PM Research Model 1 Stirling engine
« on: March 09, 2020, 11:23:19 pm »
This came from Ebay with the instructions and the Stirling Cycle Engines book by Ross.
There was something else in the box, a plastic bag with an allen wrench for the set screws,
an extra piece of wick, and a glass vile full of a clear liquid. It was shipped like this. I smelled it
and it's not denatured alcohol. Touched it and it's not oil. I'm not sure what it is but tomorrow
it goes out side to see if it burns.

It starts right up with a 20 second warm up. Has a bit of vibration in it, at the end of the video, I let go of it and it danced out of the picture.
