One thing I'd like to know is what kind of efficiency are you getting? How big is your solar collector? How big would a collector need to be to run a generator for a certain number of households. Stuff like that. Also, how would we solve the problem of the Sun not shining 24/7. But I think this is really a cool idea and demonstration.
Good effort but Force = mass x acceleration. You have acceleration but little mass. I recon the will not have enough force to generate any good usable energy. Scale it up.
this is really cool! I think this could be used in some of the poorest nations in the world. Simple materials cheap durable and easy to maintain. Plus the act of creating steam can purify the water. You could use it to turn river water into clean drinking water. The energy created could be used to pump the water to a village. Great idea! You should get this out to the world.
You pay little attention to the heat source which is the miracle of the thing that solar lens would not be available in olden times is it plastic or glass?????
Can I circumvent the steam engine all together by pushing the steam through a Pelton wheel? I want to run a 2400 watt generator. Generator is currently driven by a 5 H.P B&S gasoline engine that produces 7.66 torque ft. lbs @ 3000 rpms. Can we get steam from a steam hose sprayed into a Pelton wheel that can replicate the numbers from the 5 HP motor?.
@coldwarvet75 You would need a lens probably 30'x30' and a high quality mini turbine and it probably won't work because the steam is too wet. Better to just buy the solar panels or gasify firewood into the generator.
And you thought using a panel of solar collectors to direct light is not on the heater and the panel type of solar collector efficiency will be higher than you can even generate energy
Brilliant. There doesn't seem to be much science here though... Perhaps coupling it to some kind of generator and attempting to measure the power output would be somewhat more useful than poking it with a f***ing stick? No?
Someone should tell Mike Brown to watch this video - he doesn't believe a steam engine can be successfully be powered from a solar steam boiler. How many watts would that engine produce?
Someone should tell Mike Brown to watch this video - he doesn't believe a steam engine can be successfully be powered from a steam boiler. How many watts would that engine produce?
@ThomasandFriends1100 What I don't understand is where the problem is diverting some of the power from the generator to run a small programmable circuit board/motor to track the sun's movement and turn to stay with it.
Id recommend getting a revolution governor for that engine if you actually want to use the engine for anything. A displacement oiler probably wouldn't hurt either.
Good job with the engine though. And best of luck should you attempt to use it.

really impresed wit dis fukn vid,how easy would it be 2 keep mirror dome thingy concentering optimim levels on pipe using a guiding system for constant efficiency,den use it as a charging unit using alternator or better more eficient systems,hey cool work gonna luk 4 more vids rite now
forgive me for sounding ignorant but ive seen a few videos now of engines which run off solar power. the question on my mind is, can they actually power anything worthwhile? i understand it is pretty cool that you have a small engine which will run off the sun but it would be even better if it powered something
@uponmysoapbox1 If you use solar panels, and the latest in solar engines you can power a multitude of things. How practical they are? That is yet to be determined.
You can put a band pulley to a motor generator or those who have remote control cars, battery and you can put an LED or bulb 3v for you to emit electricity
dont listen to those people all they can do is harnes the batteries power into thier remote controll while they sit on thier fat ass, while you in the other hand probably make some mor emoney off the clicks and educate people on how solar energy works and all they do is try to sound arogant and stupid.

It's clear that is a Welesco engine, but how long did you hold that lens in such a big tube for generating this amount of vapor ? did you helped this with any other source ?
With an Ballon like lab. glass, the heat transfer could be much faster and with only half the inner part painted black, would be great seeing that !
Just thoughts, I'm not a green tech lover, but keep up the good work. it's good to see ideas shared, Good ideas are shared ideas !
the steam engine is not the most efficient way to get power from the sun if you do your research a parabolic solar dish which in already in use in several sun farms has the highest sun to grid power ratio certified the the good people at guiness world records green power hippies please don't display stupid technology to others that you think is amazing its already been done and been proven less efficient
well fine ofcourse there are more efficient means for everything but you are talking as if hes just wasted alot of energy and resources in making and running this. Its a harmless steam motor thats cheap and reliable and ur slagging it off like its using 4 gallons of fuel a minute
Interesting can you calculate the power you're generating???....what would be more interesting would be if you could get a SMALL Steam TURBINE and calculate how much energy you can get with that
OK ok, I get it. It's a toy. Had one as a kid. Who doesn't want to harness solar? But DO something with it. Great, it starts and stops unlimited times, scrapes a knife blade, and resists a stick trying to stop it. And does 1700 RPM no load.
Guess I'm saying the video shows a great demo, but get's a little old just watching it being played with over and over.
I think just using a small bicycle generator, or something, to show work being done, would add a lot to this demonstration.
Man, I like it! I work in Small Engines (Briggs & Stratton). Connect an Alternator or Mini-Rotor from a small Generator to see how much power that will produce. You've all ready got 1700 RPMS (Idle speed on most engines) and it doesn't stop as easy as most Stirling engines. Start producing some Wattage, chief!...

