I used the Haigh Piston. I used the same size brass pipe for my mould, as the cylinder; 2 crimp connectors set in the matrix for the piston pin(plastic removed). Then I knocked it out of it's mould and turned it down on the drill press for a great fit. I used sanding cloth plumbers use for dressing-...

Hey! It really DOES WORK!! I "finished" my first tincan walking beam this evening, and it worked just fine. I didn't think it would for some reason, but once it started to gather it's momentom, the rods came flying off and the power piston almost blew right out of the cylinder lol. I'll pu...

Sinusodial is the desciption of a particular cycle. It DOES NOT pause sir.It goes peek to peek. Actually, it goes from zero to peek, then to zero, then to peek. The positive to negative occurs between alternations(peek to peek) .A sin wave is equal at both peeks, unless "clipped". The peek...

Thanks for your reply, now I can solder my unit complete.I should have realized the rationality! Dam, lol.(just kidding). So then; if we further that equation to the effect, to gain more action on the power piston; would it be recommended to increase the heat/cold to higher/lower temperatures,and pr...

I have recently discovered, old IBM hard drives have excellent precision flywheel components. I took apart 3 different makes, and found the IBM the best one so far.The Maxtor and the Seagate were at the time,(1995 or older) obviously the lesser quality by far.If you're careful, there's some nice lit...

I am building a walking beam type stirling, and would like to know the "proper distance" for the heating/cooling tanks. I am useing the plans provided here at the best site around for Stirling information!!
Right on Mr. Boyd!
