New stirling engine

[lupischuckle]

So.... where can I buy one?

[K1Ri11]

why dont they use these on cars

[HPG4TRUTH]

What does this do? Power source?

[kemup]

It's videos like this that show inventions like this that make me feel as though i haven't done sh*t with my life.

[yx92ify]

how?

[Galoag2012]

is this alien technology?

[JenMichel100]

@Galoag2012

yeah it is

[OmuNegru06]

but will it run crysis

[AustinRoepke]

This brings back a lot of memories of my first thermodynamics class...

[Djsolidstate420]

do you know what kinda rpm this thing can put out, what does it run on?

[firstscout]

@Djsolidstate420 Hot air

[Starsbleedsky]

I need to get these for my meth lab! Fast cookin!

[topherhoffmanchris]

Nice, imo develop it to power a generator, via the flywheel. Basically as the speed increases has the magnet which engages the generator get closer, as it slows down it gets further allowing for it to pick up an efficient speed, do this then just put it on an Remote control car.

[erevovxl]

@topherhoffmanchris post a video when its done

[CalmeRyowl]

is there a reason these arent used in cars???

[bjorno]

@CalmeRyowl

They do not produce enough low end torque. Notice how easy it was for him to stop the engine with his finger?

[Jaxterpeace]

anyone wanna tell me how this dosen't break the law of conservation of energy?

[IgorAlvesAS]

@Jaxterpeace LOL! it is a stirling engine, it works with thermal difference. Study about it and you will see that the stirling engine's doesn't break any law.

[puffles234]

2500 rpm

[standamanisdabest]

I WANT

[WizzleThump]

Put some more flywheels on the ends with magnets and an alternator around them and this would crank out some power!

[toobroke2fight]

@WizzleThump almost correct, A PMA motor is what your thinking of. An alternator is not as efficient and uses electricity to create the magnetic field! I bet this little thing could put out enough to light a room with LED's. Good speed, but not great on torque! Joe

[fordwillkillyou]

Very Impressive!

[ProcureEminence]

Looks awesome!

[fairyheli2]

power?

[fairyheli2]

alpha, beta, or gamma?

[sneekylinux]

i just gotta build me one of these !!!!

[coolaidkiller101]

if only a bigger version would be avab at least you wouldnt be abel to stop it with ya fingers

[therandomexample]

Amazing! we must not let this get to the serfs!

"Whats that you got there, sir?"

"NOTHING! now get back to your tilling!"

[VIassasin]

@therandomexample its on ebay

[scaredgoober]

OMG I WANT ONE SO BAD!!!!!

[fifi6popo]

SUPER COOL FANTASTIC!!

[nickelisio]

Did you build this, or assemble it from a kit, or buy it? Regardless, very cool little engine.

[hrundel007]

wow great! i'm very very like it

[bojp83]

wow.. it's beautiful! could you send me technical data of this engine?

[blasius50]

Complimenti e Favoloso

[sebairaf3]

it's an alpha kind?¿

[cyberteque]

Great motor!

Sounds like it has some serious power!

Very pretty as well

[adagioforsoccer]

very very fast

[brownm279]

Sterling engines are in use on nuclear subs today because they are much quieter than conventional engines - the configuration is also much more efficient. The problem is that it takes a lot of energy to create minimal work. They will remain a hobby toy unless you have a nuclear power plant to create enough energy to drive one. Sunshine is not going to do it, or it would have already. These engines have been around for a long long time.

[JEM53087]

There are more applications for stirling engines than just nuclear submarines brownm279. Check out Stirling Energy System's mirror array for sun powered stirling generators. Also the stirling thermodynamic cycle is equivalent to the carnot cycle in thermo efficiency. Check your facts.

[bhweller]

that is really cool. that is something I would like to see scaled up and see how efficient it is in a car. if you ran out of "gas" you could pick up some weeds and banana peals and throw it in the burner and off you go.

