Seeing the valves popping @5:10 reminded me of the U-96's diesel engines in Das Boot when the mechanics were flaming off excessive gas and the petty officer passed through and said, "That's a good way to waste fuel!"

Maybe one could make the engine more efficent by using an injector and spark plug to time the flame exactly when it is being sucked in. You could also adjust the speed by adjusting the amount of fuel being injected. Compression ratio would still be limited to 1 in this type of engine though

Sehr schöne Maschine. Man könnte über den Flammen noch ein Rohr anbringen und in diesem dann gleichzeitig noch Kaffeewasser oder Teewasser heiß machen . Quasi eine richtig "moderne" Kaffeemaschine. Dann an Sonntagen so ne richtige Zeremonie gestalten . Klasse gebaut jedenfalls. 👍

I actually does resemble a inline 4 engine. I'm really glad a video like this exists.

The sound in slow motion is really nice.

Wonder what a radial would sound like? Fantastic work!

I like the sound of this one... what event timings are you using for the valves, and what bore/stroke are you using?

Some engines have a hood over the flame inlet so the flame doesn't come in contact with the engine parts above it, might reduce the carbon buildup. I wonder if there is a way of adjusting the amount of the flame in time with the inlet opening so as it opens the flame gets bigger, and when it closes the flame reduces. I know these vacuum engines were very inefficient in their day. Lovely work.

This would make a good preppers generator, no carbs, fuel injection, or electronics. What's do you think the power output might be?

could you control the engine's speed by varying the temperature of the cylinder walls too? aka higher temp difference? what sorts of problems would that cause? perhaps a liquid cooled version?

Excellent work! I apologize ahead I'f I'm mistaken, but It looks like you've made the cooling heat sinks on the cylinders out of Aluminum, press fit to a brass cylinder. Aluminum and Brass don't get along. they eat at each other through a process called Galvanic Corrosion. Again If I'm wrong, I apologize. I just hate to see a lot of work go bad due to mismatched materials.

Elnyne Hey. there is a brass bush in the aluminum exterior, so the cooling water comes between the bronze cylinder and the brass bush with an extra aluminum bush around it for cooling.

CockatooDude . For this model very little he runs that's enough.

Why do these kind of engines need to warm up? I thought the cooler the cylinder is, the better, since it takes its energy from the temperature difference between the flame and the cylinder wall.

Is it possible to build a larger version of this type of engineer? I mean that would possibly weigh up to 200 pounds and above if possible.

could have another engine (stirling engine) sopping up the excess heat from the unused flame.

Can these produce enough usable energy to drive an automatic transmission?

Why dose the engine require a warm up time before starting?

@241975dm

3 жыл бұрын

If the machine is too cold, it cannot start because the difference between hot and cold is too great, so you have to warm it up first, if the machine gets too hot, it will also stop because the difference between hot and cold weather is too great . greetings Ed van den Berg

What I do NOT understand is why they engineered these engines upside-down! Consider this: if the flame inlet were directly in the center of the top of the cylinder head with the flame directly above that inlet, and then you TURNED THE ENTIRE ENGINE MECHANISM UPSIDE-DOWN, then those four flames wouldn't have to be blazing away wasting 90% of their energy into the atmosphere; they could instead be tiny little flames efficiently entering those inlets, couldn't they? Why do I have to do all the thinking around here?! :)
