Nice engines! I like them particular because thet can show all the process of expansion and contraction bein proceced, and everyone can see clearly how the stirling cycle works. maby you can sell them to universities lol lol XD
At least 12hours, we don't have our stove burning much more that that at a time so it is hard to say. When the stove fired is the hardest time for it. If the wood is a little wet the temperature drops fast and it stops. Once heated up if the temperature reading on my burn Indicator drops below 325F/162C it will stop. My "Copper Top Stirling Engine" handles the rapid swings to lower stove top temperatures much better; it’s good down to around 200F/93C.
@lookcreations Yes but also, I wanted to keep as much of the bottle as possible so people could see what it was. A shorter displacer would wood need a lot more vertical travel, this causes too much friction on the displacer shaft when 90 degrees off vertical., it would also give the displacer a mechanical advantage over the power piston. Less travel with more displacement should make for a faster engine.
Thanks for the comment. The 1st long run it ran for about 6hours before the top was too hot and it stalled after firing the stove. It survived many firings prior to that and started easily When the temp leveled out.
I made 2 changes that should be enough to compensate for the rapid temperature swings.
1) Heat shield under the top heat sink made from a polished brass sheet.
2) Electrically insulated the top for the bottom, by changing how the springs attached to the top.
Genius!

Congratulation. How long time it works non stop? It is enough your cooling radiator?

Why is there an ad at the end of the video, set up to look like a standard youtube video link screen, but takes you to some advertising site?
Advertisers will stoop to unbelievable lows.

Great video, can I ask why the displacement piston is so long tall ? Is it to aid with the temp' diff required ?
