older Stirling engine model
Posted: Wed Feb 20, 2008 9:42 pm
I have an older Stirling that belonged to my husband who passed away
some time back and I'm going to send this to my oldest grandson. It
is approx 4 X 7 3/4. The only markings are what is molded on the
underside of the base which says" Solar Engine, Phoenix AZ" I also
have a brochure which shows this model on the back page, but no
model number. It has two red flywheels and chassis mounted on a
green base. The brochure says it is the first in a series of six
different desk-top hot air engines, and runs at speeds in excess of
1000RPM. The accompanying information I have is two separate order
forms, both for Solar Engines. One with a McDowell road address, and
another on with a West Indian School Road address. What I'd like to
know is#-does it run ONLY on denatured alcohol? It seems to me that
he said that was the only alcohol to be used. Thanks to anyone who
can help#-it's 30 years old, at least!
