Does anyone have this engine?
That would be awesome if someone did. I would like as well.
That's awesome. Do want.

Their version appears to use the paper part basically for "engine" decoration; all the heavy duty stuff is plastic or metal.If anyone wants to try the same thing with paper and gets good results, of course let us know! That would definitely be amazing.
It seems possible, especially if you use the patterns to cut some thick cardboard and spray something on the paper to make it more steam-resistant.Anyone know a steam engine design that's simple enough to make out of paper and and able to run on the steam generated by a hot cup of tea?
>>86512Link doesn't work
>>86546It's a sterling engine by the look of it. You could make one with coated paper and wire, probably, but it wouldn't last long at all. Or work particularly well.It actually runs off a heat differential, not actual steam.
>>86800It does but it is "broken" in the middle. Here it is "unbroken":http://66.249.91.104/translate_c?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&langpair=de%7Cen&u=http://www.astromedia.de/shop/csc_fullview.php%3FArtikelnummer%3D228.STM%26VID%3DqK6TlQZxaOfDDOSY&prev=/language_tools
>>87187Well, it seems like the address is broken automatic by the system : /I did this:1) Copied the whole "broken" addres into Notepad2) Assembled the address to one line3) Copied the "unbroken" address to the internetbrowser
>>87188http://tinyurl.com/ is also quite useful when trying to share long URLs on 4Chan.http://66.249.91.104/translate_c?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&langpair=de%7Cen&u=http://www.astromedia.de/shop/csc_fullview.php%3FArtikelnummer%3D228.STM%26VID%3DqK6TlQZxaOfDDOSY&prev=/language_toolswill become http://tinyurl.com/2z49dg which is a little easier to copypasta into the adress bar.
I'm going to try to build one from scratch.The basic idea behind it is herehttp://auto.howstuffworks.com/stirling-engine2.htmI'm going to use thick paper and paperclips. However the main problem is that the steam from the cup of coffee is going to mess up the bottom of the engine. I think a layer of white glue should do the trick.Another problem is that it's supposed to be a closed system, i.e. a fixed amount of air inside. How can I isolate the inside from the outside while allowing the stems from the pistons to move freely?I'm open to suggestions. will it work if it's made out of paper?
S'up, /po/.http://tinyurl.com/ys8bsz
