What does this device accomplish?

[HEETGAS]

@awesomeguy678

This kind of small model engines mostly don't accomplish much more than turning themselves around and that is the only intention.

@awesomeguy678

What it accomplishes is the encouragement of others of a like mind

and possibly, the advancement of the technology.

[itspietime314]

@awesomeguy678 its perpetual motion device

[StormyMaxPerry]

@awesomeguy678

It basically is one more way to convert energy from heat to rotational energy. Shows how imaginative the human race can be. 'Nuff said!

[Gunner3210]

@awesomeguy678 Devices like these are the reason why the industrial revolution came into fruition. You wouldn't be using your computer without a device like this.

sounds like my bed when me and my old lady are having fun.

Jan Ridders leuke website heb je ook! Ik ben me al een tijdje aan het verdiepen in stirlingmotoren, denkt u dat het mogelijk is een "gewone coffee-cup stirling" te maken zonder in het bezit te zijn van een draaibank? Ik maak me vooral zorgen om de werkcilinder (koude zijde) omdat deze afdichting naar mijn mening perfect moet zijn...

[HEETGAS]

@BRIGHTLIGHTSIDE

Dank voor het compliment.

Er zijn wel ontwerpen voor heel simpele "koffiekop Stirlings"; ik heb er zelf nooit een gemaakt.

Type maar eens "tin can stirling" in bij Google Search en je vindt diverse websites hierover.

Groeten,

Jan Ridders

[naturalyshocked]

@BRIGHTLIGHTSIDE draaibanken zijn zo duur niet.

kijk eens bij liney machine () com bijvoorbeeld.

of cnc-steuerung () com <---- duitsland

maar koopt nooit een 2de hand machine zonder hem gezien of getest hebben, wat er zijn wel eens een te veel speling in kunnen zitten en ben je achteraf meer krijt dan een niewe.

maar op ebay kun je er ook vinden.

[legox50]

What type of stirling is this? A Beta? A Gamma? Or an Alpha?

[HEETGAS]

@legox50

This is a alpha type.

Friendly greetings from Holland,

Jan Ridders

[legox50]

The cam is pretty efficient and light for an engine like that

[HEETGAS]

@legox50

Indeed, this is a very special and unique design if I may say so.

Thanks for your positive reaction.

Excuse me Heetgas, but is the air redirected back into the tube where the power piston is via the pistons which move horizontally on the sides? Or is it just a beta type? I am new to stirling engines..and very interested, please respond.

[HEETGAS]

@Glewnie This is a twin alpha type Stirling. The air is heated in the glass cylinder with glass displacer in it and is directed to the cold working cylinde through a horizontal bore in the (black) mounting plate (and this 2x).

Thanks for your reaction and friendly greetings from Holland,

Jan Ridders.

looks like something out of "the time machine" movie...the 1st one...hg wells

[mouwt]

So cool, really beautiful bit of mechanics,

[oOoxelAoOo]

That's a really elegant configuration, love it.

[HEETGAS]

Thanks for your compliment.

[haks0894]

its really that easy?

[HEETGAS]

This was not that easy; my most complex Stirling, but makable for sure. Unfortunately I didnot make a complete drawing plan yet for this engine; may be I will do that somtime.

Thanks for youur reaction,

Jan Ridders

[Carpcontrol]

i love it... greets from your neighbours

Dank U wel!

[HEETGAS]

There are two horizontale bores through the (black) mounting plate connecting the power cylinders to the dispacer cylinders.

[trossachs2003]

I like the way you are driving the sprung displacers via an eccentric lobe. Simpler than a full linkage. But I can't see where the expanded gas is getting into the power cylinders...

[1kera]

awesome, you need to connect something to it, to show off the power out put

[JamboyStu]

Very steampunk. I likey.

Nice toy good work :o)

[Menace92G]

nice.. where did you get that from?

[HEETGAS]

Hello,

This 100% own design.

Very nice, Engineering and Style.

Thanks for sharing

[yaventil]

ja echt gaaf en zelf gemaakt.

ik ben bezig met een tin can stirling engine maar wil niet echt lukken ik weet ook waar het aan ligt de cilinder maar ik weet niet of hij licht moet zijn of masief of hol of open aan de onderkant of hoeveem mm er mlet zitrten tussen cilinder en de wand.

[shakaama]

i'm so confused, i don't understand. i didn't see where the pistons where attached to the wheel.

[cyborgtroy]

Huh. Good idea.

[wh1stl3bl0w3r]

Very nice engine.

Greetings from Switzerland!

[jesslessthemess]
