    • @xostler
      @xostler Před 4 lety +2

      Zedpower mechanical energy is being converted into electrical energy.
      Electricity is generated through induction from the magnetic fields traveling through a copper coil. The conversion is never 100% efficient. So the engine slows down because some of the energy is lost through the friction, which turns into heat.

      @@xostler Not friction, induction. Ever hear of the concept of regenerative breaking? That is when you turn an electric motor (for example in an electric car) into a generator to send electricity back to the battery. What your are seeing here is akin to that.
      The engine slows down when the circuit is closed because the rotating magnets in the rotor are being required to do work by moving electrons around said closed circuit. When the circuit is open (the light is disconnected), no electrons are moving through the windings that surround the spinning magnets and therefore there is no inductive resistance on the rotor and that is why the engine speeds up.

      Unfortunately it doesn't produce nearly enough power. Some mechanical improvements that could help it achieve that would be large heatsink fins on the cold side, more precisely machined linkages between the hot piston, cold displacers, and the nutator (wobble plate). Also, putting a faring over the engine behind the cold side to keep the hot side hot as well as putting regenerators (typically copper or steel wool) in the hot/cold passage to allow recapture of heat. Machining all of the cylinders, pistons and displacers to tighter tolerances, as well as using better seals would allow the working gas to be pressurized, or even replaced with a lighter weight gas, such as helium. Doing ALL of these things, as well as using a stronger heat source, might allow you to get a stirling engine up to enough power to fly a very light weight aircraft.

    @SapioiT Před 5 lety +9

    Any idea where I could find a non-toy stirling engine? I would like them for solar power for 2 reasons:
    1. with 2 stirling engines, one can be run in reverse (be given motion/torque instead of heat difference) in order to move heat and thus useful for cooling or heating different places as needed. Something generating from a few Wh to a few kWh per hour would be nice.
    2. it produces mechanical energy which can be then converted to electricity if needed or used as-is for things like a circular saw, or the pump(s) and fan(s) needed to optimize the whole setup. Especially since the direct mechanical energy can be used for things like pumping the water through the pipes and through the hot part of the stirling engine and fans can funnel air to cool the cool part of the engine and the excess can be used for what's necessary (i.e. circular saw, water pumping, electricity, aerial ropeways, endless rope drivers for moving kinetical energy over long distances, etc.).

      Not him, this guy czcams.com/video/S8PyND0BMb4/video.html, and as far as i know, he is the only one that did it so far, the process os making the blades has to be with a great level of precision, for an small axial compressor to work it has to rotate at speeds 10 times higher than real jet engines, any kind of unbalance or defect in the blades will cause turbulence in the compressor and it wont work

      Not one that self sustained, if you look up the video you will see that the jet engine cannot sustain itself, it need an electric motor to run, therefor it is not a jet engine. Even more, the flame burning on the outside of the engine presents the main problem the engine had, which is the lack of compression ratio between the compressor and the turbine, meaning that the compressor blades were simply not working. You can look up all i said in a simple google search about the Brayton Gas cycle, how it works, and what it needs to work
