G'day,

Im always interested by motors and when someone showed me that a certain type of motor can run when one cylinder is heated and the other cooled, i was amazed!

So i did a little looking around and found some mini Stirling engines, one with 1 flywheel and one with 2.

They came with a base (which is pretty dodgy quality), some wick and a aluminum burner, i filled mine with methylated spirits and it works well.

Running!



Got my new Stirling motor, its made in Japan works really well, even has a DC generator hooked up :)



Thanks for looking!

Fiddy.

Your building so much cool stuff. Me jelly. The next thing you should try building is a Tesla Turbine.
