Having some fun seeing if my Tarot Stirling engine was able to run the Wilesco steam hammer :)

Howdy Jim

I'm thinkin' that Tarot Stirling Cycle engine will run just about anything the more common commercial small and medium sized steam engines, that we are all familiar with, are able to run.

Put a bit more flame under that Tarot's heat cap and it will do even better, I'm sure!

You were getting almost musical with that steam hammer rhythm there at one point during the video!!!    ;c)

Thanks Daniel, its a very nice engine to take down of a shelf mate and enjoy running.

Indeed, it is a very fine engine for having a run at most anything, any time!

Always a treat watching what you come up with mate!

Looking forward to anything you care to share here!!!

Well done Jim.

Thank you for posting the video.
