Hi Chaps.

Had a frustrating, past few days. Can't quite get my thoughts, around the vague idea I have. For another Stirling engine.   :thinking:

The recent grimey weather has kept my creaking joints, out of the shop.  :(

Then, there's the spring cleaning......   :facepalm2:

Then, the once I actually did get in there. At the door, a plaintive voice began shouting, "I want to play with Grandad!" Game over.......


So...... I had a look in the toy cupboard.

This came to me, around 3 years ago. A Bengs, Flame Eater. "Nick".

It needs a burner.........




Don't like that weird "chimney"........




Only 1 flywheel.......





But...... This one is different to most of my orphans!



It RUNS! Sort of........

That's a nice looking engine Nick. Similar to but much more robust  that the poppin from the looks of it. Can't say I've ever seen one with a chimney, but it doesn't look all that much out of place either. And as you say...this one runs at least :)

Ok I will bite

What does the chimdy do, what's it connected to or is it just for show

Hi Bill, Stuart.

The chimney base, houses a 6mm dia. rubber ball. Which acts as a one way valve. Allowing pressure out. Keeping vacuum in......

Don't know why it needs to look like a Fieldmaster tractor exhaust!  :shrug:

Here's where it originated....... http://www.bengs-modellbau.com/materialkits/flameeater/flameeaternick.php

David
That's an interesting twist

I have heard of valves on Stirling engines but not on vacuum engines
