Bonjour,

Stoker, many thanks for this information, I just start discovering this type of engine.

Currently, the most impressive information I have found is that this kind of engine is used in modern submarines !

Also used in industry with pro's and con's I had not imagined it could be powerful enough to be profitable.

But there we are far from our models which seem to be able to run fast but with no torque...

Wayne, is there a cure for this disease  ;D ?

You may wish to visit this old thread that I put together, but never finished, several years ago, that details the fascinating history and lineage of your new Solar #1 Stirling Cycle Engine!

Moi?  I would never lead someone down the rabbit-hole
known as the hot-air engine hobby.  Certainement, pas moi!

Bonjour Jim,

Nice accessory indeed, especially because, to my opinion, the whistle is a mandatory accessory on a steam plant  :)

Have a good one Nick .... or heck, maybe even a couple of good ones!!!

Meanwhile, I'm wondering if Nick will ever look to be over 21 .... even after his kids get that old!?!?
