Beautiful Engine! People don't understand just how sensitive these engines are and how hard they can be to start and run. They need to be properly adjusted and you did a perfect job of adjusting it, and it runs nicely!
To hell with all these negative comments. Those desk jockeys have no clue. This is a beautiful engine...i like the dual flywheels. I like that it runs slow. I love all the brass/bronze. It looks great. Kudos to you.
This one by far exceeds my expectations as it demonstrates real quality and bigger size. If you make these to sell then please provide a link to Buy. Good job.
What a nice piece of machinery. I wonder what the piece with the ball bearing ball on top is for. What kind of function does it have? Other engines of similar principle seem to do well without that detail.
Howard Maryon-Davis During induction, the flame extends from the source into the cylinder. The tallest (hottest) portion of the flame, is still burning... but INSIDE the cylinder. A "flame licker" engine is a negative pressure engine. The engine "eats" the flame (the hottest state of the gas) and post combustion vacuum from the cooling gasses draw the piston back for a short period during the return stroke. The exhaust you hear is the stored energy of the flywheel forcing the remaining uncooled gasses through the port. In short, it would be a waste of burning fuel to not allow the engine to "eat" as much as possible. You want the reaction to occur inside the engine... leaving just enough behind to sustain the flame.
+Mick Carson The flame heats the air that is sucked into cylinder on the pistons down stroke, the valve closes, the air cools causing a vacuum, drawing the piston back up the cylinder, the valve opens and the cycles begins again :-)
¡Con tanta cuerda como le das al principio no me extraña que funcione!. ¡Así cualquiera!. Es broma; está bien que muestres que la vida del inventor no es sencilla. Gracias.

What a thing of beauty. Normally flame lickers are very simplistic in design so it's great to see a much larger one with a more complicated setup.
For the first four minutes it's a finger powered engine with a lighting system.
Behold! The finger powered engine with a flame at the end!

Most flame lickers need a few minutes warm up time, then they start more easily.

Yes. Look for Stirling engine.
It's probably a de-compression valve, to release any pressure from the end of the vacuum stroke
Only a thought, but is the flame a bit too high vertically? The hottest part of the flame is more towards the top and is above the aperture.

Awesome engine and nicely machined!
Ain't gettin' me on no flame sucka !
I like how simple this engine is.
Why are they all so hard to start?
Runs smoothly.😊
Beautiful machine work and construction----complete with ball bearings! Thanks.
Isn't the retaining spring to strong?
do you have any plans to build this big flame liker
I nearly fell asleep waiting for it to start, but cool engine.
Nice engine, but what does the flame heat?
+Mick Carson Thanks. Here's an animation that shows how it works: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_engine

What does the MoS2 do for you? Is it just a lube or does it burn?
Just a lube (but a very good one)
They always love some oil, i use a thin engine oil in mine.
For loooong runs
I think If you made flywheels from a different metal it would looks better
Just an idea
Thanks for sharing this video
or how dose it work? thank you love these videos and have been subed for quite a while thanks again chuco
its such a strugle to start it
Krzywe kola zamachowe powoduja doratkowy opór przy obracaniu sie, pomijajac to ze polowe filmu go odpalal, to znaczy ze projekt jest taki sredni
Only 1 flyweel would be enough. It would probably run faster when you remove the right
(Looking from behind) flywheel.
Very very good 👍 👍 👍
the flywheel doesnt spin true
The flywheels are to heavy for the size of the cylinder.
Immer wieder ein Augenschmaus, Deine Flammenfresser.

Gracias.
its just like the engine of the titanic
seems a rather inconvenient way2put out forest fires
a flame gulping hit and miss engine... wat
latheman bạn người ở nước nào?tôi ờ việt nam cũng lathe, sở thích giống bạn, toi mua máy nhiều về cũng chỉ làm đồ chơi , không có kinh doanh
yes
Lol old man engine
Not that you can make one....
Yanlış yeri ısıtıyon
Baler engine.
Par for the course with this bloke, spends most of the time getting the engine to work and the video ends, what a waste of time
World of AMEISO your time was never valuable to begin with anyways
You ever thought about not doing these videos, save everybody a lot of wasted time...
You ever thought about not existing, save everybody a lot of wasted oxygen ...
Rubbish.
boring
