Who are these strange fellows?

Manbench Industries; Purveyors of general mayhem since 1994, a blog to follow the crazed, possibly deranged projects and emotive musings, of an undergraduate engineer, and an apprentice organ builder who have always felt they were born in the wrong age. Follow us as we, re-write history, learn lost skills, discover strange new worlds, break things, rant at things, mend things, make new things and generally find ways of passing the day instead of doing "proper work" !

Open Day Hot Air Engines

One of the reasons of the lack of updates on here was the work on the Stirling engine for my university design module. I had a few problems with getting it to run properly, and ran out of time for tweaking at the end, so decided to fit an electric motor. As well as the main engine, I decided to make a cut away version as shown on the left showing the basic operation of a Stirling engine.

The two models won the £50 cash prize as voted for by the 30 odd other groups on the same course!



The Engineer.
