Based in Alameda, CA., engine builder Stanley V. Hiller made several models of aviation engines. (see Hiller-Kelsey-Binger and HKB).

-The engine he made in 1910 is of an unknown type. In 1911 he made a 2-stroke rotary radial with 6 cylinders that gave 30 hp.

-In 1912, he designed another six-cylinder radial rotary but with 60 hp. This engine was built by C.R. Kelsey of San Francisco.

-In 1913, a 90 hp engine has also remained as an unknown type.

-This company in Alameda, California made the rotary engines we show below.

The author of this edition of Aeroengines AtoZ, through Aeroteca, collaborated on Version 2 of this video, which is presented here.

To understand the operation of the connecting rods, the 1929 Continental R 670 single-cylinder engine was chosen.

A demonstration of Version 3, improved at the author's suggestion, is also available on YouTube at a later date. This version shows bronze valve guides, improved valve spring movement, and the split crankshaft counterweights and front bearing balls also move.

The design is from Juan Soler, Sant Cugat, Barcelona

Below we show a flash of version 3
