The latest issue of farm show magazine came today. I was leafing through it and came across an article about a Paul Gorrell of Burlington Iowa that built an ALL WOOD hit-n-miss engine that actually runs!!

Cool!!:-)

Since wood does not transfer hear, Gorrell designed the engine to cool internally. The engine cools itself by drawing air in and out of the exaust port three times between firings. "There are three in-and-out strokes between firings, which is what cools the cylinder walls. Halfway down, the intake stroke becomes a power stroke so I"m getting two cycles out of one stroke, which accounts for the odd one. I eliminated the compression stroke to get rid of heat." Says Gorrell.

Kirk: I just subscribed to Farm Show and received my first issue today. I saw the wood fired engine you're referring to. Interesting!

I haven't had a chance to read much of the magazine yet. My initial overall reaction was, "Interesting stuff, but impractical". I hope I'm wrong. I don't subscribe to many magazines.

Saw this engine at Old Threshers on Labor Day weekend. He takes his show up the road there every year. Has a lot of interesting stuff, heavy on Crosely. Has been across from the first aid station by the food pavillions for years. A must see if you go, One year had a display in the museums too.
