Looks nice, How well does the burner work, what type of fuel? What type of material did you make the hot cap from?

 

[minh-thanh]

Thanks Chiptosser ! I use alcohol , hot cap : aluminium , (stainless steel : better ! I don't have tig welding machine...), displacer: aluminium, power piston : brass, cylinder : steel .

Runs great, nice work. One day I'll have a go at a Stirling of some sort.

[Bhai_log]

do you have drawings of it?

 

[minh-thanh]

I do not have a drawing , I just think in my head and do it, it sounds like selfish - BUT that is real !
I'm so sorry .
If you want the parameters of it .... I will give it to you.

Good job. Your engine is very similar to one designed by Thorn Mayes and published in HSM magazine, Sept.-Oct., 1983. It was my first Stirling engine and I still run it occasionally.
