A UNIQUE AND RARE MODEL OF RUDOLF DIESEL'S FAMOUS THIRD TEST DIESEL ENGINE
USED IN THE SUCCESSFUL 1897 ACCEPTANCE TEST
The model is un finished, includes a small collection of machined parts and spare parts
In 1885, Diesel set up his first shop in Paris to begin development of a compression ignition engine. The process would last 13 years. In the 1890s, he received a number of patents for his invention of an efficient, slow burning, compression ignition, internal combustion engine. At MAN in Augsburg, prototype testing began with a 150 mm bore/400 mm stroke design on August 10, 1893. While the first engine test was unsuccessful, a series of improvements and subsequent tests led to a successful test on February 17, 1897 when Diesel demonstrated an efficiency of 26.2% with the engine, The full size engine of this design proved a significant improvement on the steam engines of the time which could only achieve an efficiency of 10 per cent.
Please refer to 'Early History of the Diesel Engine' Rudolf Diesel's Invention. Dieselnet.com (Rudolf Diesel 1858-1913).

This model is unfinished due to the builder passing away prior to completion of the model.

A VERY RARE AND ORIGINAL FULL-SIZE FLOOR STANDING HEINRICI OF GERMANY VERTICAL HOT AIR ENGINE
CIRCA 1910
With twin 9 1/2 inch diameter spoked flywheels. The piston approximately 2 inch bore by 2 inch stroke with connecting rod with lubricators, side drive wheels with belt to electric dynamo. Being of open crank design with brass oiler cups. The engine flanked by cylindrical copper storage vessel with large sight glass to side. The engine is mounted on its original tapered boxed floor stand incorporating a Crocker-Wheeler Electric Co., Ampere. N.J. USA 1/2hp.
61cm long, 30cm wide, 78cm high
Patented the 5th of May 1891 No 6282. Speed 1800AMP AMP 1.2. Volts 60. Makers and Detail plaques cast in brass on original mounts.
Heinrici's were one of the most successful hot air engine manufacturers between 1879 and the 1920s. Engines of largely similar design were produced in a range of sizes, mostly standing on tapered boxed stands.
It is our opinion that this is the most original example ever to come under the hammer with its original dynamo still present.
A similar example can be seen in the late Sir William McAlpine's private collection at Fawley Hill Museum, Oxfordshire.
