Interesting, interesting, you can get ten or twenty of them to make a generator and a heater i have great ideas for engines and power sources... i can tell you but it may take a long time to plan it...
Free energy is finaly here!But the Oil coporations life depends on covering this up,Get the blueprints for a free energy motor at LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM ,The revolution begins!
@Jschultejans 100 years ago this sort of little engines used to run alot of things but cheap little petrol engines done away with them. But there are still a few old one floating about at shows and they drive pumps and generators etc etc even compressors
@Jschultejans these engines have been used for a long time actually... they are used sometimes at farms to pump water [or where used, before petrol engines were common]
this is an awesome idea. i think it would work well with a A/C unit, since the byproduct of A/C is heat, all you would need to have a/c that powers itself is one of these mated with a generator
@fdz413x it produces no more energy than the four small candles. It's a power system. You need to supply more energy than you will get out because you lose some to friction imperfect transfers etc. Car engines are the same way. A typical 200hp engines probably supplies enough energy in fuel to make 350+ under perfect conditions. Reason they don't is because a lot of power is lost to friction and inefficiencies.
@capnapalm loosing a lot into heat.... where something like this could be useful to take that lost energy (heat). Imagine taking 100% of the heat of an engine-block and shoving it into the wheels ... a decent heat to energy device still dosent exist... you could say it would be the holy grail of energy saving
almost everything we do creates heat that goes to waste. Taking low heat and turning it back into lets say electricity would be pure win... still waiting for nuclear fusion... waiting...
@gamercosti Look up Carnot efficiency and the 2nd law of thermodynamics. The theoretical maximum efficiency of any heat engine depends on the size temperature differential between the hot and cold side, and ANY engine that converts heat to work (even a reversible one) will have waste heat, period. Nuclear fusion will create electricity in exactly the same way fission, burning coal, or burning anything else does...it will boil water to run a steam turbine, with around 40% efficiency.
@gamercosti The best thing would be to use the waste heat to heat and cool buildings, eliminating the need for other types of heating and cooling, but this requires that large base load power plants be built near population centers, since transporting steam is only effective over small distances. New York City, for example, has the largest steam distribution system in the world (Con Edison). But people don't like coal or nuclear power plants in their backyards.
@xtheshame "doesnt run off steam....sigh." I never said it ran off of steam. A Stirling engine is still a heat engine. ALL heat engines, regardless of their working fluid, are subject to Carnot efficiency, which is based solely on the temperature difference between the hot and cold reservoirs. It doesn't matter if the working fluid is steam, air, lead, or Munchkins.
@xtheshame I was replying to the guy that was talking about "100% heat conversion efficiency" in relation to fusion power. Fusion will most likely be used to boil water, and run through a steam turbine. I never said that THIS engine ran on steam. It doesn't matter...it's still a heat engine, and it's still subject to Carnot efficiency limitations due to the 2nd law of thermodynamics.
@cocacola443 THANK YOU. God it seems that there are very few people that can understand the concept of "You can't get 100% energy efficiency. In this house we obey the laws of thermodynamics!"
Economics can be perverted with enough big words and fast talkers who make you look left while punching with the right. How did we improve the markets? By crushing the dollar. Now that the dollar is worth less, all the returns people saved for years are now at even, or not equal. They are lending money they do not own, and then charging interest. They then take that money and use it to infringe on our lives so that they may maintain their stranglehold on us.

@super6plx So I heard on the news...Nothing impresses me more than a recital of the lies that get pounded into the heads of lego people. You steel their money, give it to rich bankers, and invest it as if you were not printing it, the bankers then claim a profit, and the poor fools dance around with no jobs and lighter pockets, singing"Ding dong the recession is over!" I do so admire those with the wit and imagination to mimick a parrot stuck in a cage in front of a TV. Thanks for the education.
almost every economy in the world has seen two (almost three) consecutive quarters of economic growth. that's more than six months, thus meaning the world is out of recession
@super6plx do economics? What's that mean? Are you a student whose professor told him we were out of a recession? I'm gonna laugh my ass off. I wonder how much your professor made on the market in the last couple days. Do economics? When someone fails at doing something, they usually go into teaching. You are hanging on the words of some dimwit professor, and I'm guessing have not sot so much first hand knowledge. It is not in the nature of universities to hire teachers who are bearish.
it's the fucking study of the economy, listen to the fucking facts
how much money did YOU lose? even still, you should learn what a recession is before you make such stupid comments. A recession refers to "negative ECONOMIC growth", not "you're all fucking poor" so guess what? we're out of recession, and just because you're still poor that doesn't mean we aren't out of it yet.
please don't argue, 2 consecutive quarters of growth = NO RECESSION. IT'S A FUCKING FACT.
@super6plx but you have no skin in the game, and from what I can gather, are a student at university. While other people were losing money, I was invested in SDK. I was doing great! you can study the economy all you want, get A's on all your tests, (i'll even send you a little gold star, junior), but you know nothing of the economy, and what they are teaching you in school is for average lemmings who will pump out average lemming children, until this perversion of 'economics' finally ENDS.
okay I understand what you're talking about with the whole "school is to utilize us for the benefit of the captains of industry" but that's.. well, exactly what it is. captains of industry = we get jobs = advance forward in technology, ideas, products and everything else. I don't see what's wrong with that.

