Engineers Emporium LK3 Stirling engine.
« on: January 11, 2023, 03:06:26 am »
Hi,

Yesterday I helped a friend put together a Stirling engine kit which he bought from the Engineers Emporium over twenty years ago.  The kit was well made, but the instructions could have been a lot better, having said that, when finally figured them out the engine started on the first try.



Take care Tony.

That is a cool engine Tony. Not really gonna say it was worth a twenty + year wait, but damn cool.
Have never seen a ring burner like that before. Kind of looks like it was designed in a mad scientist
lab.    "SPIN THE WHEEL IGOR"...... "Oh yeth mathter".
