I got the Atkinson I built running here are a couple videos of one of the first runs.
I've been wanting an engine of this style for some time.

Thanks Chuck
I have a few build pictures that I posted on another site I'm not to good at remembering to take picture as I'm working on prodjects.
I built it from a book I had with some things changed to suite me.
I had been wanting to build it for some time. I still want to finish up the fly wheel and a couple other parts I want to paint but I'll do that after I run it more and get bugs worked out. The cab seems to be real touchy.

Here is a link to the book it was built from.

Hi Surfed into this very interesting posting on "Atkinson Cycle" Engines. This really is a very fascinating engine to see running.

I would like to share this video clip of an "Atkinson Cycle" Schematic it will explain how it works
