KTA18 Thermo-acoustic Stirling Engine Posted by: 1967geezer
Video duration: 113 seconds There seems to be some dispute as to whether these should be included in with Stirling engines. I think they should be. |

Thermo-acoustic Stirling Engine Posted by: 1967geezer
Video duration: 85 seconds Not really sure if it warrants being called a Stirling Engine... but most people seem to lump these in with Stirling Engines. |

Marble Stirling engine Posted by: 1967geezer
Video duration: 168 seconds This is a marble-displacer Stirling engine. The rolling marbles act as the displacer, which are transferred from the hot end to the cold end by the tipping of the test tube. The tipping of the test tube is caused by the piston being connected directly and rigidly to the crank disk and flywheel. |

Twin cylinder thermo-acoustic Stirling Engine #1 Posted by: 1967geezer
Video duration: 19 seconds A precision-built twin cylinder twin piston thermo-acoustic Stirling engine. These engines are sometimes called Lag engines and sometimes called Lamina flow engines. |

Marble displacer Stirling Engine Posted by: 1967geezer
Video duration: 8 seconds 5 rolling marbles act as the displacer in this engine. The rigid connection between the piston and conrod is what tips the test tube, rolling the marbles and displacing the air from the hot end to the cold end |

Coke can Stirling Engine Posted by: 1967geezer
Video duration: 108 seconds A coca-cola can stirling engine, running on a cup of hot water. There is an elastic band around the middle of the can, which sits on is a perspex ring on the top of the mug. A noverl way to recycle aluminium cans! |

Solar powered Stirling Engine Posted by: 1967geezer
Video duration: 67 seconds Prototype solar powered beta type stirling engine 18mm piston, 18mm crank, running at around 1000 rpm |
