Making an LTD stirling engine

This is a video explaining how I made my LTD (low temperature difference) stirling engine. I made the engine in the school workshop over the past couple of months. This is a really simple yet effective engine, that is supposed to run on the heat from your hand, but my engine requires about 40oC to get going. I got the plans for this engine off this website: http://heetgasmodelbouw.ridders.nu/Webpaginas/pagina_ltd_stirling_met_cds/cd_...

Excellent video and commentary. There are a lot opf people out there who will find this very useful. Nice one :-)

thanks - it did take a while so hopefully some use come out of it :)

Goed stukje vakwerk jongeman.Het ziet er goed uit en een ieder die er een negatief commentaar oplevert moet er zelf maar eens een bouwen.

Proviciat !!!

Excellent video! I think all graphite parts can be replaced with metal ones, and the graphite could serve as a lubricant. All you need is to use soft pencil (2B, 4B) and fully cover the cylinders from inside, pistons and all other parts where friction occurs. If somebody is willing to test this please share your results. It could cause the necessity to repeat the graphite cover from time to time, while original solution is permanent, but probably more difficult to complete.

Excellent craftsmanship! Hats off to you and 2 thumbs up! I hope you are continuing your interests in this area and I wish you the very best of good fortune in it.

This is just excellent! Seeing that the graphite is hard to come by but needed to help with friction, have you considered maybe a white metal alloy of possibly tin and lead, since they are readily available? Or possibly some other common alloy of white metals that would be somewhat of a lubricant?

H Question. does the hole where the wire go trough from the dispenser need to be very small?

[SwarthySkinnedOne]

Never seen nor heard of anything like this till now. Why does it do what it does, this Whachamacallit engine? No batteries, no gasoline? How does it operate without electricity or some kind of combustion process. How them pittles go up and down making the circuloptic spin? I mean what is the underlying principle? Looked very involved, like you had to go through hell and high water in building this little dooglewiggie-wombat-wipplepupp­y & make the coloumbs in the air spin out frm rotationals SX.
