Engine Stirling in KIT of type(chap) gamma.
Conception(Design) and realization of the presented kit: Alain Ducros
The kit allows to realize an eng...ine playful Stirling on the principle of a lego consisted mainly of printed rooms(parts,plays), recovery(recycling) of classic food boxes and of some common(current) rooms(parts,plays) of hardware store(hardware).
Peculiarity of the kit:
- The assembly is not congealed in a dimension(size), it adapts itself to the food boxes, with various variants of assembly according to its choices and diverse recoveries(recyclings).
- Under set(group) brace and steering wheel of slowness is adjustable, we can choose the running(race) of the piston(valve) according to the collected box.
- The steering wheel of slowness is adjustable by weighty addition.
- The arm of crank is adjustable by sliding "crankpins" or locations of fixations(bindings) following a motionless step.
- Flask superior(higher education) of the brace allows to receive several diameters of axis and to make an assembly(editing) with or without rotation.
- The complete set(group) is assembled by several thread stalks which position in various positions of holes or elongated according to the diameter of boxes.
It concepts allows to make tests and to adapt itself to the collected material but he remains delicate to start: it is necessary to assure a minimum of constraints and a perfect waterproofness.
Here, rooms are in PLA or ABS and the piston déplaceur is cloth abrasive, thus the contribution of energy limits itself to some flames of candle.

For a realization I recommend the Kit 2 which is easier to start: https://www.youmagine.com/designs/moteur-stirling-gamma-kit-2-stirling-engine
He can be interesting to see both documentations in the size(format) PDF whatever is the realized Kit.
