• Pretty Good Book But Only Basic Stirling Engine Information

21 July, 2007

This book is simply the drawings for three small Stirling Engines. There is a nice beginners model and then two slightly more advanced versions. All are built from dimensional steel, aluminum, and brass. No castings required. There is no text on how the engines are built or perform and no theory presented. Just drawings for three small engines. The drawings are very clear and straight forward. A few of the drawings have helpful construction notes on them. I'd buy it if you kind of know how Stirling Engines work, but are a little weak on construction details, or are looking for some basic beginner models. I noticed that none of these engines have a regenerator in them so I would not expect much power from them. These all appear to be Gamma Style engines. The flywheel construction details and the crank shaft construction details were very interesting to me, and would be useful on more than just stirling engines. Both parts are built up from dimensional steel. No complex turning involved!
