Fantastic. The Naysayers probably wouldn't be able to recognise old fashioned ingenuity and first class engineering skills if they hit them in the face.
Pretty cool, this video is already 6 years old and no other videos were made, I just hope the person in this video is okay. It´s a shame that no other videos were released, would have loved to see more such machines.

Awesome engine! If you replace the aluminum displacer with one made from stainless steel it will work even better. A displacer should always be made from a bad heat conductor.
Latheman's crazy machines I think aluminium is better cause its light weight and can work as regenerator to cool the air down when it goes from the hot end to the cold one.
Engine operation will also improve, to an even larger degree, if an economizer is placed between the hot and cold sides of the engine (something I did not hear being mentioned in the engine's presentation). Come to think of it, the role of the economizer could be undertaken by a displacer with low thermal inertia, i.e. a good conductor of heat. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Using steel for the displacer is a bad idea cause its too heavy to lift by hot air ...even cars pistons arent made of steel...think of a material like ceramic: very very slippy (zero friction) and heat proof ...if the walls of the cylinder are also made of ceramic the displacer can fit the cylinder with a squizey tolerance ( within micrometers) no sound will be heard...ceramics can also serve as interface between moving and fix parts so no lubrification (engine oil) is needed...no friction=no heat so no cooling system needed (Radiators+water pump)...isnt that COOL?
@@doublestarsystem The history of the use of ceramics in engines is ancient. To build a piston and a cylinder with micrometer tolerance and get to grips with the thermal problems is a completely different topic. Yet to produce cost-effective is a thing of impossibility. Reality is the spoilsport.
Here's a thought, preheat the fuel with the waste heat comming off the cold side of the stirling engine. If your useing propane, as it expands it cools helping keep the cold side cold, and the energy used to preheating the fuel is recycled helping the burner get a little hotter.
This is a very elegant arrangement on how to combine the power of the eight cylinders. Beautiful in conception and excellent in execution. A swash plate would have been easier, but this is quite ingenious. Congratulations.
A beautiful engine that seems very powerful compared to many other stirling engines. This man know how to craft perfectly working components. And amazing desing too. Well done Man!
Amazing. But i keep thinking the bottom of the cylinders remind me of hanging tube chime bells that can vibrate a lot of sound energy away. I wonder if you can make it quiter with an epoxy composite surrounding all the pipes at the bottom. Or encase the crank and pressurize the air in the crank case to 2 or 3 bar. I'm pretty sure you will be able to get more power that way.
The Stirling Engine is much older than Stirling Moss, actuallu invented by the Reverend Stirling as an alternative to the steam engine boiler explosions. Boiler explosions were the result of poor maintenence and and bad operating practices.
With such a project people get certificate! Its well made especially the gear part...and the torque is good even there is no flywheel visible...thank you for sharing...
Wonderfull Machine! I fell in love with the Stirling cycle engine years ago. I used to go to bed thinking about the design and how i might make a machine with some decent power output. I can see that this is a nice design. Nice Job.
I built one, and i find the physics fascinating . No one around takes much interest in my engine. i just love to learn new things and to take an idea and create a working thing. not much good for anything. they are so in efficient, the most it does is just spinn the flywheel and spin and make a mechanical noise. Adults can have toys you know, and these are inexpensive and safe. Not like some fast car or airplane.
