Do any of you guys know if the little BernzoMatic type, and the stubby

Clare, sounds like a nice sized Stirling. Is this a hobby engine or?
Bill.
Hobby engine. 1 lb BernzoMatic type cyl for the expander, with a 355ml
Canadian aluminum pop can for a displacer.
Power piston is 29mm. Stroke can be up to 95mm, will likely be less,
but the dash-pot cyl I'm using is that size.

Need to find a decent flywheel - likely about 8 inches or 180mm, more
or less. I have some ball-end linkages (10-32 thread) that I will
likely use to articulate the connecting rods and connect to the
flywheel.

Will likely use a propane burner.
