Ok Makers, here’s a excerpt from MAKE 07 – The Two-Can Stirling Engine by William Gurstelle. The Stirling engine has long captivated inventors and dreamers. Here are complete plans for building and operating a two-cylinder model that runs on almost any high-temperature heat source. Page 90 – Link (PDF).
This PDF should show up in iTunes too (click here to subscribe). And… if you didn’t get MAKE 07 yet, here’s a link that will give you an additional $5 off (USD) subscription.
