"Vintage" Stirling Cycle Engine        11/29/2004

"Vintage" is a water cooled stirling cycle engine that I designed a few weeks ago with the idea of using it as a heat source for my Miser engines at the shows. It has a belt driven pump to circulate the warm cooling water to warmer rings that the Misers sit on and the running Misers serve as cooling "radiators" for the Vintage engine.

I made the preliminary concept drawing the first week of November 2004 and the engine ran the first time "right out of the box" on Nov. 18th.
