I have made an improvement to the framework of the hot wire foam cutter. I noticed others doing similar things and it does help keep the wire taught when heated.

You might find a little help in these troubleshooting tips: http://sites.google.com/site/stirlingbuilder/troubleshooting-tips The common problems with pop can engines are pressure leaks, balance problems, or friction. It can also be a combination of those things. The folks on the forum could probabl...

No. It won't work. The magnets will move to the position of neutral force and stop.

That is a great video. Thanks for sharing.

If you ever make a Low Temperature Differential Stirling Engine, like a coffee cup or pancake style engine, this is a slick way to cut the foam for your displacer disks.

One of the frequent comments I receive on small Stirling engines is, "But will it DO anything?" Well, yes! This one will!

Hello friends. I just finished a new Walking Beam engine. http://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-YjGc_1jVqTg/T51LGeUSOpI/AAAAAAAAHw8/zXltdJDayrY/s602/IMG_4780.JPG Also today I am celebrating 1,000,000 views of my Stirling Engine videos on YouTube! You can see a video of this new engine running by visitin...

Click the link above to see a class project in Norway building the Quick and Easy Stirling Engine. There are links on the page displaying many photos and several videos of the finished engines running.

Personally, I am kind of partial to this design. :-)

I have never tried to generate electricity with one, but I am sure it could be done on a very small scale.

Maybe this will help: http://sites.google.com/site/stirlingbu ... gines-work

That is an article about how Stirling Engines work.

Thanks to all for your help. The leading candidate solution is this: http://vvskomplett.no/pvc-albu-for-liming-1

I appreciate the support of the Stirling engine community. You guys are great.

That is an excellent idea. I will look into that.

Here is an example of the Quick and Easy Stirling Engine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTFfZk7Bg90 The plastic pipe elbow is better than metal for this application because all it does is hold the balloon diaphragm. For this application it needs to be cheap, easy to find, and easy to form. The end ...

I need some help from my European friends. There are two school teachers in Norway who want to build The Quick and Easy Stirling Engine with a class of 50 teenagers. The engine uses a 3/4" x 1/2" PVC pipe elbow as the drive cylinder. The teachers tell me that this part is not easy to find ...

That looks great! The resin castings must be decent conductors. It would be fun to see 40 of these running at the same time.
