Howdy, I’m building a different version of my own design. It will have the flywheel doubling as a triple port 1/3 speed flame intake and have an open ended cylinder sans cylinder head. Once I’m done I’ll post it. Thanks for your demos.
Thank you, like many others your video helped me get my engine going. Needed some adjustment. I also added a star power spare flywheel, making it 2 flywheels.
We also have bought a Flame-Licker Engine from Star-Power to ge some experiance with thise type of engine. As a part of our studies in mechanical engineering at the university, we are ment to build a 5 cilinder star-flamelicker-engine. A watercooling, build out of a piece of small 4mm diameter hydraulic pipe wraped aound the cilinder and an even shorter piece of coppe pipe diameter 25mm as a cooling reservoir was our best idea to help the motor to stay cool while runing for a longer time than 2 minutes. As said in the Video, lubricating with powder (in our case graphit) ist the only way to gain any stability in running and the highst possible revs. Our record with the Star-Power motor is 1400 rpm. The engine only stops runing, because the fuel tank gets empty. The watercooling does a quiet good job, up until temperature around 85-90°C
I was suppose to buy this one, because it look good, but, I'm wondering why, after a while, the system stop, whereas there is still a flame to initiate the mecanism ? From what is due ?
Latheman666 Mass dampens what exactly on this machine? "Thin Oil" has too much friction or viscosity? I'd see that the problem with thin organic oils is they'd carbonize too easily?
Beeping sound is from the stove. He's running the machine on top of it... and he accidentally touched the controls. (It's one of those fancy modern thing with touch controls on the surface...)
Could not get mine to work until I made the valve fit tighter against cylinder head. Closed the gap where the valve slides through. th-cam.com/video/BTEpt2lFp3M/w-d-xo.html
FINALLY! Someone shared the information so I could TIME my same engine. It never worked form the day I got it as a gift. Thank you Latheman. Paul
Thanks! I bought one of these because of your video, and got it working by looking carefully at your diagram to get the valve timing correct.
You are welcome. Glad I could help you.
Latheman's crazy machines

Please where to buy another flywheel for starpower?

Martin contact me at mikeyjwalking2015@gmail.com
If you pay to ship, I will give you one.. Are you adding a second flywheel? I did, and I love it..
Yes I wish to have a motor with two flywheels. It looks much better.

I can't get the timing for the valve right, any description?
Great explanation at the end.
Is'nt the flame too high in position to the intake port?
I hade made it but not working , I have no athenol so I use kerocine to operate it is that reason ?? Of not working engine

interesting engine , I had never Seen before. thanks for the video and a detailed description.
That is neat thank you for the explanation at the end.
What if multiple cylinders would be stacked and that flame and valves would be shrouded, then one flame could provide much better efficiency?
Great for exhaust powered windshield wipers in antique cars! 😁
could i use pencil for lubrication?
Hey, what is the diameter of the cylinder?
please upload a video how to made this at home
Maybe you could solder a piece of copper pipe to the top of the cylinder vertically and fill with water for cooling.
Can this engines run either way just wander thanks for shearing.
I didn't realise they are so temperamental, could it be because it's just a cheaper one?
They are cheap, but nicely made. Mainly it's because they are so small. Bigger ones are less temperamental.

"Thin Oil" has too much friction or viscosity? I'd see that the problem with thin organic oils is they'd carbonize too easily?
This Vacuum Engine is like a hybrid between a Sterling Engine and an Internal Combustion Engine?
How inefficient is it to a sterling.
Pretty bad, stirling are much more efficient but not as fun
and there good for ????????
Can you get me the planes please?
Silva0197 which model? dc10 or 747
Motor mesmo pequeno é valente!
Quick drop of cooking oil or WD40 works good in mine.
надо горелку ниже поставить.

"The touch field of my stove doesn't want to be touched." Anyone care to translate into English?
Beeping sound is from the stove. He's running the machine on top of it... and he accidentally touched the controls. (It's one of those fancy modern thing with touch controls on the surface...)
