I've finally decided make a little stirling as a project but I'm confused on the piston/displacer positions. I know the crank should be set 90* apart but, lets say, when the displacer is at TDC, where should the power piston be?
BDC? half way between? :s

Thanks,

Canuck

yea i used the crinked kind, and ill try the duct tape idea. Next Monday ill tear into it.

Well i finally put it all together, and!!!...it didnt work:( lol doesnt matter, im going to tear it apart and see whats up. I think the balloon power piston, isnt being pushed down enough. Ill post a pic of it a little later, been busy with homework latly:P What would you recommend for a diaplacer, ...

Awesome thanks alot! Yea it is pretty similar. a quick question, the displacer crank is suppose to be bend 90 deg. to the power piston crank, right? also when the displacer is at its bottom stroke, where should the power piston be? lol im new to this stuff and this is my first stirling. Thanks again...

Im trying to design a displacer type, stirling engine and want to know if this plan would work. any suggestions/advice are welcome! Im using copper wire for the crank and connecting rods, to cardboard disc's as a displacer, soup ...
