That day was chilly from a couple of weeks ago. I have a backlog of video to post. There is still snow on the ground but spring is here.

Interesting engine that looks like it had power to spare. Do you have any photos of the engine that you can post up CB?

You might consider adding about 5% water to your meths to calm that down a little. Also, don't fill your burner all the way to the top as it does heat and expand the fuel, so if you start out full, you will soon be a bit over-full. I generally fill that kind of burner full and let it set for a minute to soak up the fuel well, then turn it over and pour out whatever seems excess before lighting it off.

That sure is one heck of a powerhouse for a Stirling!
