Build a simple but effective Stirling engine with soda cans

I'm going to build one of these bad boys next week when I get some time.

Neat!!!

I bet it would take some time to get the engine to run well... balance and fit is very important with sterling engines.

Edit: lol, most people here probably don't even know what a sterling engine or the sterling cycle is.

Wow, who pissed in your cheerios thismorning? :roll:

Well it's up and running, not the fastest,smoothest running engine I ever built but it does run 🙂

Tried running on a hot cup of coffee, still too inefficiant from excessive friction but she cranks when fired from a can of sterno.

Thinking about machining a real one from aluminum bar stock and using real bearings.

You might be better off if this was posted in the Highly Technical forums.

A real geek would be too lazy to do it if they aren't getting a grade or it doesn't get them +3FPS.
