Found a nice power producing outboard beta stirling engine that was seen in this video. Found some dissassembly photos, too.

Re: found: outboard stirling boat motor pictures
I am still looking for measurements on this design.

Re: found: outboard stirling boat motor pictures
The efficiency of that engine is disappointing.
Re: found: outboard stirling boat motor pictures
I had previously posted the wrong data for this engine.....deleted it. Still searching for the right data.
V twin Alpha type Stirling engine powered outboard running at Bruny Island, Tasmania, Australia 2006. 160cc total displacement, unpressurized air working fluid, V twin for good balance.V twin Alpha type Stirling engine powered outboard running at Bruny Island, Tasmania, Australia 2006.
160cc total displacement, unpressurised air working fluid, V twin for good balance. Two, twin cylinder, Alpha type stirling engines mounted at 90 degrees to each other and sharing the same crankshaft. 180W @ 1800rpm,
fuel consumption: 300g LPG/h, speed: 2 knots on a 12-foot dinghy, total outboard mass 16kg. Start up fron cold, 1.5 minutes, Total running time to date 200 hours. ( Aug 2009)

Re: found: outboard stirling boat motor pictures
Here, directly from the horse's mouth
"The efficiency is 4% overall, gas in to power out. The heaters are folded and so can not cope with pressurization. Having aquired some design tools, I hope to modify and improve it."

Re: found: outboard stirling boat motor pictures
I like it for the design layout. That alone is enough for me. I don't intend to make an exact copy....I have enough projects on my hands. It's still a pretty engine. By the way, what's the bore and stroke?
