Alan Butters' Miser

Alan Butters, from Australia, and his Miser inside a leather lined box.  Fantastic!

Here is a pic of my Miser Engine.  This is the first engine that I have built.

Jerry McKenzie's Miser

Allen,

Finished up my Miser engine and it runs great.  Attached a couple of pic's, as you will see I made a couple of changes to flywheel and support column since I do not have a rotary table for mill yet.  Think it looks OK anyway.

Ordered plans for a Beamer Engine, so that will keep me busy for awhile.

Cheers,

Jerry

Earth Day at IU East featuring Superfan & Misers

My son Mark Howell has been working on a 1.5x size Superfan project for the past year at the local university.  He was asked to participate in the "Earth Day" activities on campus a couple of weeks ago to demonstrate alternate forms of solar energy.  The idea is to power the fan by using a large magnifying glass, thus of transforming solar energy to mechanical energy (they did this outside - not in photos).  Also in the photos are Dad's original Superfan, Miser, and mini-Miser.

Here's a youtube video of the project:

Tom Bak's Miser

Hi Allen,

Attached are a few pictures of the Miser engine I built. Although I am a little inexperienced at machining, like any good hobbyist I made some changes to make it more difficult to build!
It is the first engine I have made and I am very pleased with the results. The plans were great, as was the service.


Best Regards,

Tom

Tom - Congrats on completing your first engine.  Looks good!
