Very nice Doug.

Do you know the maker?

It’s hard to tell how big it is from the pictures.  How tall is it?

Have you gotten it running?

Video now posted.
Not sure if homebuilt or factory, but great quality
18" tall, 5" flywheels

Thanks Doug.

If you ever get tired of it let me know!

Are you considering building a more robust burner?

After some modification to the burner to get a slightly larger flame, it now runs a perfect 90rpm while pumping water. Takes 5-10 minutes to warm up initially,but I think I will use it as is. It,s one of the few hot air engines I have that works well outdoors in a little wind.