@super6plx The current system of currency is backed by nothing but our faith in said currency. This gives the reserve banks the power to manipulate the power of the currency. What you eventually learn, if you get off the beaten path of the school system, is that this system is designed to keep the power in the hands of the rich, and although we have seen less civil social orders, we are due for an evolutionary shift away from greed, to benevolence. It will be painful.
well I agree with you on this much. I only disagreed with you before that the economy was still worsening, which it isn't really
I don't have an active opposition to anything else you've said, I guess.. except for one thing, you have to admit that big business giants work incredibly hard to get where they are today, and understandably, using their power, they form the economic system to benefit them as they feel they have worked the hardest.
@super6plx We are going to see a mild move up, or a decent to large move down, on the DOW. I am betting it will go down after shaking up the short sellers by just breaking through resistance, then down. I honestly believe that we are getting skewed numbers, and that nothing travels in a strait line, especially the worst depression in history, which, in my opinion, is where we are heading. We are in the eye of the storm. Your prof knows what worked, but the waters ahead are uncharted.
since the beginning of march it's 3 quarters of consecutive economic growth actually. This recession was a god damn push over. It was dramaticised because everyone lost a bit of money and some people lost a lot of money. When that minority of people who lost lots say "oh this recession is bad" then everyone else who lost a tiny bit of money think "well I lost a bit of money myself, that means everyone else MUST have been worse off than me! This recession is really bad!"
@super6plx One thing you will never learn in School is the big picture. Furthermore, you will never be allowed to nurture a thought that someone else hasn't already decided was acceptable for you to learn. You think school is for your benefit? Your malleable brain is being utilized for the benefit of the captains of industry, but I guess if you don't know that, it couldn't possibly break through the cloud of crap that you are inundated with. Sure 2+ 1/4s = 0 recession-til it comes back!
Stirling Cycle is marginally more efficient than a Carnot ( Internal Combustion) engine - 38% vs 33%. BUT since the heat is EXTERNAL it can be run on Solar ( first 10 HP unit in 1851!) wood, candles, multifuels - any heat source. Also if turned by a motor it will cool more efficiently than any other system. Used commercially for making liquid air and LOX etx. NASA had a Stirling Fridge that froze 40 liters food with 6 watts input!!! Worth considering..
@Haroldus0 I could imagine using 4 parabolic troughs with oil to get that thing hot, but how does this design cool? Pardon my question, but I don't 100% understand the stirling engine. Is it just heat expansion? If so, how could it cool?
@traxxaslover123 Ok, but why wouldn't this design be implemented? If it is efficient, why does no one cool their home this way? Do you lose efficiency by increasing size of unit? I only ask because there are no large stirling engines viewable here. Why no dual-55 gallon drum displacement?
@baarberosssa because we alredy do use this concept in homes-your regular air conditioner works by compressing the frion gas so the heat dissipates into the atmosphere from then it is allowed to expand and the cool gas is then used to cool the air inside your home
A problem with many of the more efficent designs is they tend to have low specific power. This means you need heavy/big engines for even moderate powers. Shouldn't be a problem with stationary engines
Like most engines they can be made more efficent at bigger sizes, as clearances etc are relatively smaller
Power demonstated/caculated by having an engine lift a known mass vertically against a distance scale. allows calculation of shaft power by P[W]=mass[kg]*g[N/kg] *height_lifted[m] /time[s]
Does it make sense, from an economic standpoint? Materials, machining of large parts, requiring specialty machines, etc. If it was simple and cheap, why do we not see 100 horsepower units? I actually want to build one that is at least 10 HP, for a remote solar thermal app.
You don't need machines that are that special to make "standard piston" sterlings. A lathe is normally all you need but I've heard of people who have constructed them without a lathe! (If you aint got a lathe maybe try Gingery's Make your own Metalworking Shop from Scrap series- I am when not distracted by other ideas!)
As use of material. Sterlings rotate a lot slower than many other engines/have less pressure. Should mean parts COULD be far lighter for a given displacement of engine
Camden Miniature Steam Services lists some books you might find useful. Sterlings are under hot air engines
Haven't read it but a book called "How I Built a 5-HP Stirling Engine" might be the kind of thing you're looking for regarding the economics of sterlings
@steveBB30 I wonder If Aluminum, welded and then machined would work, with tubes and plate, reducing the amount of aluminum needed to start? I hate welding aluminum, even with tig. AC current is scary, and the stuff has to be so clean.
working with Alu? Way easier to cast to approx shape. Parts also alligned more accurately than welding! If appropriate, If single cylinder Beta and steel bore need the following patterns; hot heat exchanger/"head", cold heat exchanger, displacer + power piston, crankcase crankcase/bearing upper support, crankcase bottom/lower bearing supports, crank, flywheel. Fill bore with sand and treat much like a core when casting the heat exchangers. Alu can be cast around steel parts and "lock" to it
@baarberosssa they make them. and they run them with parabolic solar. 25mw sounds economical to me seeing as how they run forever. hydrogen gas increases production, and the heat exchanger could be a anerobic manure methane gas pool. it would increase methan that you could use to supplement the sun, or burn at night.
Stirling engine has a 50% efficiency. MC^2 doesn't have much to do with it. It is an engine where the working fluid - the gas inside the cylinder - instead of being heated internally by burning fuel like in a car engine, it is heated by an external source, in this case candles. 50% efficiency means that of all the energy generated by the candles, 50% goes wasted and 50% gets transformed into power (at the shaft) by the engine. So, it actually produces half the power you put in it.
i don't understand ... does anyone believe that you can really produce more power than you put in? according to the MC^2 its impossible ... you still would use smth to as fuel even if u utilize all the energy in the mass you will get a lot of energy but still you cant get more than you put in ...
Actuall yes, there is a company called SterlingEnergy that has a solar field of these in the southwest. They are currently more efficient than solar panels when they have a reflective dish array to direct sun onto the "fuel" section of the motor
What the...is this thing real? This ain't perpetual motion "vid" is it? I know what a stirling cycle engine is, but unless your burning fuel I don't get it.
@dylanofwomen The red center of the candle flame is about 800 C (1475 F) and the blue part of the outer core can be as hot as 1400 C (2500+ F).... there's quite a lot of heat there, so i wouldnt' call it "sensitive". a sensitive difference/stirling engine would operate on the heat from someone's hand
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Wow!, I think if you where to make a larger scale of that you could make the wheel create its own power to the light bulbs, with power to spare that making a positive feed back self fueling generater.
that is a beutiful engine.. multi cylinder ones are deffinately my favorite...this linkage-less displacer is new to me.. tell me is the small spring essential for this type of engine's operation? can the displacer operate without it?
Hi yes these devices could power a machine, some submarines use them because they are almost silent, if you want to learn more about how they work check out my website :)
Heat is is the rest-product of everything, if you are clever and think independendtly you could easly make this kinda motor create more useable power than put into it....
Just think what a heatpump does, put in one kilowatt of electritiy and you get out heat equall to five or six kilowatts out.
It's not perpetual motion, its energy from the envirement and our earth is filled with it!

