How to make a stirling engine
I tried to make a Stirling engine as simple as possible, but it was still difficult. Stirling engines are not easy to make.
List of materials:
- candy drops tin (00:03)
- piece of thin aluminum sheet (00:16, 10:12, 14:22)
- thin aluminum bar (01:58)
- cyanoacrylate glue (02:07, 06:20, 13:00)
- steel wool (02:25)
- silicone rubber (03:39, 20:58)
- 32mm tube (05:16, 06:16)
- two strips of galvanized steel (or copper, or brass) (07:10)
- solder tin (07:24)
- thin malleable steel bar (or wire) (08:08)
- pencil (12:06)
- small balloon (13:34)
- bolt, two nuts and two washers (14:15)
- electrical connector (17:00)
- two large lids (19:17)
- masking tape (19:38)
- lubricating oil (21:32)
Tools:
drill, drill bits, scissors, pliers, screwdriver, soldering iron, sandpaper, hand saw, pocket knife, pin, marking pen.

This is probably the most likely successful stirling engine build you could attempt from KZread videos. No words spoken or numbers to deal with, just good, plain physical instructions.

Imagine trying to make an internal combustion engine in your kitchen. Zero chance of that. Its incredible how imprecise a Stirling engine can be and it will still operate.

So do not attribute to Allah equals while you know [that there is nothing similar to Him]. ( 2:22 ) 🔵 And if you are in doubt about what We have sent down upon Our Servant [Muhammad], then produce a surah the like thereof and call upon your witnesses other than Allah, if you should be truthful.

Whenever they are provided with a provision of fruit therefrom, they will say, "This is what we were provided with before." And it is given to them in likeness. And they will have therein purified spouses, and they will abide therein eternally. ( 2:25 ) ⚠️ Quran

@@call_me_mado5987 agreed, but the same applies to sterling engines. I saw a 10 cylinder unit with electronic timing control. I have also seen a one cylinder gas engine with mechanical valve and spark timing. It was about as simple as the engine in this video. Very interesting engine, it didn't spark on every revolution so the rpms would fluctuate. If I recall, it was for a compressor.
The "graphite lubricated sleeve" is a stroke of genius! Thanks!
Bravo… excellent, well presented and for myself I feel it was done in a manner any language could understand… thank you indeed, much appreciated!!!

You tube just recommended your channel to me. I really like your creativity!👨🏻🌾😋
Good vid. It hopefully accomplishes two things. First, inspire others to get started tinkering with Stirling engines. Second, to dispel the myth of current state of the art DIY Stirlings accomplishing any useful work for any practical power input level. A whole new paradigm is needed to make them practical as prime movers. Even when the input energy is "free" (solar heat, ground or evaporative cooling, etc) the cost of implementation and the replacement of moving parts make a small diesel engine look pretty good. That has got to change, and only the DIY hobby community can afford to "waste" the time and resources for the R&D required. A hobbyist has got to start somewhere. Part of finding out what works is finding all the things that do not work. Being able to construct a running heat engine in a half hour out of mostly just trash is a good foot in the door. Your design is simple enough for a reasonably smart 12 year old to follow, and it will teach him a little bit about the Stirling cycle.

Nice work.thanks
That was awesome.. I Enjoyed just listening to it run.. haha Good Job
genius design!!
Impressive nice job 👍🏼
i think the can you chose was too small in height, the air not expanding enough to cool down on its own. That rubber balloon as an air mixer is brilliant.. can't wait to attempt and make one myself.

@@TheCompleteGuitarist Also applies to all videos i watched about Stirling engine... The piston only move up/down depending on the crank shaft. most they make it not long enough to allow a cooling phase. Hot/Cold differential can increase efficiency of the engine. I wish i had space in my apartment to craft something to show all what i mean.

22:51 some things I see that could be improved, first your flywheel is well off balance, and second I think there is some lateral play in the main crank, maybe add some spacers where the screw is?

I've taught physics at summer camps. Students are motivated when they make a device that works better than the example that the teacher made. This design is excellent for teaching _because_ there are so many opportunities to improve it.

This 25 min was worth in my life
Great video!! Would it work better if you cut some holes in the displacer disc to let more air flow through the steel wool?
Incredible
The simplest video I've seen so far 👍 Will be perfect fit for working on my project that I described in the video Solar to electricity 24/7 in Your back garden Videos like this make other projects so much better 🙂
made his but added a counter weight and a 10lb flywheel and after a few minutes of spinning to get in started it finally worked!.....and by worked i mean it ended up working too well with the heavy fly and the comparatively super lightweight parts that it literally tore itself apart after 30 secs of running. AMAZING! i love this will recreate!

Steel wool
The steel wool adds quite some weight to the piston. Couldn't you glue it to the top of the cylinder instead, for the same effect?
@nigelwilliams7920

The steel wool acts as a recuperator as the air passes from the lower to the upper cylinder and back. So the air has to pass through it, that's why its on the piston.

Já tentou fazer um fogareiro a gasolina para esse motor?

You've put the steel wool on the wrong side, it must be on the side you heat, not on the one you cool down.
