haha, i discovered this by accident but i didn't know what caused it until i saw your video. i actually tried to stop the up&down because i wanted a steady steam output.
It's kind of an embarassing question but how did you connect the plastic tube to the copper one, when ever i reach the boiling point it tends to slip off or get an air leak because of the pressure?
it is a Fluidyne Stirling Engine.... sorry to say it dude but good job on coming up with it on your own, but if you loo up that type of stirling you will see it is the same the part that goes way up (clear vinyl tube) is the work piston you can hook it up tp a pump to pump water....thins like that.
I have built a Fluidynes in the past and have read about them but the configuration of this liquid piston steam engine is quite a bit different from the Fluidyne and is simpler.
Hi Nyle, I think you will find that this engine is a water pulsejet. Peter Payne's US Patent Applications describe how they work. They are related to the toy "pop pop" boats. I knew they could be used as a pump but could not get one to work. This is the first time I have seen one used in this mode. Very good.
library thinkquest org 29033 gather/qaboard messages 111 html you will need to adjust this url lol
Check that out then check out pop pop indian engines very old from when Sterling was alive Idian did it different lol.
Wel done making that and thinking of it without knowing but better to read up first re inventing the wheel is a soul destroying thing.

@nylesteiner It's effectively the same as a Pop Pop boat engine.

I think even with a little steam it will run at half the hz of either a rijke tube resonator or sondhauss tube resonator not sure why though.
I posted mine (in case you wanted to see.

Very interesting. Can you invision a possible practicle use for it? Some sort of a pump maybe?