keep trying. I make these little toys, and i haven't ever tried one this complicated. don't give up. I feel lonely because most folks don't understand the pleasure of actually learning new stuff and creating something in your mind, and seeing it when your done. i am thrilled by a working engine, but those around me not so much and i am quite sure they just think i am just a strange old man. most folks just don't get it.
thanks for the video, I always liked the idea of using the difference between hot and cold to make something work. kinda like the thermoelectric. BTW, killer craftsmanship. thanks again
That's a wonderful Stirling Engine assembly. The gearing to combine the output of the 8 engines is very clever and different from the swashplate designs I am familiar with.
Can u pls do a video on how it was put together. A taking it apart and putting it back together kind of idea. I like to see what items where used under the hood. Like what the pistons and ignition items look like.
Great piece of engineering. Just a small suggestion. Instead of those gears, can you individually drive small alternators, whose output can be consolidated and used directly to do work.
you can. you can build something like this. This isn't the first engine the dude made. you got to not be afraid to try. not be afraid of doing something that is a waste of time. you got to start off with simple stuff. If you want to do it, don't wait for someone to encourage you or guide you. I make engines like this, i made a bunch of simple stuff first. I got a mill drill on craigs list and a very old simple lathe.. there are a butt load of videos on lathe and mill drills. nothing more satisfying than learning new stuff and creating something just because it was in your mind. problem with videos is that this guy is really really good. i haven't tried something this complicated, and it does intimidate viewers.
This is beautiful.this.design solves the.torque issue most stirlings have. A 8cyl. Like always nothing beats cubic inches haha. Now if this drives a big generator and could be powered by solar heat.
BILL! That was a great video. I'm looking for inspiration to do builds of my own and I've certainly found some in you creation :). Thanks for sharing !
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, Nasa had a pickup truck with a Stirling engine in it, where did that experiment end up? very nice video and engine. Thanks :)
An interesting geometry... Is there something to the circular geometry with the burner that offsets all the extra friction losses from all the extra gears? Or is it just that it's easier to build individual cranks with a bandsaw than to try to get a linear crankshaft balanced?
i have tried to make this as my college project , was only 12% efficient , solar panel would beat that alternator generation with wafer , if this could be implemented for large generators
Rohit Arora it's not about efficiency...it's about cost per watt...making silicon wafers is expensive and tedious work, Stirling engines can be made using recycled materials!! At home
Each power piston has a displacer immediately above it, and moving with it... the secret, is that it's the displacer for the power piston next door, to get the required phase shift....
What configuration is this sterling engine? How is the displacer connected mechaically or is free moving or is it free pistion design ..i would love to see how the regeneation circuit was plumbed and how the displacer pistion was created
Someone posted an answer in another thread which seems plausible. Simplifying to four cylinders, A,B,C,D, the power piston A is directly below the air chamber and displacer that belongs to B. They can be linked by a straight rod passing through an airtight seal, so piston A and displacer B are in phase. Piston A is driven by air from chamber D. And so on around the circle. In this way we can get the 90 degree phase relationship between piston and displacer for each "engine", it's just visually deceptive because, in a vertical line you have parts belonging to two engines. Nice idea.
It's the loudest Stirling I have ever heard but also one of the most fun looking I have ever seen.
Fantastic. The Naysayers probably wouldn't be able to recognise old fashioned ingenuity and first class engineering skills if they hit them in the face.

