That makes perfect sense I would imagine you shouldn't have any problems with a 6" flywheel, but you might want to use bearings instead of bushings like I done, just a taught

Yes it definetlly gets faster with the load off the motor, produces over 12v with no load then down to 4v with the lights on, thanks

Hi all just a little update to my stirling fan now Powering lights. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tQ5LWou5evY

Hi all, I decided to build something a little easier then usual with my 9yr old son who is slowly starting to understand my fascination with stirling engines hopefully some day to continue........ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cp64S6f4uXY

Thanks to everyone for your comments, I must say having being using it the past few months it is definitly the best stirling runner in my collection.

My latest build a variant of the moriya stirling fan runs nice and quite

Hi all I posted this video on youtube almost a year ago ,along with a flame eater and various other engines most dont have many views but this has over half a million http://youtu.be/1QtO5jJyK5A If you want a good laugh sit back and read through the comments.....very funny Regards Jamie

Thanks stan very true, The cylinder I am using is very slightly magnetic and dull compared to other stainless which I have seen. l am not sure what it is for sure but will carry on. If I get it to run once that will be mission accomplished, It will probably end up on a shelf after that anyway. Jamie

Thanks Lads ,Nick you are right I have built one before it was, as recommended by Andrew, a Jan Ridders vertical flame eater with external valve. I would like to try a different valve set up this time. Nick I wonder would I be able to use a similar setup to the poppin or will I have to make it...

Hi everybody I started on a flame eater I am building ,This project started when i found a nice piece of stainless hex which I wanted to mount at 45 degrees to look some way like a cannon......I am using a CI piston 26mm with a 40 mm total stroke ,The crankshaft is built up, I will silver solder...

Very nice little plant there I would also love to see a video of it running Jamie

Still following along here I admire your dedication to detail :bow:

I know this is not a full model but what a beauty I saw this at a show recently in Ireland Im sure a few people will enjoy this..... Jamie http://youtu.be/lGLs83PETF4

Nicely done congratulations, I can see more of these being built....... Jamie

Thanks Travis Since you are just getting into model engines you are definetlly in the right place. The amount of friendly help and information you can get here is almost endless from all the different people with various opinions and backgrounds. Welcome aboard ! and happy building . Jamie
