    I am super excited. With a solar charged sand thermal battery, my mind is thinking about continuous duty heat/air engines for electric generation all day every day!

    It's amazing how I know so little about a Stirling if I'm honest. Definitely keen on building one though

    Also, don't forget about the Traveling Wave type sterling engine, patent by Peter Ceperely

    Stirling engine + heat pump could turn ambient thermal energy into electrical energy.

      Absolutely there is ways to make free energy or at least make more energy than you put in all suppressed by the Evil Globalists..
      Joseph Newman's device looked real promising but seems he was stopped from being able to get it patented...

      Requires more energy to pump the heat than you get back from the stirling engine. 2nd law of thermodynamics is a b*t*h.

    • @technosaurus3805
      @technosaurus3805 Před rokem

      @@danrayson The extra energy comes from the surrounding environment.
      Your false assumption is based on a closed system.
      Heat pumps can exceed 400% thermal efficiency while Stirling engines can approach 50% efficiency leaving roughly a 2x return on starting energy that would allow exponential returns up to the thermal limit of the heat pump or Stirling engine.
      That leaves half of the power to run the system with the rest usable as power heat or cooling.
      If it was on a household or apartment building scale where the unit could provide heat/A.C. and hot water + refrigeration with underground piping instead of forced air units and a mini-split style distribution instead of ductwork, it would just be an engineering problem to approximate the system size and battery requirements (or just sell excess power back to the grid until compatible appliances are commercially available)
      On a commercial/industrial scale the potentials and incentives are even greater, but the initial capital cost is still too high because the R&D isn't there yet, much less the supply. Very few individual businesses could afford the 1-off engineering and manufacturing to offset the cost savings throughout their single company - Amazon, Google, maybe ... Tesla could integrate the systems into a vehicle to power the house and charge while docked while also providing a hybrid function that could be powered by any burnable fuel.

    Excellent explanation and overview. Thanks.
    It would be nice to see a DIY/demo version that can put out 100-300w of mechanical or electrical power. Maybe a solar concentration version (I know that's a big ask in UK at the mo ;-)

  • @kreynolds1123

    Now that your back to stirling engines, would you consider making an alpha stirling with parts (cylinder and piston) from two worn out car shock absorbers? I think it would be a fascinating reuse of junk parts.

    Could you some how use the air flow rising up through the chimney to spin a fan in the pipe and drive a fan outside of the pipe to move the heat around the room

  • @McRootbeer

    Sounds like an acoustic diaphragm alpha Stirling engine would be close to the ideal for this application. If such an engine can actually be made 😅.

    Have you ever heard of the singing pipes it's where they take a bit of screen window screen jam a bunch up into a pipe about 4 to 6 in and then they heat the bottom of the pipe and then take the heat away and the air resonates in the chamber making a tone

    How difficult is it to build thermo Acustic engines?

  • @ScarletFlames1
    @ScarletFlames1 Před 2 lety

    This might sound really stupid.. But would it be possible to run a stirling engine with the hot side on one side of the stirling engine and insulated and the cold side on the other and open to the air? Would that introduce enough extra energy into a system that it would produce extra power?
    I am saying this because looking at raw data of compressors shows a 3.5COP and stirling engines have been proven at 40% thermal efficiency.. Is there anything actually stopping this from working? Maybe adding a bypass to whichever side gets too much of its intended temperature. For example if the cold side gets too cold for the compressor to keep operating it re-routes it into a standard cooling fin arrangement to absorb heat from the environment while still pumping heat for the stirling engine to run. A 1000watt compressor would deliver 3500 watts of heating and at 40% efficiency that comes out to 1400watts from the hypothetical stirling engine. This of course runs off ambient heat, but finding a way to harvest ambient heat for energy is basically a holy grail of power generation, could someone smarter than me explain to me in detail why my brain is telling me "this shouldn't work" despite raw numbers saying it should?

    Hi Robert always love your videos can you please look into Joseph Newman's free energy device..
    I truly believe we had free energy devices a long time ago that has been suppressed, that goes way back to a civilisation that was eliminated from history great book (The one world Tatarians the greatest civilisation ever to be erased from history by James w Lee ....

  • @ACTSRevolution
    @ACTSRevolution Před 2 lety

    Stirling engines have proven over hundreds of years to be economically useless. But a more general sense of traveling wave engines has had a lot of real-world application. Maybe it's time to reinvent these with frictionless Boron-Aluminum-Magnesium/TitaniumDiboride bearings. A reverberatory piston engine uses normal shock vibration to atomize a small amount of fuel for a low-compression combustion cycle (no carburetor--like a Model T). Internal combustion is always more effective than external, but the load must be tuned to the engine torque to use an extreme-simplicity traveling-wave concept like stirling. Since a transmission is a huge loss in a hi-efficiency system, maybe a genset and energy storage backside is a better route? A steady load genset might be simple enough to allow easy multi-fuel swap-outs, high-efficiency, and high durability. I wonder why I can't find any DIY on YT for press-forging BAM/TiB2 bearings. It sounds like a mechanical experimenter's wild dream.
