3 Stroke Model Gas Engine From Engine DIY, Will It Run? Cheap But Fun!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 сер 2024
- This was the cheapest gasoline engine (at the time $125.00) that Engine DIY offers, I ordered one and after it sitting on the back burner for quite a while, we'll open it up and see what we've got. According to the description on their website: "The novel and exquisite new energy engine model can run on gasoline, kerosene, methanol and other fuel. Instead of the two of four strokes of ordinary internal combustion engines, this model is a three - stroke internal combustion engine, without the process of compressing gas, for low speed and high torque." The construction and materials used on this engine clearly reflect its low price, but it uses a 12V buzz coil! I'm sure that this engine will be subjected to several upgrades in the future to not only improve it's run ability but also the overall look of it. Thank you all for watching, commenting, sharing, and subscribing.

Just checked. Price now $160’s. Guess your review was watched by manufacturer ! Your videos are working . Good job !
I really doubt that this video would be considered as an endorsement by them, I would have to think that price increase is due more to inflation than my time in the shop. (This model has been on the shelf for 18 months)
@@steam212 Believe it or not, I've just received an automated email in my inbox from Enginediy with your quotes "Will it run? Cheap but fun!" with a direct link to your video and another link to this engine on their site with your video embedded. I think they really have paid attention!
"I am truly...pretty much speechless" lol ...Had a good look at this awhile ago. What a funny little thing. I seem to remember it runs on anything too. I loved this vid
This video captured where my brain went into "recalculating mode" . I can't wait to fiddle with it to see what we can do with it. I would like to see how it operates on various fuels too 🤔. I'll be sure to leave the shop door open so we can all have fun together
Bonjour,
Latest information given on my video :
"The first copper-plated piston is a pump to power the engine (kind of volumetric compressor) and the 2nd is the engine with a slide valve which serves as an intake/exhaust valve, and the tank acts as a carburetor (air-fuel mixture)",
This last point explains why my inlet pipe was not cut and I use a special gasoline called in France "essence F" as it accepts different ones.
That does not explain where this e,gine come from and the lack of compression without ignition... Hit & Miss...tery 😁

If its stupid and it works, its not stupid
👍
You're exactly right.
It just shows almost anything is possible with hilariously scrap parts with a creative mind. There's a more 'refined' version of this 2-stroke design on EngineDIY (sold as a 'hit and miss', but its not), with a separate displacer cylinder and a 'see through' combustion chamber cylinder, with almost all metal parts, that also uses a glass vapour fuel tank. It spins a 'lot' faster at up to 6000rpm. I wonder if its related to the Brayton Ready Motor design.
Thank you for posting this particular engine. I spotted it a while ago, someone had to take one for the team!
I was pretty skeptical about it when I clicked the "confirm order" button. Now that it's here in the shop and we've had it running..... I can PROMISE you that it'll be modified and refined. We're all on the same team here, I was happy to take it 👍
@@steam212 Looking forward! This video gave me a laugh. You could try testing it with your alcohol vapour tank that you've used with your H75 engine.
@@joxthefox-jv1qi ABSOLUTELY! It will be a great project to diddle with here and there. I'll be sure to share what I do with all of you.
@@steam212 I'm subbing for this, this thing is wacky
@@scrambledmandible Welcome to the shop 👍
Holy shit Rube, it runs! Fug, now I have to get one.
If you get one, I'm sure it will baffle the squirrel in your shop too 👍
That's just nuts! Maybe if you put a Tee fitting in the feeder line with a fish tank valve, you can get rid of the lacerated hole and get a little more consistency in operation...
... but, then again, we just might obliterate the absurdity of it all... hmmm
Thanks for sharing this, I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard at a goofy engine since I started up a Chevy Stovebolt Six with bent pushrods and sent the entire shop class scrambling for the exits!
I thought the same thing, "I could add an adjustable air bleed to this and it would make sense then". I can only imagine what the others thought when that stovebolt snorted, farted, belched, and clattered to life all within a few revolutions. You can't beat a straight 6!
the bypass line needs a t peace with a needle valve
so that it can be dailed in
I agree, we'll be working on it here and there just to improve some of it's "features" 👍
Now that IS hilarious!😂 Who would have thunk that hole in the power cylinder feed line was intentional? I'm assuming it's a 'vapor' engine (i.e. it runs off the vapor from the fuel in the 'tank'). I don't see any actual liquid being drawn from the tank. Like a hit & miss, the exhaust valve seems to be the only controlled valve in the system, and the slit in the line lets most of the combustion pressure out, allowing more fuel to be pushed into the power cylinder via the 'pump' cylinder. Sounds logical, right? Looks like your crank trigger could be a little closer for more reliable spark? I've never actually seen an electronic buzz box coil. Talk about modern retro!🤣 A guy could probably use mechanical contacts and a Model T coil for the same effect, but whatever!
