This is a hot air engine I designed and built from all scrap materials for my father's 83rd birthday more than a decade ago. It was meant to look somewhat like an old mill engine.

I cast the aluminum frames. The displacer and power cylinders featured zero connection deadspace, since they overlapped from opposite directions inside the massive aluminum heatsink. It featured a graphite piston.
