hey im from mexico n i wanna now what part of the stirling motor make the force ?

i mean what make it stronger ??

maybe we could use it 4 free energy cars bikes etc etc.

@STICKEREAT It is a heat engine so any heat source that you have available might be turned into motion with this type of engine. As you can probably see this design does require quite a lot of heat and in fact it doesn't produce a great deal of power. But that doesn't mean that a solar heat source can't be used to generate stored power over time by charging batteries for instance.

Wow this is amazing! What are the power specifications of this engine? Can we power a bike using this?

[mgburke888]

@AbhayG27 In its current form I doubt it. It generally takes quite a lot of heat to generate sufficient energy this way, thus in vehicles they have some practical limtations that go well beyond simply bolting one in.

However if you're have time combined with a free energy source that you're willing to use to charge a battery then you might effectively power other devices.

making it a 4 piston would be as easy to make but with 2 times the power no?

[mgburke888]

@Snowdone It has four pistons in its current form if you count the displacers. Otherwise you could I suppose increase the number of pistons as much as you like, and if in so doing you had an infinite source of heat to take advantage of then you should be able to generate more power.

scotty i need me power! IM GIVING IT ALL SHE'S GOT CAPTAIN!!!!!

[Snowdone]

@mgburke888 PLANS PLZ!!!

[Snowdone]

@mgburke888 yeah I was talking about the power pistons but anyways great design !

Neds a load test for data
