Quad-Rocker Stirling Engine Vid 2

Another angle of the Quad-Rocker Stirling Engine running. Built in shop class at Newberg High School - its a double stirling design, one of three built so far. Built entirely from raw materials, with fairly extensive use of a HAAS CNC for machining many components. If anyone is interested, the shop teacher sells plans for his engine designs, check out

I don't have a way of measuring torque or power output on the motor. I have measured the speed, however. It has only had about an hour of run-in, but as it stands, it tops out at 1280 RPM.

One of the most attractive stirling engines I've seen yet!

[altern8energy]

if they are so weak in HP, why is Stirling Energy Systems using them to power a 25KW generator??

[mike081283]

cant you put an electric coil that heats up on the end and put a small gen to the engine to make the power to heat the coil

เอ่อ มานคือเครื่องอะไรครับ

@DJSHAWCROSS I think something is wrong with your math, but put in in as a generator for an electric car, and off you go.

Dear Mr/How are you..

I d like know if possible the Power of this 30cm weels+ two Piston. Stirling ?

200.9 mph its going if u put that in a rc car it wil go 900+ mph 0-60 in 0.000004 mill sec's

irre :)

I could play with this shit whole day. lol.

@altern8energy - Because an internal combustion engine of a similar size and weight can develop more (and more controlable) torque. The Stirling designs are actually more efficient than an IC engine, but they work best as low-torque constant-velocity applications. Yes, it's a good generator...

[KOakaKO]

Your torch tips don't match, therefore your video is non-symetrical and a complete failure...

Just kidding. That's a tremendously cool little stirling engine. And it's fun to watch it running, too. I hit "like" on this vid. ;)

If you think about it. A sterling engine that is built into a car that has good enough cooling on the ends of the cylinders and draws heat from the exhaust manifold which is always hot. Could probably power a good alternator. That way the cars engine won't have to loose power to drive the alternator.
