Trying to build beta stirling engine
Posted: Mon Nov 13, 2017 2:49 pm
I'm working on building a beta type stirling engine for school but before I move on to fabrication of the engine I would like to make sure my dimensions and ratios are correct for the engine to run. I am planning to make this engine vertical.
Here is a sketch of my dimensions
https://docs.google.com/document/d/18ew ... sp=sharing
The hot cylinder will be: 55mm long and 18mm wide
The cool cylinder will be: 36mm long and 18mm wide
My displacer will be: 36mm long and 17mm wide
My power piston will be: 10mm long and fit in the cool cylinder
Strokes: Both strokes for the pistons will be 20mm long
Can anyone help verify that this engine if built correct will run? Thank you so much.
