How to make an ALL FREE STIRLING ENGINE?

 Yes, you read it well!

All free!

It means Free power piston, 

Free displacer piston, 

and moving cylinder.

If I remembere right it was a new invention around 2000 from Japan.

They called it "JUMPER" and this name is right!

I've made several different versions from this little 

BETA Stirling engine.

I made it with legs:

Also I made a weird car with this beta Stirling engine:

But today I want to show you a spring tensioned version.

I found the small spiral ball springs on a Christmas LED light.

Later I found a small diameter test tube...

It was filled with Vanilla Pod.

So I started to make a new engine with it.

The base was an 1 ml glass syringe

I cutted a 10 cm long piece from the Vanilla tube.

I cutted the syringe around the half of the length.

I take a piece of steel wool for a twisted

3cm long regenerative displacer.

Also I cutted a piece of fine mesh to the end of the cutted syringe

to save the syringe piston's

free movement from the steel wool particles.

Put all the piece together.

I used glue for the spring ends.

It was fixed between the Syringe top and the piston head.

The piston moves freely inside the spring.

Another glued part is the main Vanilla tube and the syringe body.

So easy to assembling this free piston engine.

I've made a short film about how to make it:

I hope you enjoy it!

Magnetic propulsion drive LTD Stirling

Hi folks!

I made a little LTD Stirling engine with my open source magnetic drive system.

The mechanism works perfectly!

The engine could run fast as a JAXA Stirling,

but actually I created  some mistakes in the construction yet.

The cylinder and the glass piston was sticky somehow!

And the piston movement was limited too.

Anyway...

but the engine started with these bad parameters too!

This gives enormous power to continue my work on my way!

I won give up!

Here is a little video below.

Support my efforts with a simple video sharing, or link sharing on your community site please!

Magnetic Propulsion Drived Stirling Engine (Video)

Hi folks!

Do you remember my very old Stirling engine driving method?

YEP!

Last weekend I found an old but short video from my first prototype 

magnetic propulsion drived HTD Stirling engine.

That was a big suprise, 

I didn't remember any video from this engine!

:)

But here it is!

It was a bad construction, but it worked 4 full stroke and two other. :)

The engine wasn't cooled, so it wasn't a big suprise.

Share this video, and the driving method too

because it is an open source project!

Non patented driving mechanism!

And I believe the Butterfly effect 
also 
the 100th monkey theorys!

See You Soon!

Manson engine's modified as "Metronome"

Hi guys!

I start to make a new engine from my old Manson fan engine on the last weekend.

It was really rusty and it looks like something scrap there.

But the engine base was pretty good condition!

I was lucky!

:)

I took off the fan, also the crank and rod.

Cutted off the tube where was the valve originally.

After I connected to the pipe a 62 cm long

ID: 7 mm tube.

It was the load for the "Metronome" effect.

Do you remember for my earlier post?

Ok!

There is the working method.

Anyway...the engine works well.

The torque is pretty good 

and if I can change the tube with a spiral silicone tube 

then it will be much more compact. 

I need to make a cold side ventillation version

because then the engine could cooling down himself.
And later I can pressurise it!

Rhombic drive VS. My 105° "L" yoke drive system

Hello guys!

It has long been thinking about a solution what modelling the rhombic-drive movement, 

without any complicated manufacturing.

I was sure it's possible!

First I changed the Ross yoke mechanism.

"T" to "L"

:)

Such an interesting alphabetical magic!

After I calculated the shafts positions, and the angles.

Next step was I made a rhombic drive in Solid Works 3D

and saved 90 frames/sec pictures.

I created my mechanism in same frame rated.

Here is the solution how I can see the similar thing also the different things

about this two methods.

If you interested my work click on my youtube channel.

Here is the latest movie, where I can show you this two drive mechanism in a video.

I changed the angle of my "L" shaped yoke last time 90 to 105 degrees,
because the phase angles was better.

What do you think about it?

Thermoacoustic traveling wave engine

I know you are really need to see my new designed Manson or KCE engines, but my life is so complicate actually, so I'm sorry about delay it will coming later a little bit.

But, my friend simi112 (YT nickname) started a series of thermoacoustic engines.

I followed his work and after we discussed the engines, working methods.

Anyway...here is my first designed traveling wave engine nearly Fellow's TAC generator.

Not perfect yet, but it was the second test run.

The design is so simple!

I made some pictures of assembly

As you can see I used first an aluminium tube for the hot side, 

but the first test run finished with a big hole on this tube...:(

After I changed it for a stainless steel hotdog maker's tube.

I'll show you How it's works?! on my next video!

See you soon!

Happy New Year!

New drive control units for my beta type Manson engine

Hello guys!

Two weeks yet and I'll start to build my double cylinder, closed air cycle, beta type Manson engine 

in Transylvania.

Woohoo! :)

I'm so excited!

I had thought about the driving system of this engine this entire weekend, and the conclusion was that it would be made with excentric drive.

But I also developed a new "teeter" drive mechanism for an another beta type Manson engine.

I made for you an animated GIF about this drive control unit:

Also here is my other vision the X-drive mechanism especially for my Manson engines:

And another one...

:)

This is a 3D animation what I made with SolidWorks professional.

I'm a beginner and this is my first animated assembly, 

but you can check how does it work.

I used a simple drive unit, it is pretty nice.
