Awesome engine.

[@BlueHeelersSteamEngines-Jim]

Thanks appreciated 👍👍

[@SteamDreamDE]

The engine is running nicely. The hammer can certainly be fixed! 👍

[@BlueHeelersSteamEngines-Jim]

As always,,,,thanks :)

A nice Stirling and a smooth runner. The clutch of the drop hammer can certainly be readjusted.

[@BlueHeelersSteamEngines-Jim]

Thanks Jürgen, someone has suggesting using some needle nose pliers on the rivet and squashing it a little to cause some more friction and I think that is the answer and will give it a go.

Nice to see you back Jim. That is a beautiful engine, and I love the drop hammer. I'm sure you'll be able to adjust the clutch mechanism. ATB Cheers Nobby

Thanks Nobby, as always much appreciated mate.

Very nice Jim, I reckon it might run a small generator? Give it a go.

[@BlueHeelersSteamEngines-Jim]

I shall have to have a go trying to run a genny Clinton

Nice video Jim! Could you make another video of either this engine or the Huxtable Stirling engine running? These hot air engines are fascinating. -Stephen

[@BlueHeelersSteamEngines-Jim]

Absolutely......will do 👍👍

[@Bardsbrothersrailroad]

@@BlueHeelersSteamEngines-Jim Thanks Jim! I was wondering, could you do a video on using one of your supaburners on your hot air engines? Just curious to see how that would perform vs a bix burner. -Stephen

[@BlueHeelersSteamEngines-Jim]

@@Bardsbrothersrailroad No worries Stephen 👍👍

[@rickburris6164]

Neat video. What do you think it will take to fix the drop hammer? Maybe tighten up the rivet on the the engagement handle? Mine came without the engagement handle so I just rigged it to run all the time.

[@BlueHeelersSteamEngines-Jim]

G'day Rick, yes I think a gentle squeeze of that rivet should make it stay in place and stop that slipping.
