A great demo and what a beautiful Baker fan 😍

Love seeing these engines run at this speed instead of unloaded and yes, the sound is great  8)

That little "Glass Works" is really working to capacity, just barely chugging along under that truly excessive load.

Perfect!!!

That is a credit to how smooth your Baker fan is, knowing those Solar engines have very little power.

That Glass Works engine does impressively well.

Thanks for sharing!

I imagine the glass works engine makes more power than the "thinking man's engine" version from PMR...the class of fit from piston to glass bore can be truly Very "close" tolerance.
   The video is lovely!