[GundamKnight07]

you really can't control how much heat goes to them and a throttle would be difficult

[565Customz]

@GundamKnight07 you can use a bleed off valve for throttle control...or if your using hydrogen or some gas you dont want to use, you could have a cooler that was adjustable...the bigger the cooler the more temp difference and the faster it runs.

[yoyodude7407]

burn some magnesium under there. woosh!

[PyroEvil]

... or thermite !

[dreynip]

wow, that is extremely fast

[nirajahowen]

very nice!!

[iugey]

yo dawg datz like steampunk or some shit!!!

[NickBK007]

i don't suppose you know where i could find the plans to build one, do you? or buy one? would be a great thing to have...

[zker666]

damn

[karlostergaard]

where can i buy one , i mean where are the factory , mabye i like to buy more than  one

[docjhp]

What applications? Never heard of stirling-powered models.

[musicalmiller]

they have solar powered ones that generate electricity, if im not mistaken

[DocLow]

Simple power generation - It's cheaper than PV cells if I'm not mistaken - The idea is simple, make a parabolic mirror, place the section to be heated in the focus and point it towards the sun. The focused beam of light heats up the cylinder, and you get power.

[striderg3]

doesn't sound too simple.. lol

[SUPerFreakUsa]

I like that heatshield .. And it seems to make a big difference as that lil motor is "gettin it "

[w00taz]

Nice.

[HugMyNutz]

Germans make the best stuff

[syikin123]

how rpm you get..

[potassiumperchlorate]

Nice pease of engineering.

[dark1entity2005]

is that sensitive enough to run off the heat of your hand?

[SockPupp]

this is not a low temperature difference engine, this kind runs off of a flame

[QuadUnit]

This is a Boehm Stirling engine... you can buy these in a kit form

[alienoutlaw3]

plz tell me where to buy this

[mrbhave]

How much torque would you figure it produces?

[PIONNEER55]

not much, did you see how easy he stopped it?

[ayin613]

A true work of art.

[Nekromata]

Professional and Beautiful.

[greybeardd]

that's a really pretty piece of machinery.

[Utbult78]

does anyone knows the name of the guy who built this stirling engine?

[JamesMichaelNewton]

Does anyone know where I could get the little burners this is using? and how large they are? I'm looking for a very small alcohol burner.

[magicalmachines]

To find out more about how these amazing machines work check out my site :)

[fafnir665]

Nah, did you see how easy it was to stop? Just a toy, not a tool...

[danz409]

you could probably hook that up to a small generator and power quite a few LED lights.. 2 candles powering enough lights for your entire house would be quite the breakthrough!

[cyborgtroy]

No, Stirlings have a very low power-to-volume ratio. This one could probably power an LED or two, but not enough LEDs to light anything.

[dingo27mobile]

vell i think the better light would be from that 2 candles, right? :D

[cyborgtroy]

lol yeah but somebody was asking about lighting so I had to explain the power-to-size ratio of Stirlings to them.

[ZisMyName]

pretty sure that's the fastest stirling I've seen

[30GB]

holy shit thats fast

[blueshadow1996]

That is pretty cool

[jelleoelle]

Where's the fun?

[dabuddha669]

haha, oops, posted a comment before i saw.

[dabuddha669]

ok, what? where is the stored or potential energy of this thing?

[heliovoltaico]

muy bien diseñado, podría ser un buen generador electrico funcionando con biomasa

[Marine2171]

You can find these on line, I found several on ebay. They are made in Germany, if I recall correctly, and will cost $300-500 US.

[pfchall]

where's a basic blueprint or design it s sweet

[arandaneri]

Where do you buy this machine(s) or parts for this device(s)? I'd like to get one. It looks and performs very cool!

[Thewalldi]

i never see that powerfull stirling engine. are y have any construction plan??

[aandlbdcinc]

I never heard of this engin

[chardnj]

Where can you used it? he touch it a little bit and stop.

