How come we dont see very many of the Siemins / Rinia Stirling engines or for that matter many double acting cylinder stirlings ?

Shanex-2, the reason I don't build Siemens type motors is too much repartion, I would want 4. to 8 cylinders. I suppose its cost of materials that slows most people when it comes to building such motors, I try to build mine as cheaply as possible. Ian S C

I can understand that. I guess these would be more for high power output not just demonstration purposes.

We do have one siemens type motor built locally, Whispergen. That's just a wee bit beyond me though. Ian S C
