Great

its sitting on a black mat, the hot side is the bottom.

Lovely engine. if the top were not so shiny it would probably absorb a lot more heat from the sun.

As I read it - The displacer is 5/16 in thick and the displacer cylinder is 10/16 in thick, which relates to 50%.
Looks like it too in the video, so thank You for Your readily answers. Appreciated.

Very nicely made
I wish my practical engineering was so well made

Hi katieswan1234567,
That is a very nice piece of work.
I am in the process of building a low-budget LTD Stirling engine myself, not in the ballpark that You operate in.
Would You be kind and give Your take on the thickness of the displacer, related to displacement cylinder in percent?
I have seen the value of 65%, but it appears that quite a few builders rather go lower, maybe even down to 50%.
Thank You in advance.

Me again - I forgot to ask, is that a regenerator, that can be seen through the window on top?
Once again, great job.
