Moriya Fan

[mnay]

I know lots of these fans have been built. Here is my version. The only changes I made is that I eliminated the gaskets and modified it to fit the ball bearings on hand. I runs great. I would recommend it as a first stirling engine project.
If you don't want a fan, a flywheel will work in its place

Going make one some day. Need more time. Looks good

That one looks real nice. Are there plans available? Is there a version that can sit on top of a wood stove?

You can buy available stove top Stirlings or make a copy of one. http://www.stirlingengine.com/product/stirling-engine-stove-fan/

The plans came from the book: Steam and Stirling engines you can build.
This particular design was by James Senft. Excellent design, runs great.

Looks real nice. Good job! Neat to see a Stirling doing something other than spin its own flywheel. It is about 35C here at the moment so I reckon a Moriya might be my next project.

Mike looks great would love to see the engine in motion if you happen to have a video
