Elbow engine

[mklotz]

Do you have any drawings or schematics on the inner workings, and what you can't see because of the flywheel? Just curious to learn more.

Thanks for sharing with us!

The original plans for the Elbow Engine are here...

My version incorporates a number of deviations from the plans to accommodate the tools and materials I had available but functionally my engine is the same as the plans.

Because the engine is totally symmetric it can be reversed by merely interchanging the inlet and exhaust attachments.

If you're a fan of unusual and complex mechanical drives, you may enjoy watching the Almond right angle drive in action...
