Video is a primer on the hobby of building model engines. Featured here is the Atkinson Differential Engine. This engine is built mostly out of barstock aluminum. The flywheel is machined from a 10 pound gym weight.
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.
