Hi Troops Few pics. of a Stirling Engine on the go. Designed ... :scratch: .. on the fly from the contents of the scrap bin. Elegance was not a primary objective ... And a couple of pics of a tube bender I belatedly decided to make after devising methods sundry and diverse of destroying perfectly useable copper tube .. :doh: Did have an experimental poke at heating the hot end, pulled the displacer back, and the power piston popped to BDC .. :thumbup: So, something's happening ... maybe .. We will see ... BC |

Well I think it looks fantastic. :headbang: If you ever decided to do up drawings (if you haven't already). I would give it a go as my next build! Eric |

That looks determined and purposeful Dave! Well done......... :clap: :clap: Looking forward to the runner vid. :thumbup: David D (The pretend one). |
| Rob.Wilson:
Looking Great Dave :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: Looks like you have had the hot cap warm :med: Rob |

Alas, Eric, can't do drawings ... :scratch: only c-o-c .. in the event the thing runs, I'll strip it, do some pics and give the major dimensions. I don't think other things really matter too much, depends what is available that's about right. Yes, Mr. SD I would like to see a vid. too .... probably more than you actually ... :lol: :lol: Didn't give it all that much heat, just looks like it. Nice colours anyway, might varnish it ... I was quite surprised how the power piston moved. The copper pipe is only perched in the banjo's, not soldered. No o-ring on the displacer shaft. The power cylinder head had no gasket and just 3 of the 6 capscrews in not tightened up. Might just be a runner ... eventually. Doesn't matter anyway, I hear there's a geezer at Chesterfield takes duds in ... :lol: :lol: Orphans, I think. Put it in a basket wrapped in a shawl. Leave it by the front door, ring the bell then swiftly leg it ... :lol: BC |
