OKMO Microcosm B01 H&M Engine running an Empire Water Pump via a DIY Homemade Geared Transmission
« on: October 19, 2025, 05:01:16 pm »
OKMO Microcosm B01 H&M Engine running an antique American made Empire Water Pump via a DIY Homemade Geared Transmission that works really well to be able to variably slow down or speed up a variety of accessories running of gas H&M engines or model or toy steam engines and even some more powerful Stirling engines and flame licker engines.

Not much of a load for the engine, but a very pleasant hook-up anyway!

Great video, the engine sounds like it has a bell in it.  Also, it seems your Empire Water pump is your go to accessory in your videos :-)

Thanks Richard, its a nice pump.
I always wanted an Empire transmission, that's what I modelled my horizontal transmission off and then also made a vertical one.

I always enjoy watching that Aussie built extra heavy duty transmission in operation.