Thank you for showing us the 8 cylinder sterling engine. it’s awesome 👏

The crankshaft gear mechanism that couples all the cylinders is amazing machining.
I have seen a lot of Stirling Engines, but that is very unique! Great craftsmanship and design!
Innovative Man !
Congratulations. Great project. You put a lot of love in this project. Thank you for sharing.

The 10 people that disliked dont know what a stirling engine is
Or they find the engine design ludicrously complicated and inefficient.
Horse shit. Afr less complicated than even a fifty year old internal combustion engine.
Sterling Cycle engines in general aside from slow throttle response are excellent efficient engines but this one is badly designed except as a toy.

I would love to spend an afternoon in this gentleman‘s company imagine what stories he could tell Fantastic job
You put this engine a lot of work
Wonderful piece of engineering.... producing quite a bit of power too ! love it.
With such a project people get certificate! Its well made especially the gear part...and the torque is good even there is no flywheel visible...thank you for sharing...
Those linkages are a thing of beauty. I'm not quite understanding how the traditional displacer/power piston are connected.
Great job Vilmars, fantastic creation and beautiful craftsmanship!
Thanks for sharing.

VERY impressive I would have loved to have seen the build !
Incredible machining work
Very nice stirling engine! Lot of very unique design details, some of which I have never seen before. Now tell me that this is not a kind of art...
CONNECTED TO SUN HEAT OF THE DISK. GREAT WORK!
Muito bom! Um Kilopower "caseiro", parabéns!
That's a wonderful Stirling Engine assembly. The gearing to combine the output of the 8 engines is very clever and different from the swashplate designs I am familiar with.
Bellissimo e che creativita ! Pare funzioni pure molto bene 👏
that was freaking awesome man!
Nice Design. Good concentration around a heat source
wonderful machines sir
Well done crafting the gears especially , how where they tapered/beveled so neatly?
Great work, sir. Stirling engines definitely have a scope in the near future.
I absolutely love it sir, fantastic work
Good job Mister !

Parabéns pela engenharia, ficou maravilhoso e criativo seu motor.
Bloody brilliant!!!
Why would anyone not like this video is spreading negativity really that much fun I loved this video but I'm a happy person
thats just crazy, thanks for sharing
nice work on that engine.
Very beautiful creation and v well bought out
Great piece of engineering. Just a small suggestion. Instead of those gears, can you individually drive small alternators, whose output can be consolidated and used directly to do work.
Just put the generator on the weal instead. If you were thinking of electricity for light or somthing like that.
If I ever need a steampunk tea kettle, I know now who to contact.
Mind-blowing work sir! :) Please make more.
Beautiful work, thanks for sharing !
Gostei muito da forma de sicronismo entre os cilindros. Exelente projeto!

Wow. Provide heat from a solar collector, a proper generator/alternator, and that is a feasible power supplier
i have tried to make this as my college project , was only 12% efficient , solar panel would beat that alternator generation with wafer , if this could be implemented for large generators
Rohit Arora it's not about efficiency...it's about cost per watt...making silicon wafers is expensive and tedious work, Stirling engines can be made using recycled materials!! At home
the old man still got it
I have an idea for your next engine, how about a 8 cylinder engine using a swashplate instead of gearing them all together.
Even Better = Less resistance !
That is awesome buddy..... very clever .....
Super cool! Thanks for sharing!
It's beautiful in motion and design.
just needs a nice big solar collector to top it off, fantastic.
Toll gemacht , aber das Getriebe erzeugt einfach zu viel Reibung der Leistungsverluste ist enorm. Dennoch klasse gemacht.
Amazing! Thanks for sharing.
Wow, those gears must of taken some serious time on a bandsaw. What has me mystified though is how the displacers are being stroked / reciprocating?
Each power piston has a displacer immediately above it, and moving with it... the secret, is that it's the displacer for the power piston next door, to get the required phase shift....
not the next door .. the one next to the next door
.. 90॰ phase shift .. remember ?
excellent design Sir, I appreciate your work and getting inspired to do a good thing.
Doesn't matter what it is, 8 cylinders always sounds right.
Epic design, well done my good man
What configuration is this sterling engine? How is the displacer connected mechaically or is free moving or is it free pistion design ..i would love to see how the regeneation circuit was plumbed and how the displacer pistion was created
Thans Vilmar, it is appreciated.
You are a cool dude, Great work.
! Great Stuff Here!
Beautiful piece!
A very intelligent person!
Nice engine, what can it do, and at what cost?? Can it move water, or anything else, and again, at what price?
Genius! Well done sir.
Very nice design!!
That music :(. Came to hear the beautiful sounds of a Stirling
Great engine. Is this a free piston engine? I cannot make out any connections for displacer piston.
beta I believe
Try high heat magnetic bearings in your design for all the moving parts. Try a V 6 engine design with two fly wheels with a center power train.
Great work.
What is driving the displacers, please?
Tristan Cooper hot air
Someone posted an answer in another thread which seems plausible. Simplifying to four cylinders, A,B,C,D, the power piston A is directly below the air chamber and displacer that belongs to B.
