Animation - How stirling engine works.

This is a video animation which explains about the working of a stirling engine. The major components and its working is explained in this animation.
Please read the entire article and the video animation to learn about the amazingly designed engine.
The Stirling engine is a type of heat engine, its design and efficiency makes it unique. It was invented by Mr. Robert Stirling in 1816.
How Stirling engine works video from our own KZread channel is embedded below, it's a Stirling engine animation video clearly explaining its working.
Components of Stirling engine:
1. Rotating disc
2. Engine cylinder
3. Displacer piston
4. Power piston
5. Kerosene or Alcohol burner
6. Links (connecting rotating disc and pistons)
Basic working principle for Stirling engine:
This engine works with the basic principle of expansion and compression of gas when heated and cooled.
How Stirling engine works in detail:
1. Working of displacer piston.
As shown in the figure on the left side of the displacer piston, the air will be hot as kerosene burner is heating it and the right side of the displacer piston air is cold. The hotter region, as the air expands. It exerts a pressure on to the displacer piston resulting in it to move. When the displacer piston gets displaced, due to this the colder air at the left side gets pumped up to the right side through the clearance at top and bottom of the displacer piston (see the video animation). This cycle continuous and the displacer piston displaced the hot and the cold air continuously. The hot air moving to the rear (right) gets cooler and the cold air moving to the front (left) gets heated up. Thus the function of the displacer piston is to move the gas from both the ends (hot to cold and cold to hot)
2. Working of power piston.
The power piston moves and adjusts the internal gas volume as the displacer piston and gas moves. During this movement, it absorbs the power and gives it to the rotating disc. That's why it's called power piston.
3. How links and disc works.
The links and disc's works together with the displacer and power pistons. The displacer and power piston and independently connected to different links which are intern connected to the rotating disc.
4. Working of Kerosene or Alcohol burner.
Its function is to heat the air at the front end of the displacer piston.
You can also have a look at the below video to get a clarity on its working. Engineering and school students can make working model of Stirling engine as a part of their academic projects. It will be a great learning experience. If you want any help feel free to drop a comment to reach out to us.
More topics on Stirling engine like Stirling engine efficiency derivation, Stirling engine efficiency calculation will be published shortly.

    - I was a nuclear machinist mate. This explanation is completely wrong. The diagram, the explanation... EVERYTHING. - The displacer piston is not moved back and forth by the heating or cooling of the air in the cylinder. No. - Here is how it works 1. Start with displacer piston on the cold side. So most of the air is on the hot side, getting heated up. As the air in the cylinder expands it pushes against the outside of the container. That's where the POWER PISTON is. The POWER piston moves out. 2. As the POWER PISTON moves out, it pushes the 'displacer piston' (through the linkages) to the other side of the cylinder. (this is counter intuitive) 3. As the 'displacer piston' moves to the other side, it pushes most of the air to the cold side. 4. The air is cooled overall and contracts, pulling in against the outside of the container and.. THE POWER PISTON! 5. The power piston moves back in... and moves the 'displacer piston' to the other side of the cylinder, also moving the air around. 6. Process repeates. The important thing to understand is that the big displacer piston in the middle of the cylinder... even though instinctively you feel like that's what is being moved around by the heating and cooling of the air... isn't. You could heat one side and cool the other all you want, that displacer piston wouldn't move that much. No. The heating and the cooling pushes the LITTLE POWER PISTON back and forth. And (through the linkages) it is what is pushing the displacer piston back and forth.

    Não entendo assim ... O displacer não isola o ar do lado quente do ar do lado frio... É o mesmo ar, à mesma temperatura ... O aquecimento provoca o movimento do pistão... O pistão puxa o ar para fora da área mais aquecida... O ar resfria, diminui a pressão ... O volante mantem o pistão em movimento fazendo com que o ar vá para a área mais aquecida ... Isto se repete... Este tipo de stirling, sem separação térmica entre as partes quente e fria do cilindro tem um rendimento muito baixo porque impede o aumento da diferença de temperatura entre os dois lados... Para mim, o ar dentro do cilindro está sempre à mesma temperatura em todo ele... O displacer não isola, apenas força o ar a se concentrar na parte mais quente ou fria... Para uma animação como esta, o melhor é o stirling com dois pistões separados ... Ali fica bem claro o que acontece realmente ... Um cilindro só, dois pistões comandados por um volante não são sua melhor configuração ... Fica com rendimento baixo, partes desnecessárias e difícil de explicar o que acontece ...

Si no entiende puedo repeter tambem unos pedo bem calculado a pressao de stirling.

    #thingstoknow Because the temperature of the air would remain constant and there would be no expansion and contraction of the air. Having two chambers means the air has a chance to heat up and cool down as it moves back and forward between the displacer and the power pistion .

    UNCLEAR: The two grey link rods are supposed to be solidly connected at about 90 deg. at the pivot point. The way your animation works it is pivoting where the two grey links connect. If this were a true product the one grey link would go up and down but the displacement piston would never move at all.

    Floundering. Well chosen words beat a barrage of uncertainty. Why even start with a kerosene or alcohol burner? The words you want are 'heat source' - a burner of some sort is a good example. The animation? Awful. Clunky. Confusing. I went from 'I need some aspects clearing up' to 'I don't think this is factual'. Effective communication is about clarity. There was no clarity here.

    Not that well done....if there were a sufficient gap around the sides of the displacer piston to allow the 'cool' air to travel back to the front, then there would be too much gap around the piston, and the displacer piston would not move backwards when the air in front of it was heated. The heated air would simply leak around the sides of the piston towards the back of the cylinder.

    Not to be mean, but your explanation sucks. First off, you calling the displaced air as 'cold' air.. is very misleading. That suggests it is coming from the outside. Also, it looks like the Power Piston has a shaft? Does it? So.. why does it change color? Sometimes its orange and other times its white. Forget HOW the air gets heated. WHY alcohol, kerosene, gasoline, or cow chips? Just say "the air is heated" and continue. I still dont know HOW the Power Piston is attached to anything. You state at about 6:00 there are '5' links. NO.. there are 6. Two on each end of the blue [with one on a green] and 4 more on all the rest on the green. Dude.. Terrible.
