I hope you have someone to pass on your knowledge to. I wish I had someone to teach me such skills, I am a sponge, and I just do not have anyone to learn from. It is hard to learn such things through books and even videos.
What could these engines be used for?
How much torque do they have?

@olive1913 It's called a hit&miss engine. there is a mechanical govenor that prevents the ignition from firing once it is at a predetermined RPM, but allows it to fire when RPM's fall below the set point.

I'm sorry pissing anyone of here, I really don't intend to troll or something like that. As I'm familuar with some engines, most of theme have a round cycle, this engine sounds like it has a lot of "offs" meaning it doesn't ignite or misses strokes. Pls tell me how it works :)

@olive1913 There is a govenor rotating under the gearbox at the front of the engine. When the revs exedeed the designed speed the govener kicks in and holds the exhaust valve open which prevents the engine firing until the speed has dropped again.

how does the "ignitor" shown at about 0:55 in the video work ?
brovo13dude 1 month ago
@brovo13dude A cam pushes together 2 contacts and then realeases them quickly.The circuit includes a battery and low tension coil. As the points break a spark is made.

@myfordboy I'm by no means an expert in the field, but had you ever considered using a piezzoelectric ignitor? or is it less reliable than your current setup?
TheWelshl33t 1 week ago
@TheWelshl33t The low tension igntor is very reliable and was used in the origional engines so is the prefered choice. I know engines have been made with piezo ignition .
