Jan Ridders’ Engines

Compilation Jan Ridders engines

Jan Ridders is a talented machinist and prolific designer of model Stirling, flame-eater and internal combustion engines. As you can see from the video he has some good-looking and nice-running designs. You can build them if you want because he generously shares his plans for free. All you have to do is send him an email request.

Jan has a web site that is in both English and Dutch. He can frequently be found on the Barstockengines discussion group and he has many more videos that you can watch.

    • Pete, Jan reads/writes very good English and he will send you whatever plans you would like. Just go to his web site, look at his designs and then send an email request to:
      “jan_DOT_ridders_AT_tscali_DOT_nl”.

      If you need a recommendation or any other kind of help then try asking the Barstockengines group. They don’t usually have a lot of message traffic but there are some good folks there who will try to help you.

      I only have plans for a couple of Jan’s Stirling engines.
