    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Heinrici

    For several decades, Louis Heinrici had built hot air engines in twelve sizes from 26 to 190 mm piston diameter and in the power range from 1.5 W to 0.2 kW. The larger machines used liquid cooling while, in the smaller ones, air cooling was sufficient. The running speed under load was between 120 and 200 revolutions per minute.
