Brilliant, especially the starter! I was just thinking 'the only thing is it hasn't got a throttle' then...

Its obviously well made but I also love the design aesthetics of it. I’m sure I’ve seen a V4 Vacuum engine as well somewhere.

Why stop at 4cyls when 12 will do, though not as nice looking.

Yes, as the flame/hot air cools inside the engine it creates the vacuum which is the power stroke, flywheel momentum carries the piston up for the return stroke sucking in more flame/hot air as it goes.
