Like many others, Kjeld was fascinated by the Stirling or hot air engine, wanted to build his own examples but couldn’t to any published designs, as he has no machine tools in his hobby room, and no space for them. Browsing on the internet he came across an idea for a Stirling engine which could be built without tools, developed the idea and built a running engine, followed by five other increasingly sophisticated machines which demonstrate the main types of Stirling engine, all built using only ordinary hand tools, an electric soldering iron and a gas blow-torch, from tin cans, wire coat hangers, old gloves, parts from scrap computers, gramaphones, video players etc. The basic idea isn’t completely new, but this is the first time such ideas have been available in book form. Here Kjeld describes how to build his first engine in some detail, and then how to construct the subsequent five engines, which largely develop from each other, in slightly less detail, but still plenty enough for you to build them. You won’t find any drawings in this book, as the measurements of your engines will depend on the dimensions of the scrap you use, notably the tin-can for the cylinder, but the derived dimensions are covered in the text, and there are numerous photographs of set-ups, parts and so on to guide you. Additionally there is a brief overview of the history of the Stirling engine, a fascinating look at some present commercial applications, and an Appendix of recommended reading, films and useful websites. 40 A4 format pages. 45 B & W photos and illustrations.

Throughout, the thermodynamic principles that underlie these devices are explained and illustrated by pressure-volume diagrams, charts and calculations. 106 large landscape format pages. Spiral bound with card covers.     £17.95 (P&P £ 2.45 ) Qty   HOT AIR CALORIC & STIRLING ENGINES Volume One — A HISTORY by Robert Sier A completely revised and expanded edition of 'A History of Hot Air and Caloric Engines'. The result is a very detailed history of machines powered by hot air, mostly Stirling cycle, but including hot air balloons, and smoke jacks etc. 331 pages, well illustrated. Hardbound.     £24.00 (P&P £ 4.90 ) Qty   I C ENGINES Vol.1 United States Patent Office Fourteen Unusual Engine Patents from 1881 through 1890.     £9.95 (P&P £ 1.60 ) Qty   MINIATURE RINGBOM ENGINES by James R. Senft This first ever book on miniature Ringbom engines is primarily a how-to book, focused on presenting information and ideas for making working engines. Detailed plans and instructions for making three different model Ringbom engines are at the core. These include a tiny engine that runs at high speed on a small flame , and a larger Ringbom which can run for hours on the thermal energy in a few cups of hot water. The book starts with the basic theory behind all Ringboms and finishes with an advanced engine design and a large collection of new engine ideas to explore.     £14.95 (P&P £ 1.60 ) Qty   MODEL STIRLING ENGINES by Rudy Kouhoupt Describes three small hot air engines, all parallel cylinder types, one vertical and air-cooled, one horizontal and air-cooled, the third horizontal and water-cooled, none requiring castings.     £16.50 (P&P £ 1.95 ) Qty   RIDER-ERICSSON HOT AIR PUMPING ENGINE CATALOGUE (1906)     £3.35 (P&P £ 1.20 ) Qty   RINGBOM STIRLING ENGINES by J. R. Senft Provides a highly technical treatment of the entire field of free displacer engines from the simple to the advanced and from small to large. It covers the development of all types of Stirling engines with special emphasis on the mechanism problem, describes the original Ringbom patent and its recent simple modification which transformed it into an engine capable of high speeds and rock-stable operation. The book shows how to use this foundation to design Ringboms to run on low or high temperature differentials and concludes with a chapter on engine ideas for further exploration. The book is well illustration and contains material not readily available elsewhere.     £35.95 (P&P £ 2.45 ) Qty   ROBERT STIRLING’S MODELS OF THE ‘AIR ENGINE’ by James Rizzo In this book well known authority on hot engines James Rizzo describes, in detail, two working engines built, before 1825 by Robert Stirling, inventor of the hot air engine, to demonstrate its principles. One engine was presented to the University of Edinburgh, and the other, slightly later, to the University of Glasgow. This book is an important and historic record of two unique survivors from the very earliest days of mechanisation, and a tremendous ‘project’ book, providing the engineer with full drawings and instructions to recreate these engines in either fullsize or model form.     £12.95 (P&P £ 2.45 ) Qty   STIRLING AND HOT AIR ENGINES by Roy Darlington and Keith Strong Provides an essential reference to engineers, teachers, students and hobbyists and aims to provide a thorough insight into designing and building Stirling and other hot air engines. Describes the design ethos and principles used and looks at the machining, workshop techniques and processes that go to build such engines. Roy Darlington is one of the world's foremost authorities on small stirling engines and this book will keep any potential Stirling engineer fascinated for hours.     £29.95 (P&P £ 4.90 ) Qty   THE IMPROVED RIDER AND ERICSSON HOT AIT PUMPING ENGINES     £3.95 (P&P £ 1.60 ) Qty   * Denotes a "Past Masters" title     ** Denotes an American publication   (C) Copyright Tee Publishing 2006 Terms & Conditions | Conditions of Use | Privacy/Data Protection VAT No - 328 0133 89     Registration No. - 04245481