[aandlbdcinc]

just add tourqe

[giammarinogia]

eccezionale!!!!!!

[tunderman66]

Hey, this is good! I can hear the engine can give a good and stable power!

[brianvbonini]

That's a Boehm Stirling Engine. You can can get them complete or as kits you assemble yourself. Just Google for it, they're readily available and range in price from $200 - $900.

[fedders]

shit, i wont even spend a dollar on a lego toy

[synison]

excellent work !

[kiev786]

where can i buy that engine,

[osvcoira]

Realmente una obra de arte

[nathanxr]

that is a fucking excellent engine my friend

[nativesun]

where did you get that stirling engine? did you build it yourself. If you bought it - let us know where we can buy one as well.

[Thomsonduke]

Absolut genial!!!

[mrlowdangle]

maximus coolus

me likus muchos

[Jewoll]

AWESOME

[aviers]

best of all is that "steampunk" design :)

[musicplayer321]

You should attach a ...Drive? Rod thing, like in a normal car engine, like a belt that comes down off one of the wheels, and then to a drive shaft, to a pair of wheels, for shits and giggles, it would be really interesting to see how well this engine could turn out to be.

[KB3PGM]

That is Awesome, now to build one that uses the solar collectors, fresnels, and such

[NapierdalaczXXX]

Fajny, ale nadal słaby. Nadaje się już jednak do ładowania akumulatorków. Ja mam inny pomysł na swój silnik-część zanurzona w wodzie, część ogrzewana słońcem. W ten sposób działało by bez dodatkowego ogrzewania.

[blueminies]

How can i get one of this?

[revelinabandon]

@blueminies I'd like to know as well. That is a thing of beauty.

[zeophoto]

I don't know why you got two thumbs down, that was a fine question. It is just a novelty item however, a woman would buy it for the guy who has everything, and nobody will run this design for anything functional. The only thing keeping this toy from slowing to a stop via heat transfer is how fast the mechanism's ancillaries are turning, creating the cooling effect. He's a good machinist, but I've yet to see a lubrication system from any kit designer, as well, to maintain cooling.

[zeophoto]

This was for locouk previously

[balloonfetishist]

Looks like the future to me.

[elliotcocofishing]

i'm gonna put one on my motorbike!

[itsblockdog]

Nice machinery! Excellent evolution, thrilled of it's advance and concept!

[simbelarium]

Fascinating!!!

[locouk]

Thats an amazing bit of engineering. Whats the max RPM at room temp?

[blkmk4]

where can i buy one beauty like this? thx

[Someoneizalive]

i think he made this on his own

[Someoneizalive]

i think he made this on his own

[Someoneizalive]

i think he made this on his own

[cristea93]

you are the best

[chowbelly]

fantastico

[ShinsengumiTaicho1]

I don't know about it running on cold alone to produce the temp difference, but theoretically using a heat driven Stirling Engine works more efficiently in colder environments, so I'd love to see a Stirling working at -4C!

[cyborgtroy]

epic win.

[ShinsengumiTaicho1]

Excellent job! How's that torque on that beauty?

[twirlywirly55]

hi

i just got one of them what fuel did u use in the burners

thanks

[LightningRose]

Yes, apply an ice cube (it may require dry ice to get a large enough temp difference) to the tube in place of the heat and the engine will probably turn in the opposite direction.

Also, if you use a motor to turn the engine, it will act as a refrigerator. Very neat stuff. Google "phillips stirling" for more info.

[LukeSkyscraper]

Re:Pleabargain (0-4C) Honestly I'm not sure. But I think I recall seeing a Low Temperature Differential (LTD) stirling engine running using an ice-cube to create the differential so I'd guess yes (how much power you'd develop is another story mind)

[sirnubenegra]

how did you do this. or did you make it?

[LightningRose]

It's made by Bohm in Germany. Available from several web sites, including the big auction site. Search for "Bohm stirling engine" or "Bohm stirling motor". Also search for the common mis-spellings Boehm and sterling.

