I haven't done one of these for a while, and by Crikey - it was a lot more work than I had anticipated. I have a few more engines to look at, but don't hold your breath. The flame-eater engine is a concept that had a brief moment in the light, but was then cast into the shade by more powerful steam

Sometimes, a big number means that we're all fine. No charge - it's short and probably not what you signed up for. I look forward to talking to you this weekend (see other posts). I handle the matter of big scary numbers (YouTube)

Some patrons reported that the latest video had a sound-synch problem. Here, then, is a corrected version, which is of course free to you. I know that a bad workman blames his tools, but DaVinci Resolve insisted that the last version was in synch, and is very insistent - using a big red alert box -

The Joy of Free* Energy! https://youtu.be/GGue3ZCIOgc *N.B. not actually free It's been ages since I did one on motors. There will be more. Science! Comes complete with custom jingle - all instruments played by the editor.

My finger is on the pulse! I answer the questions that scorch the lips of the youth of today! Why isn't there a tidal tsunami every day at Gibraltar? (YouTube)

March's video! Uploaded in March (USA)! More science and technology, and a working model of an engine, and a trip to a museum, and talk of complications. Stirling engines - an old idea that's leading the way (YouTube)

This could be the start of something medium-sized, or it could be idle pondering. Why knows? One of my longer sponsor messages, but the ridiculousness just kept on coming. Amazingly, the sponsor loved it! When and why do men run away in battle? A proposed scientific experiment. (YouTube)

I think you'll like this one, even though the speed of my talking threatens to put my voice above the range of human hearing at times. I calm down a bit in the post-production voice-overs. Lots of technology, history, as well as science. The ship that revolutionised naval warfare (YouTube)

At last! I shot this in early January, and have finally got it cleared past the lawyers of the sponsor. I think that they were expecting me to say nothing more than "Gosh! I never knew that!" My DNA test results (YouTube)

The first version I put up had an annoying sound glitch. I could tell you how it happened, but it would be a long and detailed story. Summary: several very improbably things had to coincide. Anyway, for you, my dear patrons, here is a link not to the glitched version as seen by the many thousands of

Bit of a departure in terms of subject matter, but I love a simple machine that shows its workings. Stirling Engines - the power of the future? (YouTube)
