home energy A video of my engine built by someone on the other side of the country using my Tin Can Stirling Engine Plans from comptune.com These plans offer more than just the design and diagrams. They explain the technique I use for making these small projects out of metal. Stirling engines are easy to build. I built my first engine while sick in bed. Most plans require a machine shop. These plans can be put together in just a few hours using simple hand tools. It took me a lot longer to write the plans than it did to build it! As a kid, I once thought "Sterling" was the correct spelling but I later learned that these engines are named after Robert Sterling, a clever clergyman in the 1800's, who added a "regenerator" to a regular heat engine to improve efficiency. Today, with modern materials, Stirling engines are getting another look because of their ability to use any heat / cold source for power! I have run them on liquid nitrogen as well as ice.energy saving tips
