Trevor's table
« on: March 02, 2024, 09:29:22 am »
Thought i'd show this hot air engine, it's a copy of a Wiggars HH-88-370 could be by Willy Kunzel
in Germany if anyone could confirm this it would be great.
It's 37cm long 12cm wide and the flywheel is 13cm diameter and has a very heavy cast iron base
running a Wilesco ferris wheel.

Whatever model or builder, that major Stirling Cycle engine is getting up into the realm where they can produce real power!

Impressive machine to be sure!!!

Nice engine Trevor, I have a couple hot air engines but a lot smaller. I like that sound
yours puts out, like an engine should. I see a SEL in the background, 1530? You have shot
a video of that too. Good table and a good video.
