He can easly modify the parts to look more steam, his work is in brass already and a but of mahagoney and such will go very nicley, what he has is more steam punk then the art most steam punks create.

[Fleuver]

You would´nt be any chance have CAD drawings for this... I want one

[eatspaste]

There is nothing "punk" about this, and for that matter, there is nothing steam about it either, I really like the motor, you shouldn't ruin it with stupid words that don't even remotely apply though.

[Donkelo]

It's referring to the style of the engine, just google "Steampunk" and you will find lots of similar material.

[RTdeluxe]

@eatspaste that refers to the style of engine it is, clown ass.

[Soulrider2012]

@eatspaste Please do yourself a favor and Google the term "Steampunk". The term refers to a particular STYLE or look for things and not just Stirling Engines. The Steampunk look can be applied to almost anything. Anyway, please look up the term so you fully understand it. Hopefully it will keep you from making comments like this and sounding like a complete idiot.

[Nza420]

Barry should mandate the use of this song as the national anthem

[TheHermeticAlchemist]

What is that valve for? other than that, did you make this engine your self? either way great sterling engine, a piece of art.

[Reverseflush]

Would make a great paper weight for my desk.

Watch me put a piece of burning magnesium at 5600 degrees under that and you'll see how fast it can really go.

Uber little toy.

[ilikepoland2]

the right speed for me.

[ravelgrane]

genius

Beta stirling with a built-in pump. Power piston is on the bottom, displacer on top, cooling is done by water in a hopper on top of the displacer.

[douro20]

Ok, pardon me, but it doesn't have a pump on it. It seems that it has a free piston with an adjustable stop used to increase the air displacement, effectively limiting the engine's output.
