Yes, of course because it is the temperature difference that makes the Stirling run. But heating the uoside is more difficult than heating the bottom. So normally the bottom is heated and (if wanted) the upside is cooled, for instance with an ice cube.
@HEETGAS thanks for the reply, So as i understand this, the volume difference between the displacer cylinder and the power cylinder defines the power of the engine, and if the temperature difference defines the speed of the engine, is this correct?
How much would I have to pay for one of these magnificent pieces of art? I'm planning to give it to my cousin, she's getting married some time next year!
I don't sell any of my engines; sorry for that. But I can deliver you drawings plans via my web site; type my name (jan ridders) in Google Search and my site will be on top of the list.
This is awesome!
One question: would it run better if you heat up the top side and cool down the bottom (or vice versa) than heating or cooling only one side?
