Heat of your hand Stirling Engine

- This ultra low temperature-differential Stirling Engine will actually run on the heat of your hand! Place this beautiful precision engine on any warm surface and within a few minutes it's chugging away. The engine runs whenever the temperatures of the top and bottom plates differ by more than about 10 degrees Celsius. Its upper black aluminum plate actually absorbs enough heat in direct sunshine to run on solar power. You can also try a cup of hot coffee, or even your computer monitor! By placing the engine on some ice cubes, it is even possible to drive the engine by the heat of the surrounding air in the room.
This is a great thermodynamic demonstration of air pressure change due to alternate heating and cooling. The main chamber has perspex sides, which allow you to see what is happening inside. When the large foam displacer (it is not a piston) moves up, the air is then in contact with the lower (warmer) plate, and the air expands. This drives the small piston in the centre of the top plate upwards. The displacer then moves down, causing the air to now be in contact with the upper (colder) plate. The air now cools and contracts, which causes the small piston to move down. As long as there is a temperature differential of over 10 degrees, your Stirling Engine will keep going!
This is not a kit - it comes fully assembled and ready to go.

@@Ashish-er4kz Vampires are known to have cold bodies I think
I want a friendly Vampire
Or you simply feel their hand
@@christianandersen4749 That be kinda gae tho
0:40 Me when trying to explain something in front of the class
lol fr i couldn't understand what he was saying
It's looks like a piston, but it's actually a little air displacer.
@@Kenny.ymir1 "fispjacerbutifslklikairdspnr"
I don't get it. Did people struggle to understand that?
I thought it was stroke
I want one that have a fan on top instead of a reel.
probably too gentle to actually push air..
David Lukšić only if you put on hand what about on a stove??
TheDreameR Or unplug the stove and plug in a conventional electric fan.
But that's no fun I suppose.
Steam Engine.
FuckYouGooglePlus Actually the generator takes chemical energy, converts it into mechanical energy, then into electric energy. Then the electric fan would convert the electric energy back to mechanical energy. A combustion engine connected to a fan would only need to convert from chemical to mechanical. Theoretically, it should be more efficient than using a gas generator.
Put this on a CPU and cool it with the energy generated
It sounds like an amazing idea but would it be reliable enough?
This wouldn’t work, but fun idea
It would create a black hole!!!
😳 u r right
the wheel should be shaped like a fan. But it wouldn't have enough force to pull away the required quantity of air to cool the cpu efficiently
This got recommended to me after 9 years and still, this is impressive.
Yuri best girl
Yes, because thousand year old books aren't impressive in any way. We all know that everything old is boring.
@@nicklasveva dumbass, he meant it’s not outdated or anything.
Same
same
I can’t imagine being able to put so little effort into mumbling words. He must be able to conserve so much energy.
he puts all the energy into his hands to heat them
Lol my thoughts exactly
Imagine attaching the engine to a very small toy/figurine like an animated character. Holding it's "podium" would make it move or dance. That would be awesome :D
Takes a lot of force to move a figurine
@@Darakkis maybe make the figurine out of lightweight but complex origami so that it isn’t as fragile as just paper
That would truly be awesome :)
Or maybe like pictures on the blades with only one transluscent section so it's like a heat powered gif.
Summer: **comes**
Him: *UNLIMITED POWEEER*
This man has the best collection ever.
put it in the freezer and then hold it
Or just dont do this
*freezes the stirling engine to my hand* "ok now what"
Or warm up your hands with warm water