Cool experiment.I wonder if anyone has made a larger funtioning version.Just off the top of my head,you could put some magnets on that flywheel ,add some coils and you have a solar generator.I know they have solar panels already.
We really need cheap and long lasting batteries to make this stuff work. Or what if you had a giant spring under your house and you wind it up with wind and solar power when its putting out power and use the potential energy at night and low wind conditions. How big of a spring would it take? I'm not an engineer have no Idea if it's practical to do it like this. Or how about a flywhell?, a massive one that floats on magnets to reduce fristion and noise? cmon we gotta reduce oil use dramatically
So is this a small scale of a larger project that you intend to scale up. And does it break even or come close to producing enough energy to justify its creation. just curious.
I have an old weed eater engine in my basement, i might try and modify that to run on steam, not sure about the 2-stroke deisgn though, might have to add some fancy shmancy valves :)
@aflo661 Theres a few videos of people who converted gas engines to steam on youtube. From what i gather 2 strokes are better to use than 4, and its not overly difficult. try searching "gas to steam conversion"
I invented a breakthrough renewable source of energy that violates the law of energy conservation. I have a proof that there are phenomena that violate the law of energy conservation. I am looking for $6M for a prototype and patents.
bigger mirror, bigger tube and bigger engine, connect to generator and battery or if u like heavy stuff cnnectit to pump and hydraulic accumulator (theyre primitive, cheap and can store lots of power) and u have free energy, buffered so 24/7 :)
lol? why? in fact, that's not a bad idea at all. Think about, you don't have to use current which you do have to pay for. And you can chagre your phone's battery. Ok, you can say 'it's a minor solution', but I say that's the point you can start from to go further to major applications.
There is slight torque, not enough to hold speed under load unless in is very small, and yes you are right scaling up could provide more torque given there is sufficient steam pressure.
I saw these guys on tv once, who put a bunch of mirrors on a hillside and hooked them up to computer to track the sun and keep them focused on one spot. It melted thick steel. It was pretty cool. Maybe you could launch a bunch up into space and focus them all on a huge boiler and it stayed on day and night. Or you could focus them on your enemies nuclear plants/bridges/capital buildings/commercial centers and destroy them.
With modern controls, these a fresnel lens and a steam engine could be a good alternative. Example: have a engine a bit larger then this with a fresnel lens, and a DC generator hooked up. You could power a circuit boards, solenoids, motors (pumps) the list goes on; all to make this thing run at its peak efficiency and maybe it could run as a total independent system
hi it would be possible to use the engine to run an electric generator to power an equivalent sized electric engine with lithium batteries for a car or whatever. also the solar power can be used to generate this electric power for storage when you park a car while doing errands etc. or at home in the driveway, when its sunny. so as long as there is some reasonable supply of sunny weather, one will have plenty of power for a car or truck. having two engines is initially costly but doable.
@videoblast doesn't need to run at night, you use batteries that charge with solar power to supplement the need for power in cloudy spells or at night.
either ways, even if you wouldn't have batteries, if you pay less then half of your original power bill since your only using grid power at night and that's only early night since your going to eventually go to bed, when you nearly use no grid power, it's has great implications for savings on power bills.
Copper tubing is good to about 200 psi, build one,but when you put on the end caps,the trick is to cut threads on them and the pipe ,and to screw them closed before soddering them.
The whole thing,is a good Idea,but he needs to learn about flash boilers and injection feed pumps for the boilers,
For the steam volume to be sustained ,
the boiler must be at max temp,and have the water sprayed in to it in short bursts, by volume of steam,used. like the old stanly steam car boiler but small,and heated by sun light ,not fire.
some really good stuff here

One needs to consider what Dan is showing us here. The concept
that steam generated by the Sun can be used to power a motor to
produce a useable energy source. Albeit the generator is practically
palm sized the concept is there to be transferred to a larger scale
if the need and the desire were present to do so.

