Guys, I didn't make the engine. It was sent to me from Banggood for review as part of our cooperation. I just made the parts that you see on the video. I will be making some interesting stuff in the near future so please stay tuned! John

[@machinerin151]

Ah, I see you've never driven an old shitty gas sipper with halogen headlights.

[@zedd81]

Why did the engine bog down when the lights were attached?

[@xostler]

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]

sonicwifi40 lol no I haven’t. I’ve seen it before while using an inverter though, but it’s always cool to me to see the laws of the universe at work

[@jayzenitram9621]

@@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.

An RC plane powered by this would be amazing

[@raelik777]

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.
