      A first image from a Stirling engine, a combined clay render and some sketchy lines...

      (Edit: changed image πŸ˜’ )

      I will create a colored version and share here later (if you like).

        I'd vote to see a color render for sure... cool pic! Maybe also add a shot of the plain clay render?

            Thanks! There's something aesthetically pleasing about a simple clay render, though the version with lines looks good as well. Sorry that I can't critique your model, as I don't know anything about this engine. But I like models/renders of mechanical objects like this because it forces me to imagine how the bloody thing works!

                    Really nice modeling and render πŸ‘

                    Had no idea what a Stirling Engine was until I googled it. Interesting.

                    One question - while I found several models that were similar to yours, they all had "arms" attached to both "pistons" and "wheels" (I'm sure my terminology isn't correct but you get the idea). Will yours work the way it is built? Just curious

                      They are here too. Here is another view:

                      I used this one as a reference.

                            hello, I'm in process of manufacturing an alpha stirling engine, I have some questions, is there any one to be professional at stirling and help me? I made this one, but unfortunately it does not work, every things seems to be correct, but I don't know the reason, could any one help me?
