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.

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.