Interesting can you calculate the power you're generating???....what would be more interesting would be if you could get a SMALL Steam TURBINE and calculate how much energy you can get with that
terry1919 1 year ago
OK ok, I get it. It's a toy. Had one as a kid. Who doesn't want to harness solar? But DO something with it. Great, it starts and stops unlimited times, scrapes a knife blade, and resists a stick trying to stop it. And does 1700 RPM no load.
Guess I'm saying the video shows a great demo, but get's a little old just watching it being played with over and over.
I think just using a small bicycle generator, or something, to show work being done, would add a lot to this demonstration.

Nice rpms but is there enough torque to spin a generator.
frankt04 1 year ago
Man, I like it! I work in Small Engines (Briggs & Stratton). Connect an Alternator or Mini-Rotor from a small Generator to see how much power that will produce. You've all ready got 1700 RPMS (Idle speed on most engines) and it doesn't stop as easy as most Stirling engines. Start producing some Wattage, chief!...

Cool experiment.I wonder if anyone has made a larger funtioning version.Just off the top of my head,you could put some magnets on that flywheel ,add some coils and you have a solar generator.I know they have solar panels already.

We really need cheap and long lasting batteries to make this stuff work. Or what if you had a giant spring under your house and you wind it up with wind and solar power when its putting out power and use the potential energy at night and low wind conditions. How big of a spring would it take? I'm not an engineer have no Idea if it's practical to do it like this. Or how about a flywhell?, a massive one that floats on magnets to reduce fristion and noise? cmon we gotta reduce oil use dramatically
MrROTD 1 year ago
So is this a small scale of a larger project that you intend to scale up. And does it break even or come close to producing enough energy to justify its creation. just curious.

I have an old weed eater engine in my basement, i might try and modify that to run on steam, not sure about the 2-stroke deisgn though, might have to add some fancy shmancy valves :)

@aflo661 Theres a few videos of people who converted gas engines to steam on youtube. From what i gather 2 strokes are better to use than 4, and its not overly difficult. try searching "gas to steam conversion"

bigger mirror, bigger tube and bigger engine, connect to generator and battery or if u like heavy stuff cnnectit to pump and hydraulic accumulator (theyre primitive, cheap and can store lots of power) and u have free energy, buffered so 24/7 :)

you could use a small motor attached to the steam engine and charge 1 AA battery , lol..

lol? why? in fact, that's not a bad idea at all. Think about, you don't have to use current which you do have to pay for. And you can chagre your phone's battery. Ok, you can say 'it's a minor solution', but I say that's the point you can start from to go further to major applications.

This seems like a lot of work and a lot of effort to run that tiny little engine. A C battery could run that engine just as well.

good in theory but no torque. going up in scale wouldnt have the same affect.
bobstereo 1 year ago
There is slight torque, not enough to hold speed under load unless in is very small, and yes you are right scaling up could provide more torque given there is sufficient steam pressure.

I saw these guys on tv once, who put a bunch of mirrors on a hillside and hooked them up to computer to track the sun and keep them focused on one spot. It melted thick steel. It was pretty cool. Maybe you could launch a bunch up into space and focus them all on a huge boiler and it stayed on day and night. Or you could focus them on your enemies nuclear plants/bridges/capital buildings/commercial centers and destroy them.

With modern controls, these a fresnel lens and a steam engine could be a good alternative. Example: have a engine a bit larger then this with a fresnel lens, and a DC generator hooked up. You could power a circuit boards, solenoids, motors (pumps) the list goes on; all to make this thing run at its peak efficiency and maybe it could run as a total independent system

hi it would be possible to use the engine to run an electric generator to power an equivalent sized electric engine with lithium batteries for a car or whatever. also the solar power can be used to generate this electric power for storage when you park a car while doing errands etc. or at home in the driveway, when its sunny. so as long as there is some reasonable supply of sunny weather, one will have plenty of power for a car or truck. having two engines is initially costly but doable.

@videoblast how well does your car run after peak oil?
postpeakman 1 year ago
@videoblast doesn't need to run at night, you use batteries that charge with solar power to supplement the need for power in cloudy spells or at night.
either ways, even if you wouldn't have batteries, if you pay less then half of your original power bill since your only using grid power at night and that's only early night since your going to eventually go to bed, when you nearly use no grid power, it's has great implications for savings on power bills.

Copper tubing is good to about 200 psi, build one,but when you put on the end caps,the trick is to cut threads on them and the pipe ,and to screw them closed before soddering them.

The whole thing,is a good Idea,but he needs to learn about flash boilers and injection feed pumps for the boilers,
For the steam volume to be sustained ,
the boiler must be at max temp,and have the water sprayed in to it in short bursts, by volume of steam,used. like the old stanly steam car boiler but small,and heated by sun light ,not fire.
