MonkeyVR6 0 Posted August 9, 2008 Chaps, I'm bored - thought this might look cool above my TV. Your opinions are welcome. http://www.discoverthis.com/visible-v8.html Not sure if I'm going to buy this exact product, am trying to look for a V6. Cheers.

KIPVW 0 Posted August 9, 2008 YUP! Lol! only kidding! i love doing kits like this, just wish i had more time to do them but then they'd just clutter up the place after you finish them if you do loads so i guess theres no harm in one or two, love the caranking handle which turns the engine round :clap: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JMC 0 Posted August 9, 2008 Definately not a geek - anywhere to get these type of things in the UK, I fancy building one too :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The_Dude 0 Posted August 9, 2008 That's really cool, but 130 odd pieces! :pale: We need to find a euro company that does a V6, all the yanks care about is their 8s. I also like the coffee cup stirling engine, but I went to Wikipedia and the photo they have used is quite rude! :lol: 250px-BetaStirlingTG4web.jpg[/attachment:n8ogz937] Cut away diagram of a rhombic drive beta configuration Stirling engine design. Pink - Hot cylinder wall Dark grey - Cold cylinder wall (with coolant inlet and outlet pipes in yellow) Dark green - Thermal insulation separating the two cylinder ends Light green - Displacer piston Dark blue - Power piston Light blue - Linkage crank and flywheels Not shown: external heat-source, and external heat-sinks. In this design the displacer piston is constructed without a purpose built regenerator. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
