Crazy homemade tin can twin stirling engine

Thought I would do something a little different with this stirling engine. Let's see what I can dream up next.

[@timothypb]

It made me smile when I saw the water wheel spin. Thanks

[@HWPcville]

Great combination of movements. This is the first demonstration of a sterling engine doing some type of work that I have seen. 1) pumping water, 2) turning a mill, 3) collecting and dropping a marble. Very well done!

[@AtlasReburdened]

Now all you need is a tiny, tiny generator, a capacitor and an LED. If you make some simple brushes out of thin copper wires so that the rolling ball quickly completes a circuit to the LED from the cap you have an instant heavyweight contender for the flashing light prize.

[@Piromanofeliz]

This. is. glorious.

[@suesturges1855]

Great job! Loves it!!!!

[@StanSteelrat1]

great work ! love it

[@ВиталийДегтярев-е6р]

Excelent )))) Great work!!! ))))

[@ohUredneck]

That's freak'n cool!

[@javiersds8081]

AWESOME.

[@Mik-hm9tb]

So adorable

[@profeosvaldo]

Muy bueno!!!

[@JustinTopp]

That’s crazy

[@InventionPR]

Awsome

[@10madbananas]

woah.

[@primoperez805]

Does anyone know what the name of those gold colored 2 screw connectors he's using???

[@carmelpule6954]

Electrical connectors from a strip of " China connectors!" They come in different sizes and In the old days the insulation was China Porcelain and not as it is nowadays, simple plastic insulation.

o m g😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨

[@Toopeeneekeenho]

The best diy Stirling engine on KZbin; I want one; well done !!!!

[@napierpaxman]

LOVE to see these engines actually doing things :)))

[@napierpaxman]

PS - any idea of the thermal efficiency of heat in from the candles verses hp developed at the waterwheel?? :D

[@hypothalamusjellolap8177]

Make a kit for kids to build, its a very well thought out and creative integration of cooling and pumping mechanisms.

[@NigelLoller]

I like the fact that is cools the top plates and then uses the water head to power the water wheel ..I too have built all three things ....Separately !

[@plumtiger1]

Dude this thing is crazy! How did you figure out the counter weights and where did you get them?

[@ManualdoMotorStirling]

Congratulations, great creativity in one project. Leandro Wagner.

[@swanyut]

nice unit...like the water fall effect...which is actually a good way to cool down the water again...plus it shows that these motors can do some basic physical work (pump water ) as with the wheel and steel balls also ( lifting loads )

[@isaacperkins6612]

Could the water wheel play the role of a simple torque converter

[@Approtechie]

A lot of work, no doubt, but certainly pleasing to the senses! Nicely done!

[@hitnmiss49]

Great job. Love to see a stirling engine actually doing something. Lonnie

[@oudotcom]

Very well build ! Love the concept ! Well done !

[@grimarrorvondr6025]

Very impressive, I love it! Wonderful form and function. Thank you for sharing.

[@GarrettFogerlie]

Wow, what do you use for pistons?

[@kennyclement2823]

First off this is a wonderful Now as I see it,, the Sterling, runs the water pump, it cycles the water, the water turns the meal wheel, in the meal will drives the ball machine? Am I right or am I wrong? It's all cool!

[@kevin8poison142]

Why do they never answer questions concerning this engine.What is its use? Can it be used to power a flywheel to convert into electricity and at what wattages? Seem to be table toys to show off, this guy answers no questions, is he simply showing off how good he is? No feedback is baaaad.

[@JoshKilen]

very cool I like it.

[@christianlibertarian5488]

Now that's fun. The question of the hour, obviously, is do you need Juicy Fruit, or can you use some other flavor?

[@hazysday]

really cool ! I am going to start drinking Hawaiian punch so I can build 1 to !

[@donhover1567]

Well what can one say other than Brilliant in all respects. Please keep up the projects as I'm sure they will leave us all gobsmacked.

[@ELi-db8sg]

what is the minimum temperature difference? 40 degree Celsius? Or more?

[@Thunderstormworld]

Excellent and unique , another thing you can try is replace the metal balls with magnetic balls and plastic railings that runs through coils that will run a LED

[@attiliobastosguarnieri5416]

Pena eu poder dar somente UM like !! Excellent . Mil excelentes !!!!

[@javiersds8081]

What materials did you use to make the power pistons?

[@bjl1000]

Memorable. I will never forget this. Thank you.

[@AlwinW]

Amazing !!! Do you have documentation?

[@FrankDaBank25]

Very impressive. I'm a iellyfish right now.

[@diethardmichaelmeyer3664]

Genial! Ein Kunstwerk! Die Kraft wird sinnvoll in Kühlung (Wasser) und Schwerkraft (Kugeln)) übersetzt. Damit sind mehrere Prinzipien phänomenologisch umgesetzt!

[@baware80]

All that creativity for a toy? make something useful out of it, you have the skills.

[@therandomchannel3719]

Do you have the issue with it stopping when the displacers get too hot? Did you try to get it to turn a small motor? I would use a small ac motor you can convert it to dc and ac motor generates more at lower rpms than dc motors can.

[@stanleydenning]

I love it. I have made a pop can Sterling. A marble machine and a desk top fountain. But never did I ever think of putting them all together. A true work of art.

