Minto's Freon engine has far more output from what I saw demonstrated many years ago. It's byproduct was air conditioning as well. The Freon Cycle (heat, cold, kinetic) is well documented and in commercial/private use world wide.. .Common Refrigeration is just one simple variation..
Wow! cool car and I thought I just heard some oil company executives gasp! Btw, I love that Irish fiddle music!
Mine would be a fire wood powered one. I want one to take to town when gas gets too high. As long as it could do 10 miles I be in like flint. Nice job on the unit. Will it start from a dead stop or do you need a little push? Keep up the hood work!
it's about time! i've been waiting for someone to make a stirling car forever! and this video was uploaded on my birthday!
Awesome! I have a rowing bike with the same type of steering setup. It is very similar in size to your machine. I have found through painful experience that you might want to think about changing that center pivot axle to one which steers the wheels individually. I was bruised for weeks after flipping over. With regard to your marvelous machine, it is lovely! I wish I had your ingenuity!
That's awesome! Pretty quick too for something Stirling powered!
Did you measure it's top speed ?
@Wolfenion this engine runs entirely on heat, no gas, no exhaust
If you put a NuVinci or Rohloff hub to this cart, you will have more than enough torque to start the cart from a stop and then increase the speed. The advantage of Nuvinci and Rohloff is that you can gear down at a stop. You can not do that with a derailer.
@jimbronaugh Swedish Gotland class submarines are powered by stirling engines.
The stirling does not make noise like the other engine. Its manufactreng can be chipper. I tested 3 prototipes. I am very glad for your performance. It pushes me ahead,
Congratulation.
Very cool. Like the others posters, I am curious about the amount of propane required to run this and its efficiency against a internal combustion propane engine.
Cool machine!
Very impressive accomplishment ! Thank you so much for posting !
Awesome wee engine - I wish I had one. Well done.
You naysayers with your negative inane comments have no vision beyond mainstream, preferably with a blow-hard valve.
@JabrilAqdas
well, they all utilise differences in pressure to facilitate movement, but in stirling engines the piston assembly is an entirely sealed unit, the pressure isnt released, rather both the expansion and contraction of gasses within that sealed unit creates movement, that's why you didnt see any steam coming out and it wasn't making traditional steam engine sounds.
caloric your real name is Heath Robinson!This is the first Stirling engine I have seen that has a practical use.Nevertheless,I will continue to ride my Honda!
Without the combustion engine we would all be driving a vehicle like this one.
@goranvu stirling engines dont have much of a problem with speed. their main issue seems to be power. so while you might be able to get it up to a high speed it might take you a while to get there.
This guy is a genius
simply GLORIUS!
great job i love it.thanks for sharing your fun
cool engine and good music Good luck on your future projects
That would be PERFECT for a parade! :)
I dig it deep! Great Job!
you are a master of Stirling E
ngines
For other vehicles DON'T Drink and drive!
For this DON'T Smoke and drive!
how i wish i could have the plans to this fine automobile :)
@BrownMaterial your so right! Plus brake heat could further fuel the stirling!
Great job man!
From now on more V-8's and much less bran... the smart man on UA-cam told me to ;-)
@doodooface1ful
I know how they work :P
I was just messing around with the V12 comment. I think it's crazy this car even runs.
Welldone looks amazing.
@doodooface1ful Not entirely true. The heat is coming from a flame and there can't be a flame without by-products.
Nonetheless, this was a great video.
Amazing machine, but I would guess that it uses more fuel creating the temperature differential than a gas engine of similar output would.
i was going to say how obvious your edits were but judging by the comments i see why you didn't bother trying to make it look more believable. lmfao. Genius!!!!
Rube Goldberg lives on.
I have a V12 in my car hunny, that guy there see, he's got.. erm. A bunch of parts for an engine.
AWESOME
@Nightwolf294 it runs on heat diferental it can be powerd by body heat ,a candle, propain, gas , wood burning, even ice!!! depnding on the sirling engine
ludicrous speed GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When you're not using the cart for travel you can attach an alternator to it and charge your batteries. I like it.
Would you mind showing the piston size and construction?
Does it time travel?
It is the best of all!!! It is really working thing, and not the stupped toy, by stupped guys, who need only PR ! How much does it cost to get drawings of the engine? With the bestest wishes to autor from Russia!
it would have been more interesting if you were burning wood instead of butan gas, or something you can easily find in nature, nevertheless, great job, i admire your mechanical engineering skills
Very very nice.
