This is a blog where we study and develop several models of engines that everybody can make. Our goal is to create a ceramic stirling engine.But in the meantime we see another alternatives for to make at home. All is a question of the tools you have, but the most part of the models can make it with the typical tools and very cheaply, generally almost all the drawings are free.So enjoy and have fun with it!

The Starter Model: Stirling Engine SFA.
This is a very simple model you can build with very little budget, made it with cans, it's all a challenge for new people that require a lot of patience.
Here are the drawings for the machine
And the page of the author where you find a lot of information, videos...here
Nice project with SFA
Other page in Spanish with several modifications:

SFA stirling engine of several cylinders
The pringles version...
An older design.
The engine of this case remind us the 18th century. Very simple and funny is a chance you can't leave to escape.
Don't thinking more! build it with these drawings and for more information, visit the page of the author.
LTD engine.
This is an appliance that can runs with the warm of your hand!.

Why a stirling engine?
Steps for to build one.
Sympathetic video.
And another example.
This is the link for a Youtube channel from USA, where all the tricks for to work with accurate are explained, there are 19 videos and it is recommendable to see all because you be later amazed with the technique and the funny machine obtained. Essential link for begginers.
Go to the first video here.The channel of Muddy.
Cheap stirling engines.
Continuing with the low cost of engines these models are the best step for to know Stirling engines.
The link have several engines for to build, beta and gamma types!!!

Walking beam Engine.

Nice engine made it with cardboard pieces. It have a good-looking from the past centuries.
Beta Stirling Engine.
Sympathetic model for to build in our house with reciclying materials. With a lot of options for to enjoy.
Look it here.
Horizontal Stirling Engine.
Other example of how to make a machine with cans, very easy, althought is more exact to call it like a "V" engine. All that you need is several cans, special glue and another old appliance whereby you can get some useful part.
Here is the link, in Spanish but very intuitive..

another design more little...
small version with glass tubes.
The Free Piston Engine. (BEALE)
All a risk. A engine where the displacer is not linked to the power piston and a proposal for the
engines of the future.

Ceramic Stirling Engine.
Today is just a try for to make at home with domestic materials. In this page we would like to finish a model where you can make it and put on running. For the moment the page is in construction and with the next months we continue adding more information of how to build it.

Syringe and glass engine
Easy and glamorous engine from China, the engine runs very well and very stable.
Here is the link.
and a video demonstration.
Cardboard Stirling Engine.
An example how to build an engine with alternative materials, in this case with cardboard, the photos and the video show a vision for to build one. Recommended for people with some of experience.
Other Models.
In this section we show you models that very suitable for to build, if you have a lathe, milling machine and so either a big workshop or both.
From Japan, a Gamma engine very popular.
A site with several plans and descriptions.
Complete page with drawings but they are of pay.

Fantastic drawings from Germany!!
Here is the smallest and cheapest engine that you can build, however to find the graphite piston could be a trouble, anyway good luck!.

ResponderEliminar🔴 What Is Islam? ⚠️
ResponderEliminar🔴 Islam is not just another religion.
🔵 It is the same message preached by Moses, Jesus and Abraham.
🔴 Islam literally means ‘submission to God’ and it teaches us to have a direct relationship with God.
🔵 It reminds us that since God created us, no one should be worshipped except God alone.
🔴 It also teaches that God is nothing like a human being or like anything that we can imagine.
🌍 The concept of God is summarized in the Quran as:
📖 { “Say, He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He does not give birth, nor was He born, and there is nothing like Him.”} (Quran 112:1-4)[4] 📚
🔴 Becoming a Muslim is not turning your back to Jesus.
🔵 Rather it’s going back to the original teachings of Jesus and obeying him.
