This outboard motor was used on the Dragon Class yacht ‘Frolic’ 880295, owned and raced by Gordon Mchaffie of the Royal Canadian Yacht Club of Toronto between 1965-1983. The motor was created by the British Seagull company. The British Seagull was a British company based in Poole, Dorset, that produced two-stroke outboard engines from the late 1930s to the mid-1990s. Model 102 first went into production in 1936 on a small-scale production, but soon a larger production as consumer demand increased. Their “Classic” engines were renowned for their durable simplicity and reliability, setting a standard for many years. However, the company faced challenges as customer preferences shifted and stricter emissions regulations were implemented. In 1996, the production of complete engines ceased, leading to the company's ultimate failure. Ce moteur hors-bord était utilisé sur le yacht à Classe Dragon ‘Frolic' 880295 qui appartenait à Gordon Mchaffie qui était un membre du Royal Canadian Yacht Club. Il a utilisé le moteur hors-bord pour faire des courses de yachts entre 1965 et 1983. Une compagnie Britannique sous le nom The British Seagull produisait des moteurs à deux temps en Angleterre à Poole à la fin des années 1930 jusqu'au milieu des années 1990s. le Modèle 102 a rentré en production en 1936 sous une échelle réduite pour commencer. Leurs moteurs “Classique” était renommé pour leur durabilité et simplicité. La compagnie a fait face à plusieurs défis quand les régulations démissions ont changé et ont amené les préférences des consommateurs dans la même direction. En 1996 la production des moteurs a pris sa fin.
Function
The artifact can be attached to the stern of a small boat, in this case a yacht. The object has a small internal combustion engine that has 1 cylinder and a 3 ½ - 4 HP engine. This artifact was used to power the Dragon Class yacht 880295. Cet artefact est conçu pour être attaché à la poupe d'un yacht. L'objet est un moteur à combustible qui a un cylindre avec un Puissance entre 3 ½ - 4. Celle-ci était utilisé pour propulsé le yacht à Classe Dragon 880295.
Technical
In outboard engines, fuel and air are burned in a closed space, known as the cylinder; this burning process generates hot gasses that try to expand. The only way for the hot gasses to expand is by pushing the piston downward; the piston is connected to a rod, which is linked to the crankshaft. The crankshaft converts the piston’s downward motion into a rotating motion of the shaft. Two-stroke engines are known for their simplicity and affordability. They are lightweight and compact, but oil is mixed with the fuel to lubricate the internal parts and during the combustion process. Some of the fuel mixture from that process escapes with the exhaust, resulting in wasted fuel making them less fuel-efficient and also noisier as well as posing risks in the form of water pollution. This outboard motor has a simple design and most motors from this company are hand built with “Old World Craftsmanship”. Des moteurs hors-bord brule du carburant avec de l'air dans un cylindre. Ce processus va générer des gazes réchauffées qui essayent d'agrandir. La seule façon pour l'expansion des gazes dans un environnement restreinte est de pousser le piston vers le bas. Ce piston est connecté à une tige qui est liée à un arbre moteur. L'arbre moteur converti la mobilité descendante du piston a une motion de rotation. Les moteurs à deux temps sont connus pour leur simplicité et leur faible prix. Y sont légers et compactes mais l'huile est mélangée avec le carburant pour lubrifier les composantes à l'interne du moteur. Ceci fait en sorte que le mélange va s'échapper pendant le processus de combustion et les rendre moins efficace et plus bruyant en plus de polluer nos eaux. Ce moteur hors-bord a une conception simple et la plupart des moteurs de cette compagnie sont construites avec un travail artisanal de “l'ancien monde”.
