This is a neat little design. Neatly sidesteps the problem of making precise pistons and cylinders - well done! (I may copy the idea for my daughter's science project...)
, I bought a $5 kit to make a Stirling Engine. It had a small rubber balloon, a test tube, test tub stopper with pipe, and some tubing. All I needed to provide was a metal coat hanger and a heat source. The most important part was a good set of instructions! I think it was worth $5 as I learned the principles of how a Stirling Engine works. I have my own design that I want to try. One thing I found astonishing was how quickly the heat transferred to cause the expansion/contraction that drives it all.
Congratulations on a very well made and very well working model of a Stirling engne. What size syringes did you use. Is that tube of silicone rubber? Very remarkable indeed and congratulations again.
Mathieu Baesen The copper wire (I should have said copper wool) is not essential. It acts as a regenerator and improves efficiency. No connection, Just stuffed in the tube so that the air can move through it.
Actually I meant if you want electricity turn in to mechanical movement, you don't need to convert to heat first. It's a yes to your question, since Stirling engine can turn any thermal energy into mechanical energy.
iirc sterling engines, or something similar, were common in pre-electricity days and did serve a practical purpose. A little model has little torque. A big implementation delivers more torque. All you need is fire.
It's cool (and surprising) that the glass syringe barrels tolerate the heat, vibration, and friction without breaking. Cool project, even though it looks menacing as hell with the needles attached!
+diborth Unfortunately I don't have plans. But the only important things are: 1. Stroke should be equal to inside diameter of cylinder. 2. 90 degress phase offset between the flywheels. 3. Syringe made from borosilicate glass 4. Tubing between syringes should be made from sillicone
Your car produces much more power as well. It is also much more efficient at producing a variable rpm and torque which is useful when you encounter a stop light.
It's a sterling engine made from syringes. The needles could be removed as they serve no purpose except they clearly show where the engine parts were recycled from. If you put a candle under one of the glass syringes near the needle end, connect the two syringes together using a rubber oxygen tube, and spin the fly wheel, the engine will run until the flame is removed.
There is some considerable renewed interest in the Stirling engine because of it's high efficiency and it's potential as a much more efficient collector of solar energy than photovoltauc cells. Combined with the much lower price of mirrors vs solar panels, such technology could revolutionize the solar industry and even the global economy.
This is great 👍 Out of interest what area does the regeneration phase? Also if that's a plastic tube did it melt? Could this be scaled up? Great videos.
To be fair to your car, even if it may not be as fun, it does still fight/utilize high friction to generate a vector for a fairly large mass compared to just your bodyweight alone in order to allow you to transport yourself - something i think even a larger stirling engine would have much luck with doing without significantly more fuel consumption ;]
Are your syringes glass or plastic? Could plastic work if the temp variance did not exceed the melting/warping temps for plastic? Idea of Peltier temp differential in the ability to move gases.
Bro, Awesome! i am going to buy the syringes NOW! i hope they don´t think i am an addict or something! :) but obvoiusly you machined a lot of parts using a CNC, am i Wrong? (BTW LOVE the fuel container!)
Thanks! No CNC at all. Everything done with a manual lathe and manual milling machine. Here is how I made the conrods: ruclips.net/video/4kVnTZ3eaVw/видео.html
Latheman666 Thanks, I thought so. Steel wool would probably also work well. This is, I think, the first small Stirling I've seen with symmetrical power and displacer sections. The strokes look the same, too. Am I seeing that right, you have the same stroke and displacement on both sides? Of course with the usual Stirling cycle phase difference.
Nice demo, and a clean machine- At 1.58 m views, I'm sure you got a few people thinking, minus the 700 dislikes who thought it was for miniature inflatable dolls.
Brilliant engine. 👍 Out of interest have you ever tried making a similar engine out of metal tubing? Or would that not work due to heat conductivity and expansion reasons? Just wondering?
A little beauty ! I like the way you measure the rate of fuel consuption! Is all the noise due to friction? Are they gas-tight syringes (or fairly loose-fitting)? Does it require lubrication?
Neal Pearson Thanks! The noise comes mainly from the play in the holes of the conrods. The glass syringes are extremely gas tight. I had to file away a bit along the piston so that they leak a little bit (so that the pressure can escape when heating up) Lubrication is not needed, but a little bit of graphite dust reduces friction even more.
Drug scales, syringes ... Looks like an ex-drug addict has found a new hobby.
Now i can inject 2 Marijuanas in 1 time ♥
+1337fraggzb00N You smoke it, not inject
BurnyCreative Years of doing drugs obviously made you lose your sense for sarcasm.
Andy Austin 1 liek=1 pray
1337fraggzb00N it's a steam engine, you smoke weed into it and it works
BurnyCreative Actually a Sterling Engine doesn´t work with steam, it works with hot air.
As an industrial mechanic, i built one a few years ago.
it looks like a very dangerous tatoo machine xD
dude you made me pee myself a little
it looks like a small stirling engine
+Jeremiah Lowe Right.
did you lube it?
It si an engañe
ahahaha! what fucking scam!

