gamma not needing crankshaft

Post by fullofhotair »

After looking at dreisotech new stirling engine design I got this idea. It’s a gamma using just the flywheel and eliminating the crankshaft. I don’t know about the rest of you but the crankshaft is the hardest part of making an engine for me. My first idea was to have 2 connected wheels on each side of a vertical support. One timing the power piston and other timing the displacer. I still want to try it but dreisotech gave me another idea. One flywheel linked to the power piston. A miniature offset walking beam connecting the displacer to the power piston.
