  • Inspired from a Glass tube Thermo-Accoustic Engine, I decided to build something bigger and more efficient. Here is my creation. Please feel free to leave feedback or any questions.

    this is awesome. Even with that low wattage output, this is still a great generator. Think about it guys, A tea candle has an average of 40 watts of heat output for 4-5 hours. It would only take about 3 candles to rock this thing to charge your cellphone or tablet at only 1-3% efficiency !

    This is one of the best stirling engines designs I have ever seen on UA-cam. Could you provide more information like a section cut on a drawing with some rudimentary dimensions and explanation. I know the stroke and piston dia. but how does the rest come tiogether.

    OMFG! Finally someone built a large one. I'm trying to convert a 4-stroke to a high compression lamina flow engine.

      🔴 What Is Islam? ⚠️
      🔴 Islam is not just another religion.
      🔵 It is the same message preached by Moses, Jesus and Abraham.
      🔴 Islam literally means ‘submission to God’ and it teaches us to have a direct relationship with God.
      🔵 It reminds us that since God created us, no one should be worshipped except God alone.
      🔴 It also teaches that God is nothing like a human being or like anything that we can imagine.
      🌍 The concept of God is summarized in the Quran as:
      📖 { “Say, He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He does not give birth, nor was He born, and there is nothing like Him.”} (Quran 112:1-4)[4] 📚
      🔴 Becoming a Muslim is not turning your back to Jesus.
      🔵 Rather it’s going back to the original teachings of Jesus and obeying him.

    What are you using for a stack or regenerator? Is there a restricting hole? Is the cold spot critical?

    Hello, A marvellous achievement indeed, congratulations. Perhaps you could answer a couple of questions? You heat your cylinder on the end as is done on a regular stirling engine; yet all demonstration glass tube engines are heated near the middle of the cylinder. Would you mind explaining this? What kind of packing or regenerator do you use, if any? Have you measured the electrical power output of your engine?
    Thank you very much for your answers.

  • @douro20

    A thermoacoustic engine can theoretically run as fast as the standing acoustic wave it generates. Friction and inertia are the only thing which limit this.

    Great work against mechanical friction!
    -Have you measured actual temperatures yet?
    -Do you think that grooves on the piston walls are acting as gaseous piston rings?
    -Is the hot cap flat or filled with regenerator?
    -Is there empty space between regenerator and hot cap - like resonator space?
    I would try to increase thermal conduction on the hot cap and it´s internal surface area.
    There seemes to be no "glogging" with alternator - Is it with rotating PM´s without iron around coil or coils?

  • @Jeffrey314159
    @Jeffrey314159 8 років тому +1

    Is the piston made of graphite or tungsten carbide? The latter might be better in terms of tensile strength.
    If refractory properties are desired then you should use tantalum carbide

  • @Aviator168
    @Aviator168 14 років тому

    @ThePowertoolChef
    I don't think he is using any stack. A so called thermoacoustic engine essentially works like a 2 stroke engine with external combustion so the air in the cylinder is reused with some heat removed by the cold end. Power density is inversely to efficiency. The more heat removed by the cold end, the greater the power output and lower efficiency.

    Hey ScientificClo ,
    Great vid of an even greater machine. Verry inspiring would really like to how manny amps the leds are drawing or what resistance they have so we could calculate power output and effienciencie.
    Does this engine have a restrictor ?? does it have a narrow hole between hot and cold side ?? If so, can you please give the dimensions.
    Last, does it run without crank or did you never tried this ??
    Manny thnx for the vid !! Keep em coming !1

      Not OP, but it's similar to a beta stirling engine but without the displacer. The air is displaced by acoustic waves in the cylinder.

    Nicely built engine, congrats. But a misleading video. You are putting more electrical energy in than would be needed to power the leds directly, the rest is wasted as heat. You should have said that, because some viewers may think that this is a good way of using electricity to power leds. It certainly isn't. At a rough guess, I reckon about 90% of the energy of the battery is being wasted as heat. The exercise is interesting and you've done it well, but maybe you should have been clearer about putting , say 100 watts in to get get 10 watts out.

    Sorry, but this is not a thermoacoustic engine. You obviously don't know what a thermoacoustic engine is. This is just a conventional Stirling engine.
