Very impressed that a Stirling Cycle engine can pull that load so easily. Those two make a perfect pairing!

Neat. How about sails like a windmill so the load is infinately adjustable?

Hi all
Are these large Tarot Stirling engines still available from any reliable know companies?
I cant seem to see them for sale on the Bangood site anymore. I thought about buying one quite a while ago but never got around to it. Maybe all the stock has been sold?

Lovely steam accessory Jim, those Terot sterling engines are really well made and quite powerful for what they are.

I found the listing on bangood, it shows "out of stock" but restocking soon. I have been keeping and eye out as well.

  Really like how the Baker fan load keeps engines from racing!

I'm so happy how this works to put a load on any engine. The Tarot spins it up so easily.
