Many thanks Jim, downloaded my copy in the UK...Monday morning...guess the timing for free download was US time. Many thanks again.

Not sure about the chrome effect. Also firebox seems to be missing. I would hold out for a better example.

Rather than heat differential, temperature differential might describe it better. Thus you will always have a 'hot' and 'cold' side whatever your definition of heat.

Yep picture 2 is basically a model of pic 1. (Although slightly different design). To answer your own question do you see a visual marker in these engines? They are recognisable to Stirling enthusiasts but would they be so to your audience? The characteristic of a Stirling engine tends to be non vis...

Hi Socialschism, thanks for the background on the comic book. I would suggest the visual marker for a Stirling engine (beta & gamma) would be the displacer. There was a topic in the forum http://stirlingengineforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=919&p=3429#p3418 with the following video. http:/...

Would be interested to know what the Stirling engine is used for in the comic strip. Knowing this might give rise to ideas of a design that you might like to think out about. There are various types of Stirling engine as Ferracio aludes to...is the comic strip futuristic or back in time...more info ...

Hi Geoff, which part of the world are you in?

Note that it is Philips Stirling and Philips Cryogenics that Ian SC refers to.

The name officially is Philips Gloeilampenfabrieken N.V, not to be confused with the other company with two L's!

Here's another article on the Dodge pick up...http://www.farmshow.com/view_articles.php?a_id=1094

The annoying thing is there is a sign right next to the engine. I wish he had included that in the video.

Hi Ian, Yes I have been looking at it and agree regarding the piston. What do you think the displacer is made of? The design is as a model LTD engine. Rather than being an attractive curiosity (as the youtube video maker wonders what it is) I would like to think of an application for it. I have long...

That is a nice LTD engine. I hope you can find the builder of the engine and perhaps he can give us the plans. Is it too low an output to do useful work?

Nice engine!

Only just found this thread. Great intructions on the construction. Many thanks.
