There was a trick someone mentioned last year on the other
livesteam list: add a pinch of baking soda to your alcohol. The
sodium burns with a visible yellow flame, but doesn't affect the
efficiency of the alcohol.

It is quite loud, but it's also thin and metallic sounding to my ear. I
always wonder if some loose nut is rattling around in the smokebox.
I wonder if anyone's done any experimentation what that engine to
improve the resonance of the exhaust?
