Product Description

THE FLAME EATER

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.
