Pizza?
Stilldrillin:
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

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,
Why didn`t you ask me last night? ::) .... Before I put it together! :lol:
1. Correct!
2. Dunno! .... I guess, around 1mm. per side.
3. Height? :scratch: ..... Measuring through the glass, it`s 1/4" thick.
Is that near enough?
Good luck with yours! :thumbup:
