perfect

My impression is that these engines have a congenital defect in its construction.

@Lechoslowianin They do seem to, don't they? Very high friction, poor heat transfer on the cooling side, no bearings, piston doesn't seal well without lots of oil, and so on. I think they still sell a version of this engine, though.

@approtechie Look at my conception. I am under construction. Please opinion.

What was the working temperature? How much load could it pull?

[approtechie]

@astrialkil I haven't been able to measure the temp yet, but I was just given the engine so maybe along the way I can do that. This engine has little power and can easily be stopped with a finger, barely useful for anything, and consumes an awful lot of power to do it. However, the phase angle can be changed and the displacer is visible - an old lab engine.

@approtechie thanks for the info!

Nice, You could see the heating coils get dimmer when the engine started to run, pulling the heat from one side to the other.

Very nice! Did you measure performance? I am very curious!
