    This is so cool! I honestly didn’t know much about stirling engines before this class, and watching yours progress over the last few months has been so cool.

    I’m especially impressed with your incorporation of 3D printed parts- I think that’s such a cool contrast to bring to “old school” metal stirling engine models. I’d love to have something like this sitting on my desk!
