Nicely running. I made one of the soda-can type stirlings a couple of years ago, but it didn’t run very well. I don’t think I had the drive shaft done properly. I reassembled the parts as a Newcomen Engine using a condom for the seal around the boiler and that did actually, albeit slowly. Wish I had taken pictures.
