    Alcohol powered fan

    Yes I know its not firearms related but have not found much info. I inherited a weird fan when my grandfather passed; he said it was a alcohol powered fan......looks like old desk fan but with a fuel storage base and billows....will post pictures when I can.

    Stirling Engine?

    Watched the video, now I need one ! My Father in law used to make steam and gasoline engines, and built several tiny hot air engines and fans. Fun stuff

    I'm wondering if that is a Stirling engine in there? Some sort of hot-air engine, anyway. I want a set of plans...
