Original Condition Jost Patent Radio Hot Air Fan. Circa 1910 Jost (Germany) Patent Radio Fan. This Fan Came to Us From a Collection Liquidation and is a First for Us. To Our Knowledge, This Example Appears Complete. The Burner has a Transition Chimney That Will Not Fit Under the Fan. This Transition Chimney Appears it has had Mica Winds Originally. The Transition Chimney is Also Fragile. The Wooden Base Has a Split That Would be an Easy Repair. The Piston Moves Freely so We Imagine the Fan Will Run With a Well Positioned Burner.

1914 German Hot Air Fan. Neat Hot Air powered fan from Germany (unmarked but was given information from a knowledgeable collector). The original finish appears to have been nickel and polished down in some spots to brass. There are some dents and dings but certainly to be expected with a fan of this vintage. I have not tested it operation but appears with a little cleaning would work perfectly. I’m an upstanding member of the Antique Fan Collectors Association since 1995.

This is an fascinating old world mechanical marvel- a fan driven by a sterling cycle or hot-air engine. The fan is powered by a kerosene burner. It seems to be all there. I made no attempt to clean this up. Even as a static display it makes an impressive display. In operation it seems like magic! You can find some similar fan videos on you tube. I do not know if it works or what it might require to restore. It moves very freely. I do not see any obvious mechanical problems. The burner must be a replacement because it is too small a fit in the base. The burner has old stress cracks and will leak unless it can be sealed somehow. It is old and dirty. There maybe some old solder repairs on the cage or it was made like that, I dont know. It has the’look’ if you like old mechanical devices. It is heavy and some what delicate for the weight involved. Take your time, ask questions and think. Any concerns please ask. I can take more pictures. I may sell international, but; contact me first so we can discuss costs and packing. Sorry, but two boxes. The item “Fan Kerosene Powered Sterling (hot air engine) driven (not Jost)” is in sale since Tuesday, December 4, 2018. This item is in the category “Collectibles\Kitchen & Home\Electric Fans”. The seller is “enginesludge” and is located in Fitchburg, Massachusetts. This item can be shipped to United States.

This is an amazing old world quality German made fan. The fan is driven by a sterling cycle or hot-air engine. The fan is powered by a kerosene burner. It seems to be all there. I made no attempt to clean this up. Some people want the old stuff to look old and others may restore to look like new. I left it dirty. I did add a little oil. Even as a static display it is an impressive display. In operation they are something of an engineering marvel. You can find some videos on you tube. I also noted some soldering on the brass cage. The cage is solid wire and is very heavy. I seems like hollow stock or lighter wire would make more sense. Either over engineered or a replacement. The whole fan is quite heavy. I do not know if it runs. I dont see anything obviously wrong or broken. It does look old. It is heavy and some what delicate for the weight involved. Take your time, ask questions and think. Any concerns please ask. I can give you more pics of any details. I may sell international, but; contact me first so we can discuss costs and packing.
