A Dean Myers Rider-Ericsson Hot Air Engine

摘要

A friend of mine, Dr. John Dimmock, who collects all types of engines, bought a set of castings for a hot air engine and asked me whether I could build it for him. Having never built a hot air engine and having little knowledge of how they work, this was quite a departure from my usual interests of workshop equipment and model aircraft but, nevertheless, it seemed an interesting project.
