Thermoacoustic Engine/ Old Boy

[@realsal0818]

Wooow. It's always so satisfying to see an old sterling. Thank you sir for sharing

[@heinwonneby907]

Thanks for the nice comment. If I have time, I will rebuild the engine in detail with all dimensions👍

​@@heinwonneby907Hello sir, can we use metal pipe instead of glass tube? Show it in a practical way.

[@heinwonneby907]

@technicalvireshpatidar2750 I tried. Aluminum and steel didn't work and brass and regular test tube melted. The best result was a borosilicate test tube. It's probably due to the heat distribution. When the machine runs for a few minutes, the tip of the test tube becomes ice cold. The part behind the flame in the direction of the crankshaft, however, becomes very hot.

[@captainKedger]

That's not thermo-acoustic. That's running on thermal inductance. Excellent variation of the Stirling engine. I think it deserves a new category name. So far I've seen Alpha, Beta and Gamma type Stirling engines but this configuration is completely new and unique as far as I know. It looks extremely efficient. I'd be interested in seeing some performance comparisons.

[@heinwonneby907]

Thanks for the compliment and comment. Unfortunately, I am not an inventor and not a millionaire. It was first described by Bryan Higgins in 1777. The Singing Flame. Or the Rijke tube 1859. That is the basis of this machine. A sound wave is generated on the steel wool and the acoustic wave is refracted on a pinhole and converted into kinetic energy. So thermoacoustics after all.

[@heinwonneby907]

It is also used as a chiller. From the steel wool to the flywheel, everything gets hot. It gets freezing cold at the top of the pipe. You can find information on the web. You can find the blueprint at www.w-haag.de

[@heinwonneby907]

Stirling engines always have 2 cylinders. 1 working cylinder and 1 displacement cylinder. kzbin.info/www/bejne/poSufWOqmbyFoNE The marbles are the displacer. The working cylinder is the piece with the cooling fins

[@johns7483]

@@heinwonneby907 I agree, it's thermoacoustic indeed.

[@captainKedger]

@@Afra_Lenz I'm not denying that it's producing a thermoaccoustic wave which helps push the piston however without the differential between the hot and cold sides of the engine it will not work. Maybe it should be called a thermo-accoustic stirling engine. I admit I'm merely arguing semantics. Either way it's frikking cool.

What is the name of that tube used to burn

[@heinwonneby907]

The tube is made of borosilicate glass, it is extremely temperature resistant. From Schott Duran ca. 100×16 mm

[@anshidabdulla978]

How to make this

[@heinwonneby907]

This machine looks very simple. It's complicated to build, you'll need a mill and a lathe to make individual parts. You can find building instructions for simple machines without special tools on Google or KZbin. A tip: www.w-haag.de or Manual do Motor Sitrling on KZbin👍

[@tamilpasanga4679]

I have done a same type of thermo acoustic engine with borosilicate glass test tube and steel wool it's not working properly why is it happening? Can you suggest me the amount of steel wool used and time to get the piston work itself please..... 😭

[@heinwonneby907]

Hello Tamil, remote diagnosis is very difficult. The machines look simple. It's complicated to build. All moving parts must run without friction. The piston and cylinder must be very tight. In Germany, steel wool has the number 000. That is very fine. It is loosely rolled and 3cm long. Take a look at the page: www.w-haag.de. You can translate the page with Google. Make a film and post it on KZbin. Then you see the problem.👍

[@heinwonneby907]

Here are a few more measures. Brass cylinder. Hole 15X20mm. Aperture 5mm. Piston aluminum. 10x15mm. Stroke 20mm. Connecting rod 60mm flywheel approx 70x5mm. Glass tube 16x 160mm. Steel wool fine 30mm. The length of the glass tube is decisive for the speed. Long = slow. Short = fast. It never works the first time.

[@tamilpasanga4679]

Thank you hein I am on a school project that's why I asked you here in India I don't get steel wool that much fine enough I will follow the measurements you gave me... For the piston I don't have aluminium do you know how to make it or how to get it ....please help me bro my project just has a week of time to submit...

[@heinwonneby907]

oh, a week is very short. I hope you can do it. It's a shame India is so far away. Please film it with your smartphone. Then you know what the machine looks like and where it is stuck. Take a look at the site of Leandro Wagner from Brazil. he builds great machines with simple material. it may help. The material of the piston does not matter. the main thing is that it runs easily and is tight. Send me a link from your film.

[@tamilpasanga4679]

[@backyardsniper8064]

wonder how well that would work on a large scale.

Not so good as an engine. The smaller the more power. With heat exchangers you can also get bigger😉

I shoot a field target, we have a solar motor for moving targets. If that's too boring, a big Stirling engine will do. he has real power. Or a water-cooled flame eater.👍

[@chrismots6479]

Is the steel wool inside the cylinder required for the engine to run? Or can it run without steel wool?

[@heinwonneby907]

Yes, the steel wool generates the acoustic wave in the resonator (test tube). I took the fine steel wool from a hardware store and rolled it very loosely and cut it to 3 cm with scissors.

[@smithsmarine4885]

does the tube have to be glass

[@heinwonneby907]

that is a good question and not an easy one for me to answer. Usually not . The test tube made of borosilicate has proven itself in this type of model construction because it can withstand extreme heat and fluctuations in pressure. It gets extremely hot from the flame to the Piston and cold to the tip of the tube. My attempts with brass and copper pipe have failed. Its melted. the tubes were 1mm thick. that's why I stayed with glass.

[@fancylove4157]

​@@heinwonneby907do you have an email so I can ask you questions? I am planning to follow your steps and produce this for my final year project.

[@mannym5692]

Hm...how does it work?

[@heinwonneby907]

Here the sound makes the music (Rieke Röhre) A sound (oscillation) is created on the steel wool in the pipe. This oscillation is broken through a hole in the brass part and converted into energy, which drives the piston. In addition, there is a cold zone in front of the steel wool and a hot zone in front of the brass cylinder. Since the piston moves this air mass, there is always a little overpressure and underpressure, which also provides energy. So if you match the cylinder and tube volume exactly to one another, you will get a very powerful machine.😎

[@sasa-qq9em]

Hi , It's amazing, I made one that looks exactly like it but it didn't work at all, would you help me and tell me where is the secret , thans

[@heinwonneby907]

That's too bad. Cylinder 15mm diameter. 20mm long. 10mm stroke. Aperture 5mm diameter. Piston 15X 10mm. Those are the measurements. Compare your machine with the plans from www.w-haag.de. The piston must run very tightly in the cylinder. I hope it helps you.
