  • neat but the hot air seems to make the fan counterproductive

  • how do you turn it off? hold in the center again?

  • Im trying to make the same thing, i came up with the idea this morning, the only thing that u have moving the sterling engine is the rotation of the fan?

  • But its amazing this fan is not available in Pakistan's market. The people are even not aware of this technology.

  • The next time I need a fan to blow a little warm air I'll think of this...

  • @digerpaj. Solar power can provide heat directly for a Stirling engine you moron. Search for Solar powered Stirling engines on YouTube sicko...you need to focus sunlight. Think before you speak.

  • Uses heat to give a cool breeze.

  • I'll have to build one of these, I'd use it even in winter, just to see the stirling engine go!

  • this is a pakistani invention

    made by waheed baber

  • ficou massa!!!

  • that is a realy cool fan.

  • It's also going to blow the carbon dioxide from the fire so if I had one I would place it in the garden facing anywhere except my face.

  • @acnfanmanin

    You mean carbon monoxide?

  • @douro20 Yeah.

  • cool beans!

  • genius

  • This is awesome and very well built. But i'm gonna be honest, I chuckled at the idea of a cooling fan powered by fire. Awesome work though!

  • Around 1900-10 there was a hot air fan called Lake Breeze, have seen one working and it was rather week, not much of a fan breeze. This one looks much better! Very nice to see. A fan with no electricity

  • How did you did it plz tell me......

    by the way cool

  • Mass Produce Stirling Engine.. I Think this is going save the planet since it can run with solar power

  • can you please let me know, where in Pakistan did you get this. i have been look for this for ages. i have heard that these were used in Pakistan in 1980s but havent found someone who makes these. if you know, please lemme know the contact details at thehrao@yahoo.com

  • A reproduction Ky-Ko fan made in Pakistan.  These fans were made using the original casting patterns.

  • i heard if u use a massive heat sink at the top it can run forever, or at least weeks

  • poetry in motion

  • How loud is the engine can you make a video without the music?

  • @024reredrum Yeah. Also there could be a couple ribbons tied to the grill for a nice visual of the wind power :)

  • @024reredrum sterling engins are almost silent as they work by moving air in a "sealed" housing.

  • I love this song. I can play it on the violin. Its called Hornpipe from water music.

  • i never thought that they had fans powered bya piston engine i just thought it was electric

  • Now that is a very interesting video ! cor ! you learn somethink new every day !

  • not sure of the application, but it sure is cool.

  • how much wind deos it actually move?

  • could someone tell me the name of the background music ? tnx

  • Music for the Royal Fireworks G Handel . I believe!

  • Water Music, Suite Nº 2 in D Mayor, Alla Hornpipe, BY George Friedrich Handel

  • looks well made, i like how it has its own little smoke stack.

  • did you make or buy this? either way, AWESOME!

  • It was made in Pakistan in modern times from old Ky-ko castings.

  • Nice I'd like to get one

  • Available on Ebay "Stirling Engine Fan".

  • Available on Ebay, Stirling Engine Fan".

  • Where do you get these???

  • Ebay. lol

  • amazing!

  • genius!

  • bellisssimo saluti dalla sicilia italia

  • You would have the thermal equivalent of a generator powering a motor, and nothing would happen.

    Well, you might make the other Stirling enthusiasts looks stupid, but other than that, nothing would happen.

  • Really? Sorry if the sentence weren't clear enough.

    If I had a heat pump powered with an external electricity source, which then provided a heat difference of 3-4 times that of the electricity, which then powered a generator.

    If all these machines were in a room with two cables going out, one for input and one for output, do you not think there could be a gain in electricity?

    Btw, I'd be happy to discuss with you on the overunity forum about this topic.

  • Firstly that would break the main law of thermodynamics - that you can't get more energy out than you put in. But people seem determined to wish their way around this.

    What would happen in your scenario is that firstly you would only get a fraction of the electricity out than you put in due to heat and friction losses. Then ultimately your room would heat up (heat engine would be more accurately called a Heat Difference engine). As the room warmed up the engine would stop working.

  • What's the name of the song?

  • i like the music

  • simple engine

  • The next thing you could do is a solar powered sterling engine fan.

  • @zeemoot well that fan is made in pakistan and inventor of this fan has converted it on solar power... He is is so poor and trying his best to arrange some funds to produce it in bulks. He also cliamed that if you attach some more equipment with it it will start generating electricity as well....

  • @zeemoot solar does not creat enough heat....u need to use semi-conductor diodes and use photo-electric effect of einstien to creat and amplify power and power a ELECTRIC FAN...not a heat engine...thanks

  • @digerpaji , all that crap you just made up made you SOUND really smart, I swear, no seriously, I promise. everybody thinks so,

    but with a little googling, you could actually find out real FACTS, like how the world record was recently beaten for solar-to-grid conversion efficiency by a SOLAR POWERED STIRLING ENGINE!!!!

    but i guess that's not possible, on account of "photo-electric effect of einstein". ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

  • @eatspaste no need to bash me people...my background is in semi conductors, so i did not know of the mechanical way of electric conversion.

  • This is not my beautiful house, but this IS my beautiful fan. LOL Talking heads make for a great glimpse at the workings!

  • They were made as long nearly one hundred years ago.

    I used to have a 12" Lake Breeze. It ran at about 900rpm,

    producing a breeze similar to a modern 12" fan set at low speed. Quite (just a bit of mechanical sounds) and cooling:

    if you sat real close to the fan, you could feel a bit of the waste heat. But mostly, it just made you feel a LOT cooler in a hot room, by moving the air. It didn't make all that much waste heat, see? They just plain work.

  • Well ... Hardly innovative, as the Rev. Robert Stirling and his brother James started developing their heat engines in 1816. The "innovation" is therefore nearly two centuries old. However there is a certain "elegant simplicity" to a stirling engine. It is a very "pure" form of power source from an intellectual point of view and still has its place on the modern-day word, stove-top fans being a case in point.

  • Stirling engines are fascinating things. Using them to run fans has a long tradition in "stove-top" models, chiefly in Canada. This looks very must that type. The problem? The ridiculous sound-track to this video

  • Watch it or he'll whip out the Eaglesmith on us .

  • Powered by a... Stirling engine.

  • Its not clear what is happening with your fan,how is it being powered?

  • Fascinating!

  • thats a neat design, never seen it before.
