A Different kind of model engine-easy to build.

A Hybrid Engine Design Using Thermoacoustics at URL <http://www.angelfire.com/ut2/texubaco/>
Looks pretty simple in practice and fairly complicated in theory.
Here is the source version:

See the links for photos, schematics, & text.

Yeah, I know it's not I.C., BUT IF you are interested in something different and you like to build models: It is external combustion! AND it is INTERESTING!