For drug addicted stirling engine lovers
Very nice! I love the parallel cylinders. Also the burner is very interesting, I am a chemist and I have never seen something like that!
Im interested in exchanging a porsche 911 for a handmade Stirling machine.
Where shall i send the Stirling machine to?

Always good videos that lead to me doing my best to explain a Sterling engine to my 9 yr old daughter......again.....
You could fill one with holy water
and the other one with garlic essence
and sell this device to Mr. Van Helsing!
I can see Alucard trembling in fear already
Van Helsing was a vampire HUNTER not a vampire
Yes. He could use this TO HUNT vampires.
If he was a vampire, why should he buy this device...?
SH1974 Suicide?
No. This device (filled with holy water and garlic) would not kill him
because he was a vampire HUNTER, not a vampire.
It does 4 thousand injections a minute...
I believe that is a double barreled plazma rifle in the 40 watt range!

Actually it looks like a two part epoxy applicator before I saw that it was an steam engine.
+luangu thats what I thought - with the flywheels as cunning devices to control mixing ratios!
Great minds think alike, :P
+luangu No steam involved, just air.
+luangu Hah! same here. I immediately thought a vacuum driven 2 part epoxy applicator. I actually could put such a device to use :P
A clever way to determine the amount of fuel by putting it on a scale. Nice work with the engine, very cool design!
Congratulations on a very well made and very well working model of a Stirling engne. What size syringes did you use. Is that tube of silicone rubber? Very remarkable indeed and congratulations again.
Vivian Astridge Thanks! I use 3 ml syringes made out of borosilicate glass. Yes tube is of silicone rubber with fine copper wire as regenerator in it.
Latheman666 why is the copper wire needed? And how/where do you connect it? (I have to make a stirling for schoolproject) any other tips?
Mathieu Baesen The copper wire (I should have said copper wool) is not essential. It acts as a regenerator and improves efficiency. No connection, Just stuffed in the tube so that the air can move through it.
Latheman666 Thanks for your quick response, I will try it in my engine. Another question, how do you fix the silicon tubo to the glass, glue?
Mathieu Baesen The silicone tube is held only by friction.
Thanks for getting me interested, crazy simple and elegant design you've got there, gonna be attempting this on my own soon for shits n giggles
+krazykarl9 Thanks, glad I inspired you.
HERE AND NOW!!!!: the coolest model engine for heroin junkies!!!!
your a genuine genius. I can think of thousands of applications for that your a true inspiration
one injects speed while the other injects horse tranquilizer
Love it.....well done, I'd build one but finding the glass syringes nowadays is really tough in north America.
this is what count olaf used to kill uncle monty
hahahah XD yes
If your creation gives you pleasure and good time it is by no means useless.
Your handcrafted machine is smart and fun to watch.
+angelo pap Thanks!
could you wrap an induction heatet loop round it instead of using a flame so it would effectively be powered by electric?
+ijustwanttoseetitty Any heat source would work.
+ijustwanttoseetitty That is a good idea hahaha, just be careful not to melt it. I've seen some pretty impressive inductance heating.
+ijustwanttoseetitty Then an electric motor will be a lot more efficient. ;-)
+peterlution i'm not really worried about efficiency as I'm not poor, I was just thinking it would be fascinating to look at and tinker with.

+Chris De Naeyer Thanks!
A fine piece of workmanship for sure.
Richard Giguere Thanks.
Its a twin cylinder thermo acoustic engine
It's cool (and surprising) that the glass syringe barrels tolerate the heat, vibration, and friction without breaking. Cool project, even though it looks menacing as hell with the needles attached!
can u tell me haw to make one ?
+diborth Unfortunately I don't have plans. But the only important things are:
1. Stroke should be equal to inside diameter of cylinder.
2. 90 degress phase offset between the flywheels.
3. Syringe made from borosilicate glass

