Congrats Peter,

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?

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).

Well done Peter  :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

You deserve to have a big grin on your face for that.

It really bombs along.

Have fun

Stew
