HOME MADE STIRLING ENGINE RUNING ON BOILING WATER VERY FAST

[bistro4]

That's 300 rpm

[Soulrider2012]

Very nice engine. It's looks good and runs well. However, it's not doing anywhere near 500-600 RPM in the video. It would have to be doing 10rpms a second to be doing 600 rpms which it clearly isn't. That would be very unusual running off of hot water.

@Soulrider2012

i have now put a rpm light check on it and later found out it was 350rpm

thanks for your in put

@katieswan1234567thanks for the video.... I will like to see a combination of hh2 dry cell with the stirling and a motor generator ,and the electricity that generates operate the dry cell and burn the hh2 to put some heat at the piston and ...if you can creat a good movment with a big wheel probably you can generate many electricity with a ac motor ..system close only with water :)...

good work

That's a very beautiful and elegantly built sterling engine. Good work!

[offspringfanman96]

is that a nitro engine block i see?

[jcbiddulph]

sounds about 300-400rpm

[cazabeto]

Congratulations. Nice work.

how do you make the regenerater thing on the displacer? the round hole with somthing filling it

[katieswan1234567]

you may need plans to give u the ratio of regenerator to to size of your motor.

or just experenent can allso work

u just cut round holes evenly spaced

then put light breathablefoame in the holes

glue them in make sure it is no thicker than the displacer

good luck

Nice Job, Change the battery in your smoke detector :)

[deriem1]

put a saw-blade on that

[masterpoop67]

i made one theres no toque it wouldnt work

[katieswan1234567]

it takes a lot of patience and time it took me weeks to work out the balance problems

[Live1052]

Whats the device attached to the baseplate with the pulley wheel on it? It wasn't being driven.

[katieswan1234567]

it is a music box have a look at my other videos and u can see it running

[Gunstick]

I saw another engine which had a displacer out of steel wool so it's becoming a regenerator. Would that help improving a LTD engine?

[katieswan1234567]

to startwith it is to heavy. on my sun runing stirling video the displacer i used part foam and balsa wood to help keep it stiff and stop it warpping it is painted blue it was to heavy and could not balanced accuratly enough.ithen made a foam cuter and now make them from foam the best thing i ever did. with the balsa the moter ran about 6degrees c difference from top plat to bottom now with foam it runs as low as 3 c. so i found weight is very inportant and hard to balance out

[katieswan1234567]

the other thing is that there is ratios u need to follow it may not be moving enough of the air from cold side to hot and be loosing power that way.hop i could help

[mowerofdoom]

Excellent engine. Nice work!

I'd be interested to know what you have used for regenerator material.

p.s. is that your smoke alarm going off?!

[katieswan1234567]

good guess you did well to pick up it is my smoke alarm.

i used a packing foam that some one posed somethik to me.the plans said u can use airfilter foam if u can not find uour size put it in oven and flatern it between two bords and heat the oven

[mowerofdoom]

Thanks.
