This is a Model Engine running just off a naked flame, thought some might be interested in seeing it run.
They are most commonly called Flame Licker Engines or Flame Gulper Engines or Vacuum Engines.
Very interesting to muck around with and I’ve done a lot of modifications and work on this one –

an impressive little demonstrator, and the magnet in the burner looks a great idea.
