Thanks, It's the Selkirk mountain range in British Columbia.

Thanks for the advice, I will definitely try to incorporate much of this into version 2. I hadn't considered the dead space aspect but it makes sense now that you mention it.

Lol, I was waiting for someone to comment on that😂

interesting, I will definitely look into this. It actually sounds A little similar to a previous attempt I had at a hot air engine.

@@Crusty-Creations possibly? the real trick is understanding the differential action of the two cylinders... the pump and the power piston are working at the same pressure. if theyre the same size, theres no gain... the pump piston has just as much force on it as the power piston. as an idea... say the pump is 1 squin, the power piston 2 squin. 15psi on both, you get 15 pounds acting against 30 pounds, leaving 15 pounds of useful force on the power piston. then theres friction and other minor issues, losses to overcome. precursor to the turbojet... exactly teh same principle. compressor takes so much power to pump air, and the turbine can extract so much power... some goes back to drive teh compressor, cancelling out... theres a certain amount of loss in the compressor and the turbine. whats left over is "useful work". only difference is a turbo jet does it continuously and has no need for valve gear. the "brayton cycle". the actual area ratio is more about the temperature rise you can achieve, 250C doubles the pressure. theres no compression, rather its an expansion. the only rise in pressure is due to the addition of heat, and ideally that rise in pressure is matched to the increase of volume... the pressure doesnt change. that bits hard to wrap your head around? the more usual approach is a single stepped piston in a double acting cylinder. the piston rod being large enough so the two sides of the piston have the appropriate ratio... ie, think of a hydraulic ram, and how its rod reduces the effective area on one side... that smaller space is obviously the "compressor", and as it pushes air out, the same air is acting on the opposite side, the "power" piston. as its heating up, it applies pressure on both pistons simultaneously. take away the heat, drive the crank, and you have a refrigerator instead as it absorbs heat. once you understand that, you also see that compound steam engines have the same fundamental... the high pressure cylinder as it exhausts is acted upon with as much pressure as the larger low pressure cylinder. the available work is simply the difference in the two areas. theres very little worthwhile information online... in this modern age, we have forgotten so much, and seem to be stuck in a rut about how engines really work...

I realize this is far from the design of a traditional Stirling engine. I simply call it a Stirling engine because that is what I have seen this type of engine referred to as. I am not to clear on what differentiates a Stirling engine from other hot air engines but if you could point me in the direction of something which explains this I could try to clarify this in part 2.

@@Crusty-Creations First go to the patent office and read the patent Reverend Stirling was awarded in 1816. He did not invent the hot air engine, he changed it, adding a regenerator which will easily double the output power. He was awarded his patent on this basis, and the "Stirling Cycle" was born. You can improve piston sealing dramatically in hobby type hot air engines by using a "cup" seal made of leather like an old school bicycle pump. Old combustion engines make crappy hot air engines, an air compressor block can be much better. If you can find a "York" air conditioning compressor used on cars for decades, you will have a good base for an engine and they can be had cheap. I'm an old man but would happy to help you any way I can. I have a couple, I could send you one, I wont be building any more probably.

Bless his heart at least hes wearing his safety sandals give him a break

@OldWrench59 Thanks, this is very insightfully. I have heard of regenerators but I had no idea that is what defined a hot air engine as a Stirling engine (also something I should probably consider adding to increase efficiency). I will definitely look into both the leather cup seal and the "York" ac compressor. That is very generous of you to offer to send one, I will let you know if I decide to use one and can't find one locally. Of course this also depends on your location, I am in BC Canada. I will let you know if I have any more questions. Thanks again!

@@Crusty-Creations The York compressor is a 2 cylinder with bores very close together. Small and compact and millions were made. A new one here in the US can be had for $100. They are aluminum with cast iron sleeves. An auto scrap yard should have some.

Thanks!

do you not understand the fact that a stirling engine isn't a combustion engine? it doesnt need to be tightly sealed lil bro

@@hrafnkell6132 You are completely wrong about a heat engine or a Stirling engine needing good sealing. In fact both types need better sealing than any combustion engine.

I am actually more concerned about loosing pressure around the piston. its hard to achieve a low friction seal. I will hopefully be addressing this in part 2.

@@Crusty-Creations Don't give up! You have the brains!

I know right🤣

Thanks, will do

I would assume you are fine to use the 12v harness as long as the wires are big enough(a 6v system might require higher amps and bigger wire). but as long as your fuses are the correct amp for your wire then nothing should catch on fire. as for the spark i am guessing its a points ignition system? I'm not really an expert on that subject but I'm sure there are some good videos out there. Good luck on the project, sorry for the delayed response.

Thanks for the sub and best of luck on your project. I actually just acquired something 1000cc so that should be interesting😏.

Lol nice imagery! Sounds like your speaking from experience😂

@@Crusty-Creations thankfully no....

I have more common sense that that XD

darn! They always drop an ad just when things are getting exiting

@@Crusty-Creations bastards!!!

already done👍.

Ya the rear sprocket off the bike might as well be a wheel lol. And despite the title breaks will be present.

its a 1981 Honda CB 750. I believe the 900 had some weird transfer case that had a high and low range but also converts to shaft drive. Best bet might be to ditch the transfer case and go with chain drive(I believe it still has a regular sprocket output). In short ya it would totally work!!

Thanks! More coming very soon!!

@@Crusty-Creationsyeah man your gonna be big soon it’s very good keep it up please and rember me when you get big my names hayson

I will remember, thanks man!

Thanks a lot. Glad to hear it!

Every little bit helps, thanks for checking me out!

that's awesome, respect!

Glad I could help. That was the last piece of the puzzle for me before I got things running.

@@Crusty-Creations My bike been sitting at dad's junkyard since it was wrecked in 1990 he gave it to me after parts started to disappear . had to remove valve cover n oil valves n rebuild starter now it is pulling air on every intake port might be a runner come spring. 8,000 original miles. Old man will be 99 yrs old n im 63. Carbs are a mess but not first time i saved a wreck

I love your enthusiasm but I wouldn't say I'm really an expert in motorcycle wiring. Just figuring it out as i go and sharing what i can. Feel free to ask questions though and i can try my best to answer.

this is a good more in depth video of cb 750 wiring ruclips.net/video/XVMATc96Wxk/видео.html

It looks like it's pretty easy to set up the spark advance backwards. That is assuming you took it apart. This video seems to cover it pretty well ruclips.net/video/NWmeU3OALfU/видео.html I hope that gets you running, otherwise it could be week spark but that is typically only a problem when you give it throttle and you had it running before so I doubt it. Otherwise if your carbs are good then things should fire up. It sounds like the spark advance is definitely the most likely culprit. best of luck, let me know how things go. or if you need to see how mine is put together.
