Did some extensive googling and you are right. I found Andy Ross's "Making a Stirling Engine" ebook and am very interested in the D-90 engine he built . It has a 57.9mm bore and 24.1mm stroke. It uses the ross yoke mechanism and so the the "crank throw dia" is 17mm. Please tell m...

Personally, I would reduce the stroke to about half of that quoted. Ian S C Will try to make some adjustments. I'm also looking to use the Ross Yoke mechanism. Runs smooth it would seem... I have found a Final term project report of some people while browsing randomly for a long time. They got abou...

Ipkvh11, I would suggest thatwith the size motor you are proposing, you will need to run the motor with the hot end 700deg C+, and the more pressure, the more heat (not temperature, ie., a match can be as hot as a bon-fire, but the bon-fire may have thousands of times more heat. Transfering heat by...

Hi i'm Kiran Hegde from Karnataka, India. I'm new here. I'm in my final semester (4th year) of mechanical engineering now and have been obsessed about them since i watched a video of tin can engine on youtube in my 2nd year. Unfortunately there are no books in our library about SE and buying them is...

Thanks for the reply chris. To be honest even i'm a newbie although i have been obsessed with stirling engines for the past 2 years... I'll take your advice and contact Mr. Ross. This is going to be my final year project in engineering. I want to make a useful engine and not just for marks. That is ...

Hi! I want to build an alpha stirling engine (my first). I have decided the following characteristics. Please tell me if it will work. I will grateful if anyone can give me the equations to find out power for the particular dimensions; or atleast refer me some good books (PS: i'm not very good at ma...
