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

Was having some fun running my low buck stirling engine this weekend. The burner built right into the base offers a clean look but the only throttle is short wick vs long wick. Even with the wick trimmed at lowest level it would burn properly the engine still has strong RPM...just for fun I empty the base burner and used my Peanut Rider burner instead, by just letting the very edge of flame touch the displacer bulb I can achieve an Idle speed of approx 120 RPM a very relaxing pace.
