I got my coke can Stirling to generate some power
Here it is:
It's only producing around 25mw but I found the rectifiers are wired badly
so I think theres room for improvement. I'm going to swap the diodes for some low voltage drop
schottkeys which might give a little more power. The fuel source is the three tea lights you see in the photo
Heres a youtube video:
