  • This is a free piston manson engine that I designed and build.
    It is a hot air engine but not a Stirling Engine.
    It is extremely simple. A working and displacer cylinder and a working and displacer piston, a conrod and two slots for exhaust. That´s it. Not even a flyweel.

    That's just beautiful. Watching your video, i had a vision of 4 of them lined up in serries. Two in the center, with pistons held together, each connected to another on its other side via a seesaw beam. With two 180 degrees out of phase with the other two, and symmetric from left to right, the motor would be well balanced.

      🔴 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.

    Interesting device. It does not have to be slow to heat and cool. This is because in your model, the use of glass is slowing heat transfer. Aluminum or copper would heat and cool quickly, tho it wouldn't be a good display as a glass test tube.
    Yes, it is similar to the Stirling design, tho no rotational energy is produced or used, and it is open to atmosphere. no separation of cool and hot zones by a diaphram. consider the 2 designs side by side and you see the operational differences.
    This design is the forerunner of the steam engine, as used in locomotives and early machinery in the 1800's

    The glass syringe's will have better performance if you can use wet 800 paper to polish up the piston and after use some WD40 and dry with a tissue.

  • @dkean4
    @dkean4 Před 10 lety +7

    It is still a Stirling engine. The hot air leaks out into the environment ever so little each time the stroke tops, which recycles the energy dynamic and allows the upper chamber to get rid of the excess hot air. And as it goes down it brings in a little of the cold air from the outside. That, together with the momentum of the piston translates to a 90 degrees shift in the upper cavity. The piston's momentum alone causes most of the phase shift, because half of the time it is fighting the gases.
    Good job, though.

    How about a trio of modifications? (1) Fins on both ends to aid heat transfer in and out of the system. (2) Seal the entire system and presurise the air to increase thermal capacity. (3) Make the hot and cold cylinder walls of aluminium to aid heat transfer still further. I guess you'll probably need a stronger elastic band after that. ;-).

    It's fascinating to me that the heat exchange necessary to make engines like these run happens so rapidly. It's easy to understand why internal combustion engines operate due to the huge differential in heat/pressure, but these little engines rely on rapid heating/expansion, and then inrush/cooling to function. Anyway, you did a really nice job, and I applaud your use of dental floss as an anti-friction seal! (Just be sure to use the smaller gauge O-rings when flossing ;-)

    • @Latheman666
      @Latheman666  Před 8 lety +1

      +Mark Bunds Thanks. The problem of heat exchange is the reason why external combustion engines can't be scaled easily. The volume increases by the power of three but the surface only by the power of two. So it's getting harder and harder to get the heat into the engine the bigger it is.

    • @mbunds
      @mbunds Před 8 lety

      +Latheman666 Cool! So that explains why we don't see very large engines of this type. I'll bet that even if the heat COULD be transferred into a large engine efficiently, the air contained in the larger volume would have too much mass to cool quickly enough to complete a cycle. So, we just build an engine powered by a few thousand of these little guys, and problem solved! (This would certainly provide an economic boost for Frank Zappa's dental floss ranch)

    • @alexwang2419
      @alexwang2419 Před 8 lety

So, it was considered as an economically risky project, and it was never mentioned again.

    @rasberryjam2178 Před 9 lety

    I have a question about this engine. If a magnet moving through a copper coil creates electricity and thus also creates waste heat... could you wrap the bottom of the tube in copper wire and have the piston bottom be a strong neodymium magnet that would pass through the coil and create electricity and also waste heat and use the waste heat to heat the tube and thus keep the piston moving? It would use the heat AND it would make electricity.
    I'm not sure how much heat is needed to make this piston move and I am unsure how much wire would be needed with a magnet to create the heat needed. I'd love to see someone do this though. Would be pretty awesome. I'm also curious that if instead of the rubber band if you could use a metal spring OR a air spring from another plunger in a vial? I imagine the spring would be easier.

      efficiency was not the goal here. Of course converting heat to motion is never efficient, but use of metals for heat conduction improve this. You can make a bigger cylinder from alloy and carbon graphite piston and theoretically get some useful work out of it. It would be strange for sure but imminently possible. One reason this was not advanced was the potential energy petroleum fuels had in combustion pressure conversion to motion, hence ICE engines became the favorite, tho much less efficient in use of fuel.
