Model Forum / General / Models / March 2005ltd Stirling engine
A long shot I know, but does anyone have any plans for building a ltd Stirling engine which uses a Ross yoke? TIA. >A long shot I know, but does anyone have any plans for building a ltd >Stirling engine which uses a Ross yoke? >TIA. I think the Ross yoke will have a bit more friction than you want in an LTD engine. Possibly it would work if the crank pin was fitted with a tiny ballrace which ran in the yoke. It would have to be a loose fit in the yoke (which would have to have a smooth inner surface) and run around it like a racetrack. If I wanted to build one I'd take a normal design (there's at least one online) and adapt as above. - Brian >>A long shot I know, but does anyone have any plans for building a ltd >>Stirling engine which uses a Ross yoke?

I happened to see one using the Ross yoke on 'local heroes' and really like the movement. >>>A long shot I know, but does anyone have any plans for building a ltd >>>Stirling engine which uses a Ross yoke? >> If I wanted to build one I'd take a normal design (there's at least one >> online) and adapt as above. > >Cheers Brian, yes, I found a normal design. >I happened to see one using the Ross yoke on 'local heroes' and really like >the movement. oops, I apparently misread "Ross yoke" as "Scotch yoke" ... ah well, Ross-shire is the nearest bit of Scottish mainland so it's an understandable mistake. - Brian An article appeared in Model Engineer in the mid '90's for an LTD with Ross linkage. Mine worked well but friction has to be at a minimum. >>A long shot I know, but does anyone have any plans for building a ltd >>Stirling engine which uses a Ross yoke? >>TIA. |
