In this video I assemble a kit that makes a Stirling Engine. It is manufactured by Kontax in the U.K. and can be found on eBay ebay.to/2IujYC5 and on their own website www.stirlingen... I have no connection with this company and I paid full price for my kit.
There are also a number of cheaper Stirling Engine kits on eBay, although I have no idea about the quality or performance of these. ebay.to/2IRDR5C

Sorry TM, I know you're a good guy and it's your money to do whatever you like with, but it did seem slightly illogical of you to make that comment!

5:09 I don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but the screws for the pillars are always plastic, regardless of what color base you have. Apparently it's so the metal pillars don't transfer heat between the plates and lower engine efficiency.

Because of this video, I got my Stirling engine out and run it after 3 years because of a crack in the glass in the side of the engine that I thought was going to make it stop working, but it didn't! The crack wasn't wide enough to warrant pressure loss. It still works like it always did. I love your videos! Keep it up!

I bought the KS90 Solar about 5 years ago, it's been running 24/7 on a dimmed 10 watt incandescent lamp for the last 3 years. The bearings get an occasional wash in mentholated spirit every now and then, and a drop of 3-in-1 oil on the power piston rod where it goes through the brass bush.

The only maintenance is a dusting and light oil once a year. It's one of my favorite curiosities.

Stirling engines are such fascinating creations, how they take so little energy and turn it into so much momentum, and can run for as long as that temperature differential exists, they're great... :D

@joshuarosen6242 6 лет назад

The thing is that they turn a very small amount of energy into a very small amount of momentum. Yes, they are interesting and look cool but they produce only the tiniest amount of power, which is why they have almost never been used for anything in the real world.

@BLY99 6 лет назад

They are actually used in submarines.

@RWBHere 6 лет назад

They used to sell Stirling engine cooling fans.... which were powered by a heat source. Huh?!

@joshuarosen6242 6 лет назад

I know Stirling engines have found some limited use in the past and may even be used to this day for very specialised applications but it seems to be a common misunderstanding that they produce almost free power because it takes only a small temperature difference to make the flywheel turn. Unfortunately, as soon as you put any load on them, they pretty much stop. This is the same with the nodding bird novelty toy that you have probably all seen. It looks impressive that the bird can keep going apparently powered by nothing more than a glass of water. Unfortunately, the power produced, just like one of these Stirling engines, is absolutely minuscule.

@Sekeletu 6 лет назад

You cannot say anything about the power production of Stirling, because it depends on the construction and environmental conditions. There are big generators based on Stirlings that exist and operate, they look similar to reflective satelite antenna and Stirling is placed in the focus point of it. The efficiency per square meter is much higher than the photovoltaic systems and the construction doesn't need rare earth materials. So far they're just more expensive because of the precise mechanics, much like in standard sombustion engines, and they are not mass produced. But I can see that eventually they could got cheaper and potentialy replaced the existing PV cells.

The engine worked, only 40 rpm, but apparently had amazing power, with a 12 inch wide cylinder bore! It had 700,000 pounds of pressure and was a wapping 21 horsepower engine! The first Stirling engine made was used for a quarry until unfortunately became overheated.

I built a similar sort of engine for the final assessment for the thermodynamics course of my electronic engineering diploma. didn't necessarily have to write a essay to demonstrate an understanding. very nice kit, but I was a starving student. i used a cd spindle lid, some aluminium plate, PVC pipe, and lots of epoxy. the power pistion (small one) was cast from epoxy, and was a nightmare getting it free of bubbles. had to make pretty much everything a few times to get everything perfect enough to run (there really isnt much energy here), but incredibly satisfying. obviously got full marks for that one

@PSUQDPICHQIEIWC 6 лет назад

I wouldn't want to assemble some acrylic/glass/polished kit with lotion all over my hands. Talk about fingerprints. Just get some nitrile gloves and solve both problems, even if one of them wasn't worth considering. But really, as someone who works with a lot of solvents, I've learned my lesson after having cracking, bleeding hands and paper-thin thumbnails. Wearing gloves allows you to avoid solvents and it keeps your hands clean of any oil/dirt/grease/etc. Cleaner hands = less aggressive soap requirements. It's done more for me so far than lotion.

@wolfwind9658 6 лет назад

Dream Services International the creams are for after you work not during. They also aren't supposed to be protecting your hands just help to make them heal faster.

@PSUQDPICHQIEIWC 6 лет назад

Yeah, I know that. I mean, I have a tub of the same stuff you recommended. The 'two birds with one stone' comment was more of an obliquely comedic stab at whoever the hell thought his hands were unsightly. I bring up solvent exposure because he mentioned alcohol. If gloves or other ppe can help prevent skin damage in the first place, I think it's worth it. Lotion won't fix your hands after scouring parts in MEK & toluene -- well maybe it'll help, but it's still going to suck until your fingernails grow out completely. I know not all work scenarios are the same. Labor outdoors in the weather gets hard on the hands and wearing waterproof gloves tends to cause as many problems as it fixes. My general recommendation is that prevention is a good thing to seek when possible. There's no reason to not use both.

Funny thing about Stirling engines is that powering one can generate hot and cold air, this design probably won't, but Coleman produced a line of Stirling coolers in the early 2000s, they didn't sell very well because they started around $400US and I don't think they are made anymore, but they used a Stirling engine to cool the cooler compartment. Might be something fun to find for another video, I see them on ebay from time to time.

Another fascinating video, I look forward to your product reviews and the humour that you use in your descriptions. I work in the heating field and there are a number of micro chp gas fired boilers which are using Stirling engines to produce heat and electricity for domestic use, unfortunately they are not yet reliable enough for general use. I saw my first Sterloing engine in Portsmouth (UK) University and it seems that the engine was invented in the 19th Century.
