A Trio of Simple Stirling Cycle Engines
« on: February 19, 2020, 10:26:12 am »
I purchased all three of these Stirling Cycle Engines several years ago and had not run them in more than a year.

Last week I cleaned them up and then ran them a couple times.

I really enjoyed watching the three of them running together and it inspired me to film, edit and publish this short video.

Nice display, looks like you got a jar moonshine to make things in the room spin.

 I went to re-watch your video directly from youtube and searched "trio stirling engines" and discovered you are a member of a "cult"

It is Grain Alcohol. My fuel of choice for Meths Burners. 🤠

The Moonshine is at my Ranch in the Cabin.

Thanks Nick.

And cheap fun. I paid less than $100 for the three engines. The two burners cost almost as much as the three engines.

That’s Funny Len.

 Just illuminates my lack of creativity in coming up with the title for the video. 🤠
