Phil Duclos Hula Hula Engine

at 9:54 am. Filed under Insane Equipment

 

The Hula Hula engine starts quite slow and looks like it would vibrate tremendously however as it picks up speed it looks like everything balances out. First thing to do after running this engine would be to make sure you still have all of your fingers.

“This is a steam type engine running on compressed air.It self starts itself.This was named by the hula style action as it runs. This is a Phil Duclos design.”

    NOT for sale on ebay. What was on sale is the book with the instructions on how to build one.
    “This is just one of the 29 projects included in the book.”

    Ya know, it work off the same common crankshaft that most rotary airplane engines use.
    I even remember seeing a woodworking project to show the same motion.
    still cool though.
