  • Love it !

  • I WANT IT!!! :D im verry jelouse

  • Where are the vents that allow fresh oxygen to get into the tealight chambers?

  • it's very hypnotic...

  • Nice machine.

    I'm just curious as to how much energy is lost due to gyroscopic forces inhibiting roatation?

  • Comment removed

  • Beautiful!!! Candle lamp battery recharger? Let's say there are fifteen of these lamps to light up a romance home, there would be a lot of output of energy. Can it vaporize and condense alcohol inside of the the cylinders? What rpm can the wheel turn?

  • What a beautiful machine!

  • Sterling engines are my favorite.

  • just beautiful!

  • When i grow up, i wanna be a two stroke !

  • I heard that when the magnetic fields of permanent magnets oppose each other, the magnets repolarize and the properties of the magnets themselves become ever-gradually weaker.

    Any ideas to this?

  • Magnets loose about 1% of power every 10 years. So the loss is not that quick. It doesn't matter if they are appose each other or not.  All that does is redirect the magnetic field.

  • i've got to ask, how do the displacers work? I am confused by them, they're not conected to anything other than a spring.

  • but what can it do of actual use?

    i say add somthing to it like uhh... a brass fan blade

  • Imagine it sitting on a rich person's shelf doing just this.

  • You are young... One day you may appreciate such absolute art!?

    Why don't you try to make someting instead of sitting in front of the computer during your spare time?!

  • If you've got time to comment,it means you're on your computer too ;-) then stop telling others what to do.(But the engine is fine, even though it's useless, it's cool annyway.)

  • Look at my videos young one, you will see I do plenty.

    Thank you for your concern anyway :-)

    Telling people to use their brain constructivly is not too harsh is it?

    All the engines you find on you tube prove one thing, that people have huge amounts of skill and determination and put it to good use, even if the result is mainly asthetic, beauty is to be found within the creation. That is enough reason for the building of them.

    (science wise,heat to motion,perfectly presented!)

    Ralph.

  • I think those engines are awesome. I'm gonna build one, one day.

  • Those are candles burning at the bottom, thus it's the extreme heat from the candles that's the source of fuel to run the device. Looks cool, but it just another kind of engine requiring an outside source of energy to run. But what a wonderful prototype!! Simply beautiful!!

  • candles are extreem heat?

    and by the way the sterling engin was invented in 1816 by Robert Sterling. they use them on yachts and submarines because there quiet. so its not really a prototype.

    sorry, kinda had to add that sence i never get the chance to sound smart.

  • Perfect! Look at the balance and the timing. Who could ask for a more beautiful and wonderful engine? I love it!

  • i can

  • This engine is made to show the builders skill and talent. Enjoy it! There is so much time and hard work invested in this engine how could someone say otherwise? Not to mention the fact that if YOU watched it you must have an appreciation for the work that was done to make this beautiful engine. Right?

  • I'm just taken away by the sheet beauty of this item. Whoever made this props.

  • OH!

    I get it now!

    The heat causes the water to expand into steam, then it pushes the piston up and once it reaches a point it cools and it goes back down and then is reheated and again and again!

    I get it!! :D

  • no just air heating up. no steam. but thats nearly it.. keep working at it

  • Ah.

    That also makes sense!

    Same thing, different substance. :D

  • Looks like something straight out of Frank Herbert's Dune novels.

  • Or out of Metropolis.

  • Beautiful classical creative engineering design work. Congratulations! Lovely, lovely, lovely.

    If the classical Greeks could have built this engine, they would have built in this way. Masterful!

  • beautiful - what else can you say?

  • how much does it cost.

    I want to buy it

  • an absolute delight,

    i`d have it as art,form and function

  • Every time i open one more of your videos my jaw drops further... this is truly a beautiful creation.

    I could watch it for hours...nice to hear it's quiet heart beat but still think the piano music would be a nice touch :-)

  • love the mechanism that turns the engine on its pedestal,very impressed with your work and being a precision engineer myself i,m not easily impressed

  • She blinded me with science

  • Hydrochloric acid, to be exact. :P

  • reminds me of the tourbillon mechanism in certain mechanical watches (btw it means "spiral" in French)

  • I wish people would throw out their coffee table books and fish tanks. This is a read conversation piece! I don't think we'll get to the moon with this motor, but what a piece of artwork! Wow.

  • Very, very, nice. Love the slewing motion.

  • poetry in motion

  • Man you do beautiful work. Schoener?
