The agony of defeat Stirling Final
This is it for this design, really requires machining/skilled machinist and also a TON of heat. New design on the way. If you get one like this working please send me the video. I would be HONORED to FEATURE it.

while some people on this planet do time travel and interdimesional travel on a dailly bases
some play with wheels:)

Too much friction? Over engineered probably.
Too bad I was hoping for a easy solution to building a heavy duty stirling. Keep on trying dude were all hopefull you’ll crack it.
What was the power in/out ratio? How efficient was the overall system?
That was worth a try. I would like a dollar for each of my failures and another for each of the things I have thought up but not tried. But I have not been brave enough to share them during gestation. Keep going.
LOl a boat anchor
so you do time travel?
is just the beginning …
All you will.
not get upset ….
and continue!
The only thing wroung with it? As it is built now, is the size of the piston that moves the heated air. the heating and cooling piston need’s to be 8 times the volume of the one it drives. If he can build it that way I swear it will run!
@TheBattleWagon can the 8 time volume increase be produced by increasing the size of the hot piston? Alternatively by reducing the air around the cold piston?
Increasing the hot side will tend to produce more power.
He must finish it, it is imperative for the delorean to reach 88mph or he will never return to his time!
DAMN DAMN
another 20 minutes i’ll never get back!
@cr1tterp0wer
Well if he did! the thing’s I recomended! It would run!
Well, I’m not an engineer or even close, but it seems that it’s a waste of space to have 2 cylinders , one on top of the other ! Now wait a minute before responding & rethink what your trying to do, to build something new or combineing them right ? So to combine 2 engines, sometimes you have to throw some pieces away & make new. Keep thinking about it, I have faith that you’ll get it !! Take Care !!!
COOL
@TheBattleWagon But UR recommendations are impossible to implement in this experiment, if not impossible, impractical
Good words when there’s a tyrant knocking on UR door. There are functioning sterling designs. In the event Dan doesn’t see an obvious next thing to try to get this idea of his to work, he would be wise not to though more time into it. Not like he doesn’t have something else to work on.
Are you fucking Retarded? Guy? I could do it with a bit of stove pipe and a coffie can.
First you would push the Heated piston all the way to the botom of it’s stroke.Then Jb weld the coffie can on to it at the right hight. Next you would fit the stove pipe over the coffie can and turn the crank till it is all the way at the top then mark it, cap it, seal it and add the air line. Done. Don’t Ever smart off at an proffeshanal mechanic, esppeshaly one that is an engineer who draft’s many form’s of engine! I’ll bet you a Car I been building,
I could!
Looking at the burn mark, you are heating the wrong place of the engine.
Also, do you really think some sticky tape will keep a high temp hot cap sealed?? :S
These things run at several 100′s of celsius degrees!
R.
If you can turn this thing with one finger easily like you do in the vid …. It should be high compression and NO leakage at all!!
That’s so true and Dan probably doesn’t throw any of his experiments away. If nothing else he’ll most likely use some of the parts on his endeavours in a new experiment. Live and learn. Keep up the good work Dan!
@electrique527 not in the trash, just need a small break from the project. I am looking for a good machinist to make this happen.
@GREENPOWERSCIENCE :
And… there is a working design of a stirling like this, but doesnt have a displacer, but just a hot and a cold cylinder. It makes 500 Watts if I remember well. I can look up the drawings for you if you want?
Hi Dan, I am still looking for a suitable compressor myself, but havent find anything good. I find many with the wrong piston timings (180*)

I’m working with a friend on a Stirling like this, but double piston, and not piston-displacer. It didn’t work yet, but we have an year to keep developing it before we go to university =) If it works, I get in contact. Actually, our largest problem is the sealing. Small Rulon rings must be a solution. We actually have a 2.4 meter parabolic concentrator, but tested it only on the bench, burning propane.
