  2. Glow plug (model engine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glow_plug_(model_engine)

    A glow plug engine, or glow engine, is a type of small internal combustion engine [1] typically used in model aircraft, model cars and similar applications. The ignition is accomplished by a combination of heating from compression, heating from a glow plug and the catalytic effect of the platinum within the glow plug on the methanol within the ...

  3. Stirling engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stirling_engine

    Power piston (dark grey) has compressed the gas, the displacer piston (light grey) has moved so that most of the gas is adjacent to the hot heat exchanger. The heated gas increases in pressure and pushes the power piston to the farthest limit of the power stroke. The displacer piston now moves, shunting the gas to the cold end of the cylinder.

  4. Model engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_engine

    After starting the engine can easily be leaned (by adjusting a needle valve in the spraybar) to obtain maximum power. Glowplug engines are also known as nitro engines. Nitro engines require a 1.5 volt ignitor to light the glow plug in the heat sink. Once primed, pulling the starter with the ignitor in will start the engine.

  5. Stuart Turner (company) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuart_Turner_(company)

    Stuart Turner Ltd was incorporated in 1906 [2] and started to produce model steam engines, gas engines for domestic electricity, lathes, etc. Stuart Turner went on to produce further model steam designs, and in 1906 there were nine models in the range. By 1907 more space was needed so premises were rented at Market Place in the centre of Henley ...

  6. Applications of the Stirling engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Applications_of_the...

    A desktop gamma Stirling engine. The working fluid in this engine is air. The hot heat exchange is the glass cylinder on the right, and the cold heat exchanger is the finned cylinder on the top. This engine uses a small alcohol burner (bottom right) as a heat source

  7. Carbureted compression ignition model engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbureted_compression...

    The engine is started by reducing the compression and setting the spray bar mixture rich with the adjustable needle valve, gradually increasing the compression while cranking the engine. The compression is increased until the engine starts running. The mixture can then be leaned out and the compression increased.

  8. Tether car - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tether_car

    Tether cars are often small (less than 1 meter in length), powered by a non-radio controlled model aeroplane engine (two stroke, glow plug, piston liner, etc.), and run on fuel supplied by a fuel tank within the car. Since 2015, electric motor driven cars, powered by batteries, have also emerged. [2]

  9. Étienne Lenoir - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Étienne_Lenoir

    The engine was a steam engine converted to burn gaseous fuel and thus pushed in both directions. The fuel mixture was not compressed before ignition (a system invented in 1801 by Philippe LeBon who developed the use of illuminating gas to light Paris), and the engine was quiet but inefficient, [4] with a power stroke at each end of the cylinder ...
