Indiana model engine show!

[55fairlane]

Well with the fall of N.AM.E.S. we felt it was time fo grow our show, so I am here to announce our model engine & hobby show. Technically this our 26th annual, but our first time holding the show separate from the tractor show, but that's another story.
October 14th (that's a Saturday) just east & south of New Haven, in wonderful Monroeville Indiana.
We have a large pavilion at the city park, located at 421 Monroe St, Monroeville Indiana 46773
THIS IS A FREE SHOW, FREE TO EXHIBIT, FREE TO ATTEND, FREE FOR VENDORS (a free will donation will be accepted)

see running internal combustion engines, sterling engines, steam engines, machinist projects ...... lots of well-known exhibitors will be in attendance. All of these wonderful projects were designed & manufactured by some of the most talented machinist around!

Food & beverage on sight.......this is a city park, playground &parking right at the pavilion
plan to attend....this will be fun


Yes I am the chairman of this show, no I don't 1 penny I am a total volunteer

I did ask a mod ( @KellyinAvon ) if I could post this

Monroeville? Nothing good comes from Monroeville!

Just kidding. I have some inlaws that used to live just north of there on Maples Rd.

4 different stroke lengths?

Guess it makes sense to change things up. Ahem.

Atkinson engines are neat, they make all 4 cycles (intake,compression, ignition & exhaust) in 1 360 degree revelation of the crank shaft. Also gears no cams.
Today Toyota among other use Atkinson technology.
I'm not 100% sure but I don't think any engines were produced other then pattern drawings.

Sorta. They use offset cranks and variable valve timing/lift to simulate the factors and effects of it without being truly an Atkinson cycle. Near enough to call the result Atkinson Cycle I guess.

Is this a model version of a hit-and-miss engine?

No, that is a steam engine, that runs via you blowing in the intake pipe.....just a mini miniature . You will note I'm holding the engine in the palm of my hand.

Here is nicely done hit & miss for you. Just to give you a "scale" those flywheels are about 8 inches in diameter

Love to hear what that sounds like when running!

You can hear (and see it) run , plus about 300 other engines as well.....
