One of the long -standing problems with Stirling and other heat engines has been the inability to regulate or throttle them like internal-combustion engines; now we can with this kind of Stirling engine!
"Just because it's going slower doesn't mean it gets better fuel economy", is a quote everyone on the road needs to hear. Fuel economy is dependent on your peak torque RPM, or in a sterling engine's case, the faster it goes the more efficient since what consumes fuel stays consistent.
I’ve been trying to understand how Stirling engines really work. Watched dozens of videos and just when i think i understand it, i see this baby which wiped out all my notions. The horizontal flywheel sure makes a ton of sense
Think of it as a closed loop. Inside the large glass bulb in a smaller bulb that moves back and forth to close off the glass chamber between the two glass bulbs. When the air inside the glass bulb becomes hot it pushes the smaller glass bulb inward while the air inside is expending due to heat and rushing out of the chamber as it closes. Then the hot air flows to the cold piston where the hot air will first push the piston out. When the air inside the cylinder cools it contracts pulling the cylinder back in and the same air goes back to the bulb pushing it open for the cold air to enter the chamber and repeat.
As a newbie I would have liked to know a bit more about the "extra components"... clearly that design has some interesting thing'ah-mabobs attached. And the main "bulb" really looked like it was built by aliens (space:). I'm not really sure what is driving what. But I enjoyed your video either way. Thank you. Cheers
Now you can hook up a small d.c. motor to act as an Generator to run a led light, or recharge a cell phone!! Cool!!!!! GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!!!! ALLELUIA!!!!! AMEN!!!!! 5.16.22.A.D.
Ahtom can you please help me to find and buy one of those, I really love your show and it's exactly what I enjoy doing and very therapeutic bro, thank you.
Just by pinching off the connection between the displacer and the working cylinder. You could basically build in something like that on any stirling engine, wether it is a ringbom engine (like this one) or not.

Reducing power is what you think the problem is?

Spark ignition engines aren't efficient at part throttle either.
Beautiful stirling! New style, very fast!!! Grande abraço meu irmão!! Brasil, Rio de Janeiro!👏👏👏👏❤🙌🙌🙌😊
Congrats - great machining!
nice performance! Congratulations!
Cool little motor.
That's a great job 👍
I just ordered one of these from Stirlingkit. Looking forward to running it.
Very nice and wonderful.
Never ceases to amaze me how many people believe these engines cannot be throttled. These engines were developed in cars at one point.
And the Swedes drive their Gotland-class subs with -- certainly must have a throttle.
Wow that thing goes so fast

Awesome!!!
Wow. Can’t find this on the internet . Can your provide a link? Thanks so much for filming the demo
fabulous... ❤
nice one!
Nice :)

good show...
Very Good....

thanks tom
That is interesting.
Wonder what effect of putting an ice cube in the cool part.
Awesome little contraption!! I just subscribed!! Two questions, 1 how much did it cost? 2 what kind of fuel does it need?
The engine can use any heat source.... just got to get it under/around the glass bulb.
I want to buy this one.
I wonder what the power output of this small regulateable sterling engine.
What is the rpm of the flywheel? It’s screaming. But, can it be used for work? Like a generator for cellphone or LED light?
Are you ever worried about the glass cracking?
So the throttle is controlling the cold air return great
Where can I buy this?
I have never seen a Stirling with no connection between the displacer and power pistons.
Where can I get one of these beauties?
But it costs toooooooo much
Do you have a video on how these engines operate?
You Tube has plenty
So there are no constraints between the two pistons, just air, right?
Congrats it is a gem of a thermodynamic machine
I bought this same one. It won't start idk why
I guess the speed is around between 1200rpm and 1400rpm.
I wonder how the throttle works?
Just by pinching off the connection between the displacer and the working cylinder.

Your engine definitely has a knock lol
How…
Still waiting on a practical application for these little dudes... I know, I know, it's a 'she' to you...
They're handy for driving generators. I've seen some people use them to charge their phones
They used them during the war to run radii generators be dam if I can fine one on line.
Or in england they use them to drive mine water pumps.
QUE CALIDAD JAJAJA
I object to use of "she" referring to cars or machines. They are not gender assigned. They are things.
OMG !!!!
DRY UP !
Cope
Objection noted and promptly discarded.
What about dildos?
One can anthropomorphize ANYTHING! Sheesh! Even a rock!
AMAZING WASTED TECHNOLOGY.. REPLACED .. HIGH FUEL ⛽️ PRICES.. & EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE LITHIUM BATTERIES 🔋 YIKES .. 😬
ВОТ ЭТО Я ПОНИМАЮ ОБОРОТЫ, КРАСАВЧИК
