You are right about flywheel, the engine had the heavier one some time ago , this engine is 8 years old and I found some different application for the flywheel :-)

Thank you, but I do not have any students.

For the piston I used the aluminium from old hard drive casing,the hard drive casing alloy is the same as the real pistons made of, I melted it in home log burner in a petfood can and poured into the aluminium tube that was stuck into the sand to block open side of the tube.

so the piston is solid aluminium cast.

Thanks

It is ok if people asking questions it is mean that they are somehow interested, thanks for your interest.

The application is simple - just to anderstand the principal of the stirling motor operation and the only true way - is to build the moving model by yourself just what I have done.

Thanks

wow that is so awesome you should make a tutorial on how to build it! very interested 5/5

[jcbiddulph]

i think you should use a heavier flywheel? that way it would be easier to get it going

[AnthonyClaro]

I made a mathematical model and found that difrent sise drive pistons are more or less eficient at difrent tempratures, I think you could make it run much better by playing with piston sizes

Liked too much. Great machine!

[mashersmasher]

i wonder if you had a few mirrors under if it would get hot enough to run with solar power.

Congratulations to your students for a job well done!

Type "boyd's tin can stirling engine" in on google and click on the first site and you will find plans for this exact engine this site will work, I have made one and it works good.

Amazing ingenuity , and yes I did not intend to be negative about your accomplishment , I just did not understand that it could use something else as an energy source such as solar power, thanks!
