Horizontal tin can engine.......running?

Post by Administrator »

In the final phases of this engine. Thought you guys would like a peek before it is done.

Initial runs show some more work to be done. 3 or 4 cycles and it stops. Not from friction, but lack of power.

Thanks for all the email on this engine.


I've made some improvements.

I messed up a bit!

Almost blew it up! (don't do this at home.....it's stupid!)

And yet I'm still alive! :razz:

Check it out!!

It sure was fun to watch running. Reminded me of my first attempt at a Stirling and the excitement! What a rush.........then the explosion! (and more excitement!) :shock:
