This is a Model Atkinson differential Gas Engine in slow motion.The video was taken with a credit card size camera and it came out in slow-ish motion so I added it to my upload list.
@Squarerig HI, The Atkinson Differential engine had a short successful run between 1886 and 1890
with well over 1000 units being sold. but when the Otto four stroke engine patent ran out in 1890 most
engine manufactures took the opportunity to start making four stroke engines. The market was flooded with four stroke engines and the price plummeted driving many manufactures out of business, Atkinson as well.

Slow motion? Look like fast slide show. D:
Try again with a high speed capture camera.
It will be pretty cool!
