HOW A RADIAL ENGINE WORKS Carpenter Ian Jimmerson has built a huge working model of a 9 cylinder Radial Engine, out of wood with clear plastic tubes on the cylinders, so you can see them go up and down, and carefully explains how all of the parts work together, and he turn the crankshaft slowly by hand so you can see everything moving. This guy should be ( maybe he already is) a teacher. Here is the video link http://fireaviation.com/2016/01/23/carpenter-builds-wood-model-of-9-cylinder-radial-engine/ Part 1 - 10 min video and Part 2 - 9 min video. Now I know how the Radial Engine works!!

He appears to know how to cut gear teeth to mesh properly - it did not BLOW UP on full drill speed!! - remember, "The Fundamental Law of Gearing", states, that the angular velocity ratio, between the gears of a gear set, must remain constant throughout the mesh. 8-)
