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. Cox Models - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cox_Models

   Nitro- and gasoline-powered tether cars with .60 cubic inch miniature engines capable of speeds of 100 mph (160 km/h) were quickly becoming popular. Cox's first contribution to that growing hobby was a cast aluminum midget racer powered by a .09 and .15 engine by Cameron Brothers of Chino, California.

7. Applications of the Stirling engine - Wikipedia

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

   However, a modified Stirling engine has been introduced that uses concepts taken from a patented internal-combustion engine with a sidewall combustion chamber (US patent 7,387,093) that promises to overcome the deficient power-density and specific-power problems, as well as the slow acceleration-response problem inherent in all Stirling engines ...

8. 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.

9. Hot air engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_air_engine

   Devices called hot air engines, or simply air engines, have been recorded from as early as 1699. In 1699, Guillaume Amontons (1663–1705) presented, to the Royal Academy of Sciences in Paris, a report on his invention: a wheel that was made to turn by heat. [6] The wheel was mounted vertically. Around the wheel's hub were water-filled chambers.
