at 1:05 the engine seems like a 3d computer animation from late 90s
-
What is the mechanism for moving the displacer?

@bukster1 I think the thing that he snapped on in the begining was full of hot water
-
Where's the heat source? Most of these sort of engines have a candle under one end of a heat lamp shining on them. I don't see the heat source here. Is it a lamp outside of the frame?
-
@TahreyUK Many sterling engines click be either because air (oxygen nitrogen and carbon dioxide) creates shockwaves as it moves but in this case it is the displacer reaching the end of its travel and hit it's stops.
-
@macrumpton Self starting will occur if the transfer from hot to cool zones is suitably restricted but not gas tight.
-
@macrumpton The working principle of the sterling engine is gas law: hot gases expand cold gases contract. the engine squeezes hot gas out of a hot space into a cool space squeezes the heat out of before returning it to the hot space where it collects more heat expands and gets squeeze out of the hot space again and the cycle repeats. see also the wiki. the reason most don't self is hot space heats so slowly that the pressure equalises on either side of the displacer. (contd)

@playerhater812 I was wondering that too... so, if you put a tea-light under the hot part of the system, would this pick up speed faster and deliver more useful output power? because I can't see it making more than a couple of watts at the moment.

@ThePortalNC maybe reheating the cylinder, maybe just a poor quality camera/memory card

Even better cut at 1:45. Listen close or you will miss it.
