Stirling 2

Friday 24th February

So, the other day I decided to buy a Stirling engine kit, and it arrived today. About an hour and a half was all it took to build (with two hours out in the middle to play badminton and allow the loctite to set). The results are just great!

There’s a 4.8MB video to download here, too.

  5. I did a few bhp tests later or (ok… I tried stopping the flywheel with my finger). It really doesn’t generate a lot of power - I’m not sure it would be enough to run a dynamo of any sort.

    But it’s still fun!
