2.670 Stirling Engine

This is the modified Stirling engine I built for the MIT course 2.670.

I designed and machined the copper heatsink myself, bored out the hole between the displacement and power cylinders, and added bearings to the flywheel shaft. The flywheel design is a poor and reverse copy of the wheels on the Lamborghini Reventon. The engine hit 980 rpm during the end-of-class spinoff despite loose bearings. It hit 1150 rpm during a modified engine spinoff by placing ice on the copper fins, making it one of the fastest 2.670 engines in the 13 year history of the course.

Awesome engine, congrats on building one of the fastest, i hope to build one someday even if it is from a kit.

Don't You Evah by Spoon. I saw them live at Liberty Hall in Lawrence, KS. Great set. Interesting that you would have more questions about the song than the Stirling Engine, however. Not my clip. Just a casual observer.

maszyna niczego sobie

chciałbym zbydować taką

prosze autora tego filmu a ptrzesłanie planów konstrukcyjnych

jaśli się zgadza niech potwierdzi

z góry dziękuje
