ABOUT
History of the unconventional differential engine.
Before James Atkinson developed his unorthodox "cycle" engine, he developed this totally unconventional "differential" engine in an attempt to circumvent Nicolaus Otto's patents on the four-stroke engine, and to allow Atkinson to compete with Otto head on in the new gas engine market.
Here, you get detailed plans based on Atkinson's original patent that will allow you to create a working version of this most unusual engine. Numerous prototypes were built in the process of developing this book. The secrets learned will allow you to sidestep potential bottlenecks and learn the hidden details Atkinson chose not to reveal in his patent.
Illustrated throughout with monochrome images and diagrams.
