also this was my first time using a RPM meter like this sooooooooo thats why it was a mess
Please look up how something works before using it, otherwise this is a pretty interesting video!
Try a bigger one
zoooommmmmmmm
If you tape the circumference of the flywheel with non reflective tape it will work better
It's actually called a tachometer and I use them for work. The other comments are right, the best way to use them is black the entire measured surface and have only one shiny spot
Those tachometers come with reflective material, put it on the outside of one of the flywheels and then you should get an accurate reading. That metal is too reflective to give a good reading
Exactly right
There is no way that was over 10,000 rpm, not only would the engine break before that, but it would sound way different
that would require Tyler reading instructions though.
2 minutes into the video and I was seriously concerned about the possibility of Tyler not even using the reflective tape for the tachometer, holy heck
@@natethegreat3194 I disagree the wheel is so small and it got to the point the piston didnt even look like it was moving but yet just vibrating im sure that wheel was spinning faster than 10,000 cylces per minute
“Okay the glass is starting to melt, so let’s do two blowtorches” Amazing Tyler
To be fair, 2 blowtorches will not burn hotter than 1.
@@MrGelowe I feel like it would burn a couple degrees hotter at least right? I mean I know it really wouldn’t do much but I feel like it would at least do something
😂😂
@@raylessneptune451 Since Propane can only reach a certain burn temperature the heat would remain the same, but because of the added energy the glass Would heat up faster. Then it all depends on the thermal conductivity of whatever material you’re heating up.
Ok so what about a third one? 😂
Should have covered the flywheels in black spray paint and then scraped a section away so that it had something shiny to reflect off at one point each rpm consistently.
and took the belt off going to the wheels for extra speed
With the feedback from the comments I think you should redo this video with proper rpm measurements, I would be very interested to see
And a new sterling engine car😅
There's an enjoyable honesty in just seeing what happens, and uploading the video regardless of the results or understanding of some of the tools used
True. Some people work very hard to make it look like they are perfect, and then there are people like Tyler.
A car that runs on flames and drives itself?
Cutest arson ever
I mean... normal cars drive with explosions... tho its controlled, unlike this
Correction. It does not work like a regular engine would, it works much more like a steam engine, except it used heated air rather than heated water
One side heats the air, the other side cools the air. Use ice on the cooler side to make it faster.
It's not like a regular engine that needs new air, this air expands in the hot side and contracts in the cool side, then flows back to the hot side to expand again. You need to get rid of the heat on the cool side 👍
You are correct dry ice would be perfect!
It looks like this is an open ended engine, i dont think he would be able to submerge it in ice.
so the best thing he could do to help is put a bit of heat shielding between the front and back and have cool air blowing across the cold side.
Video idea: "filling a zippo with everything except lighter fluid"
Nothing would happen, not enough things to do
@@tyler4q692 If you used something like fucking monster then no. I meant flammable liquids lmao
@@tyler4q692 straight up alcohol. Gasoline. Different Alcoholic beverages. Whatever
Why do you want to kill Tyler? lmao
Gasoline would probably make it explode
"The glass is starting to melt, sooo... let's do two blow torches at the same time." - And that's how this great country was built.
Love that little car. It drives right to the scene of the fire that burned down your house.😂
How fast can it go?
Answer: We don't know because Tyler can't use the measuring equipment... 🤣
Wouldn't be a Tyler Video without him absolutely messing up using a simple tool
these little stirling engines usually go at like 400-500 rpm with a regular flame so
Yo I don't thing You're using the RPM gauge right.
Like that was balanced enough to go 10k lol
To put it basically, Sterling engines work on heat difference. So those more upright ones you've seen, with the circular bases - you can heat the bottom, and balance ice on the top (below the wheel) to get maximum RPM.
I'm not 100% on the validity of further youtube videos about them as their uses are pretty limited, but they are fun regardless. There are kits around that you can hook them up to LED bulbs, though.
@@Totalinternalreflection He's a mechanic, he's not thick. Plus it's unfair to call him names when we're here watching the content he creates purely for our entertainment!
That was a good video. You can see the cylinder compressing so fast at the end it stops moving then comes catastrophic failure the wheel starts spinning in reverse
I dont think it went in revers, i think that was the rpm matching up with the framrate. I might be wrong tho. All in all this was a cool experiment!
Was wondering when you bringing back leaving stuff in a jar??
