Horizontal Pop Can Stirling Engine (2)

Visit http://StirlingBuilder.com. This Stirling engine was built from plans in the book, "Eleven Stirling Engine Projects You Can Build" by Jim R. Larsen, available at the StirlingBuilder website. This is my second video posted for this engine. This time it is running with Sterno as a heat source. I do not recommend this for pop can engines. The Sterno heats the engine to over 360 degrees, which makes things get a little too hot for a low-tech engine.

can this light up a 6V bulb?



[16strings]

@sharlazia No, not a 6V bulb.  But you could use something this size to light a small LED.

40$ yeah right

[16strings]

@GAMEREVIEWERMAN Amazon has it for $31.

The displacer should be 1/4 revolution ahead of the drive piston. There is a phase differential of 90 degrees between the two.

do you have a tutorial?

[16strings]

@CCoSSmIIn1 The plans for this engine are available in the book, "Eleven Stirling Engine Projects You Can Build". The book is available at the Stirlingbuilder website and will soon also be for sale on Amazon.
