I built this Stirling engine for a friend. It's to J. Senft's design with some changes to use available materials. The power cylinder is a modified "Airpot" a commercially made dashpot using a glass cylinder and graphite piston. My friend placed it under a glass dome with a small electric heating pad set at a very low setting, it also will run on the heat of one's hands. It has been running continuously 24-7 for the last four years. I made another engine that gets much use as a demo: Another view for you flywheel fans: And my first one that keeps my TV company: Dave |
