Strange but simple engine.
RussellT:
Well now we're more or less agreed on how it works, the problem is how to describe it. It's sort of a one and two half stroke cycle. Half for induction half for power and one for exhaust. However that's not really accurate because the induction is less than half and exhaust is more than 1 and power is probably more than half. Perhaps the original description is best ("strange").
After working out how it works I'm quite impressed with it. If I were planning to build an IC engine my first thought would be two stroke or 4 stroke - and if someone had a competition whose rules banned two or 4 strokes - I'd be thinking Atkinson or 6 stroke cycle. The builder of this one has gone his own way.
I think the Anson Engine Museum has an internal combustion atmospheric engine dating from the 1850s.
So I just googled it.
I was wrong it was made in 1877. Here's a link.

You mean me? I did indeed ponder an internal combustion flame licker, I even got well along on the project but it is presently sitting on the shelf with a couple of other uncompleted jobs, perhaps I will get enthused again soon? :palm:

Yes, John I did, sorry I wasn't more specific!
