Double Acting Oscillating Engine
This is the engine I designed for my steam roller model.
It works realy well and I have now made 2 other variations,
basically the same engine but moving the regulator/reverser to another place. The third design has a flywheel on one side of the engine and a gear on the other so needs a different crankshaft.
I have prepared 6 sheets of plans and these are available in
PDF form free of charge.
If you would like a set email me myfordboy@gmail.com and I
will send them to you. Ask me for "The double acting engine plans"

Awesome. I love your videos because you *don't talk*. So many other videos have a person blathering on and then skipping all the process parts because "they are boring". Whereas your videos not only show what you are doing but also let the viewer get into the same zen-like trance state of silently working with your hands.
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff, love the cool calm atmosphere as you work, Brilliant!
ReplyDeletei love the work, i'd like to see more, also, i'm building my own flat 4, 2 stroke, have you done any work with fuse'n a harden steel cylender, in your castings,
ReplyDeleteI haven't used that set up but have used cast iron liners with both aluminium and cast iron pistons. both work well.
ReplyDeleteIndeed i am overwhelmed with your expertise from casting to machining, from woodwork to sand work and from cooking to videoing. Excellent job.
ReplyDeleteOn the more serious note, i praise God for your sacrifice in showing this secret to the public.I m considering adding casting to what i do now and your video is a motivation to me.Thanks and God bless. Would you like to make patterns for sale?
I am pleased to hear you enjoy my videos and have encouraged you to have a go at casting. I don't have the time to make patterns for others but can offer help if you need it.
ReplyDeletewhat makes me not succeeded by doing your motor are small issues and mistakes, it would be great as well to mention what are the wrong issues that people might do, so the project is not well done at the end..
ReplyDeleteFair comment, I have tried to give as much detail as I can but I can't realy predict what people may do wrong. Builders will have different levels of skill. I am always happy to answer any questions you have.
DeleteWonderfull. I Sent a request for the measures planes to your yahoo e-mail :D!
ReplyDeleteIm Jeffrey Axel and my mail jeffrey.itsu@gmail.com
Hi myfordboy,
ReplyDeleteI seen that in several small stirling engines there is added a counterweight in some point of the flywheel to compensate the displacer weight.
I think that this can be done by trial and error prior to link the diaphragm rod, and IMHO perhaps can be an improvement to your design.
Please send me the plans to attempt to build one of this little engines to: ppluis0@gmail.com
Thanks and Best Regards,
Jose
Hello Myfordboy,
ReplyDeleteI'm a first year mechanical engineering student from Brazil.
We're supposed to build a Stirling Motor. Could you help me sending the measures planes to my e-mail, paulohpgomes@gmail.com?
Ty in advance,

Dear Mr Fordboy,
ReplyDeleteI thoroughly enjoy all of your videos. I especially like how you show how to do things very methodically and with the perfect amount of commentary.
It is obvious you have a passion not only for metalworking- but sharing your skills. It is quite sad even for us in the developing world to see the Western world so quickly discard its manufacturing- even we have to compete with China!
Maybe it is also more sad as we see cities that once built the Titanic, the Clyde and Sheffield Steel and so on wither, and everyday people with skills and abilities suffer. Living in a developing nation- I can assure you poverty is a curse you would not wish on your worst enemy.
On a more happy view, I have learned much and I wanted to express my heartfelt gratitude at the time you take to enrich us all. You are literally an investment casting masterpiece!
I hope you have developed idiot and know-all immunity from the many stupidos who comment on Youtube.
Please continue to enrich us all as I am certain that there are thousands more appreciative viewers from every corner of the globe who are extremely grateful for your wisdom.
yours most humbly,
Purwo Wardhana of Jakarta, Indonesia

Hi Myford boy, I guess you have a Myford lathe, I also used to have one, a great machine! I still have other model making facilities but unfortinately I had to lose the Myford when I moved to Germany!
ReplyDeleteAs a fellow engineer, I must congratulate you on your ingenious model building tricks and mechanical expertise. Very well thought out and efficient. I also am in agreement with the majority of previous comments on your well thought out video.
I have requested a copy of your plans, thank you, and from what I see on your video, I should be able to make this one work. I made several attempts in the past at building a larger Stirling motor, but could never get one to run efficiently.
Thanks again Brian
Thanks for the comments Brian.
ReplyDeleteDid you get the plan OK ? I send out so many now I sometimes miss one.
can you send your Stirling engine plans to my mail address bellek2009@mynet.com
ReplyDeletethanks
hola myfordboy , me gusto mucho tu mnodelo de motor striling y me gustaira construir uno , te dejo mi email gonza11_goico@gmail.com , muchas gracias.
ReplyDeleteI have come across your vids as I was just thinking about when I worked in a small machine shop / foundry many years ago. It reminds me of when I used to watch Mr king making green sand moulds and shell moulds to produce small castings to be cast in cobalt magnetic alloy alcomax. I as we used to machine the castings (grinding) I can see you have considerable skill and make it look easy but I know it is not, just one wrong move and its back to square one. Even now you have shown me new things (making green sand). All can say is thanks for the memories and keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteHi guys,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this wonderful article really!
If someone want to know more about engine parts I think this is the right place for you!
You share the nice information about load bank testing & used generator sales.

Dear Hi Myford
ReplyDeleteCould you send the plans of hacksaw to my email please?

Thanks
How can I get the plans to make the crumble lifter and pourer?
ReplyDeleteThere was great miniature. Collecting model cars is a very interesting hobby that can consume a good deal of spare time and space if it is pursued properly. Let us imagine you just obtained a diecast model car that you have been longing for. What do you do? Isn't it obvious? You let everyone who shares your passion know of your recent acquisition. What would be the best way to do this? With an amazing, clear, up close photograph, of course. But wait, how do you accomplish this? Macro photography or more simply put, close-up photography. If you follow the simple steps laid out in this article, you too can have photographs that others will envy.
ReplyDeleteHow to cast a swag light fixture? I wish i could show with a picture. Thank you, how to hear from you soon
