Hi, http://gti-duffel.be/4B/StirlingCD/Stirling-CD01.mpg http://gti-duffel.be/4B/StirlingCD/Stirling-CD100.jpg This is what pupils from our school (GTI-Duffel - Belgium) made. It took about 5 pupils on a 2 hours/week basis to finish it in almost 4 months. Purpose is to have this engine mounted on a ...

Ian,

Hold your horses...!
This LTD is not mine...!

I did reply because Aviator 168 started this thread about regenerators.

Chris

This regenerator + ice does work very well :
A LTD running 1000 rpm, never seen before..!

Hi, Meanwhile I found myself this : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxBKE_8kicE and the beauty of it, the man who created this magnificent running thing lives almost nextdoor. He has no plans or drawings to work with, but he's prepared to meet me in a few days, so we can discuss and talk about it. Th...

Ian,

Do you have drawings and info I could use to build us that engine please..?

Hi there, I've read about a flame-eater driving a train. This project is described in a booklet 'Heisluftmotoren VII' bij Udo Mannek. I'm interested in building such an engine, but my intension is to drive a small train (or maybe just the loc) with it. My goal is to drive a train to have it run on a...

Hi guys, I'm into astronomy. If you want to track the sun, a equatorial mount would help you a lot. To be clear on the matter, speed summer or winter is the same. Only the position of the sun is a bit different in height. For a few bucks you could buy such a mount. With a bit of luck there even is a...

Thanks again for the input and the tips guys, Chriskie, I am not sure what you are teaching with this project. But if you want to teach efficiency or engineering I suggest you simplify the system. The others who mentioned power loss are correct. Every time you convert your power you will lose a lot ...

Thanks guys, ...for the comment so far. I think this project, if correctly designed, should work just fine. Possibly the 50% drop of power, as Ian wrote, is a bit on the high side. let's hope it will not be the case... On the other hand I think we should indeed consider about the cooling, and even f...

Hi guys, I'dd like to start a new project next schoolyear (I'm a teacher) Purpose is to run an air engine, which will spin an alternator(of some kind) which will feed an electric motor. These motors will be used to drive a cart capable transporting one person. I'm not planning to make a speedy machi...

This is an example, a very small one.

Just finished making this drawing and animation, planning to build this one in the near futur.
It's actually a project out of 'Onder Stoom' a dutch journal.

I think it's not workable because of the expansion, caused by the engine's heat.
Never tested it myself...
Other thoughts....?
