A very nice looking engine, with quite a bit of size to it as well...
I also will be looking forward to see it running.
Congratulations Doug
Cheers

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?

UPS is heading over to Doug's house. They dropped it there by mistake and they're coming back to
get it. You were supposed to get a box of doilies to protect your furniture.   So call FedEx and
have them ship it to me and I'll hide it for you. :D

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.
