4 cylinder, double acting Stirling eng. For marine outboard.

A 4 cylinder Stirling engine has been built and is underhoing development. Swept volume is 800cc, weight 16kg, LPG heated, water cooled, working gas is air at up to 3 bar. All seals are Rulon running dry. Pin drive ball and needle bearings are all sealed. Flywheel shown is for testing only. Orange speed control knob at left adjusts diagonal bleed between cylinders. A single gas jet draws air into the central,vertical mixing tube which branches to the four burners at top. Cooling water is divided into 4 streams at the centre of the thick base plate. These radiate cooling the comp cylinder ends and then flow upward to the 4 cylinder coolers. Regenerators are 180/ inch Stainless mesh wrapped bandage fashion. The modified Siemens pin drive gives almost linear piston rod movement. Pin drive will have a thin, unpressurized, Stainless "dog's bowl" cover. Total cost to date $500A. Two years planning and one year spare time building.

@OVAT131174 This engine was run with the Siemans Pin drive (as shown) for two years. The experience gained plus the aquision of a good method of gas circuit design has led to a complete redesign and rebuild. This rebuild is half complrte. The best power was 53 watts. It has not been used for electricity production. The target power for the redesigned engine is 1000 watts at 1000 rpm. The siemans Pin broke twice and so has been replaced with a Z shaft giving the same motion.

[OVAT131174]

if it was used to produce electricity, how many watts can it provide?

FAKEEEEEEEEEE

Very nice

Please tell me you live in Phoenix

So I can work with you on a stirling eng.

SOOOOOOOOOO Cooooool!!!

Jeff

Power the house with solar heat for your stirling!!

Looks like a nice design! I have been thinking about the nutator drive mechanism for Stirlings for almost 30 years but haven't seen many implementations to date. Good luck, and hope to see more vids soon!

Very nice. Runs smoothly. Are plans available?

[hdkivela2]

Excellent work!
