A video from last year, apologies to those who have already seen it on the other Forum, although it may be worth watching again ?

Dave, I love what you did with your Stirling...very nice presentation and it works very well judging by the light being produced.

Well done!

That's quite a nice little set-up you have there Dave ... think I'd be causing my own power outages just to have an excuse to fire it up!

Enjoy that, I did!!!

Thanks guys for the positive feedback - these small Stirlings are I think pretty good value and although a little noisy they do perform very well!

That's very good, Dave. It"s seldom that I see a Stirling engine performing some real work.
