Re: This is my first beta stirling engine !!

I can't seem to get my head around how that elegantly machined crankshaft works-- it looks like one piece has to go thru itself!?

(Obviously not.) Do you have closeups of that particular bit?

Lovely work.

Re: "Hi...We are new here!" First posts here (or anywhere is OK)

Hiya. Working on my first stirling, making many mistakes, learning. ;)

Wondered: is trying to use a corrugated-sided tin can immediately a non-starter? Considering the slop allowed around the displacer, I didn't think it would make a fatal difference, but maybe I'm wrong.

Thanks!
