Does anyone have a photo of the Stan Bray Hero of Alexandria engine

as featured in his book making simple model steam engines please?

Thank you MikeT, yes that's a good resource, I will enjoy reading through that.

Stan Bray's version or any others anyone please?

Try a search for 'Aeolipile' – lots of images, not sure if Stan's is among them..

Send me a PM with your E mail address and I'll send a photo which has two of them, taken when I visited him a year ago..

Will not be detailed, but it shows a one with a vertical axis, and another with a horizontal one.

Thank you Diogenes11, yes that looks like a promissing search too (-:

Thanks Howard, I will send you a PM now.