THIS
Those videos take a while to make, he probably has a bunch of jars sitting in a dark corner of the garage waiting to be opened
@@adan7949 "leaving cucumbers in viniger and salt and maybe some garlic for a month."
This looks really awesome, but I just don’t think I could trust myself with that 🔥 it kind of scares me 😂😂😂😂😂
I suspect the glass cylinder heated up and warped. Cute little motor! Can't imagine running that flame through the house though haha! "Here you go, son, light this up and go play in the living room." HAHAHA!!!!
It's annoying that people see some dude in his garage doing things and decide they have to complain about how he's doing it
Dude don’t worry on short videos. Hell we even watched you do a video on cutting grass and it was entertaining. Could honestly do just about anything and your fans would enjoy it.
"Now me and the mad scientist gotta rip apart the block, and replace the piston rings you fried."
That motor was hittin VTEC yo 🤣🤣
Find the diameter of the piston, so you know what size of copper pipe to get, and try again. With enough heat, and a good heat sink, you can get the rpms higher!
1:30 Tyler breaks out the safety gear....oh, this is going to be a doozy!
In case you haven’t figured out yet. A sterling engine works on the different in temperature. You heated everything up to same temperature. Let it cool down and just start over.
Anyone else wish he just let it rip when he went to 2 blow torchs just too see how fast it disappeared from frame
Our boy Tyler coming through with that clutch after work upload
I can already see a second video coming where Tyler listened to the comments and does it the other way
Saw Tyler putting on Safety Googles in the preview clip, had to watch the video immediately.
Tyler, on the sterling engine the cool side has to be cool, but with it getting hot very fast the cool side gets warm which makes it not run
Nailed it 😊
Tyler: *Alright, the glass is about to break*
Also Tyler: *Lol, Lets do TWO blow torches!*
Conclusion, don’t use glass for the cylinder, use metal. Put a radiator on the cooling end.
"Tyler turns a Sterling engine car into a drag racer" 😂😂😂
Ah yes, putting a tachometer facing a shiny surface
You need some kind of line / marking on the wheel so the tachometer can get an accurate reading, it doesn’t read anything when the object spinning is a solid color
5:43 "What happened?"
You. Broke. It.
Sterling engines work by the expansion of gases in a closed system air will expand when heated and contract when cooled. How a sterling engine works is when one side is heated it will expand pushing the piston then when the hot air gets to the other side of the cylinder it will cool and contract pulling the piston back in the opposite direction. You probably cracked the glass causing it to not be under vacuum anymore
I actually enjoyed the shorter video better than the normal longerish one.
This man is like the Thomas Edison of 2021🤣🤣🤣🤣 good job bro love the content!👏
information. ir tach tips. mount the tape RADIALLY (like a spoke). polished aluminum is sometimes too shiny. aim the beam slightly off of perpendicular; or paint alum black with a sharpie; then mount the tape.
The little engine could that is until ya killed it,poor little engine!!! That was a tough little engine to be sure!
You have to paint a black line on one of the teeth to have an accurate reference point for the tach, that did not appear to be anywhere close to 11k, 3k maybe but thats still pretty fast
Tyler man maken me nervous. Though you were gonna light the beard on fire lol
You have to put a visible mark for the laser to be able to distinguish the rpm. It can't accurately judge the speed because its all the same color metal.
"I got this thing strapped to the table"
**sitting on wood block**
They are low pressure engines, it's not going to explode. That is one of the key reasons why they were developed, because at the time steam engines were King and had a habit of gaining to much pressure and blowing up. Stirling engines need heat as well as a proper heat sink in order to work well. Without a heat sink the engine will eventually lose efficiency and stop or something will either melt or crack and you lose the working fluid. That is why the engine stopped
This,.. but again with a fresh one and lube the cylinder with a drop or 2 of wd40 or jb80 and see how fast it goes. Good stuff man!
Good video try find nomarl steamin than tiny see how much you did damaged steaming. Pretty cool to understand how steaming work
You're supposed to give the RPM meter a marker to go off of. Thats why your RPM's were off.
criminally underrated
Hey i like your videos.i enjoy your creativity.and its nice to watch something not run by a corporation but a single person.keep up the good work man thats what youtube use to be about
Lmfaooo that was so anticlimactic i thought it was gonna pop but im glad it didnt and youre okay my guy
You would have been better off adding some dry ice to the other glass piece. Stirling engines work on temperature difference, so cooling the other side will make it run faster.
