Hi Everyone, just thought I would introduce myself. I live in Nottingham and have an interest in manual and CNC machining . I'm currently building a couple of flame eater engines of Jan Ridders Design.
Hello Steve and welcome from someone who lives near M1 Junction 28 so not far from you. There was a flame eater in an American magazine many years ago and I didn't fancy the flame being produced by meths (childhood memories with Mamod) so I built in parts from a gas lighter and that seems to work fine.
Thanks for the warm welcome, Brian I'm a junction south of you. I thought about using a Gas flame on my next engine. Mainly to keep the cylinder free of moisture.
Quite interesting, I've been tinkering away in my workshop for all these years and never really thought there were many like minded people close by. I should of joined the forum years ago.
