But the whole act of building an engine rests on the work of engineers and physicists who developed the metallurgy and designed the components and production machinery to make the components.
I doubt there is a single physicist designing model engines.
It's obvious you missed my point in the above excerpted quote. You should reread it for better comprehension. Hint: Didn't say physicists were designing model engines.
CR
I know what you were trying to say, and you are wrong, physicists don't design model engines, nor the tools, nor the metallurgy. Not even a lot of engineers are doing that nowadays.
Carley, Sport_Pilot are correct, it is not difficult for a homemachinist to make his own model engine. The model engine are not a complicated engine to design and make. I know what i am talking because i has builded own model engines.
The basic knowledge are timing, compression ratio depent on which fuel are selected, stroke/connecting rod ratio, stroke/bore ratio and what the engine are designed to use either it is a sport engine or racing engine. Take a trying and failing and modificate the engine parts before the engine are a perfect engine.
