Response to I give up
<t>Very interesting. Since you have built a model, then you have some idea on what to do. All you need is a good airtight seal and not get the power piston too big for the size displacer you are building. I guess you didn't make clear to some that you were putting another bottom in for the displacer...

Look on youtube. There are videos of Stirling fans and you can see them run. Stirling engines that produce power are very expensive and only work well for limited applications. Some are even solar powered.

Response to displacer/cylinder volume ratio
<t>The swept volume needs to be 1.5 to 2 times the swept volume of the power piston. It shouldn't take a rocket scientist to figure that a lot of power requires a lot of heat. There is no free lunch. Its the materials and quality of workmanship that determines a good engine from a bad one. For examp...
