There are some nice engines on Dave Goodfellow' site, I know lot's of people have built them successfully, me included, so they are obviously simple ;D you might find an odd dimension missing but generally it's easy to figure out.

Click here and scroll down the page to about half way.

Hi,

the following French site offers several plans: http://membres.lycos.fr/vapeurlanguedoc/plans.htm

Warm regards,

Fred

BTW: This is my first post here. Short intro: I am a Stirling and steam enthusiast from Germany primarily interested in tiny engines and unusual Stirling motors.

Yep Duck, you should reap plenty of ideas from any or all of the above.

Welcome, and welcome Fred.

Here is a set of plans on this board. A design by Chuck and drawings / build by Brian. It does not require any difficult set up or operations. I am just finishing a build of this one. It is a horizontal single with either a conventional valve or a hit-miss set up.

:-\ Well, that's not something to teach people; rejecting work because you don't like the way it's been drawn.
