Happy New Year and thanks for all the interesting videos!

Beautiful engine. Quiet, smooth and precision made. That's a real beauty.

Nice! Very smooth and quiet, that would not have been cheap to acquire, but a great acquisition. Cheers from Oz.

This high quality machine barely nozzles

Very smooth. Nice engine.

Tiene buena configuración y se nota que agregándole más fuego puede dar mejor rendimiento.

Beautiful engine

It sure is! Thanks for watching. Ron

Unbelievable how smooth and silent this engine is! 😃👍 Do you think it could benefit from a heavier flywheel at very low rpm? Will you challenge yourself one day and machine or 3D print an oil vase that you can add to one of your classical models for classic lubrication? 😉

Lovely.

A nice engine indeed, very well crafted ; Don't you think it could benefit from a small firebox and stack , as with early Ernst Plank and other stirlings ?

I have a small ceramic burner ordered that runs on butane... and the flame is adjustable.

So quiet and smooth, what was the shipping cost?

@RonaldWalters2010

Freight to the USA was about half the cost of the engine. Must be a cheaper way!

You can count the rpm no need for a tachometer ! 😁Nice engine

👍

Can it be used as a generator by connecting a motor in reverse?

Possibly a small DC motor could be run by this once it got up to speed... but the energy used to run it would be more than that generated by the motor... unless using the sun.

Bela máquina, ganhou um super Like e mais um inscrito , Feliz Ano Novo, abraços..Sérgio

Where can I buy this model?

Australia. Google it. All the information is clearly given in the video.

Can you measure the temperature requirement on it?

Not really. It has an open flame under it. Trying to use an infrared temperature gun will keep picking up signatures from the flame. A slightly larger flame than was used in this video would get it up to speed faster. I have purchased a ceramic burner that runs on butane... but I haven't tried it yet. With an adjustable flame controlling the start-up and then the running speed should be possible. I have also made some cooling fins which slide onto the brass tube which hopefully will help extend the run time. The videos on making the cooling fins will be released later this year… in the Fall. Thanks for watching. Please subscribe. That is what keeps this channel running. Ron

@@RonaldWalters2010 sir I have an actual project I’m preparing for and need your input. I am trying to build a aluminum can heater that will soak in as much passive heat as possible from the sun. It will use fresnel lenses and everything. Basically a box that has a lot of heat inside. I know I will need to circulate that air out to something. This is where that engine comes in. Do you think it could potentially run off of just hot air?

Olds Engineering in Australia make the Huxtable Hot Air Engine (a Stirling engine) and at one time they offered a parabolic reflector that would run the Huxtable Engine off the sun. It would require a bright sunny day, of which there are many in Australia. I could not find that reflector today so maybe they quit offering it. I suspect heating the air, to then heat something else, may be wasted effort… best to heat the engine in the first place. Also, the sun tracks across the sky faster than you may think… and for more continuous operation a solar tracking mechanism may be required… and then things get pretty complicated and are beyond my area of expertise. Most Stirling engines have a finite run time, as they tend to slow down or stop when the engine overheats and the temperature difference no longer exists. Stirling engines in some form have been used to power space exploration satellites/probes and since space is very cold the maintenance of the necessary differential temperature is pretty easy. Thus… can solar energy run the Huxtable Engine? Yes. For how long, I do not know. Can you heat air hot enough to run the engine? Possibly. Experimentation would be required. I don’t know where you are located (live). I live in the USA. This is an expensive engine (but a good engine). Purchase, shipping and foreign exchange, total, cost me roughly US$765.00 and that is just the engine. A cheaper alternative if you are able to machine and make things yourself. Popular Science April 1961 “How To Build A Model Air-Cooled Hot Air Engine” Popular Science July 1965 “Amazing No-Fuel “Space” Engine You Can Build” Takes the April 1961 engine and powers it off a parabolic reflector using the Sun. With a little effort you can find these back-issue magazines on Google books for free. If what you want is a demonstration of a concept. this would work (but probably would not run for a long period of time as it will overheat and stop). Hope that helps. Ron

@@RonaldWalters2010 I purposely want to create a space where once heated the heat dissipation is super slow. (Might need to heat up a material of sorts) then I would use a valve to release the heat into the engine at a steady pace. I would use the temperature differential of indoor space to cool the engine or maybe even water cool it somehow. I want to use thermodynamics in its most simplistic form without getting crazy expensive. We desperately need working sterling engine type concepts for home use right now more than ever in this society because we are given 4 years of freedom to develop and “release” these engines to the public without backlash. No more controlling interest in oil companies today. This is the time that we can change the minds of people about passive energy.

Air is not very good for storing heat. If circulated around/through a bed of rocks, the rocks can later give off heat for after dark hours or on a cloudy day. The large solar collectors use molten salt to store massive amounts of heat... and now we're talking about that crazy expensive thing. Good luck with your project.
