will it run?

[headsmess]

well, i started drawing and getting grumpy...

now ive started hacking up bits of alloy and brass and...getting grumpy
anyways, just a sneak peak of the basic design for my first stirling.

think it will run?

obviously the pistons arent drawn yet... easier to make than draw...

[headsmess]

a day or two of making a mess and now i have...hmmm. two conrods, two pistons lapped into their sleeves, the heatsink cylinder.

a crank! a case annnnd a front/main bearing oh what a fit

i havent measured ANYTHING

this could work against me in the end but so far, so good

and honestly, havent cnc'd anything but the conrods so maybe im on the wrong site

oh well the cold head will need the mill



now... cold head and the whole hot side, and a few holes for studs... and maybe...just maybe...

(yeah yeah, rough. for now im happy to make a runner, not a work of art...)
