Postman called yesterday...... Looks like a pizza! :scratch: But it`s not..... It`s a low temp Stirling engine kit. :thumbup: I sat down this morning, and studied the instructions...... All 50 pictures! The packing is used as an assembly jig. Insert column, and assemble to disc..... Then invert...... Support on a handy mug...... 7off tiny nylon screws...... Looking good..... Assemble the displacer conrod & check clearance. All running free...... Attach the power piston, and place on heat source...... Yee..... Haarrr! Elapsed time, 45mins....... I think we`ll have a bit of trouble, using this mug! The engine`s run faultlessly whenever the pc`s been on today. :thumbup: Very pleased with it..... :D David D |

Hey Dave, nice one, looks great! Can I ask a few questions if you get time. 1. What is the material of the both power piston and displacement piston? It looks like the displacement piston is polystyrene and I guess at graphite for the power piston in a glass cylinder? 2. What is the gap between the displacer and the displacer cylinder? 3. What is the height of the displacement piston. Sorry, I`m dying to get my home made one working and it is of similar design!!! Chris |

Measuring through the glass, it`s 1/4" thick. Is that near enough? Good luck with yours! :thumbup: David D |
