that's pretty awesome. indeed it has no purpose... but you took it from concept to design and made it run and that is pretty amazing. kudos to you.. makes me want to build one :-)
It took a total of about 80 hours work to complete it. At a modest $10 an hour I honestly doubt that anyone would be interested in buying it from me! LOL
As the piston draws back a reed valve on the front of the cylinder opens and the heat of the flame is drawn in. Near the bottom of the stroke the valve closes and the trapped air cools quickly enough to create a vacuum that draws the piston forward. The forward stroke is the power stroke. So it is actually the ambient atmospheric pressure that allows it to run.

It is actually a very free running engine.
The sound is of the atmospheric vacuum
on it's reed valve.

I appreciate the comments, but I can not take credit for the concept or design.
It was built to plans by Dr. J.R. Senft that were published in Live Steam magazine November 1980.

where did you buy it

I didn't.
It's home machined from plans.
It took a total of about 80 hours work to complete it. At a modest $10 an hour I honestly doubt that anyone would be interested in buying it from me! LOL

soo you ask $800 for that thing?
no offence but i dont see any freaking use in that thing?

Truer words have never been typed.
It has no purpose or use.
Once it was finished and made to run, it was tossed into a corner and a new project was
started. Once again with no purpose or use.
Just a personal challenge to make it from scratch and make it run....

It's basically an atmospheric engine.
As the piston draws back a reed valve on the front of the cylinder opens and the heat of the flame is drawn in. Near the bottom of the stroke the valve closes and the trapped air cools quickly enough to create a vacuum that draws the piston forward. The forward stroke is the power stroke. So it is actually the ambient atmospheric pressure that allows it to run.

It's all hand made from plans.

They are very finicky engines.
The power they produce is only enough to keep
them running.
When the cylinder get too hot the engine will stop.
