	Quiet minds cannot be perplexed or frightened but go on in fortune or misfortune at their own private pace, like a clock during a thunderstorm. I hope that I never become famous and someone trawls my contributions on this site looking for the odd post which may be offensive. Force them to pluralise words by putting apostrophes in, then everyone will mock them as imbeciles!

I built one out of tinplate and copper brake pipe as a kid. I just made a coil of couple of turns maybe 25mm dia or smaller, to sit over a meths burner. Worked a treat.
Has anyone ever driven a full size boat with a pop pop motor? Maybe it relies on a small dia tube, so a few motors might be needed?
