  • DIY Build A BIG Stirling Engine From Cans. I build a very big LTD stirling engine from cans. www.rockntv1.com/2019/05/big-... I melt aluminum cans to pour molten metal into tin can mould casting for the power piston. Turn the diy cast piston on my logan lathe. Trepan cut, face groove, the hot and cold end plates of the displacer cylinder on the 40939 mill to fit the glass cylinder body. Bore copper tubing and steel pipe on the lathe for the homemade power piston cylinder. Then upgrade the aluminum piston to one made of cast iron. This large size homemade ltd stirling engine is water cooled a runs approximately 800 rpm with the cold side at 110f , hot side 325f. It has a cast iron flywheel of 10” and 5lbs or a 18” bicycle wheel. DIY stationary engine.

    Nice work brotha. Stay at this, excellent machinist work. You should check out little Peltier cooler/heaters once you get this set up to a inverter. heavier rim bigger flywheel? Or weights on the spokes we give you permission to use glue for that lol or even fill in the rim with epoxy resin sand to balance you’re really on to something

    • @ROCKNTV1
      @ROCKNTV1  4 роки тому +2

      thank you sir for watching. Over the several years building these engine a few hard facts have become evident, 1 is being rebuildable quickly and cheaply due to the fact that the colaberation of materials you see here are "repurposed" and for the most part, "in testing". A failure of any may come down to a change in material and not a redesign of a part. At this point I can say i am totaly happy to report that the welded steel pipe nipple power cylinder ua-cam.com/video/GdZkXm8DADc/v-deo.html and a light weight cast iron piston work great, and if propperly machined and fit are relitivly cheap. I could go on for hours about my findings but must leave that for a book or video I can explain my self better. As far as generating electricity from this, I am leaning toward a non magnetic fly wheel made of composits and impregnated rare earth as in the type used in wind turbines. I have also come to understand much about the actual thermal deltas needed to make power and the fluid dynamic propperties inherant in the diferrent designes of stirling engines, ie alpha, beta, gamma. Thanks again for watching, feel free to peruse my play list page for my engine videos, a thumbs up and a sub greatly appreciated.

      @ROCKNTV1  3 роки тому

      hellow sir, I honestly could not sell this engine, I could not recover my cost,lol but becuase it is realy at this point not mechanicly friendly. By this i mean, sombody other than myself would need machine tools such as a lathe and a mill to make and repair any parts. Not to mention a knowledge of how these stirling engine ought to run. Every bit of te stirling engine shown here is a comprimise of some sort, with variables ranging from the materials i had on hand, and those i was prepared to make. I hope to at some point in the future be able to provide an engine similar to this with a standardised parts list that equates to an approximate power out put. thanks for watching. john

    I have a car with a dead engine, I'll probably end up scrapping it, but if I did get it running again I'm thinking of having an electric drive motor, stirling generator and a small battery/super capacitor. Ideally the generator would be enough to cruise at highway speeds, and the battery/cap would be for acceleration/regen braking. I think it could work, you don't need that much power once you're up to speed, so I think a stirling could do it. Maybe I'll melt the old engine down...

      Ya know, I have been thinkng alot about that lately,,,, When this engine was concieved,,, in my head, it was suposed to run upside down in my pool, guess i should say "in reveres", from solar. But my testing of hot end collectors, in direct, non focused sunlight was only 140-160f . I have severa 3x4" freznel lens that were tested to be perfectly suficiant, how ever very dangerous if not aimed and mounted with some ridgitity. Not easy with wind and water to contend with, ie floating.

      @@potatohamlin5242 When I first started building these engine, I was and still am of the mindset that bigger is bettter. However here> ua-cam.com/video/u-YfPEFBh70/v-deo.html < I began to run into what i can only surmise is a compression ratio anomoly. I acctualy had the engine explode several times befor I dreamed up the tie bars that hold the hot/ cold half together. This began when i machined a very close fitting power piston and increasing the tempurature delta 800f/65f. The flywheel was NOT heavy enough to make the compresion stroke untill i increased the temp of the cold side. All of this said means IMHO that there are an infinate amount of variables to makeing useable power from these engines as there are builders.
