Hi - can you please tell me what is so special about this device ?!

Actualy, hit and miss engines were designed for economy. (old tech.)there is no fuel usage during the 'miss' phase. it is coasting. This engine will run ALL day on 1 quart of gas. (with no load). when a load is applied, it will hit every forth stroke, like a normal 4 stroke engine. Hope that helps.

cool! do you think i could make one of those out of a smaller compressor?

[av8navig8]

yep

[jack9102]

rly? liek, how? i have one, that didnt work, i got it to pump and i dont know how to make it into that-really cool man, great job

[ratheads]

I wondered if a piezo could do this !

[av8navig8]

yeah, I was told it wouldn't work so... However, it was a new spark plug, and the spark is not very hot, so fouling a plug after shutdown can be a problem. It ran for many hours with no problems, but restarting with an oily plug....well, it wont. Perhaps a quick shot of ether. but alas we'll never know. This engine was sold to a museum, in brooks Oregon. Many thanks to 'flywheelfarm'

..the genius behind this engine.
