wood stove and hot air

[smokebox]

Hello Everyone;


Has anyone thought of a hot air engine that can be hooked ( either a belt or shaft) to a fanblade to move hot air around the shop?
Which would be the best way to go for a build of this type?

Rob Wright ???

This may give you an idea. www.myersengines.com he has one that sits on top of a stove.

HIYA,


That is exactly what I was thinking of, much prettier than I thought of but dead on none the less!!

With some slight mods these could do that job for you they will move air nicely.

HIYA,
I'm deployed at the moment so I can't call them. Any idea what the price range is?
The first set of castings are a bit pricey..
