KM made this for Bing in the 1890s. The displacer cylinder is tank cooled while the power cylinder is cooled with a heavy finned heat sink.

Might be a bit of an "Oddball", but without a doubt, it is a truly WONDERFUL machine!!!

That is a unusual hot air engine Brent, thanks for letting us all in for a peek of it in operation. ;D
