Longboy's "OVER 90" Stirling engine.

[Longboy]

A gamma type beam engine where the beam is bridged over the flywheel. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8H64X_NBuo[/ame]

Very nice indeed. Never seen one with the beam going "sideways" before. Intriguing.

Very nice smooth running engine - very well done job.

I've seen graphite mentioned as part for these sterling engines, where do one obtain graphite ?

You can buy graphite "stirring rods" for jewellers casting gold and silver etc on eBay. Some of the model supply outlets stock it too.

Or the Graphite Store

Wow lovely Stirling I also have never seen one with a 90deg beam but that makes it all the more fasinating.
Keep up the marvelous work
