Yesterday I unboxed my new Stirling Hot Air Engine.
Filled the alcohol lamp up and lit it.
It took about 2-3 minutes to start running and then it was going super fast....it was just a blur.
After about a minute of running, the glass globe that gets heated blew off the end and went across two rooms and hit the baseboard in a carpeted other room. After I extinguished the lamp, I went to pick-up the glass globe.....it had already melted/burned into the carpet about a half inch.
(time for new carpet in that room anyway)
