Solar LTD stirling motor / water pump ( Must See )

[tomsbases]

I keep coming back to your video to try to understand how the resonance works.

Do you have any recommendation on how to calculate the mass, forces and spring strength that makes this work? Does it have to be tuned?

Fantastic design- it would work well as a small fountain pump.

ce model est un proto de chez SUNMACHINE

Nice. You look at car engines and most have mechanical or electrical water pump to cool engine. I hope future that wasted heat from overheating engines is instead utilized to power the pumping of water that cools the engine - a self regulating cooling system.

GENIAL, FELICIDADES

holy shit thats soo cool

I love the idea.

I like that you have the displacer/ regenerator hung in the centre of the clear box and the cooling coils under it.

The gas passes through the cooling cols to the bellows under the coils. when the bellows "shrink" it move the box down leaving the displacer "hanging" due to inertia it moves to the "hot" side... this in turn expands the bellows under the box and pushes the box up, and inertia would have the displacer move down.

[ozykiss]

The resonance of the springs and the mass of the displacer would be an interesting balancing act and I would be surprised if you got this concept to work first go.

[ozykiss]

Interesting that you use 2 sets of bellows and that the water you are pumping is used to cool it in the same bellows under the displacer.

I guess the added copper conductor coils are for greater area spread.

Does the copper bellows set fracture after a while ?

Sehr interessante Stirlingmaschine! Die Funktionsweise ist mir noch nicht ganz klar..

Great engine!

[mowerofdoom]

Great engine! Love the way it moves! I don't fully understand the construction though :(

Plans = :)

;)

[gilbondfac]

Great ! cool! where is the plan

[drefds]

Looks like a Rudy Memin creation, at least based on some of this french Stirling genius designer. Not completely sure. Pretty impressive anyway. Any new data on this would be great.

[SWINGREGORY]

you know : RUDY MEMIN great !

he write 2 books ( only ) for designed hot air motors, in French" ces étranges machines à air chaud, et, les moteurs Stirling 15 plans..."

best regards

[1crazyfocker]

do you have plans a website any thing on this stirling?????

[SWINGREGORY]

no  sorry

[IronGoober]

Very nice! Is the oscillation of the weight of the engine what drives the pump?

[simi112]

I like it very much!

[OleTC]

I love this one. Is there a construction-description to it somewhere?

Kind Regs.
