@dalemi666 Piston Sealing is from graphite filled teflon. Cylinders is from mild steel. Not stainless because I do not plan for the engine to run for long period, only for tests. Base of pistons is aluminium, displacer is from mild steel. Stainless is preferred because of less thermal conductivity. Thanks!
Very nice. One suggestion - you are losing a lot of power in your regenerator!. Try filling the corners of the regenerator with some solid steel cones, so that the air flows into and out of the regenerator like two funnels facing each other. The corners in your regenerator act like dead-space with no air actually flowing there. Dead space steals power from stirling engines. I would not be surprised if you gained more than 5 or 10% power. Thank you for posting, well done!
Great work, i think you could have better output if the belt for the generator was a little short and not wobbling that much, it also looked excessively loose on place. I dont know why after such fine machining you did not detail the out put part of your project, ;) Good luck. Keep us all stirling fans updated.Thanks.
@mkashifafzal Thanks. This engine has fully solved its destination. All detailed measurements will be executed on a next model that I worked on. See on the next year :)
Hi - have you calcualted the acutal efficency? You have power in and power out.. (as you say - it will never be over 50% - but I bet it is quite lower than that.) - oh 3kw in and 220w = 7.3% (just watched the video again) Still very cool!
@samcoinc Hi, sam! I have not calculated efficiency and have not measured hot and cold temperature. I made this engine to test some technical solutions and volumes of excangers and regenerator. Also I tested regenerator with fine screen mesh. All precise measurements will be made on a next engine. I think after half of year. Thanks.
Top of the class for stirling engine builders - well done! I hope your success motivates you to achieving even better results, just as your success motivates us all with an interest in stirling engines! Thanks for sharing your work.
Congratulations! You are the first to use the GCS to create a real Stirling engine. We have even better ways now. Come join us. Tom owner-sesusa list - author of GCS spreadsheet. Please go to sesusa tech group and join the list.
@TheSESUSA Thank you Tom! I use the table every day for an year... No one can do better calculation. Now I've start to design a new engine with the technique.
@barumman Thank you, Master! Your videos about stirlings was a first information I got. I Knew nothing about it before. 2 years back I saw your rombic engine and was impressed. Now I can do it :))
@SCENARIOBABY and to All Stirling people. I tink plans worth nothing. It depends on your equipment only. And on materials you can obtain. Fluid calculations is really worth.
Wow! I'm impressed by the work you've put into this engine! I like the balanced yoke mechanism - are you happy with how it works? I know there are a lot of joints and bearings, but if the result is good it might be worth it. Well done!
@approtechie Thanks! The balanced mechanism remove 95% of pistons reciprocating mass. It is good. Conventional Ross Yoke have a huge disbalance that can't be removed by only crank mass.
Hello, can you explain what is the material of pistons seals and cilinder ??
thank you!

Ребята классно ! Вы молодец, много поработали
над ним. Один совет, если не возражаете...
Большая площадь фланцов и множество стыков
способствуют большей потерии тепла = снижение
КПД и мощности. Желаю успехов )))

great job! very good video montage of your engine. I liked the illustrations of how the engine works.
