Stirling Engine

[rodnessgates]

como fazer isso? D:

[Kaath92]

heeeeey, how did you did this? need to know for a project pleaaaaaaaase :(

[daniel50458]

que materiales usaste

[wolfcrapshit]

hahahaaaaaaaaaa, how much did u waste of the candle? it makes CO2 u know? and thats not so powerful as the solar panel.

[piespokladowy]

Super!

[13illzz]

that acts just like my dick

[dan020350]

Sterling engine concept is quite cool........... kids should be given a project to build one in school.

[hellstudios]

Never seen one of this design... link to plans? :D

[nivas3d]

hai

[psyclistic]

It's ALIVE!!!!

[gaiatechnician]

For those interested in solar powered stirling engines, I have an idea for stationary stirling with the parabolic dish mounted on equatorial mount. This makes tracking the sun simple (time based) and should allow your engine to run all day as the sun shines.

[Usernameinvalid16]

That looks so wrong LMAO

[smile752oO]

estupendo...

[LangobardorumEtrusco]

That is just an example of how the arms of a caterpillar bulldog works, is called pressure, less air  = more pressure i think is second or first Bernoulli law.

[TheSickleCell]

Well it's obviously a pressure differential, due to abrupt changes in temperature that drive this thing, but it's not a result of "less air." Stirling engines for the most part are sealed units, so it's almost the same amount of air.

[LangobardorumEtrusco]

No it not air pressure, but because is not like those tubes you find in banks in size and shape so the heat would be the fuel while the ones in the banks are without any fuel, just Bernoulli law, i think the second.

[TheSickleCell]

It doesn't really work like a vacuum tube at the bank at all. I think it's Bernoullie's 2nd law, I think.

[LangobardorumEtrusco]

It kind of do...

[dumle29]

its not less air just more dens air

[franramuzz]

Hola estoy muy interesado en todo lo relativo a los motores stirling, me gustaria que me dijeras como hiciste el piston que mueve el tubo de ensayo.

Gracias.

[blasius50]

Complimenti e Graziso

[mrcotrino]

hola megustaria saver como hizo ese motor

[Agremen]

wow thats very interesting :)

[Narxysus]

The heated air is moving past the marbles, is that correct? So even though they aren't a perfect seal, they push enough for the machine to work?

[3082164]

i like this video..how long did you spend to make this?I spent 5x90 minutes to do mine.haa.everyone knws why sterling engine is now being refocused by engineers around the world..Its efficiency is sohigh(note:lotsa higher than a steam engine)but the size and the slow start up need real improvement before it can be of good use.Japan engine companies are making huge progress in sterling engine improvements so tat they can replace normal combustion engine in future. this is the solid fact. superass

[3082164]

Dear you tubers lets just give clochner a big hand for able to construct a sterling engine with such simple materials~unlike some ass that cant even do that~haha...I did one for for my college project too..well a solid metal beta type though..

[crabbulator]

Damn man, that is awesome. That could power the next shuttle launch.

[thucydides01984]

The ingenious thing about Stirling engines is that the working fluid is in a closed volume: you never need to add any more. All you need is a heat source. Unlike a steam engine, which requires the constant addition of water as well as heat.

[theoldgalah]

your an aggressive bugger arent you?Interesting conversations about all sorts of things.But just as a matter of interest I've got a Greek mate who says ALL Greeks are bastards who like to fuck their girlfriends/wives in the arse...Is this true?

I'm an Aussie by the way and I would guess your not old enough to be my Father......I cant understand you not appreciating this little stirling engine...but then again you are GREEK nothing more need to be said :o)

[theoldgalah]

fuck ur a dumb bastard

[theoldgalah]

sorry to offend you.But by starting like that I can get some really interesting conversations going.................;o)somet­imes.

[3082164]

whoever that is greek...please call this bastard to stop his stupid comments..I love Greek..dont let him ruin greek's intelligent images..haiz...THE WHOLE WORLD KNOWS HOW MUCH MUCH MORE EFFICIENT IS A STERLING ENGINE Than a mere steam engine= = even in this case dumbass

[3082164]

so u admitted you used a translator?oh my god...superass, i'd like to debate this out nicely if u din start use foul languages 1st..I am not trying to convice anyone to believe me, just stating the facts that I know: English, Chinese,Japanese, French, Vietnamese, Bahasa Malaysia, Bahasa Indonesia, a little korean, hokkien, hakka, and Guang dong with only 6 of them holding certs. That is actually very normal for us=___=stop that mama thing..sounds like a kid.and i just did build a sterling engine

[sotielari]

Don't u put to ur dirty mouth the Greeks

R u the wonder kid?Just 21 and allready talk 6 languages and know physics!

