This is so charming to whatch. Thanks for sharing it. I never saw one like this before, a very similar to this one is the Stirling engine, but this is also very aesthetic and seems running at higher rpm than the Stirling.
It would be cool to see someone try to make a simple generator out of this using similar materials they had back then just to see what they could have done with it if history went different.
I'm surprised they didn't come up with a musical version. The ancient Greeks had various reed and pipe instruments, including the pan pipes and the Aulos, a kind of twin flute requiring more skill. The pan pipes were made from a series of reed tubes, and don't need a mouthpiece or much air pressure to activate. A musical device acting autonomously might have had some use to priests and cults. You could set the thing up to wail away and then get awestruck or intoxicated in some appropriately cultic way!
If they had a shaft going through the top and addea a screw gear they could have made fan for the pharaoh/king but it would have to be bigger and the friction would use up all the energy. Just sayin...
Has society finally realised you could put a pressure regulator on the ends to act as a govenor yet? IDK, I just seems to be the only one to think its still a good idea for small usages, and finally allowing a candle to be more of an idea. IDK, just my thoughts... boil halfway through the candle cycle, insulate it heavily... IDK, maybe we could get somewhere with this simplistic thing in modern day times. edit: or some super plastic or rubber that all you gotta do is put it in the thing to regulate the amount of water incoming if the rubber gets to hot it melts putting out the fire... wouldn't be to hard to do all this to modernise it a bit... but what do I know, just some dude with a hs diploma... Back I go to the void of gaming I go
People who like this video should read the ice breaker trilogy. Is about these people who live on an ice breaker that has been circling Antarctica for the last 200 years because they are hiding from the anti machinists, people who hate machines and destroy anything mechanical. On the ice breaker there is all this machinery they talk about to keep everything rrunning. Also because they have been on this one ship for so long they use a strange dialect and have different factions that get In fights and stuff. It's an easy and short but super engaging read
Actually it totally could be. Using mirrors to heat it and taking the rotation to power a water pump that brings new water into the system. Then condense the steam and use it for drinking water. If you had a scraper inside the spinning dome to collect the salt you could use that as well lol
@@everettstormy Exactly, steam turbine supplement most of the power grid. The question is what is beyond and can directly transfer thermal/light energy.
Being a mechanical engineer, I know how simple ideas like this have shaped future inventions.

Thanks, I try to find the more unique motors/engines and this one is a very efficient variant.

very cool! wonder if you could boil the water to steam using the sun rays through a fresnel lens
Perhaps? It would have to be quite large though.
@@Tech_Planet wouldn't think.
Such a little mechanism had the ability to power the world, yet it was viewed as a novelty.

So interestingly, jet propulsion was invented before the internal combustion engine.
Technically flying squid have been utilizing jet propulsion to fly for hundreds of thousands if not millions of years. 👀
@@1TakoyakiStore however, this wasn't what would be called an "invention".
Interesting Engine
I feel like writing a sci fi what if a motorized society began in the 1st & 2nd century.
That would be neat, just to think there was a motor all the way back then is fascinating.
I’d read it! 📖🐛
I wonder if you made a larger version of that, could it turn a generator? I've got an old stainless beer keg and an alternator.
Something 50 times larger changed the world,and continues to do so.
I think this could be redesigned into a practical steam engine.
Great! I love these constructions
I'd love to hook one up to a tiny motor jjust to see how much power it can generate.
Is it just a straight hole coming through the top from the inside of the bowl you never showed the inside of the bowls
Thanks for sharing. Aelopile is a steam engine.
How many rpm will the motor turn.
I will measure it soon, let you know!
@@Tech_Planet Thank you
Nice video :)

Lol Bro Steam engines help map the country. Cool vide🚂
Thanks!
Not a MOTOR rather it is an ENGINE.
( south Florida )
Actually not, this uses external combustion.

Yes, engine can more broad then ICE so I changed title.

It must be reversed Steem from outside to the iside it is very simple...

Yha so what can we do with it. Because we should be way past the steam engine. By now...
Actually steam in super helpful. Even nuclear power plants run on steam.
