Truly impressive how that engine keeps running after heat is taken away, yet responds quickly to the return of the flame to the heat cap.

I also have not seen any of these Tarot engines for sale in quite a while now but am certainly glad that I managed to score one back after watching one of your first videos showing yours in operation ..... they are undoubtably an excellent runner with surprising power!!!

They really are an awesome running engine Daniel and a 'looker' to boot!
I bet they make another run of them.

Jim:

I bought one after seeing your initial video.

One of the best modern engines in my stable.

What a nice engine and the burner looks to be Glenn’s design. An ingenious one at that.

This superburner was made by Trev.

Jeez I miss Steam Demon and Trev :(
