There is a bit of confusion from people who have not attempted to hook a Steam or Stirling Engine to a PMA or generator. They usually assume you simply hook them together. None of the Steam or Stirling engines I have ever used have simple mounts. There are also no adapters you can pick up at your local hardware store.

This is a simple idea using plumbing supplies for quick change outs and testing. Direct Drive applications.

  • Why not just use a car alternator with a belt & pulleys? I'm honestly wondering; not tryin' to be a smart ass lol.

  • @yadidimeanmaine Car alternators do not work. They are about the worst solution for power production. Cars use them because they are cheap and easy to control voltage. They also do not produce power by simply spinning.

  • i don't mean to be picky...so i am sorry but your note about PVC had a typo. Schedule 80 is thicker and holds a higher PSI. i really like how you go into detail with everything. good videos :)

  • Thank You for catching that.

    Best Regards

  • So, was there an actual load on this motor at the end? If so, what was the power output? The video just ends right at the results part!

  • It is for another video, check this out:

  • Dan i use spider coupleings, you can get any size you need at tractor supply that will fit almost any size shaft, it alows for misalignment and vibration and they are not that expensive to have around the shop for experiments and such. You could probably set that up for less than 20 bucks. Keep up the good vids

  • Hey Dan, you might try cutting a slit on both ends of the pvc pipes (maybe an inch or so) so when you put hose clamps they compress over the shafts. I bet that would be an almost permanent connection that way.

  • thankyu

    

  • Great but tooooooo much talking ... Bla BLaaaaa

    Could have told the same story in 1/3 rd the time......

  • this guy says it just doesn't exist i wish people would do some fucking homework

  • I bet your brother is an electrician, we always use a knife cutting those pipes.

  • an hydraulic hose works to and its steel-wire reenforced and more flexible (good for vibrations) just atachet to the 2 axels with 2 hose braces, 1 for itch axel