THAT'S COOL MAN
that guys a genius where do i buy mine
well done!
nice work
great
very cool
thanks
@runescapeownsnubs
Breaks are really useful.
They allow you to stop.
This is so cool. Is air the working gas? Also, did you pressurize the engine and if yes, how many bars?
why's it sound like a diesel generator, and how come no footage of it pulling away from a standstill?
Good job Dude!! What you think to use a mirror system to save gas using the sun energy and then save GAS ?
still looks better than a prius
but is it efficient?
someones bored in retirement
@soapshouse
What vehicle does not need fuel? And don't say electric cause the power to recharge comes MOSTLY from coal. Stirling engines are not really suited for vehicles anyway they don't throttle well, they are best at constant speed operation, such as used in power generation. You can use ANY heat source, solar, geothermal etc. If you build one to very high levels of engineering they are pretty amazing, and efficient, and quiet, and reliable, but difficult to build in your garage.
What are the numbers in dynamo?
Really nifty ! How many HP? Have you thought about using it with solar dish or lens to generate electricity?
Congratulations.I Wolud like to know what the diameters used, piston and sleeve.Thanks
@xoxoXoieoxox thanks so much mate
thats so cool now i wanna design and make my own but i need oneyh to buy the parts still cool though
EXELENT!!
cool
I wouldn't mind the speed if I could make significantly more kilomteres with the same quantity of LPG than with a conventional LPG engine. It would be a cruising paradise. Do you have any calculations?
I just want one of these big enough to turn an alternator.
Nice!!!!!!!
Could you please post another longer video?
@tnhl77 no prob knolage should be free this is how evolution happens =3-
@xoxoXoieoxox I tried fema last night could not find it thanks very much for your help
@xoxoXoieoxox not the first thing I have accidentally blown up do you have plans for one?
wery nice =D
its strange i dont see a buggy
bello
omg, is that a time machine?
@TheIndustrialphreak unfortunetly wood gas is h2co2 (dihydrogencorbondioxside) with is a 2-1 hydrocarbon so wood gas is still a hydrocarbon so sory to say fail on nthat one and i have my own wood gasifier and steam engines =3-
But will it blend?
@Rotitomato Theirs still combustion going on here, its just exothermic combustion. :'3
get it to santa pod!!!
I admire the curiosity of the human mind, but I drive a car with a V6. I would prefer a V8. I want to go forward, not backward. Nothing wrong with the internal combustion engine.
Norwich NY ????
@xoxoXoieoxox I agree that is why I work on fuels that are not oil I want to be free from those constraints of oil prices I dream of a free fuel era in that we could do anything with out worry of our fuel problems
??? Isn't it same as stream engin?
.now if you could get the engine to run on any thing other than hydrocarbons then it would bee really cool =3-
how Hp power haves?
@assym2006 good thinking
@xoxoXoieoxox do you have plans I want to build a gasifier so bad!
why does it have brakes -.-
Does this guy ever describe anything???
@tnhl77 i supose i could do a couple of crude drwings so u get the idea give me 3 days then ill post them on my channel onece again theres an ok wood gasifier plans on the u.s. fema web site but i think it could be better (ill be back) lol =3-
It's 1880 again!
Why the hell dont they run cars using stirling engines.
@tnhl77 i totaly agree i imagine how far and how fast tek. would advance with out capitalizum =3-
exelente trabajo compañero espero que te sea reconcido y premiados todos sus trabajos atte regiomontano50 en yutub saludos
any chance of a burnout
@xoxoXoieoxox not capitalizum I would not have started my recycle company if it was not for that I don't like monopoly you know there are only a few oil companies so they can decide our fates we need to allow for new stuff but they buy up ideas and mothball them
@tnhl77 ok yes i do have plans but i got then from a mixture of the fema web site and victory gas works taut me the rest if u need more in fromation just respond i guess (but i guess the most important thing in gasification is 4 things the cracking chamber then to clean and cool and try to get all the moisture out of the smoke then it should work =3-
Чудо враждебной техники!
This guy has got to be a retired engineer with to much time on his hands..
@zaqua3 Then I would see a point in it, but still it should be done, other wise, IC engines are still winning.
