Outstanding, now I need to find out how they work. Thank you for sharing what must be hundreds and hundreds of hour work to terminate in such a beautiful engine.
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
@@AnonyMous-gt8vq Love it! A puff of flame only could be sucked in when timed right. Perhaps a very small pilot flame instead of a spark plug to satisfy the purists?
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. 👍
bob jefferson , thank you for the compliments, building was not too bad, it took about a year and not every day, I usually work around four hours a day for my hobby, it should not look like working. Kind regards Ed van den Berg
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.
What if to conserve fuel and avoid open flames a header was used to direct hot air into each chamber and use a single fire source? beautiful build by the way and a work of art so in this case open flames are cool...
A beautiful piece of model engineering. I wonder if you have measured the power? I can't imagine a vacuum engine of a simular size developing more power than this one.
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.
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?
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.
I was asking the same question. I am not a mechanical engineer, so the only clue I could think of is that probably some parts of the engine have to expand with heat for good enough vacuum to be achieved
Hello Michael Meissner. the programming didn't take that long, I think all in all 7 to 8 hours. I program quite simply X Y Z D, I don't need more. best regards Ed van den Berg
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
Hello Tim. These small engines deliver little power, but the larger version can deliver a few HP because the engines have large flywheels, so a lot of mass.
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?! :)
hey Oliver. I have no drawings of these four cylinders, but I do have the drawings of the one cylinder machine the Red Baron from which I made the four cylinder. the costs of this are €50 excluding shipping costs. greetings Ed
4:45 The impulse is regulated by the number of gears left in the starter wheel, in this case, about 1/3 of a turn. A mechanical regulator, I hope to learn its proper name. It is very beautiful, like everything else in this machine. Thank you so much!
great add a egr system on that you wont need fuel at all any more that is one of the fuel cells secrets with adition with plazma ignition and waste spark ignition system
Very well done shows vast mechanical skills which I do not have. If you get done playing with it and would like to sell it I may be interested thank you for reading my post
Beautiful engine, running so smoothly. thank you for sharing.
What a beauty. What a sound. This is by far the best model engine i have ever seen. Thank you!
Nice to hear that someone else likes Jan Hammer's music! Great engine, an absolute beaut
clanline35028 thanks
This is truly amazing how someone builds this thing from an idea. amazing work
cleoot091 . Thanks
Excellent! I love the roller bearings, push rods, and flywheel. That flywheel is straight too..I hate seeing janky wobbly flywheels.
Beautiful engine!
your channel is hugely underrated. all of your engines are so elaborate and well-built
thanks for the compliments
Outstanding, now I need to find out how they work. Thank you for sharing what must be hundreds and hundreds of hour work to terminate in such a beautiful engine.
That is I'm sure the most beautiful engine I have ever seen! I love the sound and I know I could watch that for hours! Amazing work! 👏👏👏👏👏

@@AnonyMous-gt8vq It's a vacuum engine

Pure artwork. You are a true craftsman sir.

I actually does resemble a inline 4 engine. I'm really glad a video like this exists.
That’s because it is ! You moron
Very smooth and quiet. Geweldig.
You are amazing! Incredible work. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks
Wonder what a radial would sound like? Fantastic work!
Thats a mechanical masterpiece, Ed. Well done !
bamsefar1 thanks
Excellent work must have taken a long time to build I have worked on marine engines it take me back an can appreciate the work that's gone in to it
bob jefferson , thank you for the compliments, building was not too bad, it took about a year and not every day, I usually work around four hours a day for my hobby, it should not look like working. Kind regards Ed van den Berg
Very nice build. I love it. I wonder if it could power some kind of device. That would look great on a bicycle even if only for assistance
Sehr schöner Klang!
The sound in slow motion is really nice.
Just came across your channel and subscribed. Very nice work
Thanks

This would make a good preppers generator, no carbs, fuel injection, or electronics. What's do you think the power output might be?
Pure genius!!
It is a real masterpiece. Bravo

Wow, top engine, thump up
that is a great little engine man. mad skills.

