LTD Stirling endurance run

(1/2) > >>

DavesWimshurst:
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:

The fly wheels look like CD  :scratch:  are they ?.


Stirlings are one thing I've shyed away from probably due to the fact that I don't understand them  :scratch:.

Thanks for showing