I bet my money ur a liar as he said.U know how i know this?

A wonder boy wouldnt spend his time in here revile an other person just cause has a diferent opinion

That makes you an idiot... as he said also

[3082164]

pause sotielari.. I'd express my deepest apologies if you misunderstood my words.. please do read my comments again..I think i stated that I love greek..I really do respect greece and everything to do with that country.greece are intelligent people. I hope I made it clear. I just said superass is ruining the image of that and asking him to stop.Let's talk the adult way.I am 19 actually, I skip 2 grades and indeed got6 languages with certificates.currently studying mechanical engineering in Japan

[sotielari]

U wont talk on behaf of other people.Ur not my lawyer.Greeks (as u said) r inteligent enough to understand whos right and whos not.Nobody can ruin the image of a nation exept from his own. The same goes for you too.U have a long way ahead of u to become an adult.Next time think before u open ur mouth

[tainterlakeisgreen]

if you're going to boil water and do a steam engine, why not just use a gasoline engine. and if you're going to do a gasoline engine, why not just go nuclear.... stupid.

the whole point of this is that ALL YOU HAVE TO DO is add heat.

[tainterlakeisgreen]

How is this not doing anything good? First of all its a great scientific feat and that in turn leads to other discoveries. Second, you can generate electricity using this principle. Third, why are you so against science?? I bet you've done a ton of stuff that doesn't do any good (like make pointless comments on youtube). I'm scared to see what your other posts are like!!

[tainterlakeisgreen]

Then why do you drive a car??? Only about 20% of the energy in gasoline is converted into motion.

One thing you need to learn is that science is not filled with earth shattering discoveries that revolutionize the way we do things. No this sterling engine isn't going to replace nuclear power but it's a damn cool concept.

Before you call science stupid, realize that everything you know today came from someone who dedicated their life to knowledge, just so you can have your little conveniences.

[tainterlakeisgreen]

Someone who knows? I'd like to see what education you have. Every day I work with scientific equipment that costs more than you probably make in 10 years. Hmm lets see, today it was helium lasers, Raman microscope, scanning electron microscope. What should I do tomorrow, NMR?? AFM?? GCMS??

[3082164]

you go fishing superasg3..you even spelled "credit" wrong..fisherman..wahahaha

[3082164]

I've mastered more than 6 languages with certificates allowing me to enter 90% universities in my language fields.ya.u see.sorry I'm not interested in yours~i might not know fishing like you.hmm.i dont talk fish language..言ってることわかるよね～？このバカヤロs­uperass~~明白我说什么吗王八蛋~~fahamkah apa yang kubahaskan ni si bodoh?~~Đồ ngu or Ngu quá or Nguvậy.~~Li zhai wa gong xiami bo tubo~~Il est si stupide qu'il n'arrivait pas à comprendre~~wahahaha

[3082164]

well well well all 17 sentence with the same sentence and same meaning.."YOU are an idiot and a liar" who is the idiot?who is the liar?u used the internet for translator or something?coz the flow of your sentence is like so unnatural...15 of them so so robotic..tsk tsk...wheres every sentence of mine has a different meaning..come on... u can give me better..go find one website to translate one by one..and answer me precisely.. then I admit that youre not a mom breast sucker..wahahaha

[3082164]

come on asshole.. do your homework superass.. everyone knows what tainterlakeisgreen said is true.. go on wikipedia to check on Sterling engine if you dont know its properties.. it's well known for its effeciency okay= =well the whole world is laughing at your stupid comments... even a six-year-old knows that..yaya... my niece just laughed at your stupidity..fisherman..

[eaglestryker77]

wow , your coming off stupid.

[tainterlakeisgreen]

Are you his brother?

[eaglestryker77]

what? who's brother, r u being a smart-ass, cause i was just saying your comment was kinda stupid. I am not trying to be an asshole, I am just saying that the whole point of this video was experimenting with other fuel sources to get an engine to work, at least what I concluded.

[tainterlakeisgreen]

And I'm just trying to tell this other guy that it's not pointless and stupid. What am I supposed to say? It's pretty hard to have a decent conversation with someone as ignorant as he is.

[sedargo77]

U r not very smart!

[tainterlakeisgreen]

neether r u

[kei1010101010]

I think it is a pressure engine. It uses air pressure in the tube. Pretty nice!

[woodscritter]

Initially when Dr. Stirling invented his engine he called it an "air engine" to differentiate it from the steam engine. Why? Back then, steam boilers had a propensity to explode, and kill people. Which his didn't.

Pressure changes result from heating/cooling working fluid; heat the compressed gas, cool the expanded.

