IT RUNS!!!! 1/2-Scale Essex Caloric Engine

[littlelocos]

It's Official: The 1/2-scale Essex Caloric Engine (Stirling-cycle) I had at our booth at the Cabin Fever Expo is running. The final pieces of the puzzle came together last night with the installation of a stainless-steel-wool-filled regenerator in place of the original displacer piston. Today, I've been working on the patterns and hope to have them to the foundry the week of June 16th.

A video of the engine running can be found on our public facebook page at:

Enjoy,
Todd.
