"Experiences & Tips" Stirling and Flame-Eater models

[Jan Ridders]

Hi all interested,
During the last 12 years I have designed and made several Stirling and Flame-Eater models. I have actualalized the the page "Experiences enTips" on my web site for these type of small engines and now I also translated that to my (school) English, see:

http://ridders.nu/Webpaginas/pagina_ervaringen_tips_happers/ervaringenhappers_frameset.htm
I do not pretend to have all the wisdom about this matter but maybe it could be useful information for novice modelers with little experience in this area.

Friendly greetings from Holland,
Jan Ridders

Got a stirling that tries to run but just not quite. When the weather warms up I'll try again . Thm:

Jan, I have looked at many of your models, they are jewels.

I marvel at your craftsmanship and hope, some day to make models as quality as you do.

Thank you, for what you have done for the modeling world.
