If you decide to build it, please post about your build. These little beauties are really show pieces. Have fun! Ted
Hi Ken, Not sure about the best amount of clearance at the end. It would be easy to test by shortening your test tube. There is quite a bit of...
The only time mine has had any soot whatsoever is if I have the flame too close. If the engine runs well, the flame doesn't need to be very close....

Looks awesome! Love it! Looks like the candle holder could double for a gear in one of your clocks! :) Great job! If you do build another, please...
Sorry then, I'm not much help because I'm not familiar with that setup. I guess unless someone is and can offer a suggestion you'll have to open...