You nailed it, it runs on the fuel vapors, and not atomized liquid fuel like a carbureted engine. If you click on the video link that pops up in the upper right corner, I did this to an H73..... IT WORKS! I fed it everclear (moonshine). Now that you mention the idea of using a Model T buzz box and a relay....... We'll give it a shot, I see no reason why it wouldn't work. Thank you for watching and commenting, you guys are GREAT 👍
Highly amusing . Long upright screws ? Maybe for transport ?
I have absolutely no idea what those are there for, I thought for a bit that they were including some more spare parts 👍
Vapor bottle carb dual valve is the answer 😂
We'll be working on this one again to refine some of it's "features" and I can promise you that the induction of fuel vapor is on that list. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍
How is the speed governed? Or is it always in “runaway” ?? 😅
There is no governor on it at all. The only way to somewhat control the speed is to adjust the mixture by closing the air bleed hole in fuel line. We'll be working on it now and then to improve some of it's "features" 👍
Bonjour,
Quite funny, and weird engine ! I would have like to buy also one, so cheap, but I don't see it on their site, would you be able to share a link with us ?
Amicalement, Raphaël
I hope this helps, thank you for watching and commenting 👍 www.enginediy.com/collections/gasoline-engines/products/mini-horizontal-single-cylinder-three-stroke-engine-gasoline-kerosene-methanol-internal-combustion-engine-model
@@steam212 Bonjour ? (I prefer real first name 😉)
Many thanks for the link, I have immediately ordered it even if the price has significantly increased, it remains reasonable. Il will not hesitate to ask you some help if I can't start it by myself.
Amicalement, Raphaël
@@steam212 Bonjour,
So bizarre, just received, put on the table, gas plus battery and... it runs as yours ! Many thanks for this discovery so original ! I will also make a video (in French) and will make a referece to your channel for my English followers 😉
PS : I noticed a leak at the level of the cylinder head, it is it is intentional, I unscrewed it, there is a notch next to it at the cylinder level.
Maybe it replaces the notch you made in the fuel inlet pipe because mine didn't have one.
Amicalement, Raphaël
@@rhavrane That is fantastic! It is really a neat little engine in how it operates. I was very surprised that it ran that well. I'm glad you got one to experiment with. I'm looking forward to seeing your video 👍
@@steam212 Bonjour,
I have shared this video ua-cam.com/video/EoOTqsABUvE/v-deo.html with members of English or French forums and no one is able to tell me where this engine comes from as the chinese manufacturer has not invented it.
Never mind, I will go on following your channel to find possible new ideas as I am first a steam then an original vintage engines passionate 👍
Amicalement, Raphaël
Does it have any torque?
Very little, but there are no provisions for an output pulley to test it. It is very easy to slow it down with your finger on the flywheel. No where near as much grunt as a conventional style engine with the same displacement has.
tray for water cooling !
You're exactly right, I did add water to the tray and continued to run it for another 15 minutes after I ended the video. It ran great until it sucked most of the vapors from the tank. When I wouldn't stay running (even with the hole plugged) I dumped the remaining fuel out and tried to light it, it would not stay lit. All in all, this was a fun video to make.
Hi, We have this engine too, but we hear you say, that you mix fuel for the engine-- what is the mix you use???
We would like to know!!!
@@dorsmotors8x I use VP race fuels 40:1
Terrible workmanship but, Jings! it runs...Ah wid bet ye cud put an air valve on the intake line tae adjust the air intake mair precisely. Ah' m fae Scotland an ah hae ne'er seen ainythin like this. BTW, it's ae 3 stroke engine in principle
I know that you are speaking english , but, what did you say?
@@joesenkalowski7912 We need to put an adjustable air bleed on the intake hose going to the power cylinder. I'm pretty sure
We will add an adjustable air bleed to it and see what else we can fix on it too 👍
I worked with a brilliant Scottish electrical engineer once. In 20 minutes she explained
to me, the millwright, and my pipefitter partner the problems we were having with a hydro servo system: oil pressures, limit switches and PLC controls.
She was totally right. She walked away and we looked at each other and asked , what did she say? LOL.
I just don't know what to say😳
It is terribly fantastic 👍
