little firing valve

[James Wittaker]

Can anyone tell me the structure of this little firing valve? I'm curious how it releases the gas, and a sketch of the structure would be nice.

Those are four poppet valves surrounding a cam-as the cam is rotated (by a servo) each valve is depressed one at a time to release the gas-click here: https://engineerscommunity.com/t/bal...principle/6098

Bingo! Thanks, Bob.

Here's another version of that type valve:



And a better look at those little firing-valves.

Any close ups of the servo operated ratchet that turns the cam?
