  • Logical video......keep uploading man...:-)

  • I cant find those plans. Can you give me a direct link to it? Thank you :)

  • Do you have plans for this? PLEASE! :)

  • @Donciulis I got the plans at photologie . fr

  • *****

  • great

  • If the lower part was touching water, or a creek, it will work faster?

  • sure,increasing the temperature delta between the top and bottom can only help the engine to run a little faster. However, the rpm is pretty stable on a stirling engine, despite change of temperature, it always run around the same speed, there is some variation but not as much as you would expect, unlike a gas engine what has a wide rpm range. This make the stirling engine unpractical as a car engine for example, but it would work great as a generator or a pump.

  • Why the restriction on speed range? My guess is fluid turbulence causing resistance. I believe this increases proportional to the 4th power of fluid speed.

    It makes me think of the futility of trying to go ever faster on a bicycle. Ultimately wind resistance must always win out.

  • how did u seal the displacer arm?

  • the arm is made of an aluminum tube fitting perfectly into another aluminum tube (fixed to the base). I add a drop of oil or WD-40 before using to lubricate and seal.

  • yeah but how did u fit it in there

  • I just got the 2 tubes from a model/hobby store.

  • ^^ c moi T-chone hello my brother

  • Great concept glad I stumbled onto this video. I am going to check out hubert roussel engine on google .thanks

  • Very nice example of working concept.

  • I can't tell whats happening exactly but I think solar energy is awesome.

  • Very nice! Keep up the good work!

    Gree(n)t(h)ings from Holland!

  • Very good - do you by any chance have the plans available online anywhere? looks like you made it with a lot of stuff found around the house

  • I used the plans found on photologie fr . Hubert has an english version of his website. the address is too complex to write it here,just google the words "hubert roussel stirling engine", you will find it right on top of the search.

    my engine was made with a gallon bucket, lid and bottom, foam, cd an other used stuff. Be green!

  • Lovely mate.... Found it and thanks very much! Now I know what to do with all those tuna cans I was going to recycle....

  • Get a lot of AOL CDs.

  • Lol! You probably came up with the best possible use AOL can and ever will provide at no cost to us! Right on. Aside from the humor, does anyone know good info on building a dish type solar stirling? They seem to use very small cylinders,but I am not sure of its complete parts/fundamentals.I do have a lathe.
