Coke can Stirling generator 2 - Rebuild images

Why rebuild it ?

When I built the original it was designed to have a beer can for the displacer, but it collapsed.
I replaced this with a coke can which is much shorter than the beer can, I had to make the displacer
really short to accommodate the longer stroke that I had set up. The displacer is only about 1/3rd of
the height of it's cylinder instead of the recommended 2/3rds.

The whole water tank is extremely rusty, it's only a matter of time before it becomes a sieve rather than a water tank

Sorry there's no details to go with the pictures yet, but I'll update it soon. Here's the original page of the Stirling generator.
























**Yuk, sorry for the dodgy 16:9 photos! changed the camera setting for someting and forgot to change it back!**
