I am changing my review on this pump from "not real impressed" to "recommended" if your ok with the looks of it...I have seen them as low as $13 plus shipping.
  The reason for my change of heart is it Runs on steam or Sterling just fine bone stock just by leaving the DC motor out, it's surprising just how much less power is needed by removing the DC motor.
  This photo is my best "looking" china Stirling running it at a good looking speed, the water surges slightly but is continually flowing.
    This engine makes about half the power of the beam stirling, yet with the "powered side" belt  is running right on the metal flywheel shaft as a pulley so geared Very low(small diameter) I will give it A-/B+ for low cost and can be run without machine shop tools to modify.