@@DontMessWithCaesar idiot.
I never get tired of seeing Stirling engines running
how about now ?
@@caturlifelive shhh, he's sleeping!
@@MrDogfish83 Okay uncle
I keep getting videos from this guy recommended to me and I enjoy it. He seems so nice
This is incredible really. I'd absolutely love a fan like that. This stuff seems like it has a lot of potential in the future to help a lot of people.
IT would help a lot of people simple enjoy the thought of it. That's it. If you are thinking in terms of helping them make electricity, then no.
i like your name :D xDDD
@@fuckyougoogleplus8667 how about just cooling them by using it as a fan in 100 degree heat
We have a similar device at the cabin. It's made of iron so you put it on top of the wood burning stove and the temperature difference makes the fan spin so it circulates the heat a little faster.
@@edgardox.feliciano3127 so you want to use a bunch of energy to cool it while it's super hot outside and then waste most of the energy you used to power a fan that might blow for maybe a minute at an incredibly low speed?
Just use an electrical fan bro.
You're new here, I take it. It's ok, give it some time. It NEVER gets old :)
Damn. You right. I'm still not sick of it.
never gets old. granted im still watching the vid for the first time but it hasnt gotten old yet
This aged well
Why are we replying on a 7 year old comment
@@Lee-jt4hz why not? :)
I like the power piston and displacer con-rod arrangemen, it’s quite unique for a LTD Stirling Engine.
My hands are always so cold the table would probably make it move more tbh
You should go to a doctor then. Cause that’s not normal
Same here
Hands and feet always very cold :(
Same but it's my nose
Or maybe you're a vampire
@@redrainer wait i've been like this all my life :flushed:
This is so COOL, even after 9 years
Get whole bunch of those, get some laptops, place them, place those on the most heating place of your laptop, start up a lan party like this. Eventually make a in-game gold farm and pay people for farming gold in games. People farming in-game money + possibility of making energy out of this + cooling down yourself by a fan. This is amazing and money - providing.
It will overheat the computers and make you waste more energy...
Imagen in the middle of summer: you're dying of heat, you have this with a fan, and it's going hyper speed cuz of how hot you are
But the outside temp is also hot so it probably wouldn't spin any faster
incredible how much energy we are just radiating all the time.
and sterling engines are only around 30% efficient!
thousands of practical uses though, what a lovely idea.
2 people must be Cold blooded
***** but a cold blooded person takes their body temp from the area around them, as such no temp difference
rjwaters3 yea
Vampires!
Now 6
Reminds me of how the Peltier tiles were used to make a hand warmth powered flashlight.
it would help in the winter! if you have a wood burning stove you can put one of these on the top with a fan and it will help distribute the heat
I really like your idea from 7 years ago.
Use one of those to cool down electronics? For example, use the heat generated from a aprocessor to run a fan that cools the processor down.
If you can get it to run at very fast speeds and cost less than or equal to regular fans (after energy usage over 5 years added). The maximum rpm anyone's gotten it to run is probably still only a small fraction of what's needed.
JFrame Yeah, the cost and lifetime may be an issue, but apart from that, it's free. But then again, new graphics cards have a similar system using a vapor chamber.
you know that might not be half bad idea.
cdoublejj Well, I also realized that they use a similar idea in newer gfx cards. A vapor chamber. It's not mechanical, and that's even better.
Of course, there's still alot of heat left to drive a sterling engine.
antiHUMANDesigns
look up "coolclouds" they are about to release some sort of combined heatpipe, aircooled,water cooled synergistic cooler.
I need that thing. No matter why, I just need it right now
love his choice of words :D
Tim is so cool I am surprised it worked at all.
“Looks like a piston; it’s actually just a little air displacer.”
That… pretty much describes a piston, at least in a very broad sense.
.
Is nobody realising the fact this works and is powered by cold environments is revolutionary?! You could have a space craft powered by the coldness of outer space alone... literally making it an endless battery with no need for a generator or sunlight etc... this could literally change the entire world. why tf is nobody talking about this?! This is what weve all been waiting for. Reliable free energy with absolutely zero fuel needed and no waste products. This is in my opinion is the most impressive technology I've ever seen. Hands down. Anybody who says otherwise clearly doesn't understand the science behind this
There's so little energy in the rotating flywheel that you couldn't do anything meaningful. As soon as a load is introduced the wheel would stop and the engine would stall. It's like static electricity generating thousands of volts, there's just not enough actual energy in the system to get appreciable current to work with. Also, the whole system only works because there's heat being transferred. If you took this out into space it would need a constant source of heat, which makes it a finite source again.
Well, now I understand how
The robots in the Matrix need humans as batteries🤔
Hold up
Kindergarden Teacher: "what do you want to be when you grow up?"

I am part of the movement that is taking this clip to 1M views!
I can watch this all day lol
I love the way he talks
Make it into a fan and use it on a hot day.
That's ingenious. Why isn't this being funded already?
User name Because I think the top would get hot too quickly.
Smitty Werbenjagermanjenson google: sterling stove fan
User Name because the blades of the fan would face much higher resistance and would either not spin at all or extremely slow. That is if the heat source remains your hand
Smitty Werbenjagermanjenson It would actually provide less power on a hot day because the temperature difference between your hand and the ambient temperature would be less.
These technologies is the start of our future
I came here from Vsauce! :p
Me too
+Saurabh Singh you should link me
I did to but did he have a link?
+Jacob King yeah check the description
+Saurabh Singh me too!
btw this is a Beta-configuration stirling engine, which means that in a single cylinder there is both a piston and a displacer
It doesn't just work on heat, it works on heat difference. You'd need one side of the engine to be hot (like in a hot room) and the other side to be cool.
i like this guy. sounds like a true gent.
Get someone who praises you the way he does he magnificent engine
Love to watch its gentle wobbling, reminding me of the motion of a jellyfish
I am now a fan of this fan
As a person who always has cold hands, I will never be able to enjoy the 'perpetual' motion of this engine, at least with my hands.
TH-cam recommendation page never make me disappointed
Make computer fans that work off the heat produced to lower electronic consumption and provide cooling!
That is the greatest fucking idea ever
What you have never heard of chemical evaporation absorption refrigeration that can be used to cool computers by the heat they produce? WoW!
Wait opps I am in the wrong century may bad!
You want some more ideas? How about a solar vacuum tube portable electric power generator? LOL
Imagine an X box that cooled itself with Manson low heat fans that did not consume any watts. In a sense the fans would still be the same old fans that would turn without consuming any watts under normal conditions. If a sensor was tripped the fans would move faster to generate more air flow. Novartis
Put one of these on top of a heated cable boxes, some metal blocks on top and it will run even faster
I love watching Stirling egine it relaxes me,
Apparently this is how humans were transformed into a 9 volt battery in "The Matrix series". 😂

