Make A Stirling Engine With Soda Cans
May 26, 2007
I happened across this fantastic article on building a homemade Stirling engine and thought it would be a great link to share. Complete plans for building your own working Stirling engine with a few soft drink cans, wire coat hanger, a washer, a balloon, an old CD and some other odds and ends:
SFA Stirling Engine Project (from Stephen F. Austin State University, TX)
This would be a great project for showing both kids and adults how this type of engine works. I’m going to try and get one going myself! There are lots of good video clips on the site as well.
What a brilliant and simple little design.
