Home Shop Built Stirling Cycle Hot Air Engine/Fan (not built by me)
« on: December 28, 2025, 04:43:08 pm »
I paid very little for this at auction. 

It had no flywheel or fan blades.

A friend gave me the fan blades.

I used a torch to heat it for a quick test.

Enjoy,

Gil

You may not think it is very "pretty" but I think it exudes a beauty that is quite charming to this observer!

Nice big fan blade that it had no problem turning at a good clip, so no doubt it was moving some air as it was intended to do .... VERY NICE!!!
