This is a larger Stirling engine that has a 12v DC Permanent Magnet motor operating fixed as the flywheel bearing. It produces 15 Volt max with NO LOAD. This setup as is produces about 15 watts. The heat sink is a water cooled tank that is a bit short for the displacement piston but does work. I will be adding some heat sinks soon and testing it with the 56 inch dish and a Fresnel Lens. The motor/generator has an additional pulley that the other engine I have may be tied to. The water can be fed continuously or as a tank.

Hey Dan, my name …
Hey Dan, my name is Kyle Glenn and I work at the PSL solar furnace. We are building a dish stirling engine and have a 6′ parabolic concentrator. We need to coat it and were going to use ReflecTech mirror film from NREL. The film on this concentrator seems to be more crisp, is it better than 94% reflective?

I invented a breakthrough renewable source of energy that violates the law of energy conservation. I have a proof that there are phenomena that violate the law of energy conservation. I am looking for $6M for a prototype and patents.

I always like watching you vid’s, good stuff mate, can I get your wife to talk to mine, so I can spend all my time doing stuff like this….. ooops, gotta go dig the garden… just curious, what do you use as a water pump, my next stirling build will be to circulate water for the pond, to reduce electric pump time, solar powered of course, yes I could use solar panels, batteries etc to paower a 12 volt pump, but these as just so much more fasinating…

No, $10 per gallon would a disaster for this country. We aren’t even close to being able to deal with a price spike like that.
Also it isn’t just about carbon emissions its about availability of the fuel period.
As for your job I don’t care. Their is no call for making comments like we need to find “a religion or something”.

@shirah601 Hi, I ran it with no water, did not get a chance to do another video because someone bougth the engine. In regards to the comment reply, I try to reply, we have 200 videos and get about 100 comments a day:-) Thank you for the comment.

Engine is well-made. However video does not show water flowing through cooling jacket. It looks like lower water valve is closed. It would make sense to use power from generator to pump cooling water. Also no good view of power piston.
It seems you never reply to comments?

Is this engine powerful enough to run a small car alternator? If so, alternator to inverter = free AC power.

Hi, where can i buy that kind of parabolic concentrators? Please, tell me.
thanks.

Cool that’s close to my sunlight concentrator. If I had money I’d begin to build my gravity generator though, because solar cells are not developed well enough (yet)

hey Dan your sure it produces 15 watts? that is CRAZY if its true man. Cause i have a mirror 4 times more area than your 35 inch one so that means it can give me 60 watts with this engine. I really want to make one like this engine

This is way more practical than burning stick and melting bits of broken glass, I’m looking forward to seeing the future videos with this engine. This video has just earned you one more subscriber!

As something of an electric vehicle buff, I’m fairly familiar with DC electric motors. You may want to check that you have the motor turning in the correct direction; it will generate current in either direction, but it will generate more current (and less resistive heat) when turning in one direction rather than the other due to the internal brushing attitude.
