very interesting engine and I like your mods, thanks for showing

Cool Have you tested to see how much power it makes?👍

@markloubser2433 7 місяців тому

If memory serves max compression for air is about 2:1.. You may check your displacer clearance..

@buildersguide4996 Рік тому

Very nicely fitting pistons by the look of it. I was going to mention the possibility of compression and decompression in the crank case but then I spotted the big hole in the side of the crank case. Must be very well fitted pistons. Do the pistons have silicon O rings? Could explain the air tightness

@TazerGames Рік тому

Very nice and compact little engine Maybe the displacer expands and hits the cylinder at the end of the stroke

@mick62569 7 місяців тому

Nice. Extra heat would not hurt at all. Tight compression is good for power.

@janhemmer8181 Місяць тому

A good Stirling engine needs compression. With adiabatic temperature rise in the order of the difference between the high temperature compartment and the low temp one. Only then will the optimal performance be achieved. Look at the Carnot cycle diagram of pressure and temperature.

@spencerwheeler353 Рік тому

it needs to be vertical for water cooling to circulate and gas torch on head to give really powerful output

@crazydoug66 Рік тому

I could find no info on this engine, so thankyou for a little input on it,s operation. Even without water cooling, the cylinder never gets too hot to touch. Would probably need it though if using a torch! My setup is good enough for demonstration, but not for maximum output. Thanks.

Hot side should be covered to lower heat losses. How much power?

Hi, where did you order this from I would like one to make a generator with

Nice engine Doug. Actually stirling engines should have compression but no friction. If they spin freely without compression they are unlikely to run. The engine was designed by Andy Ross and here's what's going on inside: ukposts.info/have/v-deo/cJyio3t4jI9o02w.html

@Xynudu Рік тому

What's making the noise ? Is the displacer a very close fit ? Interesting engine. Cheers Rob

@crazydoug66 Рік тому

It is indeed very noisy, yet i dont see a reason. The displacer has .035 clearance

@PALM311 Рік тому

Very nice! Never seen one before, were or are they commercially made and still available that you know of? Thanks fir sharing.~Paul

I know nothing more about it. Maybe others can add some further knowledge

@FrankensteinDIYkayak 6 місяців тому

is that a desktop for show engine or just a sub assembly? whats the specs on it? would be interesting to see a number of those operating in parallel. where did you buy it? was it intended to be modified?

@crazydoug66 6 місяців тому

It is capable of doing work but not with the small burner i am using. There is more info on the internet but not a lot.

@FrankensteinDIYkayak 6 місяців тому

@@crazydoug66 I've noticed the lack of good info. the basic mechanical components there like cylinder casting, crankshaft look like they could be the basis for something with more power. a water kacket on cooling cylinder, even flame on hot head, a good regenerator, etc would be nice.

with the EDM and the FDM tech available now, in exotic metals... why isnt anyone simply making an inconel cylinder/heat exchanger with the same layout as andy ross was depicting in his builds, where the brazing failed on his folded sheets? swap the pistons and cylinders out for deeply splined and interlocking parts with maximum surface area, no worries about machining or needing to rely on brazing techniques... surface area and transfer rate is always the limiting factor with these... then pump the dam thing full of helium :) i would, but in the country i live? lets just say that a mere bar of inconel requires one sell their house first. any company offering services? rely on military expenditure to stay in business, not private work. KA-CHING! "show me the money"...
