The flame (1)
is sucked into the cylinder (2) and a valve (3) closes the cylinder. The air in the
cylinder gets hot, expands and pushes the piston out. Because of missing
oxygen in the closed cylinder the heat escapes and the air cools down very
quickly. |
The operating cycle of
the Vacuum Engine
Our latest models are fine Vacuum Engines.
It is possible to regulate the
speed (rpm) by
changing the distance of the flame to the engine. |
The volume in the cylinder contracts. The atmospheric pressure (1 bar)
pushes the piston back with the help of the flywheel (4). The valve opens
and the process starts again.
In 1758 Henry Wood took out the
patent for the vacuum engine |
