Baker Fan demonstrations and information for Steam, Stirling or Hit & Miss Engines - Put a load on!

Since making these Baker Fans and running them off an assortment of engines I have been asked many times for build hints, dimensions and advice so hopefully I have covered it all and given some demonstrations with the video shorts of just how a Baker Fan gives you a whole other dimension when running your engines under this simple device that puts them under a working load.

A couple of pictures of the completed fan and a short video.



I hooked the fan to this engine as it was the easiest one to hook up of my engine models.
The drive pulley needs to be larger and the governor should be adjusted to get the full effect of the fan.

Thanks for looking
