Witte Headless Model Engine 00:52

This is a repleca of engines built near Kansas City in the late 1800's - early 1900's. The engine here is machined out of bar stock materials (no castings). The fuel system is a bubbler with a mix of lantern fuel and alcohol. A fly weight on the side of the flywheel controls the engine speed by holding the exhast valve open giving it a hit & miss common on early engines.

  • Anvil Fireing 00:47 Anvil Fireing

    Two 95 pound anvils are machined out to hold gun powder, placed one on top of the other, sealed with peanut butter and a fuse. The top anvil (shooter) is blown up in the air 300+ feet with a goal of landing as close as possible without hitting the first anvil. Note the last picture with the shooter buried deep.
