I will post mine, when I get it built. I'm using a 100 mm skate wheel for a flywheel, and ether 2 10 cm syringes or a 100 cm for a displacer piston and a 20 cm for the power piston. I plan on putting magnets on the flywheel and some coils to make some power.

That's a neat engine! I wonder if some steel wool in the tube between the hot end and cold end would improve your power output.

Thanks. I'll look into that if I make another one since I no longer have this one.
