This video shows the new dead simple linkage that activates the displacer piston. The crank pin is from the pedal of an old excercise bike. It has ball bearings at both ends of the tube so it has no problem with the side loads caused by the offset at the the top of the conrod. As you can see it is still very much a work in progress but I am very impressed so far – it still does not have a cooler and you can see how far down the heat has spread. Imagine how well it could run with a propperly insulated burner assembly and a water jacket at the bottom! You will have to excuse the noise – I temporarily wired a block of steel to the flywheel to help counterbalance and rattles and ‘dings’ Hope it was worth waiting for, subscribers. Im sorryit took this long to update. (if you havent already go and see my other vids and the evolution of my engines) Thanks.
