Re: My opinion to develop the forum.
If the forum had say 10 times the usage it has (meaning post), dividing the forum into sections may make sense. However with this forum, most of the post would not be seen if the forums were divided into smaller sections (other main categories). On any forums, the "main forum" gets all the...

Re: walking beam engine does not run
See, that is why I have the plans there. I love hearing that. The little engine is a great learning device and is a great prep for a "more challenging" model.Deepwater wrote:Very happy,... ready to move on to my next Stirling project..
Have fun!

Re: walking beam engine does not run
These engines are very fussy about friction. That is, all the joints and moving part have to be "loose", very loose. If the parts fit too tight, it will not work. This is the reason most of the engines don't work right off. Make it loose (but not sloppy). The power piston and piston cylind...

Re: walking beam engine does not run
lasanderson,
I sent you an email.
I will post a sheet here on how to trouble shoot the engine when I get home. It is probably a timing issue.

Re: Tin Can Engine
Hi Devin, #1 does the hole in the piston cylinder into the dispacer cylinder have to be small like that to keep pressure or could the entire 1" be cut out as long as there is no leaks to improve efficientcy? I found if it is too small it will give you problems. You will loose power. A little la...

Excellent engine. The Lamina is my next engine to make. I have three different plans for it right now. I like the way you secure the test tube to the engine. That is a great idea! Nice mounting of parts also! Very nice! There apears to be 2 or 3 different versions on your links. Same engine differen...

I would still disagree with the piston being part of the momentum of the flywheel or part of the flywheel. :eek: Maybe I’m wrong here but :shock: when the piston get to the most outward position something has to stop it in it’s track and get it to go the other way. That takes energy to do that. That...
