I would like to start by saying I am not trying to offend you, or anyone else, I just want to correct the notion that these are Stirling Cycle engines, which they are not, they are in fact hot air engines. The Stirling Cycle requires a regenerator. That is what Reverend Stirling was granted the patent for. He did not invent the hot air engine, He improved it by adding a regenerator into the mechanism. I know vendors sell these various engines under the guise of it being a Stirling engine. It's just marketing. Anyway, they are still very cool, and I like both types having been designing and building for over 30 years. Build your own, you wont regret it!🙂
@@fitang1 I promise, if you ever build your own you will likely do as I did and empty my small savings account to buy machine tools! The scrap piles were huge at first! The satisfaction is undeniable! My 22cubic inch twin Beta is my best so far. It's based off of a "York" AC compressor block used on cars.
Beautiful engines thank tou for shsring
i have that smaller one , runs great, but the more complex one is very cool
nice work
