In this category you will find flame eaters or vacuum motor kits. Would you like to build a flame eater yourself according to the blueprint? Then build a material kit from Bengs Modellbau. The big advantage of our kits is that you get all the milled parts completely milled and only have to drill and deburr them. The turned parts are in their raw state, all screws, O-rings, wooden base plates and even the required fiberglass wick are included in the kit.
You can choose between 4 different sophisticated models. Our smallest flame eater "Nick" can also be made with a small lathe. The flame eater "Lutz", on the other hand, is a model for the advanced model builder.
The vacuum motor or flame licker 'The large Nick' mainly consists of brass. It possesses water-cooling with an evaporator container. The flywheels are made of cast iron. The large Nick is mounted onto a Jatoba wood plate. The crankshaft and the slide shaft have ball bearings. It runs at approx. 200-300 rpm. The burner is adjustable in height, so that the speed can be regulated over the handhweel. In addition, the distance from the flame to the cylinder head can be adjusted over a handwheel.
All milled parts have already been processed and must be partially drilled yet. All rotating parts are yet to be filmed in its raw state and need. The construction of the fire-eater and the burner necessary materials, screws, ball bearings and spring elements are included in the kit.
All necessary materials for the construction of fire-eater (screws and spring elements) are included in the kit.
The construction of the fire-eater, a medium sized lathe (minimum quantum D is x 250 400), a drill and a gas burner required for soldering larger parts and a torch for brazing small parts. Otherwise, are still hand tools, which should be in every "steam engine workshop" (Taps M2, M3, M4, M8x0, 75 cutting dies M3, M4, M8x0, 75 Reamer 3H7, 6H7, 10H7, files, drill bit) needed.

The Flame Eater Jarne has a crankshaft mounted on the cylinder. The force of the piston is transmitted via a beam to the crankshaft above. It has a wet cylinder sleeve and can be cooled with water. This flame eater was based on a flame eater by Armin de Vries, who offered a set of cast parts some time ago. The flywheels of this model have a diameter of 140 mm. The cylinder's cooling jacket is made of aluminum and has a diameter of 60 mm. The cylinder sleeve is already finished on the inside. It just needs to be edited on the outside. The piston material for this model is gray cast iron round material. Graphite is used for the slider in this flame eater model. Most of the parts used in the model flame eater are made of brass. An oak base plate is also included. To build the material kit for the flame eater "Jarne", a medium lathe is required. You will also need a small pillar drill and a torch for soft soldering. Furthermore, hand tools (tap M2, M3, M4, M8x0.75 / cutting die M2, M3, M4, M8x0.75, / reamers 3H7, 4H7, 6H7, / files, drill set) are also necessary.Dimensions Flame Eater “Jarne”: Length: 260mm Width: 120mm Height: 260mm Flywheel D.: 140mm Piston D.: 30mm Stroke: 58mm Included in the delivery are: Finished milled parts Raw material for the turned parts Graphite round material for the slider 140mm cast steel flywheels Wooden base plate made of oak All required screws, nuts, ball bearings and spring elements Construction plan flame eater drawings (8 sheets) and construction instructions (6 sheets) Further information with lots of pictures and explanatory texts about building this flame eater can be found in our model building magazine. This means you can find out about the construction in advance as well as find suggestions and support during the construction phase. Jarne construction report in Bengs Modellbau magazine
All materials, screws and accessories required to build the burner are included in the kit. All milled parts are prepared to such an extent that they only need to be deburred and possibly drilled. To build the burner, a small lathe and a small drill as well as a gas burner for soldering larger parts are required. Furthermore, hand tools are necessary, which should be in every “steam engine workshop”. This burner material kit is specifically designed for Stirling and Flame Eaters. The special thing about this Benner is that it can be adjusted in height. The height from base to wick can be adjusted from 38mm to 50mm.
In vacuum motors, the position of the burner plays a crucial role and the speed can be controlled with the flame position.Small burner dimensions Height overall: 42mm-55mm Length with handwheel: 41mm Width with base plate: 55mm Height wick: 37mm-50mm
The standing vacuum motor or flame eater Lutz is similar in dimensions to our very popular flame eater The Big Nick. The flame eater Lutz is also equipped with a cooling water pump and a cooler with a fan. The standing design and complex design make this model an impressive operational model.
The flame eater Lutz is mostly made of brass. The flywheels are made of gray cast iron and have already been pre-turned. Lutz is mounted on a Jatoba wood panel. The crankshaft and the eccentric roller have ball bearings. It runs at around 200-300 rpm. The distance between the flame and the cylinder head is adjusted using a handwheel, thus changing the speed.
All milled parts have already been machined and some still need to be drilled. All turned parts are still in their raw state and need to be turned. The materials, screws, ball bearings and spring elements required to build the flame eater and burner are included in the kit. Dimensions flame eater "Lutz" with base plate Length: 150mm Width: 160mm Height: 270mm Flywheel D.: 140mm Piston D.: 26mm Stroke: 46mm Included in delivery are: Finished milled parts Raw material for the turned parts Cast steel flywheel Milled wooden base plate All screws, nuts, ball bearings and spring elements required for construction and operation Construction plan flame eater drawings (12 sheets) and construction instructions (6 sheets) All materials required to build the flame eater "Lutz" (screws and spring elements) are included in the kit. To build the flame eater, you need a medium-sized lathe (min. quantum D 250 x 400), a column drill and a gas burner for soldering larger parts. Otherwise, hand tools, which should be in every “steam engine workshop”, are necessary (tap M2, M3, M4, M8x0.75 die M3, M4, M8x0.75 reamer 3H7, 6H7, 10H7, files, drill set, screw glue).

This burner material kit is specifically designed for large Stirling and Flame Eaters. The Benner can be adjusted in height. The height from the base to the wick can be adjusted from 70mm to 85mm. In addition, the burner can be cranked forward or back by 10mm. In vacuum motors, the position of the burner plays a crucial role and the speed can be controlled with the flame position.Dimensions Large burner 2-axis Total height: 85mm (70mm) Diameter tank: 30mm Length tank: 62mm Wick diameter: 8mm
The vacuum motor or flame eater 'Nick' is mostly made of brass. The flywheels are made of cast steel. 'Nick' is mounted on a varnished wooden panel. The crankshaft has ball bearings. It runs at around 200-400 rpm. The burner is height adjustable so that the speed can be regulated using the handwheel. The flame eater needs a few minutes to reach operating temperature. It can then be started with a gentle push on the flywheel. Once it is in operation, it runs for many minutes with a beautiful sound.
All milled parts have already been machined and some still need to be drilled. The materials, screws, ball bearings and spring elements required to build the flame eater and burner are included in the kit.
