am having difficulty with machining and am working on it. I bought over 7 miles. The stuff on ebay is the least useful to me. The stuff I'm not selling has a smaller diameter and heats/cools faster. Any help/suggestions are welcome. Larry
--Aha! Looks to me like a variation on the venerable Stirling engine. That means not a lot of torque, but a sealed system; i.e. all you need is an adequate delta-T between hot end and cold end. For Stirlings this number can be as low as, IIRC, 70degF . If you can narrow the delta-T further you might have something.
