Don't know if this has been posted before or if the gentleman that built these is a member here. I feel these engines are worth a look. They are interesting and very elegant.

Variety of design and elegance both!!! Thanks for sharing these Kenny

I've seem some of the other ones he has built. Very nice work.

Makes one wonder if that could be done with our air/steam engines?

Beautiful!
If anyone needed convincing to do a Stirling...that video would do it.
I'm convinced.
Thanks very much for posting that Kenny.
Just awesome stuff.
 
VERY VERY Nice engines!!!!
And DOUBLE BONUS - I love Dvorak!!!

An expert at combining art and form. My engines are predominately straight lines
 
Very very impressive, I envy anyone that can come up with anything as elegant as that.
I am more of a person who builds things to serve a purpose, but the stirling has my attention in how simple it is yet how precise you have to be to get it to work.
 
I love them too... but, as nice as the music is, I really want to hear them go chug, chug, chug.
 
Here is a Rhombic drive Stirling.
I'll take some video and post too.
The hot cap will glow bright orange.
Cool end has a water jacket and a water pump to circulate cooling water/
It has been strobed at over 3000 RPM.
Lots of fun.
