I was wondering if there are any modern day hit and miss engines or ones that operate on the same principles? The idea of hitting and allowing inertia to provide energy is appealing. I am thinking of something capable of driving a low pressure moderate volume air compressor, as well as expelling the exhuast through the positive pressure side. Any ideas would bre appreciated.

Not that long ago they were being made in China. Wouldn't be surprised if they still do. I've got some oil field engines, Witte's and LeRoi's. One guy told me that one ran for 13 years without stopping for anything. Finally something happened to the magneto, I guess. I've also got my grandfather's old Fairbanks Morse Model H, except my uncle ruined it by attaching an axe head to one of the flywheels. Split lots of firewood and still has his thumbs.

There is a company in Australia that mfrs. new hit and miss type. Right now I can't think of the name. If interested call on one of our Aussie friends. They have thousands of old H&M engine down there and hold shows just like we do here.

Ryan, I know there are some hobbiests out there that build them but, they are usually small scale and not the big two ton engine that produces 10 hp or something. I am not aware of any being mass produced.

That's why they been using them in oil fields for centuries. Check out oil field bone yards but it's going to cost you to resurrect some of those engines.