[robnox]

hahahaha.. ghetto, but cool ;D

[NomadShindig]

This video, the commentary and everything about this video redeems all the stupidity I've seen on Youtube and makes me want to restore my faith in humanity.

[Nityeshranjan]

im trying to make a gamma sterling engine but i dont understand how im gonna seal the working fluid from escaping.... can someone gimme a suggestion?

[halifakx]

men ive seen your video at least 20 times

thanks for posting it. its now 6 months since ive first saw it and im still impressed

[GetMeThere1]

Beautifully simplistic. Nice job!

[ninja6kid]

wtf i would NEVER understand how this even works let alone be able to build one

[MoPar7055]

yeah you would, why do people say this shit and go through life relying on other people and never trying anything.

[benjamindees]

1) Flame heats air in test tube;

2) Air expands through plastic hose, extending pneumatic cylinder and lifting test tube;

3) Marbles roll down to hot side of test tube, displacing air to cold side of test tube;

4) Air cools, contracting pneumatic cylinder and lowering test tube;

5) Marbles roll down to cold side of test tube, displacing air back to hot side;

6) GOTO 1

[CorvetteCoonass]

its very simple actually. It utilizes the hot air in the chamber. hot air wants to rise, so the hot air raises the lower piston, and that reciprocates the upper piston, pushing the air back into the lower piston. as long as a heat source is available, the engine will run on its own.

[cardbordbox]

looks like some kind of sex toy

[ZisMyName]

this is like stirling engine meets drinking bird

[Tboyz14]

can you make a tut for it plz

[sandysandy9911]

try u sing BLOWTORCH TO HEAT IT

[jackmonkey26]

I bet if attach a crankshaft and flywheel to it, it would be smoother.

[Nabo00o]

And it would store up energy instead of loosing it as the case is here.

[gosienna]

Amazing, so simple, but still work!

[MomanMorales]

hello, I'm studing Mechatronics Engineering, and I have to do a stirling engine, and I want to do something like you, but I don't know what is the thing that is inside the tube. I supose that is something cold, but can you tell me please what is inside.

[hastily]

Canicas... si lees la descripción del vídeo...

[fedders]

MARBLES U IDIOT

[rpottsch]

hahah WOW... you're funnny fedders... some people huh?

[varover]

Ahhh!! something more, I didnt find the pistol that you have, so I use a geringer, Im gonna send you a photo of my experiment (If I can), and Could you tell me whats wrong with it???

[varover]

Thank you, And Im here again, because I decide to do this experiment to present it on my university, I did all the things that in this page said, but my prototype doesn´t run.

I need your help because the tube up, but it doesn´t down, what can I do??? What kind of gas do I have to use???. Please answer me as fast as you can, because I have to present the experiment the day after tomorrow.

[Cup0Water]

Varover you english is better than my own.

[babot6]

not rotarary movement though

[paparazzizi]

i wanna see this "engine" with 6000rpm´s please and 300Hp!

[flowerman2705]

what is the stuff on the end of the testtube. will it woke without it.

[Evocatas]

the black stuff at the end is soot from doing the experiment several times. and No there isn't fluid in the system, it's just the expanding and contracting gases that causes the engine to cycle.

[varover]

But I dont understand something. I read that you need a cold fluid to change the piston direction, and my question is: Does the pistol have a hole on the tube, to obtain a cold air from the enviroment to move down the pistol?

I dont speak very well english so excuse me if I committed a mistake.

I hope you to answer me.

[TECNOLOGIARAUL]

you dont need any hole, when the marbles go down the air goes up till the cold side of the tube... pyrex is a very very bad heat-transporter so one side keeps cold while the other one is very hot.

my english is very bad too, i hope you to undestand me... look my stirling engine video searching by the key words "stirling raul".

[mavamaarten]

LôôôôôlZ !

[djamu]

Looks like those fisher-technik cylinders I used to have when I was a kid. I thought they went banckrupt, just googled around & it's still produced Yeah great....

This stuff is WAAAYYY better then Lego...

[pyromaniac1207]

hey i did have this kind of engine in my physics lecture. it's very clever. and not that complicated but i sadly forgot how it works :-(

but anyway nice video!

[giup888toi]

it is funny...lol

[jhwtech]

hows this work?, it looks like hot air rises sending the weight down along with the piston.

as the piston moves down the air presure pushes the weight up.

if the hot air is still there, how dose the presure overcome its self?

also I thought sterling engings used cold air.

where is the cold air? is the differace in heat blocked from the piston and the weight?

[Validole]

1. air heats, pushes the cool-hot chamber up.

2. balls roll into the hot chamber, shunting the hot air to the cold section, that is not heated.

