Atkinson Differential Model Engine

[gripchion]

That is awesome GF!!!!

JS

[Squarerig]

These are masterpieces of engineering.I congratulate you.

[Films4You]

Neat. Not very noisy for the size, the Witte is almost silent.

[jozafax]

Great little machine !

[twinman009]

boy oh boy thats nice work :)



[VolkgartenBySquirrel]

Yummy little monster! Good work here. Thank you!

Oddest engine I've seen, and I've seen some odd steam engines.

[tpvalley]

if all 4 strokes happen in one revolution thats a 2 stroke?!!

[JRBeaman]

@tpvalley stroke is a cycle.

With a two piston device it takes 4 piston-strokes to make one revolution. revolutions are not strokes. Go back to school.

[tpvalley]

on opposed piston engines, fairbanks and morse for example, they are classed as 2 strokes even though each cylinder has 2 pistons.

one revolution is 2 strokes, thats why the fairbanks engine is called a 2 stroke as u get power for every 2 strokes of each crank.

Gentlemen please

[claymodeling1]

Thanks for posting this! What kind of mind that must have thought of this in the era of ink wells and quill pens! Amazing!

[gwheyduke]

Great video, your opening picture is MY Wall Water Witch , I attached a video made the first day that I got it running on the test stand.

[MrChubs1]

hahahaaa The guy narrating is so bad that I almost thought he was trying to be funny. Love those lil engines, but listening to smeone read THAT poorly made it so much more worth watching.

[platypusone]

@MrChubs1 stop commenting on other people's videos. You have no tact.

[Renwysocki]

The mechanical loss is enormous, there is no advantage.

[qwertymac93]

if only auto makers would switch to rotary atkinsons, maybe we would be getting 40+ mpg in our f-150s...maybe.

[cornholeklink]

almost had an orgasm

[phdclockwork]

Dave Ginery books rock

[peckerwood57]

Wow! It looks like it is boxing itself.

[airgeek11]

would this work good in a model airplane

[goodvolts]

Absolutely! However, I doubt that it would ever leave the ground.

I believe this design is destined to be a stationary unit.

[toomanyhobbies1975]

What a cool engine, where did you get the plans for the engine?

[goodvolts]

Thanks for the nice comment. The basic plans are from the book by Dave Ginery "How to Build the Atkinson Differential Engine". It is currently running on propane and runs sweet.

Thanks

[toomanyhobbies1975]

Thank you for the reply - maybe I should have paid attention to the first 3 seconds of the video. The exposed linkage of the engine makes it s joy to watch.

The Toyota Prius uses the Atkinson cycle in their engine too!

[actualreverend]

Wow, I just read that Ford is going to use it in thier plug-in hybrid too!

[qwertymac93]

ford already uses it in the escape hybrid.

[ferdinandusjrz]

Fantastico, eres mi idolo. Buena coleccion de motores.

Gracias por tu video.

Saludos

[Bobsmax001]

WOW Fantastic i wish i had the skill to build one
