Steam Technology and Pressure Valve's Table *** NEW EXHIBIT***
« on: February 28, 2020, 01:38:49 am »
First off two recent additions to my collection,



A twin stirling with a generator wnich was fairly cheap.



This flame eater has been on my bucket list for a while



A new and bigger burner makes it run better and longer. Most flme eaters suffer from running probs but this one runs really well.



And finally Jack's Auld Replica. See link below for more details.

Hope you enjoy our table and have a good look around at everyone elsess table as well.

A very nice selections of Engines Dave.

I am particularly fond of the Flame Licker.

I had not seen a David Auld Traction Engine. I still need to go back and read the Linked Thread.

Thank you for participating in GPU 2020. 🤠

The twin Stirling with generator is a good looking engine, inexpensive or not - and the flame gulpers are great......thanks for showing them.
Regards,
Larry

Thanks Guys.
The TE vid was taken a few years back, we will have to get another when time permits.

Any side pictures of the TE? So far it's a teaser video :)

The twin cylinder puts out good power. :)

yes the twin stirling has good power, it surprised me.

@Scorpion2nz is the goto guru on Auld, in fact on all NZ engines.

A side view of Jacks engine taken a few years ago so please forgive the poor quality

LTD Stirling running on ice. One of my favourite engines running one of my fa ourite ways.
It always makes me think of free energy, it will run on that one ice gelpack for 6 or 7 hours.



It is a little slow today as it is only 35C today, when the weather is hotter it runs faster.

Looks great running at the slower speed. I could always send you some of our "free snow" before it melts for the year  :D

Cool, I didn't think about running these low temp stirling on an ice pack. Thanks for the idea, and the video!
