It is one of the nicest gadgets that you can have on your desk. It is definitely a reason for conversation. Just by looking it, lets your imagination soar. The only downside is that you can't do any maintenance due to the fact that everything is glued with epoxy. Also the run time is not so great.With a bigger fuel tank this can be solved. When is lit and the hot side is glowing red, it's a sight to behold.

This engine is a very nice mechanical model. Looks great and runs great Description indicates fuel is alcohol, not so. Fuel is lighter grade butane. Runs with minimal vibration and quite fast. Does not appear to need lubrication, but some small amount of oil on pivot points was helpful. Repeat, small amount. One downside is assembly of motor is done with epoxy cement. This keeps the price done, but not too cool for the collector..

An amazing piece of machinery, ensure all lines are connected properly before fading up and igniting so take your time and do your pre checks. It does go for very long with gas cylinder provided as it takes a fair amount of heat to get it going but defiantly worth the effort.

Looks great and is a real talking point. Bit difficult to start but when going is fascinating to watch. love it.

received this two days ago and was impressed with the workmanship. It is a real conversation piece. First thing I noticed was it was shipped with butane in the tank, about 50% full. Dangerous for a shipped parcel. Next I found that the refill valve does not work on mine. I ended up having to take the hose out and hold the trigger valve open while refilling. This loosened the hose causing some problems. It ran first time but needed the burners set a little closer to the end s of the cylinders, Allen keys provided make this easy. Then on the third run there was a bit of a bang and the fuel tank flew across the room. The needle valve (the faulty one that prevented refill) had popped completely out of the end of the tank releasing all of the gas...dangerous! I need to find a replacement tank that is more reliable, it is quite tricky to start the engine. So looks good, quality let down by the faulty gas tank which is one they obviously buy an fit.
