Hot air engine that runs off a cup of coffee

[bostondan]

Has anyone here build an engine that runs off a hot cup of coffee. If so can you tell me how to get a set of plans?

Jerry Howell sells plans for the Miser. Have built both the full size and half size and they will run off the heat from coffee cup . ......... gary

I built Jerry Howell's "Miser." His plans are good, and his "kit" of specialty parts is a convenient way to get the graphite for the piston and other things that might be a bit difficult to find.

When I first built it, if I held my mouth right and the moon was full, it would run on the heat from the palm of my hand. *THAT* was a highly satisfying experience. Since it's been sitting around a lot (years), it now needs a bit more heat to run than my hand can supply.
