THIS THING IS BEYOND COOL.

(1) - Where do you get your glass cylinders from, please?

(2) - The key to success with such a small displacement...displacer is the correspondingly very short displacement (by virtue of the short stroke) of the power cylinder. Or are there other principles I've missed?

@glathoppa Hi, the glass tube is cut from a solium vapour street lamp tube, I used to have a pal who worked for the local corperation :) :)

As for the stroke etc of the power piston it was a matter of gut feeling mixed with trial and error,

Thanks for the interest, Cyril

Sweet machine!

Very nicely made machine, a work of art.

I'm trying to make a miniature stirling at the moment, could you recommend anywhere to get shafts? I have about 100 3mm I.D bearings but can't seem to find shafts anywhere, its very annoying
