FILENAMES: fireeater.jpg DESCRIPTION: This is a picture of a "fire eater" model engine. Posted by Bruce Johnstone . The following description was provided: ================================================================= This is a so called "Fire Eater" engine designed by Philip Duclos. I got the plans for this engine in a book called Steam & Stirling Engines 2 published by Village Press. The engine runs pretty good once it warms up. To give you an idea of the size, the brass tank is made from a door knob and the flywheel is 3 3/8" dia.
