<r>Here is one to add. Make sure your crank is properly phased. It's real easy to set connecting rods 90 degrees apart and then not take into account any angles you may have between your displacer and power piston. Ask me how I know this <E>:)</E> Don't just look at the crank connections, watch the ...

<t>I have made just one working Stirling and used about a 20 to 1 ratio (displacer to power cylinder volume) It was largely a guess and my goal was LTD. If your wanting more power, rpm and don't mind adding more heat than a candle then the ratio is about 1.5 to 1 with the dislpacer taking up two thi...
