Mistä löysit piirustukset tai mistä otit mallia tämän stirlinkisi tekoon?

Regeneraattori onkin minulle uusi käsite, mites se toimii periaatteellisesti, sehän kuitenkin parantaa lämpötaloutta?

@siviili2003 Omasta päästä on piirustukset, eli en ole ottanut mallia muualta. Regeneraattori varastoi lämpöä, joten kaasu palaa esilämmitettynä kuumennettavaksi.

bad thing about it is that you could use that propane in a combustion engine and get more hp

[hdkivela2]

@calholli Propane is just for testing. A combustion engine won't run at all with burning horse shit but stirling engine will run just fine :)

@hdkivela2 could you power this sterling engine with a fresnel lens & the sun?

[hdkivela2]

@djdnauk1977 Of course. Stupid pile of iron does not know what is the source of heat.

Beautiful!

I am working on my prototype...

Mayby in next month I will can show it....

?

[777strongcoffee]

nice work..... Looks like the design allows you to vary certain parameters.

[dirtydogvideo]

excellent design and work on that stirling!..

[staskaaa1]

Hello. What kind of piston seal your engine is using ? Simple ring, rubber bellows or rolling diaphragm ?

[djdnauk1977]

@hdkivela2 makes me wonder why hotter countries dont use sterling engines to power things? like households or vehicles etc?

@hdkivela2 - Kari, I live in Iowa in the US. Here a stirling engine would not want for fuel. Here we produce hogs, cows, chickens which is an unlimited source of shit to dispose of and producing energy in the process would be wonderful!
