Paint Can Stirling Engine

Post by jimlarsen »

It is sad but true. I had a dream that I made a Stirling Engine out of a paint can. When I woke up I thought, "Hey, that would work!" So I tried it. And it works! I have posted a couple of short videos on YouTube. Here are the links:

I took pictures of the building process and may post them on http://Stirlingbuilder.com if there is interest.

Looks good Jim, looks like you made all the parts balanced perfectly as it runs really smooth!
