Wish List and Future Projects (Model Engines)
This page has the list of model engines I hope to build some day. It's also a nice gallery of engines that others built that have particularly impressed me.
Warning: Be careful with steam and other engines. Engines operate of energy and can generate significant forces. Steam explosions, bearing failures, and other maladies can be extremely hazardous!

Stirling engines are fascinating, and the require a higher degree of precision to run well than a steam engine. Initially, I want to build a few Stirling model engines. Much longer term, I'm curious whether it would be possible to generate meaningful solar powered electricity with one. A "Ray Gun" Model Stirling... |

Is it possible to collect enough solar energy to generate meaningful power with a Stirling? A worthwhile goal would be to reach the level of a few kilowatts like a little portable internal combustion generator would.

Machine Age "Streamliner" Engine |
I don't know what this will be yet, but I got the idea looking at this cool air compressor made in the 40's:
Love the swoop "streamliner" look... |
