Kyko Stirling Fan
The pictures of this interesting stirling engine powered fan utilising
a kerosene burner were sent to me by J.
Otis & Wilma Rowe who wrote:
> Dear Sir:
> I have a kerosene powered fan (KYKO the only markings) that
in 1960 was being used by a doctor in the jungle of French speaking
Cameroun. It had previously been used by an 82 yr. old British merchant
who had spent many years in the Cameroun. It is in good working order
and I brought it home with me to the US in 1979. It is an interesting
piece and takes up a prominent place in my living room. I have decided
to do research about it and am convinced from pictures and history
found that I do have an original KYKO fan. I am looking for someone who
could tell me more about it and give me an idea of what it is worth, or
how to find out what it is worth. With your permission I could email a
picture. Any help would be appreciated.

If you're able to help John with information or a value then please
contact him on the address within the article. Please let me know as
well and I'll update this page.
Aside from the request for help, it is great to see such a wonderful
example of the Stirling Engine principal in action in a solid
functional commercial product - even though it does seem weird to be
introducing heat into a room that you're trying to cool!
