PM Research Flame Licker engine Posted by: IndianaRog
Video duration: 117 seconds more engines at: www.indianarog.com This engine by PM Research operates on a novel principle of alternatively drawing and ejecting a flame from a port in the cylinder side. NO water, no steam, not a stirling engine either...works on an alcohol (meths) flame alone drawn in and out of the port with the cycling of an eccentric driven port cover.
