Here is quick try at slowing it down, note I made sure foot pads not catching any heat.

That is quite impressive actually.
How long could you keep it idling like that?
I've actually thought about raising the base so that the original burner sits quite a bit lower but haven't done anything to try that experiment as yet.
A little water in the denatured alcohol could also go some ways toward cooling the flame. -

Happened to be 70% alcohol I had handy. As to runtime I only ran a short test but was having no trouble holding rpm. With experimentation I am sure a pleasing rpm setup could be fashioned.

Very encouraging, thanks for initiating the experimentation.
I think many of us are likely to start heading down that path and hopefully some will post results and methods here as well. -

It seems ebay has it in for Jin.
I don't understand it myself because I have seen far worse feedback records for years.
There must be a small group of just a few very small but vocal people who complain loudly or something of that ilk.
Here is the e-mail I received from Jin:
Hi Gil,
I am very sorry to write to you, because our second store has encountered problems!
This shop has been in business for 17 years. But unfortunately, because we are limited by the EBAY platform. We were limited by the buyer's three medium comments and the bottom share (we could not resist the transportation damage, and we did the refund processing in time, but the buyer still gave us a bad comment!)
Now only before September 15 to improve the rating can only increase the store trading volume through this time (8.16-9.16)! What I'm thinking right now is that we offer a mini Stirling engine J06-E to have on the forums for sale. The lowest price is $29. (We don't make money except for processing costs and transportation costs EBAY transaction fees) as long as we can reach 50-100 transactions, we hope to recover the store.
I'd love to hear from you.
Regards,
Jin
It looks like a very fair deal to me.
We get a J06-E Stirling Cycle engine at cost in return for our good feedback.
Here is the link to Jin's offering:

I have ordered one already and will order another.

I do alot of business with PM research lately and have established some relationship with Jim McDonald who is their main point of contact with the company. He asked me recently about my Jin governors on my Hybrid plants that I built, and how they work, where to obtain them, and how much they cost. He mentioned that he gets a TON of questions about where to get them at.
So, I told him the information about Jin's eBay store and website and will now be referring customers to his eBay shop and website when he gets inquiries on fly ball governors. This should help with sales at least a little bit.
