Beautiful runner. I like the machine very much.

Title: PM Research Plant run
Post by: komet163b on July 19, 2021, 04:10:53 pm

Good afternoon from Brooklyn...

  Well, I had a need for steam and wondered if the PM #1 engine
with the graphite-cord 'ring' still worked.  Ok on air so I tried
it with my 4-wick alcohol burner using Everclear.  Steamed it up
to 50lbs and the engine ran for a couple minutes before the steam
ran out.  Maybe it should have the bigger boiler.  I've added a
you tube link for the run...It was fun!
