"Flying Saucer" Steampunk triple ltd engine

'The Flying Saucer'

This is a combination of three LTD (Low Temperature Difference )Ringbom engines, consisting of 3 cylinders,3 displacers and 3 power cylinders .

The engine works in accordance with the Ringbom system (the power pistons of power cylinders drive the oscillation of the displacers).

The heat source of three 20 W halogen lamps above the heat plates expands the air in the displacers cylinders.

It appears that it is very important for a Ringbom engine that the power piston and the displacer are shifted at a relative angle between 70° and 90°.

I used three engines to show how a radial motor works.

Cool, nice work. I never even heard of steam punk until about a year ago. After I am finished my giant killer robot. It would be neat to build a steam punk robot. We'll see. Check my vids for my robot
