njanvilman Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 My wife came in while I was watching this video. Gave me that look. You know the one: how can he sit there for 15 minutes watching old engines. I love this stuff: gears, flywheels, valves, brass, iron, connecting rods, and all the amazing technology that went into designing, building, and running these great machines. It is wonderful that there are so many engines still existing, and the people with the passion to tinker with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Charcoal to start it and then coal to run on with the auto feeder. Looked to be a slightly older steam engine style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Special Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 What was that last one? Saw a lot of cool cams and pistons and such, not to mention the autofeed, but not sure what it does. The washing machine was also a nice touch. hmmmm, slinging wet clothes around near a madly whirring flywheel and a giant loosely flopping leather belt. What could possibly go wrong? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Davies Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Looks like a stirling engine, maybe. Some kind of external combustion cycle, anyway, with air as the working fluid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anachronist58 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Mesmerizing. And yes, pretty sure that last one runs on hot air. Amazing, thanks Glenn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan P. Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Mesmerizing. Made me pucker a little when the fellow slipped the drive belt on connecting to the self-feeding engine. Bye-bye finger/s! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
