Paper LTD stirling engine

This model is made of paper, it can run on a bowl of hot water and ice up to 13 minutes. Top and bottom surfaces of heat exchanger are made of office paper reinforced with cardboard ribs, most of parts are soaked with superglue to achieve strength and water resistance.
Displacer is also made of office paper, and its drive is made in the form of oscillating frame, as it is not possible to make it as a conventional airtight vertical rod. Diaphragm is made of napkin covered with glue for rubber.

Incredible demonstration!

[@Nerales_]

Crazy what you can do with paper and ingenuity.

[@mheermance]

Nicely done! To be honest I'm surprised this works. Usually more roughly built Stirling engines need a significant temperature difference to overcome their inefficiencies.

[@rickharriss]

Incredible again!

[@Heroasaurus]

consistently mind blowing channel. How many types of engines are there?

[@umutdemir9991]

thats very interesting and good you're totaly talented #Aliaksei Zholner

[@MrSludov]

He is TOTALLY HANDSOME, also...

[@shutereye2634]

Bloody freakin' amazing.

[@bayramyazc3010]

Good job. A complete engineering work

[@YesNowGoAway]

This is pretty amazing! :D

[@DarcyWhyte]

Wow, this is quite the accomplishment.

[@raykent3211]

Bravo! I'm very surprised that this is possible to do in paper.

[@Mr.Shadowman]

this is amazing !!!

[@MrSam0bot]

Отличный двигатель! Сам хотел сделать чисто бумажный стирлинг, да все руки не доходят:)

[@nothingssmore]

Спасибо! А у меня руки-то доходили, но проблема другая была - не получалось ничего ) Только где-то с третьего подхода одолел )

[@EricLR_]

Esse cara tem o melhor hobbie que eu já vi!!!

[@stirling-engine]

Genial ! Very beautiful engine homemade I like It

[@gamevallegrande]

thats great you should design a v2

[@owlvyacheslav]

Двигатель Стирлинга из бумаги .... круто ... хоть и многоразово на столько на сколько многоразов стаканчик из бумаги.

[@nothingssmore]

+Riu Hamaiami , это да, скорее просто демонстрация того что стирлинг все-таки можно сделать из бумаги. Но в принципе я уже неделю как периодически его запускаю, потом просушиваю, и снова можно запускать. Пока работает :)

wow I wish I could make one like yours

[@EpicHotCheese]

Is this basically the very first steam engine?

[@nothingssmore]

+KZbin_Cheese , no, as far as I know steam engines appeared much earlier, and one of the reason for stirlings appearing was care about personnel servicing steam engines - they are quite dangerous because of high steam pressure and boilers' tendency to explosions. And stirling engines have much less pressure of working fluid

[@KoshyGeorge]

Do an Assembly + Explanation Video

[@diegoanaya2417]

When will you make a vid

[@YcleptCrazy]

Is there a specific kind of paper you use to build these things?

[@nothingssmore]

+YcleptCrazy , no, it is regular office paper and cardboard, but covered with superglue for strength and water resistance

[@how2what4]

Love it, do you have a video on how you made it?

[@nothingssmore]

+Brian Lockwood , no, I didn't film it, because I was not sure up to the last that the engine will run. But you can find a link to an assembly process with photos in the video description

[@how2what4]

+Aliaksei Zholner I've been wanting to make one of these for years thanks on the inspiration and the link

[@umayaduvansi1807]

Sir explain how its work

[@nothingssmore]

It is not quite easy to explain in comments, I'd suggest watching for example this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXi1npasraeSms0 or this animation animatedengines.com/ltdstirling.html

[@crookedtool]

As the air displacer in the base of the engine moves up and down, the large air volume quickly heats, then cools, causing the power "piston" / membrane to expand and contract, thus turning the wheel.

[@Andy-df5fj]

Did someone bet you that you couldn't make a working Stirling engine from paper?

[@nothingssmore]

it was me )

[@_trupples]

how much time does it take for you to do something like this?

[@_trupples]

without the for. stupid autocorrect

[@nothingssmore]

+Ioan Dragomir , the build process (without design and rework) took about a week, at evenings )

[@civicsr2cool]

😍😍

[@MalkathiusRecord]

Sell a DIY 3D printed kit for your mini engines. $$$

[@crookedtool]

You want to use a 3D printer to make a paper engine? That's just bizarre.

[@HassnainKiVinesV]

how its made

[@nothingssmore]

+Hasnan Raza , there are no "howto" video, but in description you can find a link to forum where I've posted some photos of build process

[@HassnainKiVinesV]

+Aliaksei Zholner but vedio is started and tutorial is howing

[@crookedtool]

​@@HassnainKiVinesV Tutorial not howing.

you could sell those for some 100 dolar on ebay ;)

[@ufoengines]

So Cool! Have you tried to run it using Dry Ice or Liquid Nitrogen? Next try a Ringbom design. Thanks for this post! Patent 672256

you are mad
