Lenoir Gas Engine

Note: I first made a model of the Lenoir gas engine a couple years ago In an earlier version of Blender.

Étienne Lenoir, a French citizen born in Belgium, was the inventor of the first commercially successful internal combustion engine. His machine was a steam engine adapted to drive the piston with burning coal-gas ignited by an electrical spark. It was about 2.5 meters long. He gained his patent in 1860, but came second to the Otto-Langen gas engine in the Paris Exhibition of 1867.

Just a simple project to learn my way around Blender 2.8.

Faster-than-Light-Starship

In 1994, Mexican physicist Miguel Alcubierre proposed a theoretical method for faster- than-light travel: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcubierre_drive. The IXS Enterprise spaceship in NASA’s concept for implementing Alcubierre’s ideas. The ship was designed by NASA engineer Dr.Harold G. White. This model was inspired on Dr. White’s design. A Google seach for "NASA Starship" will offer a lot of information and images.
