What on earth did Wayne buy now? (not a joke and not a car)...

Neat little internal and external combustion engines!
Thank you for the video. It made most of them a lot clearer.

Was that a salad shooter I saw on one of the vids?

We know you couldnt resist touching the spark plug wire with your finger and winding up the crank. "Yup that one works".

Nope...it's a spare flux capacitor.

German machines were notoriously good at achieving their purpose. Which leads me to suspect these were assembled for the perverse purpose of making grown men scratch their heads.

Sure look like educational demonstration models. Have seen a few through the years of different conceptual ideas.

Is this how something was prototyped and evaluated before CGI?

They look cool.

Wasn't as interesting until I saw them move... Fascinating.

I think the second and third units in the video are variations of Kauertz engines...

The unit at 3:30 looks like it could be a Virmel but can't quite tell.

Found a video from somebody who made an air-powered Kauertz engine:

These look a lot like the scale models of various engine designs that are housed in the Museum of Science and Industry here in Chicago. Complete with handles and lights to allow museum goers the ability to see how the engines work.

The exhibit here has dozens of different types of engines from steam, magnet-based, etc.

These look like those.

Perhaps they were models fabricated to demonstrate the designs for a museum, university or for a company to show clients….

Cool either way you cut it.

I have more information that I am working on, can't post it just yet. Stay tuned!
