www.greenpowerscience.com This is the best off the shelf DIY STIRLING ENGINE start we have come up with so far. This Stirling Engine has shown signs of successful operation. It also works excellent as a Steam Engine. I have another compressor that I am converting into a DC motor:-) These compressors cost about 0 on EBAY. Make sure you buy the compressor pump at a 90 degree angle. This based on the Alpha Stirling Design that you can find here: en.wikipedia.org
This is the actual working model of the cutaway series. The reversible cutaway model with stephenson valve gear working with the completely built cylinders. The cutaway cylinder in the other videos is visible on the table. This is just to prove to people that the engine will actually work when the cylinders are built just like in the demonstration model. This reversible engine uses everything seen in the three other videos except that the cylinders are finished. Thanks again to legokid900 for the reverse link dementions. This video was requested by RustyCarnahan and mindstormer398. Thanks for watching!

This is a better video of the air engine. This was the semester long project we did in class for Machine Tool Technology at the University of Central Missouri. I would like to hook the engine up to something and do tests. The base is made out of a 3/4 in thick aluminum and the body and cylinder is mild steel. The flywheel and crank is made out of brass. I used most tools that you would use with metals. Vertical mill, horizontal mill, metal lathe, drill press and grinding machine, thread tap. I even machined the threads on the wrist pin.
