offers a line of kits that provide everything you need to build an attractive model using your mini lathe or mini mill. Our products include two cannons and four Stirling cycle heat engines. The model engines are fully functional. Our kits are available in three forms: material kits (material and drawings), assembly kits (fully machined parts ready for assembly), and fully assembled models..com
Note: The cannon cannot be fired, nor can it be reasonably modified so it can be fired. A pin goes through the barrel, and the barrel consists of multiple pieces. Field Cannon Solid brass model of a field cannon drawings. The Materials Kit does not include the wood base. The completed model is 6¾" long, 3¼" wide, and 2¾" tall. The base is 7 7 /8" long and 5 3 /8" wide. Materials Kit (2200) $44.95 $35.95 Fully Assembled (2210) $89.95 $79.95

Fuel for Stirling Engines Our Stirling hot air engines are designed to burn alcohol. WARNING: Do not use gasoline, white gas, Coleman fuel, or any other gasoline-type fuels in these engines. You can use any of these fuels: Pure methanol (such as HEET brand gas-line antifreeze or its generic equivalent) available in automotive supply stores Ethanol/methanol mixture ( denatured alcohol ) available in paint and hardware stores Pure ethanol (200 proof grain alcohol) available in liquor stores and pharmacy supply houses Materials Kit (2202) $89.95 $69.95 Assembly Kit (2206) $189.95 $149.95 Fully Assembled (2212) $199.95 $179.95 Walking Beam Stirling Engine Model of a walking beam Stirling cycle engine drawings. Because of the difficulty of making the cylinder, we provide assembled cylinders that can be used directly. The Materials Kit does not include the wood base. The Assembly Kit includes all the machined parts and drawings, and includes the wood base. The completed model is 8½" long, 3½" wide, 6½" tall. The base is 12¼" long, 6 3 /8" wide.

Working with Metric Dimensions The drawings included with our models show all dimensions in millimeters. Rather than converting all dimensions to inches, why not do what the rest of the world does: work in millimeters! To work comfortably in metric units, you'll need metric measuring tools. Start with an electronic digital caliper, which switches between display of inches and millimeters with the press of a button.
