Hi! First of all we would need to know just what kind of engine are you planning? Alpha, Beta or Gamma? High or low temperature difference? The expected power output? If you wan't an engine that has all that information already measured and drawn, purchase plans and build one from those. "From ...

Hi! For your information, I live in the EU. The friction of my mechanical parts is as low as it can be by this sitting. All of the joints have ball bearings mounted, and the mass of the moving parts is as low as possible without compromising strength. My only problem now it so make pistons that are ...

Hi! The electrical system is out of the question because of it's low efficiency. You easily understand it by considering the difficulty our small engines have with friction losses. Furthermore, there's no point in large scale gamma stirling, since it has very low power-to-weight and power-to-volume ...

Those glass-graphite sets would be fine, but they only ship to US it seems. Besides, I have had problms with the customs in the past for ordering "extraordinary items". My brass cylinders are fine, no complaints about them. It's only the piston that give me gray hair. Polyacetal won't work...

Some scrapyards (like this one) only has different metals sorted out in huge piles, the others, on the other hand, sort pipes, bars, sheets etc. to separated piles. It is usually very cheap to buy materials from scrapyard as they only charge you the stock scr...
