In my previous videos about the Thermo-acoustic heat engine I used a piece of steel wool, while in order to improve the performance of the engine i injected water into the engine. usually after 10s of times of operation eventually the steel wool get rusted and destroyed because of interaction with hot steam. I wanted to remove it or replace it with another material. After some work, and a hint from one of my commentators, i changed the design so that the heat engine works without steel wool. With this current design the engine is not going to go bad from internal material. the walls of the tin cans will rust at relatively low speed. The glass beads will last long.
Only the piston has to be improved which i am working on it.
With this video i show you how to make a new design of the Rice engine (even though i have not used rice inside the engine, but it is fair that the name stays rice engine)

I love it, I made one thanks to you. It's so cool, I'm going to print and wind a linear generator and see if I can make power.
This is a great idea I would like to see : How does the "stack" material change the performance ? For instance metal pellets are more conductive and could be cooled more efficiently. You could also use thin copper wires or copper tubes (cooling tubes) to condensate the water vapor inside and create a bigger temp. difference. To use the copper wired simply drill holes from the outside into the middle can, stick copper wires rigth through and solder the ends to the can. By having the 3 cans seperate one could swap each stage to try out on stage 1 a more efficient heating method, with insulation and better airflow. Stage 2 different "stack" materials and configurations such as copper wires and tubes differently sized glass or metal pellets and less conductive materials such as a ceramic cup to prevent heat traveling from stage 1 to stage 2. On stage 3 one could use a speaker as a generator and other linear generators. I think this has a huge potential. What do you guys think ?
I like the evolving simplicity.
Hi, nice work! Put a beer can in the upper section, and the gap between the outside can and the beer can will act as a condensation place similas as rice!

Thanks for the suggestion. Will give it a try and if it works properly, will make a video of it 🙃

I'm working on this method now, I'm currently printing a linear generator for the top of my cans now. I'm thinking, insulated tube walls in the boiling chamber, and either a cooling loop for the glass beads or heat pipe with heat sinks as the condensation surface.

@@chaorrottai Good, if your attempt results in an improvement, please let us know here, I will then try it.
Great work!!! I'm really impressed!
Hello, thank you for sharing and for these great videos, is water mandatory? here it's a steam gas game and it strays a bit from the basic Stirling? can we do without it? thanks ! 😉
Good
Have you tried starting it with alchol? This should solve the rusting issue but brings a highly flamable gas into the equation, the induction stove may negate this.
How to simulation in comsol?
I'd like to show you my acoustic engine but I think I should patent it first. I'm a bit afraid of the high voltage and amps.. not sure how to tame the beast. It produces 63K volts at the spark gap....and perhaps too many amps. I'm sort of too afraid to build it. Mathematically it produces about 2 billion volts but the spark gap limits it to 63k volts...AC current. I don't even use a coil.... the electromagnetic field is powerful and water cooled. It also makes water and does electrolysis into hydrogen and explodes it for sound feedback. I use a lot of clever science to get vibration... and lot of clever materials to get thermal conductivity.. and use feedback. I'm using an alternating magnetic field with opposing eddie currents... I think it will levitate....it has no wires...just the 2 you need to connect the positive and negative. There are 2 secrets to the device ... I will tell you only one.... that gold is magnetic when it gets hot... while iron is not when hot. It has 2 voltage producing systems.. one is piezoelectric for the electrolysis and the other is from static from splitting water droplets and that one is to explode the hydrogen. People are going to flip when they see how easy it is....It will make clean air, hot water, electricity and gravity... only 13 non moving parts... and you don't have to use your stove.. you just have to sing to it and once it gets hot it will never stop because the exploding hydrogen and the feedback keeps it going. As soon as you sing to it.. you have a 454 lb xylophone key that will bounce on the disks... a lot of force which will make a lot of heat which will make a lot of sound and then the feedback.... I call it an acoustic engine because you don't need a heat source.... and that xylophone key will get so hot you would have to cool it with mineral oil because water would just steam off of it.
it is possible to do this autostart/work without water?

For my try and error, it happened only when the engine was filled with water vapor
in the lower section(the first can) is there only glass beads or steel wool and glass beads combined? please reply asap.....i am doing this project for my submission(you can think of it as a science fair or something) soo yeah..if you could give a small clarity..it would be a great help

Have you seen the video ? I mentioned all. The first can is empty, the second can has glass beads, the third can is also empty.

@@HVE okay yeah I checked the video again......and one more thing ....if I use rice in this type of model I'll just fill it all with rice right no need of steel wool and all I'm really sorry for so many questions😅