well I agree with you on this much. I only disagreed with you before that the economy was still worsening, which it isn't really
I don't have an active opposition to anything else you've said, I guess.. except for one thing, you have to admit that big business giants work incredibly hard to get where they are today, and understandably, using their power, they form the economic system to benefit them as they feel they have worked the hardest.

@super6plx We are going to see a mild move up, or a decent to large move down, on the DOW. I am betting it will go down after shaking up the short sellers by just breaking through resistance, then down. I honestly believe that we are getting skewed numbers, and that nothing travels in a strait line, especially the worst depression in history, which, in my opinion, is where we are heading. We are in the eye of the storm. Your prof knows what worked, but the waters ahead are uncharted.

since the beginning of march it's 3 quarters of consecutive economic growth actually. This recession was a god damn push over. It was dramaticised because everyone lost a bit of money and some people lost a lot of money. When that minority of people who lost lots say "oh this recession is bad" then everyone else who lost a tiny bit of money think "well I lost a bit of money myself, that means everyone else MUST have been worse off than me! This recession is really bad!"
get it now? it wasn't bad

@super6plx One thing you will never learn in School is the big picture. Furthermore, you will never be allowed to nurture a thought that someone else hasn't already decided was acceptable for you to learn. You think school is for your benefit? Your malleable brain is being utilized for the benefit of the captains of industry, but I guess if you don't know that, it couldn't possibly break through the cloud of crap that you are inundated with. Sure 2+ 1/4s = 0 recession-til it comes back!

Stirling Cycle is marginally more efficient than a Carnot ( Internal Combustion) engine - 38% vs 33%. BUT since the heat is EXTERNAL it can be run on Solar ( first 10 HP unit in 1851!) wood, candles, multifuels - any heat source. Also if turned by a motor it will cool more efficiently than any other system. Used commercially for making liquid air and LOX etx. NASA had a Stirling Fridge that froze 40 liters food with 6 watts input!!! Worth considering..

