    I am a machinist. Built my own small steam engine. I love this stuff...can't get enough. Steam is still king. People don't realize...between gas turbine engines, and steam turbine powered power plants, it's still used today. All over the world. Love it.

    I came from China, and this reminds me of my hometown and childhood. At the period of time in 90's, there were huge amounts of tractors used at my place called Fujian. When I hear the licker engine running, the sound was familiar and touching.

      Dave Micolichek some did..... I believe Fairbanks Morse had some flame lickers could be wrong. I know I’ve seen at least one.
      Could even be a locally produced tractor using what was on hand.
      There are
      Hit and miss tractors
      2 stroke
      4 stroke
      Steam
      List goes on .......lanz bulldog tractors used a concept very similar to flame lickers

    Small adjustments make a lot of difference for an improvement in performance.
    I miss working on motors, but unfortunately, my country is in a deep financial crisis and we have to work hard, I do not have more free time.
    Do you intend to improve the speed of this engine? I have some tips that can help because I know a video of a Japanese who made a homemade engine that reaches speeds of 1200 rpm or more.

    So the suction created by the flame in the cylinder when the valve closes is enough to make the piston cycle forward again. And the centrifical force of the flywheels is enough to pull the piston back. Thus as long as there is flame there is power. Not sure you could squeeze much torque out of one of these engines based on the fact that all power is generated from suction though.

    Thanks for the video, I was seriously looking at one of these because of the center crank & twin flywheels, its a shame the flywheels aren't true & you had to work on a very rough slide valve area, for the price...i think i'll just stay with a PMR #3 solar engine, they seem to run much easier & better.

    ahh, i see, it runs off the cooling of air. to start off, the valve's open and that lets hot air in, then it closes and the air cools and contracts bringing the cylinder forward.
    The inertia of the flywheels bring the cylinder back and open the valve ready for another cycle

    • @-danR
      @-danR 6 лет назад +12

      I don't think that's the complete answer though. The intake cycle is pulling _partially_ burning hydrocarbon vapor and the port closes just before the piston reaches the far end. I think the vapor continues to burn and give the piston an extra bit of shove through the remaining ~20 degrees of cycle to the end.
      This hypothesis could be tested by using super-hot air coming through a tube; this could be done by wrapping a copper tube in a helix, heating it red-hot over a large burner flame and blowing through the other end of the tube with the outlet near the intake port.

    • @Taunus-Tim
      @Taunus-Tim 6 лет назад +1

      The piston sucks in the hot gases and then seals up. the gases now cool down and shrink in volume, pulling the piston back forward. that's all. Problem is: the minimum pressure would in theory be a total vacuum. means that the difference in pressure is just 1 atm, leaving this concept with almost no torque to work with...

    • @g1ngersnaps149
      @g1ngersnaps149 6 лет назад +1

      ohhhhhh thx, bt couldnt u use it on a propeller since propellers dont have much weight resistance?

    • @Taunus-Tim
      @Taunus-Tim 6 лет назад +1

      Alexandre Ahlstrom that might work for low revolutions. Even though air is light and easy to move, it becomes quite a burden for the propeller if it starts to compress. (it will compress around the propeller and expand right behind it again) You can't get by the fact, that the power of such an engine is still really low. And it's against the law of physics to assume the propeller power could be higher than that of the driving engine. Power is always the product of force and speed. Because the torque of this engine is very low, you woulf need very high revolutions to gain some output power BUT this engine is also very bad with high speeds, loosing torque, because the time to cool down the gases becomes too short to produce a pressure difference. So there is not only low torque but also a maximum speed.
      It's a really useless engine and was never commercially used, even though it's about 200 years old.

    I love what you did To the engine however using a flame from a torch will wear down the engine mic faster as it’s not meant for that rpm

    if you link four of these engines, i think, that it will work much more smoothly...

    Would you do one by yourself? A bit bigger or smaller maybe with some changes and application of this engine

    Could you use the engine to power something like a toy boat? Just for kicks.
    I've seen videos where an toy boat is powered by a homemade engine that uses thermal exchange. Thumpers or knockers something like that.

      No, it's too heavy and vacuum engines are only 5% efficient and a car engine is 40% efficient so not enough power.