+Latheman666 Hello Latheman666. Can the glass syringes hold helium for this? Thank you.
+Glen Chung Probably, what for though?
Air is plenty fine.
imchasinyou Or you know, maaaybe he wants to make one himself.
Y'know, some people don't have hands growing out of their ass.
imchasinyou read: you
Not all people just want to buy things. Some like making them and being able to say that you made it.
Your comments in the last scene actually made me subscribe... dang... you got me hahaha
hilary clintons diazepam quick dispenser ?
Would love to get the build plans for this!
why did it have needles on the tips in the intro?
BadIdeas101 To make it look dangerous and interesting. 8-)
Your car produces much more power as well. It is also much more efficient at producing a variable rpm and torque which is useful when you encounter a stop light.
It's a stirling engine
+Ettore Durgoni Correct
very well made video and engine. you are an artisan.
+Julia n Thanks!
+Julia n Maybe it's a Steam Powered Sterling Engine for rapid injection?
BioShock?
Wow! I gotta make me one of those. If for no other reason than to piss off my neighbors with the infernal racket coming from my pad.
Gives a whole new meaning to "Kafka Pocket Edition."
as a former Heroin Addict i must say : this is next level Bro !
Oh that's easy once you take the needles off!! Especially when you add the cross over hose!
I'd've guessed some sort of dispenser for two-part epoxy, but yeah, a stirling engine is pretty groovy, too!!!
just a gorgeous displacer design
Love Stirling engines, worth a sub!
Thank u Very good
it is the most easy stirling that illustrate the mechanism of action
I like it

next time, when you hear the sound of this machine ,you will know, that some guy is having a good afternoon
L'ho immaginato fin dall'inizio del video. Simpatico !
I thought it was until the beginning of the video. Sympathetic !
cool the way they organize themselves into hot and cold cylinders...
LOL dat kilimanjaro monty python reference. +10 points
I am enjoying a new saga vehicles commercial...LOL !
Wow I really was expecting something grim and suddenly "Yaaay it's an engine :D"
Looks like a real fancy jailhouse tattoo gun to me but hey,I may be wrong.
A Stirling Hot Air engine. Ingenious use of two syringes !
I was thinking injector for death row inmates, but it's pretty cool as a stirling engine too.
Would be a lot better with an explanation of how it works and the technology involved
+aR Bemo (aRBemo) Alpha type Stirling engine : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stirling_engine
I did read that, it was the point of the video not the engine
There is some considerable renewed interest in the Stirling engine because of it's high efficiency and it's potential as a much more efficient collector of solar energy than photovoltauc cells. Combined with the much lower price of mirrors vs solar panels, such technology could revolutionize the solar industry and even the global economy.
This is great 👍

You really need to mount some shock abs on there :D

+1 for the Monty python allusion
I had not seen that volan i could imagine that's a tattoo machine :D
Are your syringes glass or plastic? Could plastic work if the temp variance did not exceed the melting/warping temps for plastic? Idea of Peltier temp differential in the ability to move gases.
Borosilicate glass. In plastic syringes there is way too much friction.
this is what a prius runs on

My mom walks in, "mom it's not what it sounds like!!!"
the energy of motion that comes from the tubular container
Deadass someone made an engine metaphor
A sharp needle de-baunching tool. Or a phoo phoo valve for grinding smoke.
Your machine may be totally useless but it is very pretty in an industrial way.
now I fully understand the meaning of overdose !
I didn't know sterling engines could move that fast! About how hot was the air flowing over the piston?
This contraption is no match for my pocket quantum torpedo's.
small engine, but I think it was meant for medicen mixing probably, or this is how they test oil how well the oil flow.
That little sucker is working great!
Is that some regeneration material in the connecting tube? What did you use there?
Yes it is the regenerator. I used very thin copper wire.
Latheman666
Thanks, I thought so. Steel wool would probably also work well. This is, I think, the first small Stirling I've seen with symmetrical power and displacer sections. The strokes look the same, too. Am I seeing that right, you have the same stroke and displacement on both sides? Of course with the usual Stirling cycle phase difference.
at first glance, it looked like a really mean tattoo gun lol
It's a beauty. Thank you!
+Mitica Badila Thanks, glad you liked it.
What would you say if in this design to use ceramic bearings, and perfectly balance the crankshaft assembly with the rod and the piston !!!
Upon watching the entire post and being shown and told what this is all I can say is:"Woah." LOL
Nice demo, and a clean machine- At 1.58 m views, I'm sure you got a few people thinking, minus the 700 dislikes who thought it was for miniature inflatable dolls.
At first I thought it was the machine for lethal injection.
All i could recall is ........... Sasha Grey playing with a device similar to this one.And the device drove her crazy......like helll
By changing the overall design a little this would work as a low temperature combustion engine.
Sure wish I could make something like this these things are awesome
Internal combustion has way more torque. But this would make a good generator
Brilliant engine. 👍
Out of interest have you ever tried making a similar engine out of metal tubing? Or would that not work due to heat conductivity and expansion reasons?
Just wondering?
Thats Miniature Steam Engine !! nice one / like
First thought when i saw Stirling --- Oh , Scott Sterling :))
A little beauty !

I first thought this was some kind of tattoo machine.
would it still work if I turned the engine so it would stand vertically?
btw loving your videos! congratulations!
You should put a thermal conductive metal pipe instead of that plastic tube to act as a radiator.
"what is this?"me: "that's a NOPE"
It's a miniature Stirling Engine. Was invented to replace the steam engine. Robert Stirling was the inventor.
+mike black That's correct. Thanks!
