  • you know what i think the out of tune piano is great! it gives a wonderful emosional diminsion to the song, was that an official song or was it someone you know that played? either way i love piano playing of this style and would like the info about it

  • @benjorgensen1

    The music is from the Youtube library, I cant play that good. :)

  • No, the Ross Yoke linkage is not the same as a scotch crank,

    Sometime I will dismantle the engine to let you see the insides. :)

  • boy that thing is tiny.

    is that a single piece block (piston housing)? how did you machine that?

  • The crankcase body is a brass fabrication

    Three separate parts silver soldered together.

    The bearing housing and rear cover are screw cut and tightened with a pin spanner. All bearings are ball race,

    Best regards.

  • I have built a few Stirling engines, but yours is a great design. Are there any plans avaliable? Or a sketch or even a picture of the parts before assembly? I really would like to buil something like this.

  • Sorry, no drawings. :-)

    Just in case anyone else is wondering. It's NiN album Ghosts. The piano is out of tune a little on purpose, to reflect oddly on past great hits and moment of the band. Great album. And cool little engine in the video.

  • Very beautiful, not sure about the gold plating though. Nice uncluttered forms.Love the glass crank case end cap.

  • Your work is incredible.Inspiring.

  • beautiful design!

  • I think you will find that the dissonance is intentional. I think it's from the NIN album "ghosts"

  • who cares about the piano's b flat string lol.

    This is a v gamma type stirling engine with displacer cylindar on the left and a piston on the right. the piston is top loaded with pressureand vacuum.

    good question

  • Além de bonito, tem um funcionamento invejável. Parabéns!

  • the piano playing isn't that bad, the piano is just out of tune
