![]() 342 forum posts | My newly received ENGINEDIY VE 01 Vacuum Engine, always a pleasure to unbox an engine that has been packed so well for travel halfway around the world. Looking forward to taking a good look at this engine and getting it running in my next video.

10668 forum posts 2415 photos | Might look like product promotion, but I vote 'not guilty'. Blue Heeler has posted many other videos of this type covering umpteen other small engines, old, new, Western and Far Eastern. Taken as a whole, his posts don't look like a sales pitch to me. Just sharing an interest in what's out there. Pays to suspect everything though - the internet is wild and hairy! Dave |

![]() 25215 forum posts 3105 photos 1 articles | Its the way it works though Dave, The companies see people who have popular channels and then start sending items FOC in the hope a video gets made which is an indirect form of advertising. Just like companies sending items in to our Editors for a "Review" it just gets put down to their advertising budget There is also a hell of a lot of spam posting by these engine makers/suppliers at the moment affecting a lot of forums as social media groups |

I now say so on their channel and unsubscribe. If I want to watch adverts for something I will sit in front of a TV |

7517 forum posts 20 photos | It’s (currently) had 153 youtube views and 6 comments (only 13 hours, so perhaps check back at some later point). But I expect the suppliers will carry on getting his rave reviews of their products, however efficient, or inefficient these toys might be. This ix where engine efficiency is claimed as 100% - even if it can only just about drive itself.🙂🙂🙂 Ha ha ha. At least the usual complimentor has not added his plaudits - well, not as yet. |

Another illusion shattered: it's Father Christmas all over again. Dave |

![]() 323 forum posts 35 photos | Personally, I enjoy Blue Heeler's posts about the engines he's bought, assembled, modified, made accessories for etc.. I certainly don't see it as 'advertising', and don't think it's out-of-place on this forum (or any of the others he posts to). |
