  • New Orders On Hold

    Hi Folks, Were getting a bit backed up and want to get a few orders out the door prior to accepting any new orders.  At this point we're at the 90 day mark from order to shipping and we'd like to improve that. Give us about a month, by then we should have most of our present orders on track and be ready for new ones.  You can still place an order deposit to hold your place in our production queue - see item "Melvin Engine Package - Order Deposit". Appreciate your patience. Stay well, Tim Sefton

    We're holding off on new orders for the time being to get caught up with production.  You can still put in a pre-order, but keep in mind we're at about 90 days out at this point.   As soon as we build out some of these existing orders we'll open it back up to a normal order - delivery interval.   We do have the plans now available for those of you who are feeling motivated.  Love to see more engine building !

    • Heat to Juice

      Here we explain the mechanics of getting electricity out of the Melvin. Most of the time we're talking about the engine, how to make it more powerful, more efficient, but the other side of that is how does the power come out of the engine.  In this video we show you the simple rotary generator that's connected to the axle of the Melvin to produce electricity. The generator is in the kinematics housing so that the connection between the generator and the motor can all be pressurized - more on that later. Enjoy, Tim
