Thanks for your response. It was a great help. Since you responded so promptly and clearly liked to do one more question, a little easier I think. The type of angle arrangement described by you is equal to the internal combustion engine crankshaft arrangement with the same number of cylinders (3). It can therefore be valid the following? -> internal combustion engine crankshafts arrangement= stirling enginecrankshaft arrangement? Or is only in this special case? Tkx.

@olemac20 Timing on piston engines depends on lots of things: torque distribution, balance, possible torsional oscillations in long shafts, cycle type (cylinder pressure as a function of crankshaft angle) and probably some more.

So, i would say that there are just too many variables involved to safely confirm your conclusion.

[olemac20]

Wath showld be the correct cranckshaft arrangement for this type of engine (i meAN, with the 3 cylinders)? I can't see very well on the video. Tkx for u time.

@olemac20 for a 3cyl: follow the link in the video descr. box to "crankshaft" ; ((1st DC 0deg - 1st PPC Xdeg)),(( 2nd DC: +120deg relative to 1st DC, 2nd PPC +120deg relative to 1st PPC)), ((3rd DC: +240deg relative to 1st DC - 3rd PPC +240deg relative to 1st PPC)).

DC - Displacer Crank

PPC - Power Piston Crank

X - angle dependant on: desired side of rotation and the angle between the displacer and power cyl. axes.

If this seems a little dry, just delete cyan and magenta and replace 72 with 120

what is your piston made of and what cans are they made from?

1:00 for start. thumbs up for convenience!

[shackwrrr]

I love the sound, Reminds me of the engine room of a ship or WWII sub

[kwdaye]

Does it have any torque to it ????

[autiger817]

This is just amazing.

[thomasstunts]

awesome. ever try adding an alcohol flame to it?

[davamta]

a je to :-DDD

@oSHOLLIVERo WD40 is a Water Displacer... Hence the name WD40... took them 40 tried to make it, for the government. it was used to remove water from ignition systems in WW2. Then someone thought it made a great penetrating oil. It doesn't... the best penetrating oil is a 50/50 mix of ATF fluid and Acetone.

WD40 adsorbs up water... just pour some into a clear glass and check it in a week or so... all the white stuff is water.

@olemac20 great engine...excellent workmanship

[Kpeamop]

power?

[oSHOLLIVERo]

@nolanpoepoe WD40 is a degreaser, it is just like pb blaster

[whitebird77]

omg, yr engine dun even need a starter or a hand crank.

Why our car's engine cant be design without the needs of a starter.

[JohnDeere30201]

reminds me an awful lot of an old 75 hp fairbanks morse engine
