cool:(7.4/40)*1000 =
185Bhp/tonne.
The final gearing is ridiculously short, and naturally
because it should be able to tackle any terrain/gradient....
