Looking for hit and miss engine plans

[ibrich]

I came across this YouTube Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLxHC-ZvMF8&ab_channel=RickTaylor . Does anyone know if the plans for the engine in the video are available. I would like to purchase a set of the plans. I tried to contact the person who posted the video but no luck at all.
Thanks in advance,
Rich

That engine was designed by Phillip Duclos and is in one of the books he published, and is called a six cycle engine. Do a web search using his name---if you can't come up with plans, I will send you the correct name and i.s.b.n. number of the book.---Brian rupnow

Thank you so much for your help.

Hello Brian, on second thought please post the book's title and isbn.
Thanks again,

Thank you again. I did not realize that engine was in shop wisdom.

I'm interested in that planetary clutch. I can see lots of uses for that.

My Philip Duclos book has nothing about a planetary clutch in it.

My Philip Duclos book has nothing about a planetary clutch in it.

I looked them up on google. There are a lot of them available. Some of the smaller ones
were fairly reasonable. Might have to build something just so I can use one!!!

This engine resembles the Duclos engine in that it has the crank pin connecting the 2 flywheels together style(ala Harley Davidson) but that is about it. I did the overhead valve here and Philip's engine did the valve cage design.
My design is a 4-cycle but wouldn't take much to make it a 6-cycle. The 6-cycle is to help aid in cooling but have had no issues with over-heating even when under load and with a load, as with the miniature ice-cream making video, I needed more power impulses a 4cycle provides.
I haven't had time to do individual drawings for the intent of publishing and have moved on to other projects(clocks). Maybe in the future when I retire from the "9-5" grind and work-down the honey-do list I'll take the time to make individual paper sketches.
About the closest thing to individual sketches is the 3-D Inventor vid showing most of the individual parts in an assembly that might give some insight to my design. Later, Rick.
