Carette Twin Hot Air Engine 694/22T
« on: January 27, 2020, 11:01:32 am »
This one followed me home from Cabin Fever. A rare bird. I have run it a dozen times already, including at Cabin Fever.

The short video was filmed during our visit at Benny’s house.

Great piece Charlie and an Awesome video!  8)  You're getting really good at this  :)  and even better that you got to run it with some friends  :)

Will it run slower on less flame?

Thanks Nick.

It will run a little slower by diluting the meths (I use grain alcohol like you) and using minimal wicks.

I am continuing to tinker with it—which is a great excuse to run it some more. 🤠

You've amassed quite an impressive collection of hot air engines to go with your steam toys  8)

I was looking back through some older posts and realized I had not done a hot air family reunion yet.

Reminded me that I needed to do this.

In the meantime, here is the video of my K&M Hot Air Engines:
