Is yours as noisy as this one? I can't imagine anyone accepting the noise and the smell of kerosine. I used to live in a very poor country and we used kerosine lamps during power outages, and I know kerosine lamps are smoke factories. They are 10% light, 90% smoke. They stain the walls if you put the lamp close to the walls.

@davidcannon1144

The noise is generated by not applying any/enough grease in all areas. And/or the wrong type. Quality kerosene has little smell though of course is still there. Hey, well done to the OP for saving another one though

honestly just looks like you dumped mud on it waited for it to dry and "oooh rusty"

steps to make restoration vids buy 2 of something destroy one and replace with the good one

Had NO Idea Such A Device Ever Existed!

I think that was in pretty good shape until somebody dipped it in mud to make it look older... And why not just wash the mud off?

Some of these renovation vids are a bit too slick for their own good and no lead testing I note .

So this is how our Great,Great,Great Grandparents kept cool on hot days, Intresting.

So basically a sterling heat engine with matching heat source. Kerosene was basically used almost exclusively everywhere before electricity was very commonplace. Made sense to use what was already on hand in as many ways as possible. They probably would have invented a kerosene based refrigerator if electricity hadn’t come along.

@johngoodin3445

2 ай бұрын

Hmmm since it’s based on a sterling heat engine you might be able to just get rid of the kerosene bit and just put it on top of your wood burning stove. Should work just as well so long as the heat source was high enough. Most sterling heat engine fans are much smaller than this one. Being designed to be used on top of something like a major heating source such as a stove to help recirculate heat in a room. That way you might be able to get a room better heated using far less fuel. Rather than all of the heat going straight up to the ceiling some of it is redirected into the room. That way the energy from the woodstove is used twice. Once to heat the room itself. Then some of that wasted heat energy is used to power the fan itself. It’s the same idea of putting your electric ceiling fan on reverse in the winter months. Folks just do a KZread search for sterling heat engine woodstove.

If you’re going through a full restoration then fix the screws, make sure you don’t rescratch the parts you just painted. You could have cleaned the dry oil off the piston, and straightened the bent parts. Other than that it was fine.

Poor excuse for a “restoration”. Some parts were still rusty, bent or poorly cleaned. Color choice was also bad. Sorry if I’m coming off as harsh but this looked like a first time attempt at a restoration.

Can’t buy 150, maybe 80-90. Countersunk screws and gasket material. Kerosene fans were available in the mid 1800’s but this is much too modern….Would surprise me not if that unit was made in India or Pakistan.

That is one clunker of a fan for someone to actually use but the reassembly was some of the most satisfying I've ever seen and heard

Doesn't look rusty. Looks like somebody buried it in the backyard to make it look "old". For anybody wondering, the fan is a copy/replica of the Ky Ko stirling engine fans of the 1920s. You could, and probably still can buy plans for making one yourself. That style of fan guard didn't really exist until the late 1960s, so the replica is fairly "new" or else was modified with a modern fan guard.

They didn’t have fans 150 years ago they made fans 140 years ago as a whole different decade apart and it looks like he just put mud on it and waited for it to dry and put fake rust and if he found that today Most likely be very little to no metal left Edit: I didn’t know they had fans in the 1800s
