The
Rider-Ericsson is the only hot air engine that was actually
manufactured in production
quantities. This marvellous engine is fascinating to see run, with
all of its moving parts and a pump that
really works! It is a must
for all model hot air collections!
Our Hot Air Engine measures 4½"
x 5" x 6". The curved spokes of the
flywheel, the cast linkages, bedplate, water jacket, and
crankshaft bracket all
contribute to the air of authenticity.
The original Ericsson
engines were all water-cooled. We are
offering a water-cooled version complete
with pump to circulate water
through the engine. A free, 12-page leaflet containing interesting
information on the original Ericsson engine is included
with each model.
Each engine is tested at
the factory and comes complete, ready to
run, with an alcohol fuel burner, water
tank, extra wick, allen
keys and Owner's Manual.
