It is semi-diesel with pre-heating torches built into the heads for the hot tubes. It's in the anson engine museum, (see google); still photos only. It's very interesting to see the intake valve flap cycling on the right most cylinder where the cover has been removed for the video.
Is this the one with inlet ports/ transfer ports all round cylinder at BDC with exhaust ports above each inlet, using a piston with a kind of point on top, a different type of loop scavenge?
What does the vertical cylinder nearest to the flywheel do, please?

I'm saying that because it sounds more like an actual diesel engine than a hot-bulb engine.
