Hi Jim
It’s those “I never thought of that” and “I’ve never seen one of those” moments that draw me in all the time . . . Thinking of which have you ever seen a 130 mph steam hydroplane?

Super hispeed steam fellers really push the limits of the hobby..you never know exactly when the entire engine is going to melt out of the bottom of the boat. Regardless, the engines do have a purposeful beauty to them: (again - I didn't build any of these)

As for Stirlings, have you looked at the MORIYA (Dr James A Senfit)?

At least it has a purpose...

Thanks for the video Bob that is one fast boat, amazing! The fan is pretty cool Charles that video also led me into other videos where they actually have the Sterling engine doing some work.
