80 Years of Research at the Philips Natuurkundig Laboratorium (1914-1994): The Role of the Nat.Lab. at Philips

For anyone interested in the Philips Stirling research this is an extremely worthwhile read, and although its stated as only a google books preview,
it is fairly comprehensive and seems to contain most of the significant information from within the book regarding Stirling engines (section 6.1) minus a few images...
It's more an overview of the Stirling's evolution at Philips than it is a technical explanation of the engine.
There's about 12 pages on their stirling engine research.. enjoy..

Thank you again for your research vamoose!
I think i'm going to download most of the books to read them in my coming holiday! Nice stuff to read on an evening!

This site shows you how to build a poor man's dynamic balancer for anything you should need to balance. Having a engine out of balance can really can rob you of potential power output, so here's the link. http://www.antiqueautoranch.com/montana ... page4.html

This is a link to NASA's "Stirling Engine Design Manual" PDF file. Worth a read for anyone who wants to understand stirling engines. What works and what doesn't.

This is a link to a "amateur work" vintage magazine on the construction of a hot air engine with 2.5 inch diameter pistons. The blueprint is shown as well with dimensions in inches. The title is "a hot air engine", and is worth a look.

I found Andy Ross' book 'Making Stirling Engines' Available here: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_t-6mP ... edit?pli=1:

found a $120 dynamic balancer. uses stroboscopic method of balancing and uses an accelerometer to detect vibration and phase detection.

Making my first Stirling for a school project. Grateful for anyone who could take this quick survey:

Hello to all! My friends and I make small batches of physical toys. Including we have several working models of the Stirling engine, different types and working assembly drawings of 8 models of Stirling engines. Our products and drawings can be viewed on ETSY.
Shop: PhysicsToysKit
The range of products and drawings in the stage of filling.
If you have any questions about our models of Stirling engines or drawings - ask on the forum.

Does anyone have Ross 25cc stirling engine datasheet or know where I can find? I am making an article about Andy Ross stirling engine such as Ford 4-215 and the series Ross Yok such Ross 25cc, Ross60, Ross 90. If anyone has, please, tell me.
Thanks

He has a simplified valving arrangement for Flame Licker engines which eliminates any fancy cams, linkages and levers.
The owner, Jan Ridders is a first class model maker. His site is at:

That was posted 2006, so, yeah, unfortunately the forum owner passed away and there are a lot of broken links throughout the forum,.... as it drifts off into limbo.

You can still find a lot of these old sites on the Wayback Archive, though the sites can often be incomplete and/or somewhat dysfunctional in modern browsers.

Here is an archived copy of that site anyway.

Sorry, it wasn't meant as a criticism, just an observation: it was the first place on the forum that I looked at, and it was a link that didn't work.

unfortunately the forum owner passed away...

I'm sorry to hear that.
Was he the same chap behind the Stirling engine company? I read that he'd died, but before he went, he made a statement to the effect that the world should pick it the project and run with it.

I take it from this post that you are in charge?
Do you want some help to tidy the place up?

No, I'm not in charge of anything here. I created a new forum.

That post relates to the new forum as the title indicates.
