Now how about making your Wilesco turbine go super slowly?...
Oddly enough I've never tried that
I'll bet the fish tank pump would work.
But turbines are right boring if there isn't a big cloud of steam in your face and a scream like a miniature siren in your ears
The T-90 is nice, The Jensen 95G is Elegant, The Empire B-35 is a gutless wonder (but it sure make for an interesting experience). _________________

That was slow, Mark! Hard to beat.
But what was the purpose of the thin thread on the driving pulley?
Wouldn't it be better off without that (small) load?

Now that's slow! Those small piston valve Wilescos are great performers.
I missed the opportunity to film a REALLY slow dual. A Jensen 55 running off my gutless fishy pump as it cools down. Now the water is gone from it, the oil has thickened, and it won't turn over on that whiff of air.
I'll just have to steam it again soon _________________
