Ian Jimmerson explains how a Radial Engine uses a Cam Ring Plate with "lobes" on it, to move the "lifter rollers" that are attached to the bottoms of the push rods, which then go up and down, to open and close the intake and exhaust valves at the tops of each cylinder (as opposed to a Car engine which uses a Camshaft with lobes) http://fireaviation.com/2016/01/23/carpenter-builds-wood-model-of-9-cylinder-radial-engine/ Part 1 - 10 min - Part 2 -9 min video

HOW A RADIAL ENGINE WORKS Carpenter Ian Jimmerson has built a huge working model of a 9 cylinder Radial Engine, out of wood with clear plastic tubes on the cylinders, so you can see them go up and down, and carefully explains how all of the parts work together, and he turn the crankshaft slowly by hand so you can see everything moving. This guy should be ( maybe he already is) a teacher. Here is the video link http://fireaviation.com/2016/01/23/carpenter-builds-wood-model-of-9-cylinder-radial-engine/ Part 1 - 10 min video and Part 2 - 9 min video. Now I know how the Radial Engine works!!
