The Hula Hula engine starts quite slow and looks like it would vibrate tremendously however as it picks up speed it looks like everything balances out. First thing to do after running this engine would be to make sure you still have all of your fingers.
“This is a steam type engine running on compressed air.It self starts itself.This was named by the hula style action as it runs. This is a Phil Duclos design.”

I would like to buy the instructional book on how to build one…hula hula engine.
Anyone have a site??

what a complete waste of time…this has no practical application, is extremely inefficient, and has so many failure modes would be extremely unreliable…
