Does anyone know of a better way to remove the burrs after you cut this tube ?
I've been running a knife around the inside of the tube to get rid of the burrs, but
I'm sure there must be a better way ?

That copper piston looks rough, did you sand it to size ? Have you tried submerging the WHOLE engine in HOT water to check for air leaks ?

If you're looking for an easy to build Stirling engine, check out my easy to build Stirling engine fan, see my signature (my ae site).

It should run fine with those tolerances.

Don't forget the photo's, please!

You can have a look at my coke coke Stirling Generators they sound like what you're looking for: They are on my site at http://sites.google.com/site/reukpower I made two one that produces around 25mw and one that produces around 50mw of electricity. They have displacers made from steel wire wool whi...

Thanks for explaining, I look forward to your next video !

I saw one like this on youtube, but I can't find it now.

It is out there somewhere! If I find it I'll let you know.

You video barely explains anything about what's special about your idea or why it might be
worthy of a donation ? The video is really vague, and drawn out (I had to skip a lot of it)

Care to elaborate ?

The only thing I can guess is you're going to alternately heat and cool a cylinder ?

Good instructions those.

Will you be showing us photo's of the construction process ? Is the engine going to pressurized with some exotic gas.
Were those Phillips engines pressurized ?

You can always have a look at my coke can Stirling engine generators if you're stuck for ideas

Thanks for the plans really helpful. You should post them on a website like instructables :razz: I will be having a go at building this sometime. One thing though, I had to rename all of your image files from upper case to lower case to get them to load in the html, could be because I'm using Linux ...

That's really impressive that it runs on just the heat of your hand. Congrats :D

That's a really nice engine. It's inspired me to make one along the same lines, can you tell me what you made the displacer out of ?

I've just posted a new how to on building a simple Stirling engine fan.

There's a video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Heg3xaWUMks

and the how to is on my site http://sites.google.com/site/reukpower/

Thanks Jim, it was fun building it! I'm already thinking about the next improved version!

You have a look at this. All simple solar engines, that don't require any machine tools.