[fetterpenner1]

awesome... thats great!!!

[c9ari]

I think that is one of the best looking SE I have ever seen. Hook it to something and make it do some sort of work...

[lal2051973]

ou puis-je acheter ceci?

[caerleon87]

Awesome little engine!!!

[deauzie]

where can i buy one

[spaulding1950]

question, power in versus power out ?

sterling eng have always intrigued me.

how many watts are generated by the flames ?

how much hp. is made ?

the sound generated would suggest about 3600 rpm.

[SH1974]

Wow, what a speed!

(do You know how uch RPM it does? )

Congratulations, this is really a fine piece of workmanship!

[ADavidA123]

This one looks cool

[UTOTSAHANGIN]

nice

[samoht1977]

RPM GALORE!!!!

[ObiTrev]

looks like something out of H.G. Wells. What you need to do is hook it up to a small electric generator. Use the electric generator to split hydrogen from oxogen in water, and direct the hydrogen gas flow to the flames to keep them burning, then remove the candles and let the engine run directly on the power of water.

[jcrubin78]

However splitting water into gas would require roughly three times the energy than the gas provides. That would assume that 100% of the heat of the burning gas would then power the motor which it doesnt.

[ObiTrev]

Modify it to recycle the cold and hot air lost from the pistants by puting them in glass tubes with copper valves controlled by the pistants to pump the air into tubes that lead a copper pipe. Cold air would be pumped to the bottom and hot to the top. The pistsnt system will then pump the hot air to the cold pistant, and the cold air to the hot pystant. A flame will heat the pipe at the top. Understand?

[caerleon87]

Hi, It would be impossible for this to work as it would be against the laws of physics. It is a nice idea, but for it to work you would need the process of electrolysis plus the burners and the engine itself to be more than 100 percent efficient. This would obviously be impossible. Nice idea though!!

[ObiTrev]

It's not so much the idea of propetual motion, but recirculating the used air.

[LukeSkyscraper]

A stirling engine DOES pump the cold air from one side to the "hot" cylinder. There is no air "lost" from the pistons, as far as the engine internals are concerned it's a closed system. The air inside is repeatedly heated and cooled which is what moves the pistons around (which in turn move the air around) the burner provides the energy input and the engine changes that into kinetic energy. It needn't be a burner though, you could use any source of heat to power the engine.

[ObiTrev]

Ah I see. I always thought of it more like an advanced steam engine. Hot air rises so it sucks it in and forces a piston up. Cold air sinks so it forces the piston down from the top. It swiches this way with a mechanical relay connected to an opposite piston. I was, as I see now wrong on the air intake idea.

[rodstartube]

beautifull

[chrisbhackett]

and it`s pretty too.

[psarofim]

Using the correct fuel, denatured alcohol, I am now able to operate mine at very, very high speeds. You can find them with a simple google search.

[nuf4n]

look up 'bohm stirling engines'

[jcrubin78]

People. Check the more recent movie i posted, ive doubled the speed of the motor with modifications

[kallstrom74]

anyone know where to get one of those???

[wascillywabbit]

fantastic, could we see it work with two magnifying glasses on the 'boilers'?

regards Eddie, BTW check out my video's I am interested in Stirling motor's.

[douro20]

seriously fast running stirling engine...

[4WHEELEDCAR]

where can we buy these double engines that work with an open flame?

[latheworks]

Gee man, that is one nervous Stirling engine you got there!!! Nice looking too! Engin kit? By who?

[qwertyui90qwertyui90]

Damn, i want this exact model, umm anyone know where to get one ?

[richardebbole]

on Ebay...Bohm

[psarofim]

i have one of these, but for some reason am unable to get it to operate at such high speeds

[4WHEELEDCAR]

psarofim where can we buy these double engines that work with a flame

[richardebbole]

you have to have a flame under it!

[bgineat]

this is nicer than the other model from another upload being a double cam the other was a single but this is a neat model.
