My Zombie Engine Build

[tlmartin84]

One of these will run a long time on just fuel vapor..............Is the intake port blocked off? from the video I can't tell, but it kind of looks like it is.

I would think you could block it, and have enough storage in the "head" for the motor to run awhile.

Notice how it speeds up, it get s a "gulp" from somewhere.......

I also noticed a hose hanging below the tank after it was removed, I am not sure what it is for, but I don't recollect that being there in my days of gokarting.......

Back in my youth I remember my old side valve BSA running on after I killed the ignition. This was especially noticeable when it was carboned up. This"could" be happening here but stopping it with the plug lead still has me scratching my head.

Either he has developed the elusive perpetual motion machine or he converted the magneto/flywheel to a simple pulse type electric motor.

There is enough room under the engine cover for a small battery

Waiting patiently for the vid!!!!

you guys know if it is any fuel type , There would be exhaust fumes, even if he is able to converted this to a 2 stroke engine that runs premix oil/gas like any other 2 stroke engines and store the fuel in the crank case. But the engine have no exhaust fumes, and does not needed spark to ignite, It produce spark because of the flywheel type, probably some kind of hall sensor to detect the spark to open a current for the electric motor to run inside and stops when he ground the spark wire. took few more revolution to stop as well, typical of a permanent magnet motor?

Here is the video you have been waiting for!!

This one clearly has some type of combustion getting to the bottom of the head at least.

I wish I had this kind of time

 

[dogdog]

genius...

 

[mbatarga]

neat!

Now I can die a happy man.

You were right in the video; I'm making the argument that you turned the intake port into a rudimentary carburetor.

 

[bluebolt]

Well after seeing the reveal video this was simpler than I thought. I did have one thing right. From my previous post. "There is a tiny fuel line running behind the pull starter cover going to a needle valve in the intake port and there is a small fuel tank and electric fuel pump hidden in the board underneath the engine".

 

[countryroad82]

Cool!

A device is something you can hold in your hand. There was no device here, just an intake port. Also a fuel mixer was a fuel mixer, long before there was a carburetor.

While the conversion was a clever gimick, I'm not sure I see a point to it. The intake port was clearly converted into a rudimentary carb that was controlled via fuel flow rather than air flow. Quibbling over whether it was a device or not seems pointless.

I agree, but in the definition of carburetor it also requires a variable way to control air and that controls speed. I controlled it with air and fuel. I would consider it a rudimentary fuel mixer. Ask any old timer that works on or restores hit and miss engines and they will tell you quickly the fuel mixer is not a carburetor. I built it so I guess I can call it what I want, it's actually a duck, yep that's what it is, a duck.

Very cool project!

That was real fun to watch. Cool project.

open up the valve lash to limit the valve opening. That will limit rpm

Thanks for getting us all thinking on a different level this week, pretty cool!!

I watched the videos, that was pretty neat. It shows a fair amount of ingenuity and drive to succeed with the desired results.

LOL.....So when are you going to do SBC?
