Vacuum Engine with Internal Valve

This engine is build using the design and plans by Jan Ridders, http://heetgasmodelbouw.ridders.nu/ ,The Netherlands.
Several design changes have been made due to materials at hand, easy mounting/dismounting for cleaning after each run and personal preferences.
The engine does not have a prefered rotation direction.
At 1:52 the flame is blown out, to demonstrate the ramping down and up after re-lighting.

How do you like this engine. I'm thinking of making one.

@aaronlittell It's a loud and care free runner with a big flame; a winner!

I've just moved so I'm not able to make detailed pictures at the moment, but as soon as I have unpacked I will send them to you. Greetings, Jeroen

The timing is done automatically by the pressure change. Check the website of the designer (Jan Ridders) for an explanation and animation.

Do you have blueprints you'd be willing to share? Ive been looking for some that are this style.

Very elegant execution and modification of Jan's design. I am fascinated by your quick connect/disconnect mechanism for the connecting rod and valve push rod. Can you provide a more detailed description of how your quick connect/disconnect works?

Hi! I have a problem. I made exactly the Jan Riders motor (similar that your video except the flywheel) and not work.

[Neodymio]

I have seen that the valve opens before that the piston hit them (in defect, the residual air pushes the valve, but is like bouncing and you can see a groove an instant after the piston back off and not when the piston come and breathe)

I made the cylinder with no magnetic stainless steel.

I enlarge the flywheel to see if it worked, but not.

know what can happen?

Thanks for your time!
