  • I wonder what the friction comparison of the ferrofluid vs a graphite piston would be, and whether the ferrofluid would eventually let all the oil drip out and become a crunchy bit of iron filings stuck to a magnet.

  • check and refill once a month

  • This is how Redbull gets energy in their drinks....

  • will the thing stir forever?

  • Explain to me why and what is going on? Cool as hell though

  • @traubthegreat A Stirling engine of this general design works by changing the temperature and pressure of a gas (usually air) sealed inside it. In short, if you heat one side of the "pancake" at the bottom of the engine and cool the other (really doesn't matter which), it will turn.

  • Free Energy

  • ...you mean apart from the electric cooker it's sitting on top of? :)

  • hey guys... it's a stirling engine... it works by temperature differential and the ferrofluid is used only to fill the gap between the piston and its chamber! Stop saying where's the trick or the electricity!

  • Powered by red bull. You genius.

  • i dont get it ???

  • you need to make a gravity motor....gravity makes it go down magnet push it up maybe get a form of sphere...momentum(moving in a circle) to cause the motor to have a high resistance to change...but idk

  • am i right in thinking this doesnt need no power-energy? so therefore could answer our worlds energy sources?

  • No no! It is a Stirling motor.

  • ok thanks anyway, my mistake lol

  • @24tuccu

    haha nice try. ferro-aqueous fluids require an electric charge to cause any reactions so electricity is being used in this.

    i wish it was that simple though.

  • @kruegda No, they need a magnetic field, which can be provided by a magnet. No juice required. To make the standing temperature differential for the Sterling motor to work would require some sort of fuel. This wouldn't be a bad way to build a geothermal power plant, once it was scaled up and re-engineered appropriately, but that would still be using a limited resource.

  • @pariahthewanderer NO dude, actualy watch the vid man its on a STOVE TOP, and read the FIRST and SECOND LAW OF THERMAL DYNAMICS.energy can not be created nor distroyed only change form,and energy always moves in an ordered state to a non ordered state. also READ on Sterling motors they DO work on heat and that is there "fuel". they symply step in that energy "line" and Harness it to convert it into "Work".

  • He wow! THIS IS GREAT WORK!

    I think not many people here understand how special this is... :-(

    Congrats!

    Richard

  • Seconded. Nice to see the ferrofluid.

    5* :-)

    Geoff.

  • I like the redbulls, nice work 5 stars

  • Thank You!

    It began to produce power.

  • great

  • Thanks, I will continue
