Hi all :)

Welcome to my humble eclectic table of engines :)

First off may I share with you all a very very simple stirling engine -

Great to see you setting up a table here Jim .... glad you made it mate!

That first little Stirling is actually surprisingly capable for the small displacement that it has, and though it appears to be rather poorly, or at least cheaply made, it does the job pretty well and doesn't slow down all that much when you put the load on the genny. Pretty amazing for a scam booby prize ... as it were.

Flame-lickers definitely do tend to be very temperamental, but obviously you have that one running really well now, and it actually does look to be rather well made. It is truly too bad that you didn't get what you actually bought, but for a cost of nothing more than frustration and worry, this seems to be a pretty good bargain .... congratulations on that ..... many who get scammed don't come out nearly so well !

Thanks Daniel, I'm very pleasantly surprised with the flame licker and the little stirling is really surprising as well. Its so light, so basic but it works pretty darn good for what it is.

I like that stamp mill  8)

Has the engine got enough power to belt it up to your speed reducer?

Quite impressed by both engines here, particularly the stirling, as that really doesn´t induce much confidence at first glance.

Well done Jim!
