2. Glow plug (model engine) - Wikipedia

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

   The glow plugs used in model engines are significantly different from those used in full-size diesel engines. In full-size engines, the glow plug is used only for starting. In model engines, the glow plug is an integral part of the ignition system because of the catalytic effect of the platinum wire. The glow plug is a durable, mostly platinum ...

3. Cox model engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cox_model_engine

   The engine was designed for the 1/2A Texaco RC duration competition. The engine has an additional fin on the larger glow plug which dissipates heat better allowing the engine to swing a larger propeller. i.e. 7 or 8 inches. This engine has a red 8cc fuel tank and a black crankcase. Original 1989 engines did not come out with 5 fin glow plug.

4. Model engine - Wikipedia

   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. Stirling engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stirling_engine

   The heat source may be provided by the combustion of a fuel and, since the combustion products do not mix with the working fluid and hence do not come into contact with the internal parts of the engine, a Stirling engine can run on fuels that would damage other engine types' internals, such as landfill gas, which may contain siloxane that could ...

7. 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]

8. Jetex - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jetex

   The exhaust gas is not excessively hot, which confers a safety advantage. Motors are loaded with one or more solid fuel pellets and a combustible 'wick' is led through the exhaust nozzle to ignite the fuel. Fuel and wick were manufactured by Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI). The engine casing of the early motors is made of an aluminium alloy.

9. Radio-controlled car - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio-controlled_car

   Engine size is related to the class of car; 1/10 scale on and off-road vehicles usually are equipped with .12–.18 cubic inch engines, with 1/8 scale vehicles using .21–.32 cubic inch engines. There are exceptions, with many Schumacher and Thunder Tiger/Team Associated RC models being good examples of unusually large engines coming as ...
