Has anyone ever considered building their own 2T engine in an artisanal way? There is even more, using for it everything that you find in your neighborhood hardware store and that you think could be useful to you throughout the process? Nobody? Well then you have to meet Camden Bowen and his YouTube channel, where he explains what he does “funny trinkets”.
And the world of Youtubers is full of very talented people, who can make you a 2T engine in the garage at home, as is this case, which are ahead of Royal Enfield in the launch of their new Himalayan 450, creating their own with nothing less than 464 cc and 34 HP of power.
Homemade 2T engine not suitable for “ecofriendly”
Now that we live in the era ruled by the religion of climate change, the love of everything that passes through strict filters eco-friendly, and where a 2T engine is the closest thing to the devil himself, Camden Bowen had no better idea than to design and build his own in the back of his personal garage.
In addition, to make it even more enjoyable and instructive, the colleague has made it from hardware parts that have little or nothing to do with an engine. But with his knowledge and ingenuity he has managed to integrate them, making them perform the function assigned to each one after the manufacturing process.
Of course, in order to carry out the project, this self-taught person has all the necessary tools to give the right shape to some of the elements that end up assembling this small homemade 2T engine. From a lathe to a milling machine, as well as many and varied hand tools.
Although during the course of the process, Bowen encounters some technical problems that prevent him from continuing, based on patience and knowledge he ends up solving them. Finally, he manages to start “his work”, and even with an odometer connected to demonstrate that It is capable of reaching 10,000 rpm without too much effort.
We do believe that this 2-stroke engine is not suitable for passing the new Euro5+, and if not, take a look at the video to appreciate the thick and constant smoke coming out of its entrails. At this very moment, more than one environmentalist must be getting hives every second that the small Bowen engine remains running…
