hi pete You draw engine which is something between Stoddard engine-cycle and Brayton engine-cycle but this is not Stirling cycle. And of course it will work if turbine has bigger flow rate of pump-compressor. some information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stoddard_cycle http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

@ Ferracio Sorry for long waiting on my response. My english is also bad so no reasons for apologies :) I understand what you are thinking, but my opinion is that bigest advantage of ross yoke (except almost perfectly straight leading) is simple crank shaft. For our models this is easiest way to mak...

Jan thank you for advices I did not find steel can of smaller diameter high enough, so I will try with this can D=6.5cm , but smaller stroke of displacer. I expect volume ratios Vdisp/Vcil about 8. about material for cylinder, because I don't have lathe only way to make nice piston-cylinder is coppe...

Hello people here I am again.. After lots of searching I found material for cylinder and displacer chamber. cylinder is nice copper pipe ID 2cm and for displacer chamber i found steel spray can. Problem is that the spray can has diameter 6.5cm and high 12.5cm it is not ratio 1/3 So my question is wh...

hello here me again :) I do some homework, and dig all around to find some cans and similar things for displacer cylinder. here they are: http://img694.imageshack.us/img694/2986/posude.th.jpg so I need advice what to use for my cylinder. on totally left you can see working piston, cylinder and suppo...

of course

When I mentioned next drilling, I thought on next gland

Salute!

I did not drill with drill bit 2mm, I drilled with drill bit 1.8mm and after that with bike spoke reamer 2mm on drill press on small speed, heat was enormous so that lubrication oil was instantly evaporated and reamer was damaged. But last night I sharpened reamer and polish new bike spoke and after...

Ian I was cutting with reamer 2/10 mm of diameter (drill 1.8mm reamer 2mm)is it to much for reamer it was damaged after first drilling.. and tight hole is (I think) because of high temperature, so brass was little widen. I could not test hole yesterday because I did not have new bike spoke. So I nee...

I drilled brass bolt with advices of Ian SC New detail is tapered bot , I used it to make thread in wood with drill press, so I have nice centered bolt for drilling here few pictures http://img844.imageshack.us/img844/3383/dsc03080poq.th.jpg http://img830.imageshack.us/img830/7554/dsc03081t.th.jpg b...

I finished file and here it is, finished ross-yoke.


Salute !

I was trying to find some simple calculation to predict ross-yoke mechanism. Because i did not find it, I made some simple excel file. So if someone need it just download it.. input variables are: radius of crank , bottom lenght of "T" element and two arms. output is two strokes, phase ang...

@theropod2 I understand you everything, and I am familiar with lots of types of mechanical motions, and I did not want to philosophize :) I wanted to say ... A picture is worth off a thousand words so here it is, picture: http://img855.imageshack.us/img855/2702/drawing1.png , I deliberately wrote sh...

How big? model boat about 0.5 meters because of some technical problems with solidworks I uploaded only in avi format, some "artistic impression" of boat. http://img824.imageshack.us/img824/8537/xoj.mp4 I think you may be seeing the result of too fast a feed, the wrong type bit and not ke...

Hello people! First, I apologize for any mistakes made ​​in the English grammar in writing in the future :) I am not new member, but my old account is erased... So.. I am trying to make stirling engine with enough power to move something (boat) After lots of attempts I am changing direction of build...
