2. Firstly drill the MDF parts ø2,5, ø4 + ø20 mm . For the vertical ø2,5 mm holes in the MDF sheet use a pil-lar drill .Also drill the fixing holes ca 10mm deep , spacing 85mm . Once all the holes have been drilled, the MDF and plywood parts can be sawn out and sounded smooth
Function description The following HOT AIR Motor works on the principal of an external heat source and heat flow. Principle: The air in the can is heated by the candles and expands. The membrane of the working piston moves upwards and pushes the working piston upwards out of the cylinder. This in turn pushes a connectng rod on the large flywheel which is moved to top dead centre. At the same time the small the small flywheel moves to bottom dead centre, and the warmed air is pushed to the top . Here it cools down and shrinks The membrane collapes and and brings the working piston with it. The displacement piston is in the meantime on the way up and drives the cooled air downwards.There it is rewarmed and the proccess starts all over again. To improve the working , the displacement piston is made partly from steel wool. This takes up a part of the energy and then gives it up the other direction.
1. The pattern shows two variations of the machine frame (1a) choose which one you want to make and trace it on to the MDF sheet. 1 Trace it so that the foot is against the edge of the board ,this way the frame will stand properly Mark out the holes and centre them with a bradawl. Make sure all the holes are marked in this way, Frame (1a). Take the pattern for the plywood (2) mark it out. Cut out the marked parts from the plywood (2) again make sure that the feet line up with the edge of the plywood, this is to ensure that the feet are straight and at right angles for standing

INSTRUCTIONS10. Cut from the plastic gloves (9) the small finger or the ring
finger (9a) . Place it over a finger . Add a drop of instant glue (2min) on the end (9a) and insert it centrally in the piston(8) gluing it in place Hold it in place until the glue sets ( about 2minutes.) and then remove your finger
11. Bend an "S" shape on both ends at both ends of the spring steel (10) connecting rod The shape of this "S" must be as exact as possible other-wise it will not fit in the flywheel.Trim it to shape with side cutters. Note : The length given is the length of the stroke! The connecting rod (10c) is made from the remainder of the spring steel (11) Remove any rough edges from the ends
12. Check the length of part (10a) that it is staright ( Use a Try square to che ck,glue it in the piston with instant glue. Be careful not to puncture the membrane (9a) which was cut from the glove at an earlier stage
13. The piston -conrod and menbrane are assembled as shown in the tube (7a) and the excess membrane (9) folded back over the tube .
14. Trace the pattern for the diaplacement cylinder ( see page 9) on the beer mat (11) ( The centre must be accurate to 0.5mm ). Make the middle hole 1mm dia with a hole maker. Cut the circles ø25 mm with a scapel or craft knife

16. Take the steel wool (12)pull it apart and evenly spread it out over the displacent cylinder. From the steel wool should be a maximum of ca. 11mm on the beer mat Use scissors to adjust None of the steel wool should protrude over the edge of mat , otherwise it will rub (18) on the side of the cylinder and effect the action of the engine.
INSTRUCTIONS
15. Axle part (10c) must be glued at right angles in the midd-le ( check with a try square) in the dispacement piston (Beer mat, 11)
17. Take the large gear (13) and drill a 10.00mm hole on each side of the centre boss. Drill slowly to the middle only the remove the rest with a sharp knife. The drilling pattern (Page 11) cut out and the middle point (ø 3mm) cross form cut . Insert the axle (20 mm) in the gear so that it protrudes out the side with the boss removed so that about ca. 5 mm stands proud.Place the pattern over the front and fix with sellotape. Drill the 3 x ø1mm holes. Remove the pattern Insert the axle (4a) lmaking sure that it is at right angles
18. Insert the end of the conrod (10a) in one of the holes around the centre of the gear (13) the next is (7mm. Pattern on page 11). By using another hole (8 + 9 mm) the speed ( revolutions per minute, rpm) can be altered at a later stage
19. Try the piston and membrane unit in the cylider base (1b) the conrod musn#t be turned