3. air cools, the hydraulic cylinder depressurizes, the chamber lowers.

4. the balls push the air back into the hot chamber.

Rinse and repeat.

[xXxTragadiexXx]

Hahaha Nerds!

It looks like it humping somtin!

hahahaha

[kwisn]

Go hurt the neighbors cat(not really) and leave the inventors to it!

[215858452845]

You got a string lifting it up, I can see the hook its attached to. :(

[clochner]

well, it's not a string lifting it up, it's just the piston. The wire was necessary to pull the test tube down again. This was a problem of friction...

[215858452845]

yeah i see it now

[bobbie001]

never heard of a stirling engine before?? it works because a difference in heat not by a string..

[DoctorAwesome]

Uh... what?

This isn't caused by a string either.

[masterful921]

thats not holding a string it attaches the piston

[candylady]

Very impressive. Did you do any kind of calculations before you built it? I'm working on a stirling engine myself but i count on my luck that it works ;)

[clochner]

Well, not really. I could have done calculations cause this was part of my studies. But in this case it was just good luck. By the way, the size of the marbles in conjunction with the tube diameter is rather important. But most important: everything has to be lack proof. That's it.

[candylady]

I see, so i have to run some tests to get it working. I will try that out, thank you

[clochner]

it was done just by trial and error...

[13triki]

If heat by gas it could make a powerful vibrator for the girls!:O)

[clochner]

well right, but then we should think of one moving back and forth ;-)

[giganoto]

i heard of a circle stirling but this one is amazing

[treborly]

how much HP can these stirling engine produce?

[jiritom]

Very clever and motivating

[mitsudave]

Probably works fine until the marbles get good and warm...

[carl6022]

That really a good trrasformaton from heat to movement.

Is any body here who could tell me how it works?

[herteby]

This is just from looking at the video, but it looks like the air in the black thing expands from the heat, slips by the marbles and raises the cylinder. Then the marbles roll to the other side, which decreases the pressure so that they roll back and it starts over.

[16strings]

That's real close. You have the heat part right. Then the marbles roll into the hot end, and the air is forced to the cool end. When the air cools it contracts and pulls the cylinder down. The motion is caused by the cycle of air heating and cooling, heating and cooling- expanding and contracting.

[AtoK47]

I guess the efficiency of that cycle is very low.

But good idea!

[clochner]

Well, as I know the stirling cycle is actually one of the most efficient...but I'm not sure...this stirling engine shown in the video is definetly not the most efficient...that's certain

[AtoK47]

we can always increase the efficiency if we use a good isolant, but in thermodynamic for engineers book, it said that the CARNOT cycle is the most efficient, wich is pratically a reversible cycle, but we know its impossible.

[kanaanite]

Thats rigth, but the ideal stirling cycle actually has the same efficiency as the carnot cycle, however there are many practical problems in getting up the efficiency of an actual stirling engine.

[endowrider]

lol it looks like what i was doing when looking at hot pics while jackin off =)

[dwiggs77]

nice waste of energy

[scienceguy8]

Actually, the Stirling Engine is one of the most efficient, but also one of the weakest, of engine designs.

[dwiggs77]

this engine is ,in my estimate only using a fraction of the energy put into it. and is what i ment to say.

[hudsen11]

asshole...

[Toxinian]

Superrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr :D

[ncbookz]

please remove other comment i hit button too soon my question is this: how do you seal the bottom tube? and have the piston coming out of it? please help out with this question because i am working on a stirling idea and i need to kow how to seal everything and make hermetic with pistons coming out of chamber

[clochner]

The piston is a pneumatic cylinder by LEGO. It comes out by expansion of air. Everything (cork, tubes, plugs) is sealed with silicone. Plugs and tube have to fit 100%. The main problem is to get it done leak-proof...

[ShotgunVinny]

VERY GOOD :D

[bangous]

wow extremely fast, im totaly blown away

[qwertylex]

Nice 5 stars

[kamzi909]

Cool, crazy donno what to say :D that's awesome, good job keep it up

[jminguiz]

Excelente...muy didactico..gracias por ponerlo

[jevkdf]

genial

[dunkel111]

cool~~~~

[blazerblast]

someting like .......0.000001 horsepower.lmfao,but still pritty cool as heck

[Gido1]

Sehr nice

[PlasmaStar9]

Outrageously clever dude.

[bgineat]

nice job, not seen like this often. I have a mini metal lathe and want to do a different one

[bgineat]

how sweet build this yourself it looks like? I want to build a sterling engine soon myself

[clochner]

Yes, it's self-made.

[KGohill007]

Yo Chris! That's freakin' cool man. Makes me wanna make one too!

[marek0086]

wow thats revving like crazy
