UK exhibitions and training company EDM has delivered a giant Formula One racing car engine to the Ring°Werk action museum at the Nurburgring circuit in Germany.
The walk-through and see-through model measures 7 x 6 x 5 metres and is intended to demonstrate the workings of a real engine to visitors to the museum, which opened on Saturday. Visitors enter the exhibit by passing under its 2m-diameter cooling fan and can then take a detailed view of the workings as they pass along a slowly-moving piston, crankshaft, valves and camshaft. The model uses lighting to show the combustion cycle. Components were built up using layers of fibre-reinforced composites. EDM has also supplied model windtunnels and a historic racing car cockpit for the Ring°Werk museum. © PE Publishing 2009 |
