3D model description

Working LTD gamma-type Stirling engine. Need only the most basic of household items and tools.

-Paper clips: 50mm, (1mm diameter wire)
-Styrofoam: 60mm x60mm x 10mm

pdf instructions provided.
Included are instructions and plans to design your own flywheel.

I almost gave up designing this many times, as there were a ton of problems that needed to be solved. Those of you who are familiar with Stirling engines will know how tricky these things are:)
And with the materials and 3d printer limitations to work with, it seemed impossible.

Was stoked when I first got it working. After all the time and energy I spent on this, it finally worked. And so now I can present this design to whomever's interested to enjoy.
