Hello everyone,

What a lovely engine Trevor, and it does a (can´t help myself, when pun´s available  ;) ) "stirling" job, keeping that fountain going here.

How´s the waterpump engaged with the flywheel? See the wiggling motion on the pumprod, and assume the connecting steelpin just sits in a slightly oversized hole in the flywheel?

Thanks for that Jan, the pump connects to a steel ball with a shaft in it
and is known as a wobbler pump.

Very nice engine there Trevor.

Didn´t even know of the Sandhurst engine from Stuart...

Wonder why, and more particularly why i don´t have one here already  8)

Just filmed this morning my Wilesco D32 running a Pericaud Workshop  made in
France in the 1930s.

OMG Trevor .... what amazing engines you are showing here.

Love the vertical Stirling Cycle engine that appears to be based on the Rider patents. I'm especially taken with the angled crank pin operating the pump. Seems a simple and obvious mechanical solution, but I've never seen the like of it before now. Very nice ... as is the cascade accessory that it is supplying with water.

That Stuart Sandhurst is one lovely beast of an engine, of which I've never seen nor heard of before now.

Two extraordinary engines that are completely new to me .... thanks so much for introducing me to these wonders!

Then while I was typing the above, you go and add a new video with the always amazing Wilesco D32 and a beyond wonderful Pericaud Workshop that is just beautiful. I especially like the tools that are wearing crowned flat belt pulleys, that also have a V-groove in the center for use with round section belts .... NICE!!!

A lovely workshop filled with relatively rare tools, and that big D32 certainly doesn´t loose much breath hauling them.

Great show !  :)

The Hendrick driving the Fountain is divine Trevor. 🤠

And the D32 driving the workshop isn’t bad either.

A great Table.

I enjoyed my visit.
