Flame Licker Engine Powered Automobile

FlameLicker model car traveling on it s own power. As the car moves about the counter top, the resulting air currents cause the flame to dance from side to side, varying the vacuum engine s speed. A builtin notch in the cam, causes the flywheel to move up and down slightly, while running. Here s how the engine works: as the sliding valve on the front of the engine opens to the hole in the top of the cylinder, the piston is near the end of the upstroke and starting the down stroke. The down stroke action, sucks hot air from the flame into the cylinder. At that point, the valve closes and the cooling fins on the outside of the cylinder cause the hot air inside the cylinder, to cool, causing a partial vacuum. The bottom of the cylinder is always open to the outside air. The partial vacuum, inside the cylinder, enables the ambient air pressure to force the piston from the bottom towards the cylinder head, powering the engine. The valve opens again, as the piston reaches about 75 of
