A vacuum engine (also called flame-licker engine, flame-engine, flame-dancer) derives its force from air pressure against one side of the piston, which has a partial vacuum on the other side of it. At the beginning of an out-stroke, a valve in the head of the cylinder opens and admits a charge of burning gas and air, which is trapped by the closing of the valve and expands. Towards the end of the stroke the charge comes into contact with a water- or air-cooled part of the cylinder and is chilled, causing a sudden drop in pressure sufficient to suck the piston – which is open towards the crank – back on the return stroke. The valve opens again in time for the piston to expel the burnt gases before the next out-stroke begins.
Features:
1, High Craftsmanship: Selected quality materials, made of pure metal, the overall polishing is meticulous, the color is bright, it is not easy to rust and fade, looks very beautiful.
2, Safety Design: The alcohol lamp has a fixed lamp holder for safer and more reliable.
3, Working Theory: burning alcohol lamp provides heat power to make the expansion of gas inside, then the gas molecular internal power increasing and working strongly to the flywheel.
4, Widely Application: Great educational toy for classroom or laboratory experimental teaching aids, cultivate children's interest in physics, more intuitive and easy to understand. Also, great gift for your friends or families; Or can be a super addition for home decor.
