Alberto, looks like you have the disease, you know that Stirling Engines/ hot air engines are addictive. Good work, some nice looking motors. Ian S C

[alberto_55]

Exactly. Acquired the disease about a year ago, and now consider myself a chronically ill. Hi, Hi.
Thanks for your comments. Greetings from Spain

[Ian S C]

I caught it about 1990, and it doesn't go away. Ian S C, greetings, and a happy new year from New Zealand.

Alberto,

You MUST give us some background on these different engines! Please!!

The motors are alpha type and are constructed extracted from old computer hard drives, VCRs, power supplies materials. etc-
The pistons are constructed with glass syringes 2 cubic cm, cut with diamond blade and tucked into copper tubes, which are used for heating.
There is an excellent link of this engine in the following video and link, which I found to be very useful to me and they indicated below.
sorry for the language, my native language is not English and use a translator online.

A greeting.

No problem with your English, the translator is working well for you, better than some natural English speakers.
For a sample of my engines, have a look in my album. There is a fair cross section of my stuff there, only one ALPHA motor, it is of the Ross Yoke type, photo of it with a little(fully working), hacksaw. Ian S C

I congratulate you. Their engines are very robust. I guess it has to manufacture machine tools flywheels, etc.. and that offers many possibilities.
Yo. for now, I've only built the alpha system. Since I prefer to perfect before moving on to other systems, but can not wait to try other models, using recycled, especially for the flywheels materials.
Greetings and good health for the coming year.

Alberto, the Beta, and GAMMA motors, which are the more normal type to start on are easier to make as they have only one fitted piston, or a diaphragm, and the displacer does not have to be too accurate within reason. Ian S C
