Like I said I like to go and see if anything has changed. I see he's designed a few more engines. At one time he advertised in one of the US modeling magzines. A few people wrote in about him and I haven't seen any more adds. One of my concerns was what he suggests to use a boiler. Very dangerous. Bernd |

The newer designs are old technology with a proven track record. Swash Plate engines have powered naval torpedos for many years. The original Green engine aways felt more than a wee bit Rube Goldberg to me. Steve |

Cedge Maybe more like the Siemens Drive, rather than a swash plate. Not that I'm an authority ... :scratch: I remember a 4-cyl Axial Stirling Cycle engine in Model Engineer mag. made by David Urwick a long time ago. Maybe early '70's. Cannot remember whether it was a build series or just an article. Some reference to it here .. http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=829043 I have a small pic. of the engine on P47 of 'The Stirling Engine Manual' by James Rizzo. As it is obviously copyright material, I wont reproduce it. EDIT ... Found a bit more for anyone with access, ME published in Dec. 1980 : Jan. 1981. : Jun. 1982 Dave BC |