My favorite man Tylertube
you should put black dot on that wheel to make good measurements
Tyler always comes in clutch when I am bored
Theoretically speaking, with those little wheels it could reach the speed of about 40 meters per second, which is about 140kph.
where was the kaboom? I was expecting an Earth shattering *KABOOM*
Except they don't work like a 'regular' engine... Most people would agree a regular engine is an internal combustion engine. which is not the same as this.
I has a model steam engine as a kid that I experimented with after my fuel pellets ran out....if only I knew then what I know now, it would be just as fun as this video was.
When using anything with a Lazer like a remote temp gun it reads what's it's reflecting too. So you need a non reflective surface. Masking tape is the common thing to use.
I think you should look into coolinf the otherside of the engine. This engine doesnt run on fpames, it runs off temperature differences. Its not designed to be ran that hot or for that long so you might be able to squeeze more performance by cooling/lubing the back of the piston or something
Should make a Sterling destruction video and try diffrent methods on how much abuse it can take
Video should be labeled, how not to use a RPM reader. A Piece of black tape would solve this issue.
You should wait until it gets really fast and then drop it and see what it does. Great idea😁
Runs on butane? Do you not mean spirit fuel? Hope your life insurance policy is paid up. Someone might need it! 🤔🙄🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. I really like your channel. I wait for the explosion. Make sure that the survivors post it, PLEASE.......👏👏👏👏👏
It sucks I'm so late but I believe you can reserve this Process by making the Bulb really cold, I wonder if the wheels would spin backwards
Dude thats friggen awesome
Seen the thumbnail and immediately subscribed, my kinda channel lmao
The funny part is, a stirling engine does not work like a regular engine, that´s the whole point of it xD
This person has no idea how it works, that´s why he expected it to blow up etc, which of course is noit going to happen.
You can almos double the RPM by replacing the air inside with Helium and installing a betting cooling solution, water cooling for instance.
You should do it again but this time put a piece of dry ice on the cooling fins
put a piece of black tape on the surface you are trying to read the rpms the next time you use on of these. be sure to line the laser up with that piece of tape, provides for more stable results
Bring back Wish Wednesday, Battle Box and 5 things in a jar.
Glad to see some eye protection. Love the videos man keep em coming!
I think you should test body armor. The odds of something exploding during your experiments seem likely..
I like the 1 going talk your coffee mug and go really fast coffee whatever you put in here Oh cool Seem people use before
They work off a differential of temperature so you need to cool the other side for maximum potential
You can fill the ball with something that evaporates very fast like acetone or liquid n2 and it will move very fast. Action lab did with a similar spinny thing
This engine contains no part that could be filled with liquid nitrogen that’d make it spin.
Did you measure off the rubber band? Did you not even think about reading directions? Lol you're the best
at 3:20, YER GONNA BREAK IT.!!!! from HEAT
Just set my house on fire....it was worth the buy👍🏾
You need to aim it at a spot where there is ONE dark zone & one light zone per turn. You won't get that on wheel with multiple spokes. Put black marker on rim of wheel. Your readings seem bogus. If you know the frame rate of the video, you can get speed from that.
You need to COOL the heat-sink part of the engine. When you heat with 2 torches, you need to heat from both sides. The heat shortly bleeds to the heat sunk, warming it up, reducing the output of the engine.
Man i bought of these bacause i thought it was cool, Then i see smarter people than i adding electronics to them and using them to charge their phone. Neat as hell.
Stirlings run really fast if filled with helium instead of air btw
12 “this thing”s
1 “this (little) thing”
1 “these things”
That’s a lot of things for a just over 7 minute video.
I love your videos Tyler, you really make me smile and laugh when I'm having a bad day
I did the same and I bought metal tubes. Also the rpm gauge isn't working bc the tape on the wheel and the reflection on the wheel are close to the same light lingth
The tachometer would prolly be more effective if you pointed at the engine wheel and marked an indicator.
Would you be able to heat it with a wire coil around the glass and heat it with electricity?
An excellent fire delivery system
Two seconds in after the title - As fast as you want
I need to see a video with a bigger engine with proper measurement
Now repeat this with extreme cold, like dry ice or liquid nitrogen; that should also do the trick.
Nice outro music pretty badass drum and bass 🙂👍
Good video bro!
That was still pretty cool
It is a STIRLING engine, named after the inventor of the same.
that thing did not go 11,000 rpm
I kept thinking he was gonna light his beard on fire with the blow torches
Pretty sure he almost touched flame when trying to light both of them lol
