Office of Steam Forum for Model & Toy Steam Gas & Hot Air Engines

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!

 

Thank You,
Wayne
