New Stirling Engine from recycled parts
« on: March 20, 2020, 04:25:11 pm »
I wasn't expecting this for another week but it showed up today and I had to get to it.
 I found this on Ebay and the seller/builder had several styles but I liked this one and for $65.00,
 $98.58 to my door, I had to try it.
This was made from recycled parts by the builder, Alberto Salas in Spain, note the coins and
copper fittings and everything else. The fuel tank is held in place by a magnet.
Please look at the photo's and enjoy the video, thank's.

I wasn't a fan of these at first, but they are growing on me  8)  Before steam engines, I was a coin collector, so I always like when coins are used in engine builds. Charlie has one for sure, maybe more...
