Synopsis

Practical guide to engine design with a focus on balancing
This classic text explains how to translate core engineering ideas into workable drawings and real machines. It aims to help someone with basic math and mechanics understand how to design engines that are powerful, efficient, and easy to manufacture.

The book argues that a strong foundation in elementary dynamics is essential for practical engineers. It covers key topics from sizing an engine to fit a desired power, to balancing moving parts and reducing vibrations. You’ll find step-by-step methods, worked examples, and emphasis on translating theory into figures and measurements.

What you will experience:

• A practical path from first principles to ready-to-build engine details


• Clear treatment of balancing and inertia that keeps foundations from taking excess momentum


• Numerical explanations that connect valve timing, flywheels, and crank action to performance


• Structured chapters on valves, compounding, inertia diagrams, and the theory of couples

Ideal for readers who want a solid, usable approach to engine design, from students to junior engineers in drawing offices, and anyone seeking a time-tested method to turn theory into practice.
