Making an LTD stirling engine

[willtitania]

Excellent video! I think all graphite parts can be replaced with metal ones, and the graphite could serve as a lubricant. All you need is to use soft pencil (2B, 4B) and fully cover the cylinders from inside, pistons and all other parts where friction occurs. If somebody is willing to test this please share your results. It could cause the necessity to repeat the graphite cover from time to time, while original solution is permanent, but probably more difficult to complete.

Excellent craftsmanship! Hats off to you and 2 thumbs up!  I hope you are continuing your interests in this area and I wish you the very best of good fortune in it.

[backyardsounds]

This is just excellent! Seeing that the graphite is hard to come by but needed to help with friction, have you considered maybe a white metal alloy of possibly tin and lead, since they are readily available? Or possibly some other common alloy of white metals that would be somewhat of a lubricant?

thanx god



[Ravi2day]

Really Excellent video and commentary

Never seen nor heard of anything like this till now i totally agree

please more vedios and i wish you the best

Thank you

H Question. does the hole where the wire go trough from the dispenser need to be very small?

[SwarthySkinnedOne]

Never seen nor heard of anything like this till now. Why does it do what it does, this Whachamacallit engine? No batteries, no gasoline? How does it operate without electricity or some kind of combustion process. How them pittles go up and down making the circuloptic spin? I mean what is the underlying principle? Looked very involved, like you had to go through hell and high water in building this little dooglewiggie-wombat-wipplepupp­y & make the coloumbs in the air spin out frm rotationals SX.

Goed gedaan jochie +

Never mind the bollocks

[Adrie1956]

Goed stukje vakwerk jongeman.Het ziet er goed uit en een ieder die er een negatief commentaar oplevert moet er zelf maar eens een bouwen.

Proviciat !!!

[wyrrox]

Well done, very nice and neat.

[picardkid]

Very well done. And THANK YOU for not carping on about "free energy from the miraculous Stirling Engine." You would not believe the idiots on YouTube who somehow managed to build one but don't know one of the fundamental laws of Thermodynamics...

[RaJinRIN]

My boyfriend says you're a sheepfucking bastard

[p00pindas00p]

Amen to that. Nice video, you sheepfucking bastard.

[MrSwifty2]

@p00pindas00p fucko u weird just beacuse he has brains and u havent invented anything jelouse fuck

[p00pindas00p]

@MrSwifty2 When did I indicate that I'm jealous? Quote me. Please.

Perhaps you lack the necessary context to understand. You might consider asking some other Australian who they might refer to as a "sheepfucker".

Alternatively, you may already know who might be considered a "sheepfucker" and perhaps you're offended because it's a "racist term". In this case, I would suggest that you are too sensitive for life. There's far worse to say than that which indicates your birth place or heritage.

where are you from? That's an accent i can't distinguish

@mikelwhitlock Its New Zealand Accent

[sashback]

Do not use gloves with a bench grinder!

[tikifish28]

very nice!

[barticasun]

Very concise. Nice video

[EmperorOfMars]

First I was like, "oh what an elegant design" then I noticed it was just on the ground with no heat source "aww shit"

[Xxfadedshadows1xX]

i do not know what ur saying but thats cool

[drychalice]

Thank you for sharing that.

[Landrew0]

"coneected"

[GilHeron]

Awesome dude, this is what Youtube is for!!

[inview1]

Excellent job in nutting it out, making up the parts and doing a great commentary video. I am sure you will go on to great things.

We have some massive problems with the world economy at the moment, what about nutting out something that will fix that too :)

All the best.

[Soulrider2012]

I agree that this is the best video I've seen so far on a step by step on building a sterling engine. Very well done and explained. It's great that you included what didn't work as well as what did so people can learn from what you have already done. Thank you for taking the time to make and post a very informative and well done video.

[MrOlird]

Hi!

Would you like send this engine's plan? Please...

[NationalKd]

Its the best tutorial.

 Thank you very much.

[tiredlight]

excellent! the cometary is perfect!

greetings from Germany

[specallez]

Really good video, thanks.

[Aninja21]

these things still amaze me

[djjason9993]

best video

[mowerofdoom]

Excellent video and commentary. There are a lot opf people out there who will find this very useful. Nice one :-)

[pryonubby]

thanks - it did take a while so hopefully some use come out of it :)

[kastrup2dk]

I agree philxter their best video on building stirling engines.

here is an idea to Holle seal tightly. by magnetic oil and piston in steel so oil pulling for a piston and seal tightly with minimum frikcion

oily suspension.

Ferro-Fluid

[MARKOSDM]

Very good ¡ Very ingenious the bearigs points ¡

[dashitta]

zalig ik ben reeds enige tijd opzoek naar plannen en eindelijk kan mijn zoektocht hier stoppen MERCI,

heeft u toevallig ook plannen voor een gewone sirling?

[AlfistaWayne]

Beautifully done ! Thank you for such a thorough explanation and demonstration. Very inspiring !

[ThePinkzepplin]

i think its bad ass

[tadeuszsztajnert]

Very nice. Thank you! :D

[pryonubby]

Mmm, thats a hard one cause the aluminium plates were probably one of the hardest components to make. You could just get sheet aluminium, shape it into a circle and just glue the cylinder straight onto it. Not too sure sorry
