Congrats Peter, :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: Your persistence paid off. :bang: My very first Stirling never ran. That was over 40 years ago, Maybe I should search for it and have another go at it! The video of the engine running and a big grin? Dave |

Sorry this has taken 3 months to do - finally got the hang of using my little digi-cam and how to get my PC to talk to it for videos. Thankyou Nick, Dave Stew, Eric, David D and Spin for such kind encouragement. Here is the first vid. of a run. I tried using a much larger heat sink on the tube with Propane torch. Ran for a bit but didn't seem to like it. Probably not enough heat in the displacer? Here is a slightly longer vid. using the original heat sink (sorry about the messy heat sink compound - it gets everywhere) - the engine runs and runs, provided the torch heat is kept up. (I was grinning at the time). Peter |
