Let's Build Model Stirling Engines


To Japanese Page


If you have some machine tools and know how to use them, you can easily build model Stirling engines. Here are links to other pages with plans for easily constructed Stirling engines and the instructions for their assembly.

Let's build a Can Stirling Engine

This engine can be built with very simple materials--no machine tools required.

Let's build a Model Stirling Engine 'LSE-01'

This engine is a two-piston type Stirling engine. Its top speed is about 3000 rpm.

Let's build a Model Stirling Engine 'TSE-03'

You must make a few parts for this engine. If you know machine tools well, you can make this engine in about 1 hour.

Plans for a Rotary Displacer Type Stirling Engine

Plans for this prototype engine.

Let's build a Model Stirling Engine 'ESE-10'

Sorry, but I am still preparing the figures that show the plans for this engine.

This page shows several photographs how to cut the glass syringe.

How to get a glass syringe

Where can you get the glass syringe? This page answers this question.
