  • Can't wait to see how this runs! Very fine work!

    Do you have a link to a website that explains how to cast the ceramic pieces like that? Using ceramics to reduce conduction losses is a good idea. Thanks!

  • Not on GreenGasFuel as yet. I may build a heating element ceramic head in place of the copper for testing. I will YouTube the process.

    1. Build a mold (one time use).

    2. Mix 2 part Epoxy

    3. Add ceramic mix until very thick.

    4. Pour into mold and VIBRATE!

    I will have to find materials links.

    Hope this helps for now.

  • Nice job man. I am concerned about the fact that you are pressurizing the whole setup, gearbox and all. If so, won't you lose power? The piston power stroke gets its power from differential pressure, so you want the opposite side of the piston to be unpressurized. You will get more volume of air to work with, but not as much power as possible. Am I right? Nice job anyway though.

  • The system is in one atmosphere naturally, it already is pressureized- think about it! Increasing working fluid system pressure increases output, decreasing pressure lowers outputs.

  • Can you believe, this entire engine completely disassembles, in minutes, with only four allen wrenches!

  • AWESOME! Absolutely amazing construction. Can't wait to see the results. Keep up the hard work.

  • Thank you cavebandit, lots going on, Can't wait to show this and more.

  • I want to build something similar...Nice implementation however I see several serious design problems at least from my view.

    1) Way too much moving mass

    2) Ceramic of epoxy base not tolerant of heat - will melt as likely you learned

    3) Too much friction

    4) Bearings needed at all joints

  • The cylinder Must be sealed at both ends...to create Pressure and Vacuum...

  • Those shoulder bolts, look more like elbow bolts to me.

  • nicely made well done cant wait to see it move

  • Beau travail - encouragements

  • I love the stirling engine

    We are on the same path

    Phoenix labs??

    Are you in Phoenix??

    Let me know if you need any help

    I have a machine shop

    And am working on Solar,Stirling,Gasifier,Wvo!!!­ECT...

    I have a few youtube flicks saved using the rombic drive!
