LOL!! As in true Little Engine style, I am changing the subject to avoid answering the questions!! You cannot condemn someone for speaking his or her opinion as you declare in the next post of yours on this thread. Go ahead and report me to SI admin and get me suspended!! If you succeed I promise never, ever, to turn over that lovely private message you sent me a little while back<g> to SI or to the threads for all to see. Revealing your identity would be the easy way out. Besides, I like you, Little Engine. You made one huge mistake about 8 months ago. Your "dreamgirl".... Jane of California

Little Engine, I know who you are. "FlameSucker" This unique little engine is powered by the heat from a open flame. The fuel tank is located inside the engine frame. The pipe containing a wick can be seen leading from the tank to a position just in front of the intake valve. Denatured alcohol is used as a fuel because it will produce a flame without soot. When the flame is lit the flywheels just need a gentle turn to start the engine running. As the crankshaft pulls the piston back the hot gas of the flame is sucked thru the open valve and into the cylinder. At the end of the stroke the valve is closed, trapping the hot gas inside. The trapped gas is cooled by the water in the hopper, and a vacuum is created in the cylinder which pulls the piston forward. At the end of this stroke the valve opens, the piston starts to move back and the cycle continues. The engine runs at about 300 RPM and emits a nice little popping noise. Just about sums you up full of trapped hot gas and emitting a nice little popping noise. :o) ColinD
