- Giving our Original Robinson Patent Hot Air Engine a run.
This engine was made in the late 1800s in England and is 100% original down to its coat of paint.
It is heated by a small gas ring. It is about 1/16th of a Horse Power.
Need a 10 hour edit of this little engine happily popping along.
You have some awesome engines Matt
Thanks for watching Adam
Nice video.
Thank you for watching
beautiful engine
Very nice engine! Please, what the power??? Thanks for sharing!!! 73 from BRASIL
Thank you for watching. It is about 1/16th of a horse power
@@salterbros.collection OK!!
Depends how much heat you put into it. That's a hefty stirling engine. I can't imagine it's particularly fuel efficient. Nice piece though. 😁👌
I wonder what it was used for, doesn't seem large enough to pump water.
A fan
They were used on small applications such as dentist drills, sewing machines and small water pumps.
To power tools or other things you can put a belt on the wheel
@@kingkong81icloud Correct, there is a pulley on the side of the flywheel
Wow! How does that work?
Thanks for watching Scott. It works on the Stirling principal which I have put on my website - have a look and let me know what you think! - salterbros.com.au/robinson/
@@salterbros.collection well, I had a look and that is so cool! What does,, and what work can it do?
@@scottcarlson9913 It is rated at about 1/16th of a horse power so the range of things that it can do is very limited. That being said they were an inside engine and could be used to power a dentist drill, run a sewing machine or a small water pump for a fountain. Later ones were hooked up to small pumps to pump gas to the gas street lamps.
@@salterbros.collection thanks folks,,,very interesting.

Thanks,. .[& ' alternative fuel is coal '].
Looks like it uses a lot of gas to make a little power,,stirling engine the same,,
It isn't too bad on gas. I would normally get 4 rallies out of a gas bottle, maybe more with the engine running for two days at each rally for 8-10 hours each day.
@@salterbros.collection thanks much reply,,dont normally get reply from source,,just other opinions,,cheers,,