INSTRUCTIONS21. Cut a rubber band (14) and tie it with a knot around the
top of the tube. Do not overtighten so that the card tube will be crushed.
22. If the membrane is fitted properly fix the tube in the cylin-der base (7a) with an instant glue or all purpose glue. Be careful that none of the glue gets on to the membrane.
General : The fit between the lid (3) and the cardboard tube (18) has been especially chosen so that after assembly, and after taking it apart a few times it will not leak. Because so many are made it is possible that the lid fits so tightly that it is not possible to remove without damaging the tube 25. Press the second lid (3) in the card tube (18) and check it for tightness. If you can remove it easily you do not have to carry out the next stage. If the lid is tight try the following: Go round the lid with the point of a pair of scissors. Repeat this carefully 3 -4 times until the lid becomes loose. The bottom lid (3b) must not be done in this way , because once the lid has been damaged it cannot be repaired
23. From the other side add a washer (16) and then place the small gear (15) on the axle so that it turns without any play.
24. On the straight end of the conrod (11b) slide the piece of tubing(17) half way on Finally insert the connecting rod in one of the holes in the small gear

26. Insert the displacement cylinder in the tube from under-neath so that the shaft ptotrudes through the 1nm hole in the top (3a)
INSTRUCTIONS
27. Insert the 2nd lid (3b) in the non. stretched side of the tube(18)
28. Carefully assemble the top part of the lid (widenened end Press in place. Make sure that the steel wool does not rub on the walls of the tube or is trapped in any way.
30. Once you have taken it apart move the small flywheel to the top dead centre position. in this point the displacement cylinder should only lightly touch the screws. If the braking effect is too much,the motor will not start. In this case press the steel wool down a bit or remove a little making sure to do it evenly.
29. Let the connecting rod (10c) go loose The displacement piston is now at bottom dead centre. The connecting rod (10b) and the small flywheel (15) can be turned to Bottom dead centre At this point position the plastic tube (17) and join it to the part (10b) Raise the stroke (10c) of about (max. 2 mm) with pliers so that the piston is not at the bottom of the tube (3b) when at bottom dead centre of the stroke is reached Remove the top part carefully from the cardboard ( do not damage the displacement cylinder) NOTE When pulling the top lid out of the tube (18) do not use the fame as a lever Always lever from the edge of the tube.

31. Once the motor has been reassembled it time for the first trial run: The angle between the two pistons should be between 80-90 degrees see sketch b Turn the small gear to bottom dead centre and hold it in place. Now turn the large wheel also to the bottom dead cen-tre on the cycle. So that it can move when heated. Set the large flywheel and the small flywheel to 80-90 de-grees as shown (see diagram and sketch B page 11) The flywheels can be simply turned against each other in opposite directions to achieve this angle Trial run: Firstly check that all the parts work freely. Place and light the candles. Set the displacement centre with the small flywheel so that it is on top dead centre. After a heating time of ca. 20-30 Seconds give the large fly-wheel a turn. The direction of rotation depends on which the large flwheel is turned The motor does no have much power, so you have to ensuse that all the parts rotate with as little friction as possible
INSTRUCTIONS
If the motor will not run check the following points: - Is the displacent piston hitting against the bottom of the cylinder ? - Is the displacement piston hitting against the top of the cylinder ? - Is the displacement piston rubbing against the wall of cylinder - Is the shaft running freely in the brass bearing? if necessary add a drop of oil. - Is the "S" shape of the connecting rod rubbing on the frame ? - Is the working cylinder running properly in its cylinder (Card tube 7a)? - Ist the connecting rod the correct way around ( Is it catching in the hole of the large flywheel) ? - Is the connecting rod catching on the small flywheel ? - Does therod run freely through the hole in the lid ? - Is the membrane whithout any holes - Are the flywheels set up at ca. 80-90 degrees when the machine is started?
Important. Never leave the candle to burn unattended. When candles burning, the diplacement cylinder must not be at bottom dead centre when the engine is in the stopped position. The beer mat can burn in this position
