I actually thought I had an original idea about this back in ~'94 - back in the 'pre-interweb' days --- wrote up a patent disclosure for it...... I didn't find out that it had already been thought of and developed much earlier until ~2014. I was imagining a 4 stroke or diesel at that time, rather than a 2 stroke.

It really is a pretty cool design when you think about it..... a hi torque/short stroke/hi revving engine. One of the biggest drawbacks is the need for two connected cranks, but it really does seem to harness more 'work' out of the combustion cycle.

Training a signal engineer in the UK in 1962. I think people were much smarter back then. I fear we could not create a similar system today. This includes the design, manufacture, assembly and maintenance of said system.

Low tech is the new high tech.

Saw an interesting article on SiCo Maxim 9 and posting it up here for others. I know there is at least one Maxim 9 owner on the forum :bigsmile:
https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2021/06/04/silencerco-maxim-9-mini-documentary/

Includes footage of the only full-auto maxim 9 at the SiCo facility, presumably in Utah :thumbsup2:

Interesting historical pieces on lesser known Cold War bomber aircraft

Convair B-58 Hustler


North American XB-70 Valkyrie at USAF Museum in Dayton, OH (only extant aircraft)


Mid-Air Collision and Crash of XB-70 Valkyrie on Test Flight
Resulted in loss of 1 or 2 XB-70 prototypes and the death of experienced NASA Chief Test Pilot Joe Walker and the XB-70 co-pilot Carl Cross.

A Russian plane was developed to counter the Valkyrie that never went into production.

We used to go to Wright-Patterson every few years with my scout troop when I was growing up in Kentucky

The museum was much smaller back then. I think the Valkyrie was the biggest plane they had at the time, might still be

It was impressive sitting over everything else. It felt like walking under a ginormous spaceship as a kid

Yeah, I watched that video this morning. Pretty interesting. The part about a new trigger coming out with the non-NFA Maxim 9 caught my attention . . . I'd love to be able to retrofit a better trigger into that gun!

So jealous. The list of aircraft on museum display is unbelievably impressive. There's two things on my aviation bucket list:
- Reno Air Races
- Visiting the Wright Patterson AFB Museum of the USAF, so much history there

Hi Steve I couldn't remember who exactly had the Maxim. There's another cool article on the SiCo armory underneath their manufacturing facility. Definitely drool worthy
