This is a new design I found, they work with a Fresnel Lens or a Parabolic Mirror. Strong and efficient for its size. About 15-40 watts.
We have been trying different videos and had a run of experiments not going right. Also Florida is very cloudy from June – July, this video took 4 hours to shoot waiting for the clouds.

dang! I was workin’ on this idea grumble grumble
oh well on to the next idea: compressed CO2 in a clear bottle under the Sun’s heat….shhhhhh!
really great design guys! 5*s! maybe hook it to an air compressor and run moters from the compressed air and create a storage capability…just a thought…thanks again!

@ bobo45465I was making a point about excess heat and how it contributes to wear. No I’ve not seen the “other vid” and FYI I wasn’t judging. Who feels like a dumb now?

OVERKILL!!! This type of engine is supposed to run from a small oil burner, surely using the fresnel is generating a massive amount of heat which is likely to boil off any lubricant and soften/ expand metals causing greater wear. Will a 6″ fresnel lens work?

I’d say the concentrated solar beam cooking the paint on the cylinder head.

Good Dan. I have been looking at a sterling engine which is water cooled to pump water from a well etc. Engine would be in sun with lens with cold end in water. What is the minmum temperature diference these run at to pull say 120 joules per min? (120cmwater 1metre per min)

Does this particular model use ball bearings? I’ve noticed that a number of PM Research’s engines use a Babbit-style bearing. Also, what sort of lubricant is used? Graphite? I’ve been wanted to pick up one of these, but for $300 I kinda want to know what I’m getting myself into.

these are toys, there is no need to research whether you can make power from heat from the sun, do some looking.

Although I agree…. but these inventions are quite dated… they need a reinvention or a rethink to keep up with our power demands. These Videos are more to inspire and inform then to show what can be done.

I have definitely become more interested in solar power after seeing your videos. Thanks! Maybe more videos on where to purchase equipment and supplies would be cool also.

Dan,
When can we see this with a load on it. I would love to see it run something useful like charging a laptop or a battery array

Dan,
I got to say I always love your videos. Thanks to you I have learned a lot over the past year. I always look forward to your videos. As for the haters out there, let them sit in the cold and pay for something that can be free.

This would be nice to power something, even small, they just lack connectors so it needs to be customized for a DC mini power production. We have been a bit time strapped.
They are sealed very well, not sure if this will hold, the other model similar to this is not as sealed.
Thank you for the great comment.
Dan

Serious question …
Serious question Dan…sorry to interupt the haters on here…Is the stirling engine completely sealed? crankcase and all? Just curious before I buy one, because if it is completely sealed, you can drill a hole, tap it out with an air nipple and pressurize the inside up to say 25 psi with Helium and it should triple your energy output. Please let me know. Great videos like usual from you Dan…keep up the great work and don’t let the haters get you down, lots of us here love what you do!
