Oh, I commented other video before saw this one. You did exactly as I predict - making metal (I suggested copper, but no matter) cold part. Is that working better than all glass one?
Put a lot of sunlight reflecters focusing the light to an insulated container with a lot of rocks and oil so it can stay hot over night. Dip inside the wall of the container with a lot of the tiny engines. They can generate electricity as long as container is hot.
Piston is a hard aluminium alloy which was machined on a lathe, then finished and polished by hand. If I were to do it again, I would use graphite. The aluminium can score and bind quite easily.
I was convinced I replied to you on this some time ago. Sorry. Parts were made by me. You're question on scaling - I really don't know!! Dimensional data for you: Hot tube diameter=20mm Hot tube length=120mm Wire wool length=60-80mm piston diameter=24mm piston movement=22mm hole size (between hot and cold sides)=5mm flywheel=95 grams Good luck if you decide to build one! Kind regards.
Hi. Not sure what information you would like to have. There are no parts that can't be seen in the video and the scaling of most of these engines is about the same for all the component parts. Let me know if there's something more specific you need :-)
Hi again. It's running on a alcohol flame which has got to be up in the 200+ C region I would guess.
I'm not manufacturing these from drawings, and the dimensions aren't really critical. Low friction is the key and plenty of heat. I'd suggest you have a good look at various peoples designs and then make the best copy you can. Hope this helps. Geoff.
i like it. Did you make all the parts? or bought it? Can u share some more details? tnx. I want to buy one or make one myself. If you did it yourself, do u think u can make a bigger scale? if not, why?
what makes this laminar

@SuperWiz666 from what I can see, absolutely nothing.... maybe they meant low friction???

Dear Geoff,nice work,wish be your neighbor!!
the stack,what's the length of it ? what diamesion of the opening that face to the scrobber ,and the other side that face to the piston?
what is the most critical (such as propotion) beside the friction of the piston?
what's the different if the satck all in the tube and or seperated two tube?
thank you very much?

Buenas tardes, alguien me puede decir por favor para qué es el material negro dentro del tubo, y qué material es?

I cant say I understand the principals at work here, but I'm impressed by the engineering. Very nicely put together.

what did you use as a piston and how did you make it?

@mowerofdoom well like the mechanics and stuff I want to try to replicate this one. Does this design require a high change in temperature?
