Re: Tin can engine almost runs

Plastic, not so good when the unit heats up. Might be OK at the very first. These engines are very fussy about friction. That is, all the joints and moving part have to be "loose", very loose. If the parts fit too tight, it will not work. This is the reason most of the engines don't work r...

Re: Eleven Stirling Engine Projects You Can Build

I never had any reason to believe you would violate my copyrighted "plans", I don't think you would do that.

It is not the question I raised. These "designs" go way back, before you and I were born (most of them anyways).

It's OK, I'm just being picky is all. :cool:

Re: My opinion to develop the forum.

If the forum had say 10 times the usage it has (meaning post), dividing the forum into sections may make sense. However with this forum, most of the post would not be seen if the forums were divided into smaller sections (other main categories). On any forums, the "main forum" gets all the...
