Introduction: How to Make Your Mini "Crank Shaft"

This an instructable on how to make a mini crank shaft for two pistons.

The crankshaft is the part of an engine which translates reciprocating linear piston motion into rotation. To convert the reciprocating motion into rotation, the crankshaft has "crank throws" or "crankpins", additional bearing surfaces whose axis is offset from that of the crank, to which the "big ends" of the connecting rods from each cylinder attach.

Materials required

1.cycle fork
