Stirling Runs Window Motor

This was a throw together, maybe temporary video to satisfy a viewers request. He suggested the motor was running from the DC motor I use as a generator. He also needed to see a 360 of the motor because he also implied I was running the engine from some hidden source. In most cases I won't entertain such a person but he annoyed me so much that I wasted an afternoon making the video. I tried to salvage something from the bad experience by testing a different file format for upload and suppling something a little different to look at by running the window motor.

If you made a 2cylinder version of this. Would it be self starting?

@moffett8

I don't think this would self start because you need one full cycle to get the hot air out of the displacer cylinder and into the power cylinder.

Hey. Video was fantastic. Do you have drawings or anything that i could make one myself back in scotland?

Thanks

Hello. I no longer have the drawings but I got the plans and materials kit from LittleMachineShop. If you search for that, you will probably find what you need. They have other kits there as well.

do u sell them and if yes then how cheap can u make a simple one i have a small budget but i would like to try one adn u look talentet so u can make my first one :)

I'm sorry friend. I can't build anything like this for a reasonable price.

You can find this engine assembled at LittleMachineShop

Close, the little generator is a DC tape drive. Yes, I machined all the parts. There is no rings on the pistons, that would be to much friction. There isn't a lot of power on these motors. The horizontal piston is a displacer and has about 1/32" clearance. Yes the heated air in the displacement cylinder is sent to the power piston to be cooled off and used again. There is no intake or exhaust. Movement comes from heating and cooling the air in the engine.

...John..what are you using for the little generator...a CD or floppy motor? did you machine up all the Stirling parts, and do the piston/s have a ring for sealing..? I've built a lot of stuff...but my forte has been I.C. engines, electrical, and welding, the Stirlings are something I'm still learning about, even though they're been around for a very long time. As for the non-believer..it does say Stirling, so to me that's...Heat...and I can see the small alcohol burner.

Hello, I'm glad you liked the video. The video channel is the only thing I have going on right now.

Thanks
