Flame Eater Stirling Engine

The Fantastic Vacuum Engine

With a slight twist of the flywheel, the engine roars to life. The alcohol flame dances furiously and a lance of fire stabs through the rapidly working valve. The exhaust-like popping coupled with the clattering of the valve assembly causes a pleasant commotion that is music to the ears of those who enjoy the mechanical marvels of man. This is the exciting “Vacuum Engine” with a history that goes back to the early 1700s. It is the ultimate in craftsmanship, function, and beauty of design. This engine has a beautiful combination of fine wood grain and black base. It is highlighted by a polished brass cylinder and crankshaft standard. The massive flywheel, crank, and burner are nickel-plated. 

The Flame Eater wood base measures 6” x 9” and it comes with an alcohol burner. Completely assembled, factory-tested, and ready to fascinate you and your audiences with speeds of over 1,000 RPM. This engine is perfect for hobbyists, students, collectors, and experimenters. Completely assembled and ready to run.
