I dont understand how its a stirling engine but at MIT i made one a long time ago and it supposed to be theoretically efficient that even if you put it over your tea cup it will want to start up ofcourse the sliding friction is the main reason why stirling engines cannot even start on their own and no one should practically use a stirling engine due to a myriad of other engineering problems even Cardinal (Clergyman) Stirling the original inventor lost money while some guy called James Watt made a lot of money and also aquired fame.

Need add just autimatic greasing

just imagine living next to this mad scientist....it would be awesome 😁

I like your sense of humor. He designed everything precisely. It's nice to see such work. Good luck in your further work

Yay Shane! Cheers from Florida. Chuck.

Nice! excited to see the newest iteration!!!

I need to start thinking about square connections of laser-cut sheets too.

Cool assembly music! No reference for that tho.

😢

Your builds are incredible-love the attention to detail! Would you mind sharing a rough estimate of the costs for the laser-cut parts? Thanks from Germany!

Good on you mate! Thanks for sharing

Cant wait for the next video!

Looking good Shane !!!

Wicked & bad love it

Hmm maybe add a pump for water and couple it with the big wheel shaft for more effciency and power Maybe next time you should try the free piston vetsion, or even the thermoacoustic ones they have more efficiency than those with classic crankshaft ( less friction, no need for bearings )

Beautiful

judging by the watt meter I would say that the belt is slipping on the alternator. The watts drop to zero at times.

lets see what happens when you mist that radiator with water!

Well, it's certainly not subtle. 😂

Is he stuffing it with coal?

I kinda get the "convenience" of having the hot cylinder right against the cold cylinder like that. Short pipes and all that. I think you ought to consider separating them sometime. Leave the hot cylinder where it is. Then turn the cold cylinder 90 degrees so that it is straight down under the bottom. then put the cold cylinder in a bucket of ice water. This should stop the bleeding of heat from the hot head to the cold head. sinking it into a bucket like a 5 gallon bucket of water will cool the cold head a lot more and increase your overall power.

I want to build a 30kw stirling engine, can you help me

Dear friend I like your job and passion. I also work on biomass gas production and use the gas for electricity generation

Is that alpha or gamma-type of Stirling?

What kind of welder did you use?

клас

Interesting concept. Very nice work. I would like to see this engine.

Im not sure how i missed this new train series ! ive got a machine shop on the west coast of canada. If you need any parts machined id love to help you out ! you pay shipping and ill make the parts. send me a message ! im very excited to see how you get on with this one. Take care

Zrobiłeś kawał porządnej roboty

Здравствуйте. Давно Вас не видел . Очень рад . Скажите по какой цене вы покупаете металл . У нас в Казахстане металл высокого качества и не дорого .... Проект интересный мне нравится . Алматы.

How many Fs are there in month??

Shane, I'm impressed - I love how your Bell Crank design accommodates the line of force - It's a Victorian looking work of art - Some programs do stress analysis & pretty colours to show pressures - they would tell you what you already know! - I looked on e bay after your last post and saw lots of Titanium tubes - I am a fan of this material only a little heavier than aluminium alloy but stronger than steel - if you have a tig welder you could produce featherweight connecting rods - I wonder if you could spin obtuse cone backings for your diaphragm bodies instead of fragile plaster pockets? Happy New Year!

This doesn't work bogus video

Hi Shane. Just worried about having a heavy flywheel that tall above the track surface might make the engine's center of gravity so high that it becomes tipsy around bends on the track. Merry Christmas Shane and Family! - Chuck in Florida.

Power?

Interesting. Well done.

Brilliant.

Using the fire to cool it... that is an absolutely wacky idea...

Who knew you could light a match with water...

I wonder what the neighbors were thinking when they saw this crazy looking thing thumping around in your driveway

I'd recommend a frame stretcher half way down the frames to ensure they remain rigid and straight to each other

Might be worth looking at local model engineering societies, usually the members are happy to help and they might have machining facilities

First thought was the wheel spacing looks very close together? Don't want the engine to start rocking about once running.

Shane, I like it - I think as you have made so many engines it is almost rude to make suggestions - having made 11 entries in the old eco marathon the enemy is weight & friction- especially in items that move - look at each item - can the connecting rods be tubes? can they be an aluminum alloy, carbon fibre or titanium - sourced from radio Ariel, TV antenna or military/aircraft use - look at bearings - think ceramic ball - if belts think flat serpentine or toothed the flex is easier than V - sniffer valve? - if flywheel why not have a smaller wheel turning faster than a big wheel turning slow? If anything has gloopy oil or grease rethink it : )

Im worried that going around a corner the gyroscopic action of the fly wheel might filp it over

Have you stirling engine a Regenerator? The Regenerator save Energie and help to have more Power.

Looking good!
