Hi, "How do we work out the weight of the counter weight that the yoke turns, for it to be balaced. Is there a way we can calculate it with with our piston and rod size." Yes. You must know the mass and center of mass of all rotating parts. Look at this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lever ...

Hi,

try using a fine whire for the displacer connecting rod. so the hole in the working piston can be smaler.

The working piston must fit perfect in the working cylinder and have low friction. It must be created with high precision.

greetings

Hi, questions to the RPM: Can the RPM be conmtrolled by changing the angle of the crankshaft? I expect a greater angle make the engine faster, a smaler make is slower? Right now it got ~90°. Maybe a slower running engine will have more power? It got already watercooling, no watercycle, but evaporati...

Here you see the engine on a very smal candle.

Using a bigger flame it becomes very fast.

What do you think about it?

It is already working very fine, but how can i Improve it?

the new piston in use works mouch better, work cylinder is replaced to the center.
better displacer is in use too.

The newly designed heat exchanger did improve heat throughput and boosts power.
Now i will make a video.

Guten Tag, today i made a big advance. The engine runs. But it needs two tea candles. I will try to improve it today. 1. use more fine steel wool and i will try not to compress the steel wool for the displacer. 2. relocate the connecting rod of the displacer. I will drill it trough the piston. 3. ma...

This will become the work cylinder. the piston is made of gypsum, frapped with aluminium foil. http://s1.directupload.net/images/140828/csrhaijn.jpg I am not happy with the piston. It will look like this. http://s7.directupload.net/images/140828/4ie98qct.jpg I wanna use hold the crankshaft like that...

My displacer is finished, he is made of steel wool.

Guten Tag, I' ve been reading in this forum quit a while and i did watch some videos about stirling engines. It looks very cool. I build my first engine now. I hope you will like it. It will be a beta type engine. It is going to be made of metal cans. I want it to run on a smal tea candle. The displ...
