Re: Gamma Type Troubleshooting

In my opinion, the following changes might help in running this engine. 1. Make a new power piston and cylinder of smaller size. OR 2. Reducing the length of pipe between both cylinders. OR 3. Using a piston rod and connecting rod mechanism similar to the Displacer Cylinder for the Power Piston Cyli...

Re: Solar Stirling Engine

Ian SC your collection looks amazing, you have done some pretty good work here. My partner and I have decided to build a smaller working engine to get the grasp of things and make points of all things important. We may even use this one for our presentation but for the final project, we are aiming f...

Re: Solar Stirling Engine

Thankyou for your replies. I was thinking of using a parabolic solar dish or a fresnel lens and a gamma type engine since its easier to build (according to my research). I have lathe,milling,shaper and planer at my university workshop but i can access other workshops aswell if I need to.

Solar Stirling Engine

I want to make a stirling engine using solar energy for an engineering project. I want to attempt producing 100watts but I am unsure of where to start and how to proceed with the project. Please guide me and name some reference books that can come in handy. This is my first attempt ever at fabricati...
