Looks amazing . A very good work.
Hello everybody,
I am a new here. I just registered.
This is my last production. A Stirling engine : [nomedia="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gB-OwTMzXhc&feature=player_embedded"]YouTube - Stirling type Alpha[/nomedia]
It has made his firsts revolutions for the first time two days ago. At this stade it runs at 1040 RPM max. It is a homemade design. But it is not finished. I designed it as a four cylinders engine. So if it has only two cylinders for the moment, it will have 4 cylinders soon and maybe 6, why not.
As a next step, I want to try to pressurize it, to increase the power.
Bye

Very nice work! Do you have plans to release the plans? I think this would be small enough to build on my tools. -Keith
Sorry the plans for this engine are not available. But I think it can interest you, two years ago, i have drawn a new vacuum engine and i put the plans on the net, (they are in french).
If you, or maybe someone else, are intersted by this engine, the video are there :

Bye,
thats beautiful
im currently designing an almost identical setup for my firsty.
strokes different, hot cylinder also etc... but yeah.
if anything, you have reassured me that it will work... maybe?
well see!
Fantastic Job!
Funnily enough I was just looking at some of Rudy Kouhoupt's engines when I saw this post! Very nice machining!
cheers,

It's a state of mind!
Hello,
Thanks for your congratulations.
I perfected my engine. It is now pressurised.

can you give me some infomations abuot this engine? ex operation factor structure factor ....
Super cool.
I believe though, that this engine coupled to a axial flux alternator and concentrated sun rays, can be more powerful then photovoltaic cells.
The way I would approach doing this would be to have the outside of the cylinder square and the sun rays concentrated on more than one side.
All mounted on a platform so it tracks the sun.
Also a small starter of some sort just to get it going.
I have too many projects, and not enough time.
