    The "None Compression Engine". I need info.

    Ralph, The only experience I have with IC engines is from fiddling with lawnmower engines and so on. And as a science teacher I know the theory, but until now I've stayed away from trying to make one because the work has to be so accurate in order to get proper compression and working valves...

    You're forgiven :D I'm only glad that more are interested in the non compression engine. From what I can see, you are indeed quite skilled with a lathe etc., so maybe you can be a forerunner whose experience I can benefit and learn from. Thanks for all other replies too ;)

    The "None Compression Engine". I need info.

    Yes, Jan Ridders (Who is mentioned above), has used a spring loaded ball valve for intake in his engines. He only - as far as I have seen - use the vapor carb to feed his engines. He actually sparked (get it??) my interest because of that simple carb when I realised that I didn't have to build a...

    I made this drawing (PDF file on my DropBox) of the funktion of the non compression engine - as I understand it! I hope I'm not way off :-\ http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6297142/NonCompressionEngine.pdf

    The "None Compression Engine". I need info.

    Thanks for the replies and links! Peter, Yes there must be at least some vacuum to suck in the vapor/air mix from the carb. However, as the exhaust valve is open all the way when the piston goes up, compression does not happen. ;) Anyway - this very simple and unusual functioning is why I'd...

    My YouTube links doesn't seem to work that well (what did I do wrong?), so here are the links again: 'Ugly' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9lW2RHXFFg 'Nice' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocA_JQ4sZSI

    The "None Compression Engine". I need info.

    Hi there, Sitting here in cold Scandinavia, I am thinking of future projects and found this forum so I joined up right away. My status is newbie both here and in engine building, but I am fascinated by the 'None Comprssion Engine' and would eventually like to build one. I found one post here...
