Office of Steam Forum for Model & Toy Steam Gas & Hot Air Engines

Hi David, I just read over your thread madmodder.net/index.php/topic,9661.0.html
and the performance increases achieved are quite impressive. It looks a lot better, too!


I am wondering what oil you use on this and some small Stirling Cycle engines where you might not use graphite. I have found on some of my least powerful engines, a 50/50 mix of naphtha and synthetic clock oil helps by thinning the oil to where it is less of a drag on friction bearing surfaces.


Very well done...!!!