[@Plons0Nard]

Not crazy, just BEAUTIFULL 👍👍🤝

[@Andy-ws2ux]

I have no idea why you got dislikes, this is AWESOME

[@junreyparacuelles]

such a creative craft using stirling engine. very nice.

[@guybarnett131]

has to be the far best homemade sterling engine set up I have seen! good job!

[@donaldfifer605]

That thing is way too cool……first thing to come my mind is how many hours is tied into it ???

[@vid2ification]

The gold spray point still looks revolting, its the only memorable part 6 years later

[@georgegamentzy1816]

Absolutely amazing, a work of art.

[@emil.honganmaki5461]

Very good overall, nice to watch.

[@locouk]

It’s a Rube Goldberg Stirling engine! I miss the old you tube rating system when you could vote a video up to 5 stars, this would definitely be a 5/5.

[@gennarodechiara7025]

molto bello ma non capisco perche non li fate girare a idrogeno con la fiamma e mettere un motorino che genera corrente per farlo andare o pure con una pompa per l acqua

[@TheShadowfexx]

very impressed nicely planned and made cant get much better than this in my opinion

[@webmasterasg]

Hi! Amazing design! I'm interested in doing one but i cannnot understand how does the water pump work. What makes the water to not fall down? Does it have some kind of valve? I can't find another pump like yours.

[@webmasterasg]

Austin Mattingly It seems simple! Tanks a lot!

[@motoresesistemasautomatos.]

Very nice. Congratulations

[@shannongibson325]

I made it myself thanks to INPLIX website

[@MrLeopain]

Great job. Do you have plans for this?

[@jassabrar467]

Very Nice engine

[@6969smurfy]

Willy Wonka’s lawyers called. ceased and assist

[@Jeffrey314159]

COOL!

[@slurryoffagrape]

Damn and blast.... I thought I was (one day soonish.... very 'ish') going to be the first to make a Stirling powered marble machine!!!! ... You beat me to it... lol {:o)..... Quite BRILLIANT..... I LOVE it.... Well done..... Very unusual... I love the way it's doing a lot at once.... I salute you, Sir. {:o)

[@edgeofforever7720]

All of a sudden I see two burners come out being held by two hands....My question is what the heck are you holding the camera with?

[@sleepydog9968]

tripod? table? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@josephfoster3819]

His Weiner

[@glasstronic]

That is too cool! Hooo, boy howdy, you put a lot of work into that gal. I love it! Most excellent design, build and workmanship there. :-D

[@BushidoBrownSama]

Nice Rube Goldberg Machine

[@AidanGieg]

Awesome! But what's the point of the marbles? You should use that energy to generate electricity to say, run a better pump and use the mechanical one just to start it...

[@AidanGieg]

Austin Mattingly that sounds awesome! you should do a load test on them. See how much power they put out...

[@hholover1]

very nice piece of work

[@jeremycrisp4488]

That's friggin awesome!

[@epilotdk]

Brilliant! I make both stirling engines and marble machines but I have yet to combine the two.

[@carmelpule6954]

Well, I find it easy to make a Stirling engine, but to make that crankshaft with four throws running so smoothly, well now that is to be congratulated. Also praise must be given to the manner in which the engine was laid out. Well done.

[@madhackademy3558]

Amazing work respect

[@StirlingMaringa]

VERY GOOD ! CONGRATULATIONS !

[@monaxp606]

Wah.....this is called creation.

[@carlos6ago]

Congratulations, specially because this engine really produce power, and uses the water it pumps to cool the air

[@carmelpule6954]

It uses the water to cool the cold side of the displacer cylinder.

[@mozon1967]

Wow, that's a fantastic gizmo! Love the fact that you made it do something ! Very cool Stirling!

[@fausto3118]

just great skills and a sparkling mind would do this! really nice! you're amazing , man! hope you could have time and materials (Mind materials and phisical ones also! ) to create other stuff ;)

[@mheermance]

Really fun Stirling engine.

[@АлексейВолошин-к4о]

Лучший Стирлинг из всех, что я видел.

[@arcturusbbqsausagemaking2435]

WOW Your like Edison or Einstein you sould Be a professor at MiT ... Great job

[@adelmoanselmo3167]

Congratulations,Very good

[@nicolachinellato1543]

can i buy it? for a science exhibition

[@Khwartz]

Very Clever and Pretty ! :D and at least You Demonstrate some mechanical work! :P 👍

[@gatunoshow]

Hola! Tienes algún plano? Muy eficiente como ocupas la energía. Las bolas de acero genial!!!

[@vitthalnikam4917]

Very nice and wonderful.

[@haroldwestrich3312]

That is the most awesomely awesome piece of home made awesomeness I have ever seen ! ! ! ! great work - and "Use of work"

[@osimardesouza5905]

Shut up and take my money 💰

[@arandomhobbychannel6718]

That thing is a masterpiece.

[@renmarplayz381]

WOW!!! its so amazing i realy love your ideas and your work....keep it up....

[@skybryanmaverick4402]

can you please make a how to video on your walking beam Stirling engines

[@asky2001]

Please explain how to make a

[@dickinohio]

very clever indeed, where did u get the little alcohol burners ?

[@MrLeopain]

how do you make the water pump

[@anascottwelding1761]

Well done, what a beautiful example of engineering and art. You inspire me to try harder.
