PStirling Engine

Feb 2022 — May 2022

As a Pappalardo Apprentice, I designed a Stirling engine that I fabricated with a mix of CNC and manual machining on the mill and lathe. It was an assembly with over a dozen parts, which I machined to have tolerances tight enough to enable the engine to spin at over 300 RPM.
