The Scrap Box was featured in Live Steam and subsequently published in Steam and Stirling Engines You Can Build, Book 2. We are considering re-drafting the engine based on Paul's original sketches and working up a set of castings which could be offered for those not wanting to work with...

Mystery solved: We received another package from the Jacobs family earlier this week. Paul Jacobs had started on a new prototype for the Breisch-designed, Robinson-style engine and stopped after partially machining the prototype castings. Included in the package is a drawing by Paul Breisch...

Oh, I checked and TurboCAD Deluxe is free for the first 30 days if you'd like a trial run. http://activate.imsisoft.com/gennedfreetrial.aspx?productpage=TCD_21

Hey Tin, Have you looked at TurboCAD lately? Their "Deluxe" version runs $129. Not free, but has no strings or expiring subscriptions attached. I use the Pro/Platinum version for all of my CAD work and have enjoyed working with it for probably 10+ years. The Deluxe version does 3D and...

Looks like a concept for a Stirling Engine. Keep us posted on progress. Todd.

Congratulations on a great runner. Can't wait to see it once you finish it up. My wife, Joy, says it sounds very cute. :-)

Joy and I just dropped off a few items for the Auction. Glancing across the area, it looks like and OUTSTANDING auction with a LOT of high quality stuff. Can't wait until Friday and actually have a good look at the offerings. We will be at the show starting early Friday for setup, then thru...

Clever design - a fixed cylinder radial with wobbler-style valves. The forks working on a common pin to run the valves is clever indeed. Thanks, Todd.

UPDATE - The Bentley parts & pieces sold this morning to a gentleman in Sweden. Thanks, Todd.

After much consternation, I have decided to part with my partially-completed 1/4-Scale Bentley BR2 parts. I purchased these about 4 years ago with the intent of finishing the project; however, it's currently way down there on my list of engines to complete. What's great about this lot of...

Congratulations!!!

Hello, Just a short note to let folks know that we have 6 sets of the Paul Lochmann Fountain Engine castings listed on eBay. These were offered by Paul Jacobs in the mid-late 1990's and are left-over stock. I have reworked the original drawings to make them more readable and accurate...

FYI. http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/toledoblade/obituary.aspx?pid=168255607 A huge loss to the hobby. Paul was pleased to know that his projects would be carried on by the few folks that they were transferred to. The larger projects went to the west coast. Joy and I feel very fortunate to...

I thought the same thing about the "B". These have Breisch written on them and on several labelmaker strips attached to the patterns so that it shows up on the castings. I sent an e-mail to Myers Engines earlier today and will check with the folks on Smokstak too. Thanks. Other engine...

Hello Paul, On this set, it looks like the red indicates surfaces to be machined. Todd.

Hello, Joy and I just returned from Toledo, OH having purchased a number of items from the estate of Paul Jacobs. (See Nov/Dec 2013 HSM ad, page 55) While the larger and better-known project engines were already sold, we were able to purchase the designs for 8 different engines, plus a mystery...
