STIRLING CYCLE ENGINE Solar Stirling Engine Powered by a Parabolic Beauty Mirror to Epic Music

This Stirling Engine is 100% solar powered. This engine provides a great solar train and teaching demonstration.

The nice thing about an engine like this, easy cover removal for short run gas testing.

Epic music funny:-)

[ena1rume]

what exactly do you use yours for?

[GREENPOWERSCIENCE]

@ena1rume this one is just a toy and for testing.

Where is your better half these Days?

[GREENPOWERSCIENCE]

She has been getting caught up on organizing. We got 120+ days of rain and it was impossible to stay organized.

Stuff got soaked etc.

We are working on a solar panel finish video.

She says HI:-)

[Bobster986]

Wow! That's great, can you attach a electric generator to it?

[GREENPOWERSCIENCE]

Working on a larger one DIY just like this. Waiting for parts.

I love your work Dan but I would really love to see one of these engines actually do some work. Not have a volt meter on it because voltage means nothing without amperage.

Basically I want to see an engine like this run a small motor under load or something. We need to see what sort of scaling / multiples of these engines would be required for useful work

Hi Dan,

Great video, I like it that you share your hobby and findings with us. I very much enjoy the good quality from your videos, considering that there is no professional camera crew and a director, etc. etc. I wish more people would follow your example, at least you are a big source of inspiration to me. Keep up the good work !!

Greets to you and Denise from the Netherlands, iT

How large would a 1hp sterling engine be roughly?

[TheTramsen]

imagine attaching a dildo onto that thing.

[Son0fHobs]

Awesome. Very cool solar power! Props on what you accomplished!

But then comes the critical perfectionist part of me, so feel free to ignore. It looks great, but I can't see that it would be incredibly practical, especially on a mobile vehicle, but who knows? Any idea what kind of torque and/or power output your getting?

Props, and cheers!

What???

[technofreak928]

@Bobster986

i dont know about his but alot dont have enough torch

[TheMorbiousStone]

the high cost for these and how simple they are make zero sense

[RationalPrejudice]

Ever think of attaching another piston to the reverse end and driving a linear alternator to generate electricity? Curious to see how much juice you could make since a linear alternator is what Infinia is using in their parabolic single-piston stirling arrays. Whaddya think?

[wispers187]

how come i never see these things generating electricity?
