Experimental Non-Compression Engine

Experimental Rowland non-compression engine. It's built out of random junk & scrap from a local factory that closed down. The engine was built in a day but took a week to get running. There's still some work to do to the exhaust valve. It will throttle (fire each revolution) but it's temperamental. The engine can run either way & is shown running on gasoline fumes from a vapor carburetor. Plans will be available later if anyone is interested, just e-mail.

is this an actual loyal cycle?

Hi Maxotromeros, it looks old because it was made out of old junk. It's a non compression engine with both valves ahead of the piston at TDC. Loyal cycle's have a compression stroke & usually there's an exhaust valve located half way back the cylinder of the piston stroke.

id like the plans for that

Interesting. I guess it can work on any explosive gaseous mixture.

looks and sounds like a poorly running hit and miss engine to me.

how does the intake setup work, venturi action?

cool engine i need to try one...thanks for posting

[darkpontobox]

I don't get how it works... :S

Nice build, I`ve been building my briggs non-compression engine, but very slowly, I still need a right profile cam and the adjustable ignition.

@nrowland56 I gust got confused because of that valve on the cylinder's top. you seem to know a lot about loyal cycles and I wondered why the loyal cycle engine you show in one of your videos hasn't got it's inlet valve on the top of the cylinder (that is the bottom in this case as it's upside down)but rather on the side.
