Here is a video about a product I use to keep myself well. I like cutting edge technologly, whether it is related to engines, machining, particle physics, or health. If after watching the video you want more information, just write to me.
Hello there, my name is John Nijssen.
I am located in Apple Valley California.
I have 34 years of Engine Building and Automotive Machining experience. I am ASE certified in Block Machining, Cylinder Head Repair and Engine Assembly since 1990
I provide High Performance Engines, most with longer stroke crankshafts.
Increasing the stroke length increases the cubic displacement, which in turn increase the low speed torque, which can then be shifted into more horsepower.
Long stroke crankshafts are ideal for street performance vehicles, as well as race cars.
The increase in torque results from the
extra cubic inches, the longer stroker lowers the peek power in the RPM range.
Over the last 9 years of building engines out of this website I have provide a wide variety of custom applications, taking on many projects the mass production shops stay away from, these types of engines have become my specialty. You will find in this site pages I have build to show examples of engine combinations I can do. I invite you to visit other engine building web sites to compare pricing. Because I keep a low overhead I don't need to collect as much profit and can offer a lower price on the higher end motors. If you are looking for the lowest price on a 400hp motor you might find it on ebay, but if you want something "killer" you might want to contact me.
Currently I am doing more with alternative fuels and expect to introduce a line of unique engines in 2009.
You'll notice I have filled this site with photos and videos, that's to make the site more interesting to visit. I get thousands of visitors but only hundreds of customers, so I wanted to make the site "eye candy" to the "motorhead", I am not selling engines from my website I am show casing and inviting you to contact me, that's all.

The First Flight? Pearse himself, in two letters, the first to Dunedin’s Evening Star, published on May 10th 1915, the second published in the Christchurch Star on September 15th 1928, didn’t believe, by his own rigorous standards, that he had achieved ‘proper’ flight. For him this meant a powered take-off followed by "sustained and controlled flight". Pearse’s flights, characterised by powered take-offs followed by erratic descents, failed to meet his own criteria. In the letters he states that he set out to solve the problem of aerial navigation in February or March 1904, and acknowledges that pre-eminence should be given to the Wright brothers. They flew on 17 December 1903 and achieved aerial navigation in 1905 and achieved aerial navigation in 1905. However, as Pearse’s biographer Gordon Ogilvie, points out, "… a great deal of eyewitness testimony, able to be dated circumstantially, suggests that 31 March 1903 was the likely date of this first flight attempt." One or two eyewitnesses have mentioned the date of March 1902 as the first take-off date, but with all surviving witnesses now dead and no extant documentary evidence, the claims are likely to remain unproven.
1 Multiply the speed in MPH by 5,280 feet per mile. The result is the speed in feet per hour. For example, 55 MPH is 290,400 feet per hour.
Step2
Divide the speed in feet per hour by 3,600 seconds per hour. The result is the speed in feet per second. For example, 290,400 feet per hour is 80.667 feet per second.
Step3
Alternatively, for a quick and dirty estimate, adding 50 percent is close enough (accurate to better than 2.5 percent).
Step4
To convert feet per second into MPH, multiply by 3,600 seconds/hour and divide by 5,280 feet/mile. For example, 50 feet per second equals 34.09 MPH. Alternatively, simply divide the speed in feet per second by 1.4667 (seconds*feet)/(hours*miles). For a quick estimate, take off one third and you'll arrive at an answer accurate to better than 2.5 percent.
