Bengs Modelbau generator material kit
« on: April 08, 2021, 04:48:32 pm »
I do not own one of these yet. It does require machine work. The manufacturer claims even a small Stirling engine can spin it but not a lot of output. They say it will light one incandescent bulb or several LED lights. Uses the guts from a modern DC motor.
    I like the little lifting eyebolt and adjustable base. Oil cups are nice touch to.
  I will try to post a link...shipping likely expensive from Germany.
   If you follow the link you should see photo of both sides and also what it might look like if you paint it.

Hopefully this link will work. I have not found this on there website yet but have had good luck contacting them and they will remove VAT tax to product shipped to USA if you ask.

Does look quite complex.
If I had the storage space... And the money... I'd have a few more engines.

I may get to be the guinea pig on this generator kit. I contacted Bengs and told them if they could fit a generator kit into my Big Laura box without increasing the high shipping cost, I would try one....they agreed. Now we wait as they use DHL and my experience has been over 30 days shipping with DHL :-[

My recent DHL shipment from Germany took right around 2-1/2 months, don’t expect any updates as it’s traveling either...  :-\
