PART 1 HOW TO BUILD A TIN CAN STIRLING ENGINE

This is a video that shows the first steps of building a stirling engine. it shows how to find the exact center of the can and make a hole that fits the displacer rod with out excessive air leaks and with out a whole lot of precision tools. This series starts off slow but it wil take off in the next videos. and the fun begines.

Has any one ever built a stirling engine that has enought power to pull a generator big enought to be of any use I have never seen one any were just tinty one good for nothing ?????????????

@MrTravis769 YES ABSOLUTELY. TESLA POWER IN CALIFORNIA USES HUGE SOLAR REFLECTOR DISHES TO COLLECT 4000 DEGREES ON THE HOT CAP OF LARGE STIRLING ENGINES. THEY PRODUCE 4 TIMES THE POWER THAN SOLAR PANELS OF THE SAME SIZE. STIRLING ENGINES ARE THE MOST EFFICIENT ENGINE TODAY. GM EVEN MADE A CAR WITH ONE. NUCLEAR SUBS AND POWER PLANTS USE STIRLING ENGINES TO PRODUCE POWER. THE HEAT FROM THE REACTORS ON THE HOT CAP AND THE WATER TO COOL THE COLD END. THAT'S WHY THERE IS A LAKE BESIDE THEM.

how do you cut the can

[muddymuddymuddmann]

@guineapig4444 TRIM THE LID OFF WITH A CAN OPENER, OR HACK SAW TO START OFF. THEN I USE TIN SNPIPS TO EVEN AND TRIM.

Hey muddymuddymuddman,

I'm from the Netherlands and I was planning on making a stirling engine myself for the weekend, but I dont know what parts to buy/or get? so could you please make a small list for me? It's a project for school. Thanks a lot!

@muddymuddymuddmann WHY DO YOU TYPE IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS? ALSO GOOD WORK! I GUESS.

[muddymuddymuddmann]

@gope23 ANYTIME, THANKS FOR THE COMPLIMENT. I PLAN ON A STEEL WOOL DISPLACER FOR THE NEXT ONE.

After looking at so many alternative displacer designs for my first attempt, I am VERY happy to see something so simple that I can literally build out of my trash can! Thanks for doing the ground work and for explaining it so well!

[muddymuddymuddmann]

@rikgroenewegen HEY ,

JUST A NOTE..... I SPEND A FEW HOURS REVIEWING THE VIDEOS. PART 5 AND SIX COVER THE DISPLACER. IN 5 AND 6 I MADE ONE FOR THE SECOND MACHINE. LOOK FOR THE TUNAFISH CAN BEING PRESSED BY HAND. I HAD TO BUILD THE SECOND MACHINE BECAUSE I STARTED FILMING AFTER I HAD MADE THE FIRST DISPLACER. NOW THAT WASNT FAIR, SO I STARTED MAKING THE SECOND ONE JUST FOR THE DISPLACER BUILD. I WAS WONDERING WHY THE SERIES WAS SO LONG...LOL.
