Nicely explained, from unboxing to demonstrating it running and then something on then working principle. I just noticed a pulley groove on the crank end of the flywheel; might be able to sling a wee belt around it to drive a dc motor, to light a bulb.
Thanks Anthony. It does go at a fair lick. It's amazing that air can expand and contract that quickly! You can adjust the speed a bit by adjusting the length of the wick, but it's not very precise.
Where do you get the little glass replacement capsules that cover the piston? Mine looks smaller but still I need to find one. Can someone tell me where to find them? Thanks
It’s steel on this one, but I have hot air engines that use a standard glass test tube. They have to be cut to length, but this is quite easily done with a diamond cutting blade on a Dremel. Wear gloves and safety glasses of course as they can shatter.
Just graphite in the form of pencil lead for the power piston, don’t put any oil on this. I used a drop of light oil on the displacer rod. Nothing else needs lubricant. Enjoy the model!

Very nice model it makes a change to see an item from China that runs true with no wobble on the flywheel

Excellent video 👏🏻
Thanks
Nice build of the engine. Very fast running engine once it gets going. :)

@@modellingmark thank you!
Is it ok to transport this in airports?
I can’t see why there would be a problem
So long as it is not running 😀
Maximum time bunt of that fuel last?
Sorry, but I never checked it. I'd guess around 10 - 15 minutes?
I've ordered one of these. What kind of lubricant would you recommend for moving parts? and would you avoid using any on the displacer piston?

@@mwakelin awesome thank you
I'm curious, what kind of alcohol are you using, Cognac or Whisky? Very nice little machine.
Isopropyl alcohol. I couldn't bring myself to use a single malt!!
@@modellingmark Lol. Quite understandable, but had to ask!! Cheers, aka Haggis :-))
@@modellingmark Good for you, it would be such a waste
how purchase strilling engine demonstrated in pakistan?

I wonder if i could focus a parabola disk on it, and make it run on solar..
I don’t see why that couldn’t work. Painting the cylinder cover black might help as well.
Nice one
Thanks Henrik
