this home experimenter makes something AMAZING…

Also known as an atmospheric motor this device does something really cool. This is a brief intro from the experimenter on what he has made:

This is a video of the flame gulper engine pictured on the “Models” page of the Engineman website. The fuel is alcohol. It was made from plans in the February 1950 issue of Popular Science. Modifications were made to replace the castings originally specified, as I doubt they were available forty-odd years later. My model has run a lot – whenever visitors drop by and at a few exhibitions.

@1:05 in the video be careful!  Never try an experiment like this or build a device that uses flammables without the supervision of a professional.  The comments have been disabled in this video and I imagine they were very spirited.

Watch this totally awesome machine in the video on page 2
