Seibel makes interesting small radial engines for giant model airplanes and UAVs.

-Their engines initially were intended for regular-sized flying scale models. Its use is also contemplated in pilotless observation aircraft. Or at least that's how it is mentioned.

-The Seidel ST14-500B, the ST-710, the ST7-250, the ST UMS 7-70, the ST-90 or the ST7-700 stand out, the latter in final development. The ST14-500B is beautiful.

-The initials ST refer to Seidel-Triebwerke. A 9-cylinder radial engine is under development.

-There is also a 7-cylinder, like the ST7-700 running on oil (gasoline) with a planned power of 40 CV (30 kW).

-Other engines use gasoline or methanol, depending on their specific design.

-The projects for this year 2009 are several but the Seidel product line goes back a long way, starting with the 5-cylinder models.

-The R 150 5-cylinder 8.5 CV. The R 225, 5 cylinders and 15 CV.

-The R 250 and 15 CV, with 5 cylinders. The numbers 150, 225 and 250 coincide with the displacement in cc.

-The R 400 continues with five cylinders and produces 23 CV.

-The ST 160B with 7 cylinders giving 10 CV, also known as ST-7-160.

-The ST-7-250B giving 14 CV.

-The 14-cylinder (two coupled 7-cylinders) is the ST 14-500 giving 22 CV. The ST 14-500B runs on gasoline.

-The 40 CV ST 7-700B is for this year 2009.

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
