Have you ever wondered what happens inside an engine?

Well, with the Tân Glas model engine you can now see. A fully functioning four stroke internal combustion engine with poppet valves and a spark plug.

Control the fuel mixture, engine timing, and speed to really see the fire that powers millions of vehicles everyday.

Warning !

Glass is not the perfect material to create an engine cylinder from therefore I recommend only running the engine for runs of 30 seconds to a maximum of 1 minute before turning the engine off and letting the glass cool down. Once the glass is cold again the engine can be started up again for another run.

Also this is a working combustion engine and as such consists of hot metal and glass components moving at speed! Please keep your fingers away from the engine while it is running, otherwise serious injury can occur!

If anything on the engine does break just send the engine back to me and I will fix it free of charge !
