So did I. 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.

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.

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 ..

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
