    That valve design is the simplest and yet the best I've seen so far

  • @Latheman666
    @Latheman666  11 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Thanks. Yes its a vacuum engine. The valve is simply connected to the piston with a rod that can freely move up and down through the piston. When the piston is almost at the top position the valve closes, the air cools and moves the piston downwards and keeps the valve closed until the piston ist almost at his lowest position.

    Thanks. Its so hard to get flamelickers running because they are very unefficient (only about 3%). In my projects building flame lickers took less time then getting them to run.

      This is VERY useful to me, since it shows how valve assembly can be very simple. This could fit on a tin can type of engine, and this brought me a step closer to just that.
      Like using a metal jar lid on the bottom of a tin can.. So sliding construction.

    • @cybertree
      @cybertree 9 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      +Marcel Shaffer Exactly :). The real power comes from the flywheel momentum *pulling the piston and flame in, then the valve seals as the fire extinguishes, and that depletion of oxygen results in a vacuum which pulls the piston back*.
      It's just like the "upside down cup with a candle in it" trick you may have seen, where it will suck in water as the candle dies and uses oxygen. *Literally "pulling" the piston instead of pushing like a gasoline would, pretty cool shit!*

    • @Latheman666
      @Latheman666  10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I can't say it in numbers, but the friction should be kept as low as possible, even at the price of tightness.

  • @paradiselost9946
    @paradiselost9946 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    hmmm... valve and piston driven/driving crank, possibly a bit of play and spring on the valve itself so it seats properly, with a disc sliding on the valve stem acting as a one way valve inside the cylinder.
    and it needs to hang upside down not only to meet the flame nicely but also keep the valve closed...

  • @bveracka
    @bveracka 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    Quick question: Why does the engine slow down after it begins to heat-up, despite still having the flame going at the same rate?

    • @Latheman666
      @Latheman666  9 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      +Brandon Veracka The efficieny depends on the difference of temperature. And it decreases as the cylinder heats up.

    • @bveracka
      @bveracka 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Latheman666 I thought about that (as generally any solid or liquid expands when heated; in this case the cylinder). Thank you for a nice, sarcasm-free reply & explanation =)

    • @kistuszek
      @kistuszek 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Brandon Veracka
      The problem is not the cylinder expanding, rather the air does not cool down in the closed space that much if the surroundings are warmer. This type of engine depends on air cooling and "sucking in" the piston.

    • @HobkinBoi
      @HobkinBoi 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Latheman666 what if you added a small fan to the shaft? Could it then maybe run a little bit faster?

    • @bveracka
      @bveracka 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      {MLP} Rainbow Dash I think it's more a case of the metal heating-up from the inside (and thus swelling) that makes these motors start to slow-down so quickly, but I could be wrong. A fan might help a little, but the problem will still remain.

  • @Iammastercheif1

    I think there’s a easier way to make a flame-licker engine. Increase the stroke of the piston, and install a ball-bearing check valve.
    You could also make a upside down funnel which is mounted in front of the air intake. So if you put the machine next to a campfire, more heat would be directed to the engine.
    And if you’re going to use a campfire, the diameter of the piston could be three inches. That would drive a larger generator.
    This machine could also be mounted on the side of a cast iron stove. It’s much simpler than a Sterling engine.

    • @paradiselost9946
      @paradiselost9946 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      theyre utterly useless, a gimmick.
      the only power you have is the pressure of the atmosphere acting on the back of the piston, against whatever pressure the cooling gases of combustion reach... and as atmospheric pressure is only 14.7 psi, and you are very unlikely to get even half an atmosphere in the cylinder... you have barely any force on the piston. the larger the piston the better... the colder you can keep that cylinder, the better. yet at a certain size, the volume of gas being cooled exceeds the ability of the surface area to absorb it.
      they may be simple but they are obnoxiously finnicky and can barely run. 99.9% of the heat goes "up the chimney".
      a stirling is far superior... and even they suck. sadly the next progression, adding valves and pumping air through external heat exchangers with far better surface area to volume ratios with subsequent better heat transfer, seems to have been forgotten about. ericsson cycle, amongst others... which led to the development of the turbine engine... same idea but with no valves and the combustion fed into the working "cylinder", said cylinder driving the compressor, consuming a certain amount of power, and whats left over appears as "work". which as a piston based design by cayley, the "furnace gas engine"... was subject to valve failure for obvious reasons... it was 1850 or so, they didnt have stainless steels or inconels or other fancy metals... or machine tools. it had to deal with raw flame and ash of a furnace... they had the theory behind a turbine, they didnt have the materials until the 30s...
      with a single double-acting piston, and one cam operated valve, its pretty simple. replace "furnace" with "heat exchanger in fireplace". ericsson cycle.
      then you get into diesel cycles, akroyd hot bulbs... at which point "hot air engines" got left behind in the chase for more power which is dead simple now we focussed entirely on one architecture... burning the fuel with the air inside the working cylinder...
      steam? too complex, too dangerous, too inefficient. no matter what... 80% of the energy goes to waste, it simply cant be improved... water has a massive amount of energy held in its phase change from liquid to gas... constantly being boiled then condensed is the killer... pump the heat in... then dump it out, taking the cream off the top... you cant recover that heat, that energy. you cant use the heat of condensing water to boil water... as the temperatures get closer, theres less transfer. once the waters condensed, that energy is too "diffuse" to be of any use other than to slightly warm more water... never boil. takes six times more energy to boil water than it does to take it from ambient to boiling...
      the advantage of the stirling with the regenerator is how that "latent heat" is stored in the regenerator between cycles, and the majority of the "cream" alone is used, that bit of extra heat added and removed in the two stages. air only having a low thermal mass, and no phase change. at that point its limits are volume to surface area, pressures, density, and mechanical efficiency. its worth pointing out that you still lose half the heat out the chimney. you cant heat the hot end higher than the exhaust gas, and when the exhaust is half the combustion temperature, the maximum energy at the highest potential is being transferred. can heat MORE stuff to a lower temperature, can heat LESS stuff to a higher temperature, but halfway is the goldilocks zone...
      we ALMOST have the same thing in a fridge, its just the reverse cycle... pump the heat in to get power out.
      the stirling uses heat as it flows THROUGH it, a flame licker holds its hands in front of a bonfire...

      flame and heat is hot and less dense air.
      suck in flame.
      close (visible) valve. flame/air in cylinder cools, densifies, reduces in pressure.
      atmosphere on the back of piston pushes piston up cylinder, as one way valve (under the valve you see) closes port and maintains low pressure in cylinder...
      piston descends again, sucking in a new flame past (barely visible) one way valve... repeat.

      @@paradiselost9946 I got it, but the part I don’t quite understand is the ‘cooling’ of the air when the valve is closed. It’s only a second or two. Couldn’t be much cooling.
      Thanks

      @@johnr5252 thats the issue... have to keep the cylinder cool. gets worse as size increases. not much surface area either. and as theres still air in there, its doesnt really have much drop in pressure... unlike steam... its a VERY inefficient "atmospheric" engine. which only have 14.7psi of atmospheric pressure producing force to start with...

    This could be refitted with a mechanical relay using solar power to run store and place dynamo generator to spin for redundancy feed back. If ONLY. Peltier teg could use heat to light a led up from excess heat absorption.
    Alternatively a parabolic mirror with a Fresnel lens could sterling drive effect this in another way just potentially not cost effective.
