I Love Old German Hot Air Engines! 🤠
« on: December 29, 2021, 04:18:06 pm »
Today, I ran three of my Ernst Plank Hot Air Engines.  The two Noris I have had for some time.  The one in the back came in the mail today.

I also reorganized some of my displayed engines to put most of the German Hot Air Engines on one shelf. A few more are  displayed in my office.

I shot some footage of the three EP Hot Air Engines running and of the reorganized display of my Hot Air Engines.

Really nice display Charlie.

Charlie, Very nice collection of hot air engines. I just hope that you have enough ventilation in your workshop to run three simultaneously  ;D

Running them on Grain Alcohol for fuel cuts down the fumes dramatically.