What??
This little displacer here. It looks like a piston, but it's actually just an air displacer.
Hes gone into maximum overdrive

Does no one not notice how the reel is so perfectly aligned you almost won't know it is moving without those grooves...
DON'T FORGET THAT NOTIFICATION BELL
They are called spokes FYI
I don’t know why this was recommended to me but it’s still pretty cool
Beautiful engineering.. And I love your videos . Thanks 👍☘️🇮🇪
I understood not a word, but it was very interesting
This would make for the perfect fan
I threw this machine to furnace now the whole house is flying
Bring this to India, it'll start flying
The catch is that this engine works better when it's cold.
Just got mine from Grand Illusions. It's a newer version than this, beautifully made :-)
Really pleased with it.
@ 0:40 say what?
0.25x speed
Need these for cars!
this was when *modern* technology was a thing
Look its working already! ....slaps the wheel to get it moving* Lmfao
Tim would say.."ohhh my"
Don't know why it's in my feed now but looks great for my laptop which runs like a toaster.
Imagine putting that over a cup of coffee
We need massive ones to power cities
Someone should create a mug, which will automatically stir the tea, and will work on this principle because tea is usually hotter than air outside
Tim is plugged into the Matrix.
Now if a company put that into a huge version like over a hot spring they could hook that up to a ac generation and basically have free electricity
Those NAILS
I hope my cat videos show up randomly in people’s feeds, in the future, like your videos have in mine, lol. 🐈⬛
Always wanted to know about this, I've seen this in campers.
I want to put the bottom above the fire and a have little liquid nitrogen filled tray on the top part.
How interesting that would be,i think i would spin very fast
Bro. This could make it to where we can charge our phones by doing nothing
Can this be powered by sunlight?
Hook this up to one of those generators that you need to spin and you got yourself a generator that doesn't harm the environment
This is quite remarkable.
That's quite cool tbh
I finally have the final ingredient to my human energy extractor
Build a big version of this. Put it outside. The difference of day and night temperatures will create energy. Produce a couple thousand of those and voila! Clean energy. :)
TerrorJesus that would work if night and day air temperatures were piled up on top of one another
SOLAR POWARZ!
How much energy technology is suppressed by the oil and gas industry, if we can power things with the palms of our hands?
That's the Matrix
Surely you can spin it in any direction and it will work?
need to make a hat with this system that blows air back onto your face during summer
I am from future and this video will be famous after 9 years in 2021
Wow that's actually really impressive!
Nobody:
People with fever : *UNLIMITED POWER!!*
2012 had better inventions than tbh 2021
This is perpetual energy
Please explain why.
Jeff O put that thing on a warm surface like the bottom of a chair and voila the heat of someone sitting on the chair will make that thing go
However, it's not perpetual energy. It's simply a transference of energy; in this case, heat transferring from one's hand to the engine. Take it off your hand, and the engine stops. And it takes energy to create heat.
Perpetual motion (not energy) would be like something spinning in outer space. It'll keep spinning unless it comes into contact with something else. So far, we don't know of any perpetual "energy" machines. Such a device would be overunity/free energy.
PUT IT IN A BATHTUB BECAUSE I'M THIS CLOSE FROM BUYING ONE MYSELF!
i could see a use for this by putting it on the hot pavement and pointing at yourself that is in the shade during a hot summer day,
that is if it had a fan on it
Put a radiator running through the top and one of those thousand mirror sun light condensing dishes around it focusing light at the bottom........
It could make for some badass lawn ornament applications....😉
Use this for a fan inside a computer case, maybe mounted on a hot component? Smaller of course. Hmm...
A fan that warms you😂
I wonder how much power you could get out of a large stirling engine using a method of focusing sunlight. Probably wouldn't beat solar panels in the amount of space used per watt of power I imagine but who knows
Mega Candid stirling engine is more efficient than solar panels so it will beat solar panels
If you increase the heat, would it increase the speed?
That tech has been around for donkeys years. That is beautifully engineered none the less.
Small correction, if you put it on a block of ice, it wouldn't have to run counter to the direction it did when it was on your hand.
I was wrong, ignore that statement.
matszz I agree to your first statement , I wanna know why u changed your mind !
Tuphan Hamal
I re-read the wikipedia article on stirling engines. I rememberd incorrectly something in it.
If you attatch a motor, and run the stirling motor, it will create heat on one side and cold on the other. Or rather, pump heat from one side to the other. Like an electric motor forced to run will work as a generator for electricity.
OHh, thanks for replying :)
You could just have a difference in materials between to top and bottom plate. For instance if the bottom plate absorbed heat at a higher rate than the top plate it may work if the engineering was advanced enough. Also if the flywheel was fitted with fan blades the act of air movement across the top plate might act as a bit of cooling, accelerating the process.
a bigger one for server rooms that can be put on top of a server rack
Eventually the cold plate would get as warm as the servers and it would stop working.
TheaDragonSpirit that can be countered
+Juustohöylä yow dogggg, i heard you liked cooling down things so i made a thing that can cool down things but you need to cool the thing down with a cool down thing.
should be a fan.
