Tom's Engine.
How about we discuss it here.
If you are so convinced it will work, please build it. Proving me wrong is the worst that could happen. Right?
I always enjoy seeing engines made different ways. Early in the Internet there was a site by a highschool teacher that showed off all the students invented and built 'steam' engines, (run on compressed air). There were many different configurations, similar to Darryl's tin can walking beam site (that is still around if you know where to look). I wish the steam engine site was still around.
I saw somewhere someone made an IC spark engine out of wood. It needed a much longer stroke to cool the expanding gas and cylinder. But just getting one to run at all was very amazing.
I keep looking for Stirling's made out of counter intuitive materials, like 55 gallon drums, concrete, refractory, massen jars, pop bottles, propane tanks, spray paint cans, milk cartons, 2 liter pop bottles, e.t.c...
This website started out that way in the 2000 otts. It has devolved into a soap box for one person and his misleading ideas of how gasses and classical theory works.
Please discuss what you need to build that engine. My first help, move the connecting shaft for the hot and cold sinks to the other side, the cold side. Cold seals and lubes are easier.
You laughed at my idea to wave the cold plate around in the cold gas to cool it. Bummer.
