Stirling generator 2 working

This is a more reliable Stirling engine generator that I built. It has a graphite piston and a larger cooling tank, so it will run all day powering the radio. The displacer is steel wire wool. I haven't measure it properly yet, but I think that it's slightly more powerful than the first one I built. This one will just about run the radio on one candle, although it really struggles with the LED's using three candles. Pictures will be available soon on my site : http://sites.google.com/site/reukpower

Thanks Jim, it was fun building it! I'm already thinking about the next improved version!