Thanks for the compliments, the air must be very hot but in theory it should be possible, greetings Ed
Could this run indefinitely -- so long as the flame or the heater is nearing to that inlet/outlet?
This is beautiful, well done.
A STUNNING CREATION
MAD MAC, Thanks
Would love to see it's mass production..
A beautiful piece of model engineering. I wonder if you have measured the power? I can't imagine a vacuum engine of a simular size developing more power than this one.
Amber Smith. If you make it bigger maybe, but not with this size

Very nice machine! A real 'vakman' :-)
Mechanical engineer extraordinaire ... dear Lord ..do you have any engines you could part with
I like the sound of this one... what event timings are you using for the valves, and what bore/stroke are you using?
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?
Why do you need to warm it up? Won't a cold cylinder mean a higher temp difference?
Very nice machine! But in my opinion too complicated :)
I would love to see this engine in a vehicle!
Awesome work! :)
Lukasz Bat . Thanks

I was asking the same question. I am not a mechanical engineer, so the only clue I could think of is that probably some parts of the engine have to expand with heat for good enough vacuum to be achieved
@@ArtemXify That is correct. two of the same engines behave differently one starts faster the other more warm up is needed.
How many weeks for programming the cnc?
Hello Michael Meissner. the programming didn't take that long, I think all in all 7 to 8 hours. I program quite simply X Y Z D, I don't need more. best regards Ed van den Berg
Do you have to Oil The Engine before each run?
Hello Simon, no not with every ride but if he has been standing still for a while or after two or three trips in a row. greetings Ed van den Berg.
Thank you for you answer👍
Simon Battefeld oke 🤜
Why dose the engine require a warm up time before starting?
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
Very impressive, congratulations. :)
Thanks
Ein kleines Meisterwerk und sehr Gut umgesetzt !
Mike Iceman . Danke für das Kompliment
Wow really nice I wish I had the equipment to make this it’s really nice though you did great
Retro Petro . Thanks
que belleza y que terminacion de la piezas
Thanks
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.
Fantastisch!! Sehr cool!
Can these produce enough usable energy to drive an automatic transmission?
Cool engine.
Thanks
grest job!
What's the output power of this engine?
great work
Wow! How? 😮😮😮
What is the max RPM of this engine?
worlddomin623, Hi ??? depending on how high the flam is, in my case I think about 200 to 300 rpm. greetings Ed van den Berg
Nagyszerű munka!
János Mrafkó Thanks, greetings Ed van den Berg
could have another engine (stirling engine) sopping up the excess heat from the unused flame.
I'm curious, any idea how much horse power it produces?
Hello Tim. These small engines deliver little power, but the larger version can deliver a few HP because the engines have large flywheels, so a lot of mass.
nice video bro and good Invention
good engine but not his invention
Smooooooooooooooooooooth A+
How much does it take gas or whatever in hour/Liters. Looks good idea to me!
Should make one with enclosed flame travel chanber
Would you ever consider selling one in kit form?
bfarm44, No not really, that is too much work. sorry Ed
SUPER.
Thanks

RadioControlledAF, Not one, I am already happy that he turned well
Yout can build one FOR me?
Plans for sale?

Excellent
Chris Est '67 Thanks
So how much power does it make can you do anything with it make electricity or run a sewing machine or something
What is it's torque
Inspiriert vom Lutz von Bengs?
lordofbasement Jawohl
I want one
Abe Coulter. I am sorry but there is only one, and I keep it myself. greetings Ed van den Berg
Why don't you try a engine that can use easily and filter h2O from sea water.
Vaccume + sea water = release -H2O and -Energy
КРУТО.
Very similar to engine u-boot.
It's look like sewing machine.
great add a egr system on that you wont need fuel at all any more that is one of the fuel cells secrets with adition with plazma ignition and waste spark ignition system
какая мощность?,кпд?
никакая. мощности хватает только для того что бы двигатель крутился. кпд - мизер.
wow
