OTTO LANGEN 1867 ATMOSPHERIC ENGINE

Built by Gerard Versluys - part 2

Machining the eccentric straps, bearings, etc.


Continuation of the adventure ... a little carpentry for the base, realization of the two levers, the pawl, the gas intake / exhaust system, the flywheel. According to the direction of rotation of the flywheel it is by going back down that the piston is driven and not by going up by the explosion, as I thought at first.


Part one here.   Part three here.
