Introduction
With these vertical hot air machines I wish to demonstrate the possibility of setting a heavy mass in motion by means of a difference in temperature, using very little energy (heat).
At the same time I think it's very important to demonstrate the different drive techniques of our hot air engine builders over the last 200 years.
The intention is to regard all these machines as Steam punk kinetic art objects.
I achieved this by centralizing the movement of the hot air engine and by unifying the design technically and artistically.
Last but not least, one of my objectives is to bring the love for technique to the attention of the youngsters.
Passion...........or will it become an obsession ?
