for the displacer piston you can simply take the displacer cylinder making sure its open on both sides lay the tube vertical on some kind of surface and take aluminum foil fill the tube with it and then simply take some kind of solid metal cylinder or some kind of thing to compress the aluminum foil...

on youtube i have seen many laminar flow stirling engines which use one piston but most of them dont do any real work they are really just toy models. but i have wondered if these can be scaled up to produce lets say at least 100 watts i have seen only about two on youtube which generate over 10 wat...

cool im hoping to make 50 or 60 watt with this new engine i build maybe ill power it with solar

ok so does that mean a gamma stirling engine can be built like an alpha with the displacer and power piston 90 degrees from each other

i know alpha stirling engines have their cylinders at 90 degree angles from each other but i was wondering if a gamma stirling engine can have the displacer cylinder and the power cylinder 90 degrees from each other. it would be easier to build this way because the crankshaft wouldnt need as much ma...
