Lenn, so glad to see you on here. I don't remember seeing either of those Youtubes, but I think if I'd have been that poor bullrider, I would have barfed my guts out by the twenty-second mark! :lol:
It is too bad these engines cannot do significant work, at least theoretically -- but they do entertainment pretty darned well. 8)

Thanks Bill, speaking of engines that don`t do anything this one has sparked my interest lately. :)

Lenn, it sure is easy to get mesmerized by these things. I have to be careful or it will be dinner time before I quit watching these tiny-engine Youtubes. :lol:

Thanks, i didn`t have any light coil wire so used standard electric wire with plastic coating which works but takes more current to run thus running on a 12 volt lawn mower battery.

Lenn, are you sure you weren't an engineer, and a member of Swiss Family Robinson in a former life? 8)

Lenn, it is wonderful. Reminds me of the chugging of the tin iron ore carriers in the pond, which I miss terribly!
