I intend to prove even a small step to make an effort like this is possible if you have a positive attitude and actually do the leg work and sacrifice to make it a reality. I have made much more challenging machines so this is almost a done deal. My holiday project. A good concept sells itself and my support machinist and waterjet suppliers are the top in their field with skills on par with the best I have seen or bought in comparison to my BSA parts produced.
I will upload a better vid but wanted to show those who have helped from Holland, Sweden, USA, UK and Japan with free construction input in the stacking of the waterjet plates to equal 1/3rd of the displacer bore. 18mm of such shown below regenerator displacer screen & 2nd bush plate. I have 2 options on crankshaft under development and will tap and clean inner bore of these "disks" This will be an adjustable and variable stirling starting point for those new to the technology and hopefully we can get it to catch on and see some real advances towards alternative energy ideas including geo-thermal vent applications i.e. hot springs. Excellent progress on crank shaft, from old British motorbikes I have learned a few tricks in design and re-design i.e. forward-engineering to make things better.
FOOTNOTE: I have spherical (dome) hotcaps being machined and will have spares with bolt ready flange if developers, students and hobbyist want to buy them at low mark-up, turned from solid 304 or ?. Current run 33mm i.d x 66mm long, 37mm o.d. with spherical and cap all one piece CNC made.
