Poetry in Motion: The Fanning Hot Air Engine

- This hot air pumping engine spent most of its service life about 100 miles south where it was made in Chicago. The Fanning Manufacturing Co. began in the 1890s as the Fanning Cycle Co. and for a time made bicycles before branching out into automobiles and hot air engines. John Wickstom patented this unique and powerful engine in 1900, assigning his patent to Frank and John Fanning. The Fanning brothers' "Economy" hot air engines were made and sold for the next 3 years and very few have survived. The Fannings were thought to have sold their stock and trade to the Thomas & Smith Co. in Chicago which produced similar engines for the next 7 or 8 years.

I am a machinist and I love old engineering, this is fantastic, love the movement of its old parts and the sound it makes
Simply fantastic. Thanks a lot for restoring taping editing uploading and sharing.
Kinda looks like a grasshopper with its shoelaces tied together. Thats quite alot parts in motion. Very nice engine.
Wonderful piece of equipment. Thanks for sharing... Fred
If you had one right hand engine and one left hand engine, you would have a mechanical rowing machine! If you look at the side view of the engine while it is running, it looks like a arm that is rowing a boat. All one would have to do is attach a pair of oars. I think you may have the worlds first mechanical rowing motor! Seriously, what a great device for pumping water when no electricity was available.Got yourself a real treasure!
Thank you for the video!
OMG, absolutely poetry in motion. Beautiful & almost hypnotic in its movements. I wonder how modern machinery will fair in 100 years time!
I wish all engines were at least this quiet! The muffler sellers would hate this engine because it doesn’t need one!
Beautifull👏👏👏
Nice 👍
I like it, especially the kero-burner. Very Very Nice engine !!
Very valuable souvenir
Bellissimo marchingegno, ricorda un animale preistorico che corre. Grazie per il video.
Beautiful mechanism, it looks like a prehistoric animal that runs. Thanks for video.
Amazing. I suspect its short life may have been due to the competition buying it out, then shutting it down. Imagine the possible applications today, for those who are not greedy.
Don't think so, but they were overly complicated and didn't compete well with simpler engines on the market at the time.
Brent, you have a lot of fun toys.
Гениальный агрегат !!!!
Cool. :)
_Please_ tell me that this is stored under purified oil when not in use in order to prevent any further oxidation? I make no comments whatsoever on the applicability of such a device to create motive or electrical power. However, considering the yearit was crafted, that thing represents _BEAUTIFUL_ design and _OUTSTANDING_ craftsmanship. It should become a treasured artifact of history...
there are ways to revers the rusting.
@@theq4602 Unrust timing... just watched this on the subject of RUST REMOVAL. WOW. th-cam.com/video/FBXllfzk4GQ/w-d-xo.html
Nice piece of steampunk art
Looks like somebody rowing their canoe in a circle
Some day I'd like to see one of these actually pumping water from a well instead of just out of a bucket and back in.
Perhaps I should dig a well in the backyard.
riderericsson Just today I happened to see this. th-cam.com/video/-9-6259glPE/w-d-xo.html
Класс ) видео очень интересное
thanks for posting. the designers of this engine clearly did not understand that the forces involved, before energy has been concentrated at the crankshaft, are small. a lot of energy is being lost moving the massive linkage back and forth, up and down. reduction gearing was correctly used to take off power at the crankshaft. recent research has shown that these engines can be engineered to run pretty fast, allowing the use of, perhaps, 8 to 1 gearing. cheers
DD -- Do you have some links along this theme of modern re-engineering of these principals?
This is the most ridiculous comment I've read all day. Was going to write a rebuttal, but I think I can sum it up as "NO"
A magnificent engine!
I would like to make one, I drew several models but I can't get the right result. Do you think it would be possible to take me rough dimensions of the mechanism?
Thanks
Small models of this engine were sold as aluminum castings but I don't think they are available now. Some of the drawings were published in Live Steam magazine. Here's mine: th-cam.com/video/sqpT44lxCoo/w-d-xo.html
Alright, thanks I'll look into that.
Beautiful old engine.
You did an excellent job.
I am writing to you from Poland.
Can you still buy such an engine in the US?
Working or repairable?
How much does such a complete engine for repair cost?
I tried to find something like that in Europe but I couldn't.
Greetings.
Thank you for your comments. The Fanning engine is extremely rare but you can still find antique Rider-Ericsson hot air pumping engines here in the US, usually $4k and up depending on condition. Good luck in your search.

Thank you.
Any idea on how high it could lift water, or from how deep a well?
This is the same for all pumps, limited by atmospheric pressure, you know?
If you want a hundred feet lift, you might want to put the pump down IN the well, and push the water to the surface, I think this is how it's done now.
Any suction pumps limited to about 30 ft you need more suction than that in the water begins to boil from negative pressure, however if it has enough power he could do like the windmills did and with a shaft
Rawhide gear are still manufactured today. Ref: www.osborne-tech.com/rawhide-gears.html
Thank You for this ! :)
What would those be used for?
These were used for pumping water for homes or small businesses. These homes usually had tanks in the attic and so could have running water in the house.
pumping water for homes--usually water was pumped from a well or cistern into a tank.

How long will this engine run on a quart of kerosene?
I really don't know but would guess several hours if not all day.
Must have been petrified rawhide, c’mon. Seriously ?
Ha ha. Google: Chicago Rawhide Pinions or The Chicago Rawhide Mfg. Co. Seriously.
@@riderericsson got it, I know the C.R. name brand. Didn’t know they made gears. Thanks for correcting me.
Ну и почему не начать производство таких и более мощных аппаратов. Было бы очень кстати с современными ценами на топливо. Особенно в деревнях.
