    Pretty cool design journey. Kind of you share,
    Surprised to see you did make use of any 3d printed parts!

      Here's the translation:
      Thank you for liking the versions. Regarding the 3D printer, I have one :) but I wanted to create something that doesn't require the use of 3D printing. Unfortunately, my designs weren't inspiring enough; only a few people attempted to build something like it. I think I'll use the experience to build new versions, this time utilizing all the possibilities that my DIY forge offers ;)

    This is a brilliant exploration. I'm curious how efficient you can get it.

      Thank you for your interest in the topic. The maximum speed was 480 rpm

    Hell yeah, take advantage of the natural temperature gradients in the environment to perform work. I suspect the Navy has kicked around this idea, given the success of nuclear powered stirling engines in certain submarines. Solar thermal power can power a ship with a large enough surface area of a black selective absorber, bonded to a large loop of heat pipes, and a very wide aspect ratio piston, and an underwater heat sink composed of heat pipe struts which form a hydrofoil to lift the ship from the water and reduce drag.

      You’re absolutely right; utilizing natural temperature gradients offers exciting possibilities. The idea of using solar thermal power to drive a ship is truly innovative. It's impressive how far technology has come, especially with nuclear-powered Stirling engines in submarines. Your suggestion of a black selective absorber and heat pipes sounds very promising. I find the concept of lifting a ship out of the water using a hydrofoil-like heat exchanger particularly interesting. Thanks for sharing these inspiring thoughts!

    Cool. This is a nice design. Out of curiosity how much energy do you estimate was harvested by the engine? Milde critique your diction while very clear, is a bit stiff. I would recommend that you dictate your script using text-to-speech software, and then try to do a second recording explaining what what the video is presenting using the script as a guild line. You've got a good voice so you just need practice to gain confidence.

      Thank you for your comment and your feedback on my voice. I will try to do even better, but it is difficult. That’s why many people avoid using voice in their videos.
      Regarding the engine's performance, it produces a maximum of 3W. It is a small model created with the simplest means. I think if the engine were larger and professionally built, the performance would correspondingly increase. In the long term, solar heat or waste heat should be used as an energy source.

      @@diyforge Your diction, voice and explanations are great, don't change anything. Well maybe change your boat propeller to a "water type" propeller as it looks more like a plane propeller right now.

      @@diyforge Don't get me wrong, you are leagues better at presentation than me. But, I do think that what would slow your growth as a channel is down to how you read the script. Your content is amazing, so you have a lot of potential. Just a little less perfect will add the missing spice.

    how much torque , how much whorsepower ?
    or watts

      I think maximum 3W, it is a small model created with the simplest means. MAX 480 rpm
