Stirling Engine Video
By karlw
Last year, Tom dropped by the lab and gave a presentation about the beautiful Stirling engine that he built using his Taig milling machine and lathe. I found some video of the machine and finally uploaded it to youtube. The Stirling engine, which runs on a heat source, operated for hours sitting on top of a mug of hot water.











Unless it is made of pure silver, shouldn’t that be a “Stirling” engine rather than a “Sterling” engine?
Hmmm. I guess it could just be top-notch in which case it would be a “sterling Stirling engine.”
LOL. Typo, thanks for pointing that out.
Hey I am REALLY wanting to build one of these for a final Machining proect and my instructor said we all could build one if we got the prints for the individual parts… Any chance I could get the plans anywhere?
