Awesome videos! Do you have any clue about how much energy an engine of this type could produce if it was connected to a generator?

[1967geezer]

@FallinRocks I don't know how much, but it is able to generate a very small amount of power. Enough to light a few led's, or maybe a bit more with the right electronics. But the engine is not really designed for that purpose, it's more of a demonstration of the Stirling principle.

My name’s Dervis Erol. I’m writing from Ankara, Turkey. I graduated from the Faculty of Technical Education, Mechanical Education Department in 2006. I am very interested in Stirling engines. ( 2006 ) I build a Gamma Type Stirling Engine but it did not work. I am doing a research about them at the moment.

How many rpm's is it spinning at?