@Haroldus0 I could imagine using 4 parabolic troughs with oil to get that thing hot, but how does this design cool? Pardon my question, but I don't 100% understand the stirling engine. Is it just heat expansion? If so, how could it cool?
Thanks

@baarberosssa u no how a gas heats wen its compressed? it cools wen it expands 2
traxxaslover123 2 years ago
@traxxaslover123 Ok, but why wouldn't this design be implemented? If it is efficient, why does no one cool their home this way? Do you lose efficiency by increasing size of unit? I only ask because there are no large stirling engines viewable here. Why no dual-55 gallon drum displacement?
baarberosssa 2 years ago
@baarberosssa because we alredy do use this concept in homes-your regular air conditioner works by compressing the frion gas so the heat dissipates into the atmosphere from then it is allowed to expand and the cool gas is then used to cool the air inside your home
traxxaslover123 2 years ago
A problem with many of the more efficent designs is they tend to have low specific power. This means you need heavy/big engines for even moderate powers. Shouldn't be a problem with stationary engines
Like most engines they can be made more efficent at bigger sizes, as clearances etc are relatively smaller
Power demonstated/caculated by having an engine lift a known mass vertically against a distance scale. allows calculation of shaft power by P[W]=mass[kg]*g[N/kg] *height_lifted[m] /time[s]

Does it make sense, from an economic standpoint? Materials, machining of large parts, requiring specialty machines, etc. If it was simple and cheap, why do we not see 100 horsepower units? I actually want to build one that is at least 10 HP, for a remote solar thermal app.
baarberosssa 2 years ago
You don't need machines that are that special to make "standard piston" sterlings. A lathe is normally all you need but I've heard of people who have constructed them without a lathe! (If you aint got a lathe maybe try Gingery's Make your own Metalworking Shop from Scrap series- I am when not distracted by other ideas!)
As use of material. Sterlings rotate a lot slower than many other engines/have less pressure. Should mean parts COULD be far lighter for a given displacement of engine
steveBB30 2 years ago
Camden Miniature Steam Services lists some books you might find useful. Sterlings are under hot air engines
Haven't read it but a book called "How I Built a 5-HP Stirling Engine" might be the kind of thing you're looking for regarding the economics of sterlings

@steveBB30 I wonder If Aluminum, welded and then machined would work, with tubes and plate, reducing the amount of aluminum needed to start? I hate welding aluminum, even with tig. AC current is scary, and the stuff has to be so clean.
baarberosssa 2 years ago
working with Alu? Way easier to cast to approx shape. Parts also alligned more accurately than welding! If appropriate, If single cylinder Beta and steel bore need the following patterns; hot heat exchanger/"head", cold heat exchanger, displacer + power piston, crankcase crankcase/bearing upper support, crankcase bottom/lower bearing supports, crank, flywheel. Fill bore with sand and treat much like a core when casting the heat exchangers. Alu can be cast around steel parts and "lock" to it
steveBB30 2 years ago
@baarberosssa they make them. and they run them with parabolic solar. 25mw sounds economical to me seeing as how they run forever. hydrogen gas increases production, and the heat exchanger could be a anerobic manure methane gas pool. it would increase methan that you could use to supplement the sun, or burn at night.

I am guessing that springs on top of pistons are to decrease effect of gravity on displacement pistons.

Stirling engine has a 50% efficiency. MC^2 doesn't have much to do with it. It is an engine where the working fluid - the gas inside the cylinder - instead of being heated internally by burning fuel like in a car engine, it is heated by an external source, in this case candles. 50% efficiency means that of all the energy generated by the candles, 50% goes wasted and 50% gets transformed into power (at the shaft) by the engine. So, it actually produces half the power you put in it.
paolotvl 2 years ago
i don't understand ... does anyone believe that you can really produce more power than you put in? according to the MC^2 its impossible ... you still would use smth to as fuel even if u utilize all the energy in the mass you will get a lot of energy but still you cant get more than you put in ...
mindauggas 2 years ago
look up solar stirling. It uses a parabolic sphere and directs it at the sterling. Produces free energy. Who gives a crap if thats cheating.

@dylanofwomen The red center of the candle flame is about 800 C (1475 F) and the blue part of the outer core can be as hot as 1400 C (2500+ F).... there's quite a lot of heat there, so i wouldnt' call it "sensitive". a sensitive difference/stirling engine would operate on the heat from someone's hand

There are 4 big "hot" cylinder above the candle, then there are 4 smaller "cold" cylinder that is used to drive the wheel. Thus 8-cylinder.

Yes, the spring is essential for the ringbom style engine. It allows the absence of a mechanical linkage between the power and displacer pistons.

Heat is is the rest-product of everything, if you are clever and think independendtly you could easly make this kinda motor create more useable power than put into it....
Just think what a heatpump does, put in one kilowatt of electritiy and you get out heat equall to five or six kilowatts out.
