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
