Gots the plans for the license free version. Time to start tracking down materials. Probably start on it next month. Been procrastinating here in Citra, gots to get back to Panama City where all the tools are first.

Looks to me like it would vibrate like heck when it got any speed up with that offset cranking mechanism .

Thought about something like that (but with a conventional steam engine) to turn solar heat into electrical energy, but think I like the idea of a solar powered Stirling engine generator better. No water or boiler.
