Performace is the same with either construction. Obviously the can gets hot but no risk of fire unless you knock the burner over. Will run well on an electric ring also.
For the engine to work you need a hot end and a cold end. With a jar the whole jar would heat up and it would not run. Engines like this with glass sides always have a metal top and bottom.
does it spin faster with a wood displacer or cardboard? and does it get too hot? with wood or carboard inside is there any risk of fir or am i worrying too much want to make some for friends but dont want to burn houses down. great videos really wanna make one.
can you use a glass jar. im pretty sure it can stand the heat if youre just going to run it for a short time. it would be nice to see the insides in operation.
i like that part where you put a back to back tape to hold a template. others would have just pressed on it with their finger. By the way, how tight should the piston ( displacer ) be to the cylinder? thanks
The original design used Balsa wood for the displacer but some builders said they could not get it so this alternative was given. It must be as light as possible .
No, it won't: I have an engine with a styrofoam displacer here and even the foil is not needed at all. By the way, my congratulations with your beautiful vids.
As with your previous video, very nicely done and very nicely made video. Thanks!

Thank you for your kind comments.
There is a gap of 4.5 mm all around the displacer.( Displacer is 9mm smaller than the tin)
The material list is shown on the build instructions at myfordboy.blogspot.com
Thankyou :)
oh, okay. i m just starting to learn this device. thanks for the info
The displacer does not need to be airtight. You couls also make a "transferator", which is open on one side, like a cup.
it needs to be airtight in this design.
@@myfordboy balsa and carboard aren't airtight either..
Another Video! YAY!

@Accord21074 I think the heat would melt the foam.
Do you mean the tin lid? If so it comes with the tin.

Brilliant!

excelente trabajo me gustaria hacer uno similar
Good job bro Can I use light weight wood for making displacer piston ???

May be used styrofoam with foil is simpler ?

By the way, my congratulations with your beautiful vids.
can u please give me all the things to need to make that stirling engine
how do I make a lid for that container?
I need your email to be able to send it to you. Visit myfordboy.blogspot.com for details
