Are the power piston and displacer bore and stroke the same?

@heatherroseisrflyer Hi, Yes :)

[Aliian7777]

Congratulations on such a fine looking and performing Stirling engine.

Can you explain the operation of the radiator and fan (from a photocopier or similar?). Does it operate all the time or is it triggered by a thermostat and where does it draw power?

Thanks again for all your videos, they are inspirational.

Regards, Aliian7777

@Aliian7777

Thanks for the comments, It isa tangental fan driven continuously

by a belt from the the engine as is the coolant pump.

There is no thermostat. :)

Have you tried using higher pressure, like from a a CO2 tank?

[barumman]

@amfan12

Hi, If I used more pressure I would also have to increase the heat input, there is a piont where the heat exchangers become inefficiant so there is no gain.

Thanks for taking an interest, Cyril :)

Hello,

How big is the engine roughly?

We are looking to design and manufacture one of our own and we are having some trouble getting the geometries to work with the gearbox!

Thanks!

Good! All your videos are amazing.

[PinellasPatriot]

That is an elegant machine! I'm glad to have found your channel.

Brilliant, thanx for posting all of this!

this one is soo cool that you should sell this one

Great work! The people with the big bucks making the large solar concentrators have developed these to output 3, 10, and even 25 KW! They use helium or hydrogen, and of course a tremendous amount of solar energy is focused on them. If someone like you could develop a 2 or 3 KW unit for solar, there would be a very large market for that in the near future, I think, because it's quite simple to generate solar thermal but not so simple to convert it to electricity. It's a wide open market.
