soda can stirling engine trouble
Posted: Fri Jan 06, 2017 8:35 pm
Hi guys,
I made a soda can stirling engine and it wont run (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_c7BGP94eHI). I made a few modifications to it: I used 2 CD's for the flywheel and balanced it, I also made the displacer out of balsa wood instead of steal wool because it was easier to fit and lighter.
I'm using a tea candle to heat it, when I spin it it makes at least 5 revolutions and I'm pretty sure it's not an air leak.
Thank you.
