dude you knocked it out of the park. I get it now, I just needed to see a visual representation on how a sterling engine works. Thanks a lot!

A correction to the phrasing. When the cylinder is heated up, the air pressure within does not only increase 'relative' to the air pressure outside. It increases in both 'absolute' terms 'and' relative to the outside pressure.

I never knew how this works until now thank you but my dad doesn’t understand how it works still😂😂😂

Which part is doing the work? The piston, the Displacer or both?

This is not a Stirling Engine. Without a regenerator it is simply a hot air engine. To explain how a Stirling Engine works you need to explain how the regenerator improves the efficiency.

Thanks, after searching through a number of 'explanations' on UA-cam and elsewhere, this animation makes it very clear indeed. Excellent!

Thanks

Awesome. finally, i got that!

Had to watch it 2 times. Now I get it, and hope this helps someone: the displacer is NOT moved by the air at all, but by the piston. It's so simple now, wish you mentioned that. I was getting stuck at "how in the hell does the air move the displacer so it can move the piston and so on?" 😂

You Haven't ACTUALLY Explained it. Have You. There's Two Cylinders. A Big Cylinder and a Little Cylinder. The Stirling Engine Requires a Temperature Difference. A Hot side and a Cold side. The Big Cylinder: As its Heated - The Air Expands, The Pressure Difference, Pushes The Big Cylinder - UP. The Piston AT THE TOP Cools, as its On the Cold Side. The Air, Under it Contracts, Sucking the Piston Back Down Again. Furthermore, There's ALSO the Little Cylinder. As the Big Cylinder Piston, Moves Up - It Contracts "Squezes" the Air in The Little Cylinder. This Pressure, Helps Push the Big Cylinder Piston, Back Down Again. Furthermore, There's The Fly Wheel. The Fly Wheel ALSO Helps Move the Big Cylinder Piston, Back Down Again. Back Down Again, The CYCLE, Re-Starts. The Air is Heated. It Expands and the Pressure, pushes the Cylinder Piston UP Again.

Fantastic animation! Thank you for explaining things so clearly.

Best sterling engine explanation ever!

Isn't it possible to use it with solar energy, how much efficiency gain/loss does it have compared to solar panels. Any idea?

Every other video I watched I couldn’t understand but this one finally made me understand thanks so much!

Wow! Great explanation and animation!

bro the first 13 seconds has the most unsettling music

A very lucid explanation of how a gamma stirling works.Now would you please do similar for an Alpha and a beta as from the videos and adverts on the internet there is a lot of confusion about them.

Very good show

That music is distracting and adds nothing except distraction.

Could u map each activity within the sterling engine with PV & TS, and derive efficiently? Thank u

Can we run sterling engine efficiently between dry ice and regular ice?

So basically, the cooler was the energy used for Mechanical work?

I'm curious. Why couldn't you reverse the direction of the flywheel without changing the heat source. Seems it you simply stopped it and then gave it a shove in the other direction it would still work fine. I'm confused.

Variants of the stirling engine are used in submarines around the world

Thank you! I wanted to build a stirling engine but all of the sources I could find would tell the function in a confusing manner, with different sources giving different answers. This really helped!

I didnt understand before. I thought the big piston was actually the one being acted on, but to my surprise it is the smaller piston that is acted upon! Great explanation.

One of the most energy efficient motors ever created, even muchg better than modern internal combustion engines.

Why doesn't a little air leak out with every stroke of the power piston?

Wicked video. That engine is a marvel of engineering 🙂😊

I love this video I watched it because I have one and wanted to know how it works thank you very much

Best explanation of a Stirling Engine I've heard.

excellent!

Independent thermal energy device.

What is Hot and Cool chamber?

Stirling engine is Beautiful Engine

Fascinating

I don't understand why it wouldn't work in either direction for both hot or cold on the bottom surface once it gets going

Hey nice video dude!

So if you have a solar water heater, and place a sterling engine on top of it, it should be able to run on solar power?

Super cool! Thanks for the explanation

I've seen a lot of videos trying to describe how Stirling engines work. Yours is by far the clearest.

Niiiice, thanks for the video, great explanation. I dig the graphics too, well done 👏

Thanks for the demo, plus the device you personally had was so cute. Have you ever seen a nitinol version?

If the flywheel is changed to a gear, you can use the stirling engine to make a Tiny toy car

Thank you for such great presentation! Why not to add a Sterling engine to a combustion engine? There are already heat and cold available in it 🤔, my $0.02 👍

This is so awesome 😎

too slow

If car engines displace about 90% of their energy into heat , how can we use this engine to supplement car engines and make them more efficient ?

Best explanation on UA-cam

A good simplified explanation but as a potential Stirling builder i would have liked to have seen more information on angels of the crankshaft etc. Thanks for sharing.
