Nice video! I really like the slow-motion shots of the mechanism. Thanks!

Sounds like we've flushed out the fact that the project is currently owned by a third party. Therefore it's time for the admin or poster to take down the items to help prevent the spread. I for one am glad to see that HMEM is a group that cares about this topic. Thank you, Todd.

Thanks Harry. My guess is that the guide and seat are not concentric. I'll need to make a small cutter to re-cut the seat using the valve guide. I will have a running water cooled engine though. That's also new for this year.

Sharing a photo of the air cooled prototype in its present form. Most likely will not be running at Cabin Fever. It looks like I have a leaky valve. I do not have time to correct and still get ready for the show. Should easily be running for NAMES. I do have a running water cooled version...

Dead wrong on that one. The plans are for construction of one item, not to be sold unless that one licensed use is still available. Same on the digital content. (Go check out Model Engine Builder magazine on that one.) This topic has gone down far enough and should be closed. Todd.

Well said. Thanks, Todd.

Thanks Doug! cobweb81; I did some more digging on the Inter-web and found a thread over at SMOKSTAK. From that thread, Mike Pershinsky near York, PA bought the 1/3-Associated in air and water cooled as well as the 1/2-scale olds...

BTW, I sent Doug Cvelbar an e-mail last evening to see if he is the current owner of the project or if he knows who is. I'll post a response if I get one. Todd.

LorenOtto. Great point and a nice way of looking at things. Treating these projects like books as you say works well in that, typically, the drawings and castings travel together until someone builds the model. In the case here, Cobweb81 purchased a set of castings, presumably knowing he...

Thank you Cogsy. Great point! As the current owner of one of Mr. Breisch's projects (a Robinson-style Stirling engine), as well as numerous designs produced by Paul Jacobs, provenance of intellectual property is a REAL issue. The Breisch-designed Stirling engine project has passed through two...

I'd recommend checking with Doug Cvelbar of Ministeam/Executive Model Design. I know he has the 1/4 scale Olds and thought he had the 1/2-scale. Another one to check with is Bob Herder. http://www.ministeam.com http://www.minicastings.com http://bobherder.tripod.com/index.htm

Great Job! Beautiful. It sounds like such a happy little engine. :)

Thanks! Enjoy the build and be sure to let me know if you run into any snags or have any questions. Glad to help any way I can. Todd.

Hello All, Just a short note to let you know that we intend to release an air cooled version of our 1/3-scale Parsell & Weed Hit and Miss engine kit at Cabin Fever 2020. Todd is currently working on finishing the horizontal prototype engine and hopes to have it running at the show. Here's a...

Hello Frazer, You're quite welcome. All the best, Todd.

Joy and I really enjoyed the boat pond. From a spectator standpoint, it is a nice place to rest and relax a bit. Maybe a smaller pond would fit the bill? See you at the show.

Paul Jacobs passed away December 2013. Todd & Joy Snouffer, aka Littlelocos Model Engineering purchased what remained after all of the better-known and larger engine projects were sold to a gentleman on the West Coast. To my knowledge, he is not actively selling casting kits or advertising...

Beautiful Job!

@aonemarine Nice Job! Very well done video with lots of info. Thanks!

Joy and I are driving up Thursday and will be set up in our usual spot. See you at the show!
