I was looking back through some older posts and realized I had not done a hot air family reunion yet.

Reminded me that I needed to do this.

In the meantime, here is the video of my K&M Hot Air Engines:

Hanging out with the right people Nick!

I will do a Hot Air video and family photo soon. 🤠

Thanks Nick.

It will run a little slower by diluting the meths (I use grain alcohol like you) and using minimal wicks.

I am continuing to tinker with it—which is a great excuse to run it some more. 🤠

Great piece Charlie and an Awesome video!  8)  You're getting really good at this  :)  and even better that you got to run it with some friends  :)

Will it run slower on less flame?

This one followed me home from Cabin Fever. A rare bird. I have run it a dozen times already, including at Cabin Fever.

The short video was filmed during our visit at Benny’s house.
