So much fun Bruce.

The set up is an engineering feat all by itself.

These Tarot Sterling Engines are great for driving accessories.

I am going to test it today with all of my workshops.

Hopefully, I will get some good footage.

I have to say that is one of the most impressive demonstrations of load capacity for a relatively small Stirling Cycle engine that I can recall ever seeing! Shouldn't be too surprising I suppose, given that back in the day Stirling engines were tasked with jobs on a fairly equal basis with smaller steam engines, and offered far greater convenience to boot!

Nice run Bruce!!!

I was looking for a hole cut in the table with a Jensen 20 down below sending a belt up for extra power. Very Impressive Bruce! You are the best at putting on a good show 👍

Thanks everybody, I Just kept adding accessories & it didn't seem to make any difference , I know with sterling engines they're kind of like a mule , when they hit they're limit they just shut down , not a lot of warning ...they just wont do it anymore. I might be able to dig up a few more things to see where its limit is ?

Since this Terot sterling beam engine seemed to have a little power , I thought I would see what it was capable of, turns out its quite capable of some real work ! its powering 8 accessories plus a double transmission , and if I had the room , it might do a little more.
