Hello all. I've been wanting to build a Stirling engine at home out of parts that i could easily afford/scrounge up. Not one of those small ones that you hold in your hand, but one that could generate some real work. Enough to run a small generator maybe. The problem is that i have absolutely no idea where to start. I was thinking about making one out of some small RC car/plane engines(combustion engines), or even a lawn mower engine, but i don't not know if i could convert one. Any help would be appreciated.
