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 ...

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!

That looks determined and purposeful Dave!  Well done......... :clap: :clap:

Looking forward to the runner vid. :thumbup:

Looks like you have had the hot cap warm  :med:

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:
