Abstract
A partial design for an optical access engine was acquired by the University of Southern Queensland from Oxford University in the UK. It is the desire of USQ or specifically certain faculty members to include an optical access engine in their engines laboratory.
The purpose of this research project is to take the existing partial design from the early 1990’s of Professor Richard Stone’s (Oxford University) and develop it into a useable design of which the University can invest in. for their laboratory.
Due to time constraints it was not possible for the entire engine to be designed and detail drawings produced so the engine was designed from the bottom end up to the top of the optical bore which on a normal engine is the top of
the cylinder block.
Included in this dissertation is a report covering the need for engine research and the place of optical access engines in research. A literature review of various optical access engines and discussion of their types and uses. Finally a report covering the methodology of the design and the results of design calculations with a focus on balancing and component design. Detail drawings suitable for workshop manufacture and calculations are included as part of this dissertation as are recommendations for future work.
