Manson engine's modified as "Metronome"

Hi guys!

I start to make a new engine from my old Manson fan engine on the last weekend.

It was really rusty and it looks like something scrap there.

But the engine base was pretty good condition!

I was lucky!

:)

I took off the fan, also the crank and rod.

Cutted off the tube where was the valve originally.

After I connected to the pipe a 62 cm long

ID: 7 mm tube.

It was the load for the "Metronome" effect.

Do you remember for my earlier post?

Ok!

There is the working method.

Anyway...the engine works well.

The torque is pretty good 

and if I can change the tube with a spiral silicone tube 

then it will be much more compact. 

I need to make a cold side ventillation version

because then the engine could cooling down himself.
And later I can pressurise it!

New drive control units for my beta type Manson engine

Hello guys!

Two weeks yet and I'll start to build my double cylinder, closed air cycle, beta type Manson engine 

in Transylvania.

Woohoo! :)

I'm so excited!

I had thought about the driving system of this engine this entire weekend, and the conclusion was that it would be made with excentric drive.

But I also developed a new "teeter" drive mechanism for an another beta type Manson engine.

I made for you an animated GIF about this drive control unit:

Also here is my other vision the X-drive mechanism especially for my Manson engines:

And another one...

:)

This is a 3D animation what I made with SolidWorks professional.

I'm a beginner and this is my first animated assembly, 

but you can check how does it work.

I used a simple drive unit, it is pretty nice.

Manson/Ericsson hybrid (Kovács caloric engine)

When I started to optimimise the original Manson engine that was in 2010. 03.

After I built my first hot side ventillation Manson engine with regenerator.

In 2012 I try to make a valveless Ericsson engine and then I had a Heureka feeling! :)

I crossed my two favorite engines in one. 

I called it Kovács caloric engine. (as K.C.E.)

This engine has some typically Manson properties as simplicity, high torque, not much moving part, BETA formation, but the cycle is Ericsson caloric cycle. 

The biggest different between the original Ericsson and my hybrid engine is the numbers of power strokes.

The original engine had one power stroke, when the heated gas expanded.
The other stroke was an exhaust stroke.

My engine has another one!:)

When the pressure dropped down in my engine then pull back the power piston. 

So this is a pretty NEW engine!

My problem wasn't enough money for patent pending.
But it is a "Who cares?" thing.
I shared it, so if you can build one, just do it!
:)

Simple drawing from the engine's two end points:

and an animated how does it works GIF:

I know these are just some schematic drawings, but the working method is simple.

I hope you understand it perfectly.
