Product Description

Product Description
Demonstrates how to design, build and optimize Stirling engines. A broad selection of engines are described, giving valuable insight into the many different types of hot air engines, and a great deal of information relating to the manufacture of these engines is included. This is both relevant to beginner and professional.

From the Author
We have written this book with the model engineer in mind. We have not forgotten that you dont have to ba amodel engineer to read and benefit from the information we have provided. We have tried to show the variety of engines that Roy has designed and built over the year. We have also focussed on the techniques and workshop practices, that have lead to the professionalism that goes into making one of Roy's engines. We hope that you will gain as much enjoyment from reading the book as we have had in writing it.Roy & Keith

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb book, 25 Sep 2005
By Steve Taylor "steveastro" (Manchester UK) - See all my reviews
  
This is one of the finest books on making small, experimental Stirling engines I have seen, from the excellent colour photography to the detailed drawings of all the components, lovingly executed in AutoCad, its superb from cover to cover. All the design drawings come with accurate tolerancing too, eliminating the usual guess work that is found in model engineering plans and books.

Ray Darlington is the Doyen of small scale stirling engine work, and his approach is very straightforward.

Well worth the money.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very inspiring book, 21 Mar 2007
By Waldemar Gurgul - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Sharing the same opinion I would only add there are many very useful remarks concerning performance of the different types of engines and solutions. One is immediately stimulated to try his hand building one of these fascinating little engines which turns out not to be too difficult.

One word of caution for continental readers: there is a most unexpected mix of metric and imperial dimensions in the attached set of plans. General dimensions are metric but some shafts, ball bearings, holes or threading are imperial forcing builders to prepare themselves both mentally and materially to tackle or redimension the drawings.

Still, highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars A novice reader, 18 May 2008
Just browsing through the book you are inspired of the enthusiastic spirit of the writers. The level of craftsmanship demonstrated is exquisite, as is the photographic material and the drawings. There is plenty of information on how to build an engine. Of course it assumes that the reader has access to workshop tools and that he has basic skills. I would like to see more in the theory of operation of the Stirling machine, as just one chapter is devoted to the subject. However, all material drives you to start building your own machines and hands-on experience is a good way to cover this lack. As it says in the title, this book is mainly a summary of the building techniques and variations available, but it does not cover the engineering aspect of these engines.
