Here's a picture of one of my latest innovations: a working hit-and-miss Lego engine. I took my single side valve engine design and modified the valve to use a cam, and made a special governor mechanism. When the engine speeds beyond a set RPM, the governor pulls away the intake cam and the engine coasts until the governor closes again. This pushes the cam back into place, allowing the cycle to repeat. I designed the valve so the 1x4 panel piece closes off the vacuum hose while allowing the cylinder to breathe freely.

Under no load, the engine fires about once every 5-6 rotations. Under a slight load, it can fire every rotation like a normal 2 stroke vacuum engine. Out of all the vacuum engines I've built in the past 5 years, this one sounds the best BY FAR.
