Right now I’m trying to understand the theory of how these engines work because my motor runs in the opposite direction that I think it should run.
Hello Harry, just remember the displacer piston leads the power piston by 90° to 110°. That will determine the direction it runs. Your engine is...
Harry, I looked at my post this morning and found a mistake I missed.
I stated the ratio of the 2 displacements in the Pop Sci model being 1.5:1.
I later looked at the blueprints and determined the ratio to be per print at 4:1.
The ratio of the displacements and a proven design are the most...
Hello Harry Mueller, this is my 1st attempt at a post with this forum.
My 1st Stirling build was from plans found in the July 1965 issue of Popular Science magazine over 45 year ago. I didn't do every thing right but it ran well.
If you can find that issue you will see the displacer...
