Hi Lars!

Sorry i didn't reply earlier. Just busy with school and my finals and other stuff.

Your engine runs very nice! I find it unbelievable how fast it runs, and so smooth!
I'd like to see more video-coverage of your engine, how you built it up, some photo's etcetera, maybe it's an idea to make some youtube video's? Like my video's about my stirling engine? Don't want to press you to do it, but it would be nice.

Your burner, how did you make that? Is it just a camping burner, a one-pit stove you can buy in a box for about 10 euro's teared apart?
It just seems so, with your propane-can and throttle knob. I like it, it's a nice speed controller.

Keep building! your engines are really nice!

Greets,

Krijn

Thank you!

The burner is a part from thishttp://www.biltema.no/no/Fritid/Friluft ... -kW-37656/.i have just modifyed it heavy,by that i have removed the upper side flame holes i filled them with steel,and i have added a hole in the lower front part of it, to warm up the tek element,so the water pump works!
now i get about 1500RPM one one sylinder"i have not rebuild the cylinder nr2"

i think about to make a diy video,like yours.mabee i have time tomorow!!

Again thanks for good words

Ah, that's just the burner it thougt it would be. They sell them in the netherlands also, and they're relatively cheap.
Good luck with the build!
