Ran quite well in the second vid, David. Nice and smooth. The first vid kind of made me smile. Not laughing at you, but at the stirling engine that gave off an exhaust gas cloud! |

David, I don't know much about this type of Stirling engine, but could you rig up an external 'tin can' radiator to keep it well supplied with cooling water. It could be a semi sealed system, with only the tin can having an open top. The circulation should be automatic, by convection. I have shown the water level as being below the top plate, but if it didn't caused any internal engine leaks, it could be above. John |

Hi David, in watching your two videos, I've concluded I will have to end up duplicating that engine sometime in the not too distant future. As you, I like an engine that does something interesting and that one is among the more interesting I've seen and makes a fine "table engine", even a wife could find acceptable, maybe. I hope to see it running with coolant soon, and the system closed up properly as it was originally intended to. I expect you will get a bit more speed, and a bit more longer running that way, and it will be worth the extra work to set it all to right I expect. Very well done. :thumbup: mad jack |

Thanks for all your comments Chaps! :thumbup: Stripped it again, this afternoon. The only problem with a forum, your failures are public, as well as occasional triumphs. :doh: John, that is the way I intend to cool it. When/ if I get it sorted...... ::) David D |
| Bogstandard:
Forget the failures David. We can't have perfection all the time. It is the doing that counts. John |
