Stirling MkII Pineapple Can, now with water pump!!

[ericrob2112]

nice cooling systhem!!!

[RizaMustang29]

I don't understand very well the part of the hose that connects the two cans :( PLEASE HELP ME!! 

[RizaMustang29]

Hi! I love it!! IT'S ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!an you send me the plans? I would like to do it for my school PLEASE PLEASE :)

[MrShahanwer]

it hv need stream  u can,t call him self

[Spadie1]

Hypnotic

[technology49]

Can i use a lipstick for the small piston?

[thegreatterror]

this is cool i like how the water pump keeps the top plate cool

[technology49]

Please can you sent me if you have the plans for the pump?

[technology49]

Please can you give us the plans?

[technology49]

The best Stirling Engine i have ever seen Very Good

[pyroman675]

hey a self cooling/refreshing Stirling engine water jacket

[gorropeddu]

Complimenti, molto elegante.

[plavins1]

self cooling stirling!!?? awesome!!

[ktnetreply]

Thats genious, I'm amazed to see your design and the fact it's actually doing work other than keeping it's self rotating. Brilliant.

[cornejor23]

Prety cool machine!

I see you based in the "Teacup stirling engine".

Have you ever used it for other aplication?

a generator?

fan?

a car?

I'd like to know, that way I'd ask you a couple of things

[theoldman777]

@cornejor23  Hi, What you see is what you get. Im working on another engine now, ready next year??

[cornejor23]

@theoldman777

I'm working on a machine,

I think I'll be working until next year, because Im making it to power a little toy car -from scratch-

When I finish I'll upload a video ;)

[ipadize]

@theoldman777 where is the new engine?

[yellowmetalcyborg]

How did one person not like this ):-(

Thanks for uploading epic engine!

1:28 RC CAR IN BACKGROUND!! :D

[Slovflyer]

I hear an r/c car in the background? Or perhaps some household electric motor? Hehe.

Very *cool* design. ;)

[theoldman777]

Actually an underground train rattling past, see other vids!

[Slovflyer]

Hahah so odd!

[561inurface]

@theoldman777 i actually hear an rc car at the end lol

[MrWeaselUV]

very very nice water pump, I used a radiator on mine an was considering how to add a pump, now i think a simple alteration will do just fine :D

Great Stirling good job

[SolarGranulation]

People say stirling engines have no torque, but this nicely shows that they are incorrect. Could an engine pump water without torque? And if this simple example has any, then properly engineered engines clearly do.

That, of course, is quite apart from NASA's use of them.

In other words, nicely done, I like the pump :)

[aarongriffin81]

Im impressed with the water pump you made for this engine. I made one with a tube and plunger, and the bottom of the tube has a check valve and the plunger has a check valve so each stroke brings up water. But yours seems to be valve free like perhaps the tube has 2 holes, top of stroke and bottom of stroke. Do you have a drawing of this pump or some details how the pump works?

[theoldman777]

I tried complicated valves within pipes etc and a piston with a hole in it and a self sealing cover, and settled for simplicity! 3 holes just above the bottom end of stroke refills cylinder, small losses as it rises and it just overflows out the top pipe!

[vvvReVoluZZeRvvv]

Very nice!

Impressioning design!

[sixmagpies]

It's pumping its own coolant!

Does it have to be a pineapple can or can I get away with a baked bean can? ;-)

[THQC101]

Great looking and running engine. Where did you get the parts for the crank assembly?

[theoldman777]

B&Q ! They sell assorted bar, rod, brass pipe etc. Cut and silver soldered together. A bit difficult aligning the shafts, but eventually got it straight.

[FilterYT]

Very nice, nice balance too.

[30GB]

thats very very COOL add some ice and see how fast it will go

[theoldman777]

It wasnt designed with speed in mind! The motion is actually rather heavy, and it probably is running about full speed. I was more concerned with good airtightness (is there such a word?) and friction free running.

SUPERBE
