Engine no 3, 'Nodding Donkey'

This engine takes the form of an air-cooled nodding donkey, inspired by the Besemstiel Stirling engine of Klaus Koch. The upper part of the pillar attached to the working cylinder is hollow.
Instead of using a tube to achieve an air connection between the power piston and the displacer a hole was drilled in the engine plate (cooling plate) (on the lathe in the four-jaw chuck). Together this made the air connection between the working space and the displacer body. In this way I was able to realize a clean design with no tube or hose visible.

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.

@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.

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

[Donkelo]

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

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.
