His engines are interesting. He developed an 18hp aluminum steam
engine. It would be interesting to compare this to the Wrights cast
Iron petrol engine which because of its primitive state may very well
have had a lower power to weight ratio.


I believe the Wright's engine was also aluminum, not cast iron.
