inventor of this engine

Good evening, here I finally found the name of the inventor in these two links http://www.blooo.fr/vapeur/ma_machine/v ... aiwald.htm

http://www.quirao.com/fr/d/henry-wood.htm

this engine has been around for a long time before the Stirling, Ericsson and Manson engine, well we know a little more

this is a good basis for further research

I wish you very good research : Mrgreen:

Read the armada of versions and works from 1699, because the steam engine was not born without much effort and testing, with very low yields:

History

The expansive property of heated air was known to the ancients. Hero of Alexandria's Pneumatica describes devices that might be used to automatically open temple doors when a fire was lit on a sacrificial altar. Devices called hot air engines, or simply air engines, have been recorded from as early as 1699, [citation needed] around the time when the laws of gasses were first set out, and early patents include those of Henry Wood, Vicar of High Ercall near Coalbrookdale Shropshire (English patent 739 of 1759) and Thomas Mead, an engineer from Sculcoats Yorkshire (English patent 979 of 1791), [3] the latter in particular containing the essential elements of a displacer type engine (Mead termed it the transferrer) . It is unlikely that either of these patents resulted in an actual engine and the earliest workable example was probably the open cycle furnace gas engine of the English inventor Sir George Cayley c. 1807 [4] [5]

It is likely that Robert Stirling's air engine of 1818, which incorporated his innovative Economiser (patented in 1816) was the first air engine put to practical work. [6] The economiser, now known as the regenerator, stored heat from the hot portion of the engine as the air passed to the cold side, and released heat to the cooled air as it returned to the hot side. This innovation improved the efficiency of Stirling's engine and should be present in any air engine that is properly called a Stirling engine.

Good evening, we can, if we want to get more power, make hot air engines with several cylinders like here http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=Nyl ... =endscreen
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3yjXSUP ... re=related
linear or V
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cf0GtTt6 ... re=related
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21xyKBRO ... re=related

this is valid for Stirling, Ericsson and Manson engines, moreover I think we can change the title of the subject, genre
"Henry Wood 's flame swallowing motor"
