More thanks, now I fixing some troubles with bearings and flywheel, use the available materials and possibility of accuracy.

Sameman, you need to find old VHS tape machines, or similar, pull to bits, and salvage the bits, you'll find little ball bearing races, or if your motor is a little bigger, roller skate/skate board wheel bearings are cheap, The stove top fan in my gallery uses them. Ian S C

Hi,i´m new here.I come to this forum,because i like stirling motors,and i´m working in my first one,and i want to learn all about these machines from the experts.
Thanks to all.
PD.Excuse my english.

Hi, now I am the new guy! I am from New Zealand and looking at ideas for something interesting to make in my workshop and a Stirling engine would fit the bill!

Welcome aboard John, good to see another Kiwi on the site, tell us a bit about your workshop when you come up with an idea of what you might like to have a go at, nothing is impossible, some things are just a bit difficult, with a bit of luck, someone here will be able to help. Ian S C

Hi Ian, did I meet you on another site? I am at Ashburton and the workshop has everything I should need to keep me busy in retirement but I seem to spend all my time working/playing at the aviation museum.

I hope to build a V type alpha standing on a wood burning stove, I am thinking that if I make it bigger the challenges will be less ? Something like 75mm or more bores.

Thought it was the same bloke. My latest problem comes from Ashburton. A friend has asked me to see if someone wants to buy parts of 2 steam locos, one is Simplex, a 5" gauge 0 6 0 tank loco, the other is a 3 1/2" gauge. Its just parts, but most of the copper for the 2 boilers is there.
You kidding, I don't think you'll get less probems, just won't be so much watch making involved. Ian S C

I am sorry if Ashburton is sending you problems! What is the status of those boilers, is either of them suitable for use in other than a loco?

So you dont think a big Stirling is easier than a tiny one? It must at least be easier to alter the bigger one. Right now I am trying to figure out how to enhance heat transfer at the hot end (cold end too).

Hello To everybody on the forum.

I live in Australia North NSW.

I am interested in Stirling engines and are looking to make one myself.
I am in the process of obtaining some books on the subject and looking for plans for a model
which would be a bit larger than hand size, I have seen some large size engines on this site
which interest me.

I do like things going on with engines EG; Exposed cranks, moving shafts, gears, cogs, flywheels etc.

All the best to everyone.

Hello, I am a real person. I'm interested in making a simple soda can gamma-type Stirling engine, so I found this forum.

Cheers!

Hello all,

New guy from North Alabama here. Stirling model engine fan and builder. I am currently building a little Stirling engine designed by Frank Arbeiter, Germany. I'll put pictures in a few days after I get the first part completed. You can find one on YouTube built by a friend of mine.

I hope to see this forum take off! While I enjoy model engines... the other forums have too much non-Stirling for me (that's my only modeling interest).

Hope every one has a good week.
