Striling Engine Ideas for 2010
Posted: May 5, 2009
1.  Considering having no ring stand.
2.  Use a hot plate or stove instead of a flame. 
3.  Use JB Weld only on the displacer and both ends of the copper tube.
4.  Use electrical tape as a temporary seal for the pressure vessel top and crankshaft supports.
5.  Use a Lowes yard flag instead of a needle for the displacer rod and crankshaft.
6.  Use the fingers from rubber gloves or smaller balloons than are fitted loosely and expand only upward.

Hello Engineers,
 
I will be available for advising on Tuesday afternoon in room 322E.  You will want to make sure that you are in a Math course this semester to ensure that you are progressing toward your degree.
 
The text for EGR112 is the 2nd edition of Foundations of Engineering. Links with ISBN numbers are given above. You will also need a calculator for the course.
 
 
See you soon,
Dr. B
