This is a small 24v DC geared motor I attached to one of our Small Stirling Engines using plumbing fixtures for a mount. This is a NO LOAD TEST. The maximum voltage was 22v DC and the estimate was 300 mA. So this can produce about 6.5 watts with this simple setup. I am working on a more efficient process. Due to the weather, NO LOADS were tested today but I have tested some LEDs and small DC motors with good results. I will expand this test when we get better sunny days. Summers in the Sunshine State are 150 days of clouds:-)

yeah but considered by the square meters used for the lens solar cells are way more effective

voltage doesn’t matter power is what matters , he said 6.5 watts thats okay

The gear makes the difference. It is low amps but still neat. Saves from all the belts and pulleys.

If we had a contest where we could use, say, a spacer of 2×2x2 metres in the open field, how would be use it to gather energy from nature? Sun is hardly ever, so we could place wind mills right above the solar units Wind mills have a small surface anyway. Mirrors everywhere possible to get more light into our 2×2x2 metre box and solar panels.
Surface space is our limiter. We need stuff to put on roofs, which don’t make noise and don’t take much maintenance.

That is quite neat… I never would have expected 22v from that… I have a 12vdc generator motor I spun at around 1600rpms attached to a cordless drill and I was getting about 9vdc.

You are using a high temperature Stirling engine. A low temperature difference Stirling engine, say 5 degrees, may work in over cast conditions. (There are videos of small hand held ones on You Tubs.)
The Fresnel lens would have to be replaced by a hot box of the same size. I suspect you would have to build everything your self.

Seems like that Florida weather is a problem in just about every one of your experiments.
That may mean it’s time for WINDPOWER experiments, rather than solar! Just an idea.
But whatever you decide, please put denise in more of these videos, she’s just too cute to stay off screen.

Watch his vids on sterling motors and fresnel lenses and you’ll understand what he’s doing.
That being said, I wonder if he has playlists set up on his page to link all related information together.

Correct; power is …
Correct; power is 0W with open-circuit (I=0) and 0W with short-circuit (E=0) conditions. You can estimate power, however, by plotting an I-V curve for the generator set under various load conditions; power ought to be maximum when V=1/2 Vmax (for the exact same reasons why power transfer is maximized when circuit impedances are matched).
