    if ur living in a cloudy rainy area, just dig a hole deep enough to get some lava! Then it’s a done deal.
    : )

    @gesnarfel
    depends on the weight of the fly wheel the heavier and larger the fly wheel the more torque it will have. the harder it will be to slow down.

    What is the power output of the Stirling engine? Is there somewhere to get a blueprint of this sterling so that it may be built by experimenters?

    Wow, I didn’t know you spoke Irish. LOL.

    Is maith liom Vodka.

  5. 5 Macisauron 04 Jan 2010 at 00:13

    You don’t want that, it’s a waste of Vodka.

    Oh right, well then we’re already ahead of the posse. hooray.

    What’s the one that runs off potatoes called?

  7. 7 Macisauron 04 Jan 2010 at 01:12

    @FreindlyRanger Yes. It’s called Hydroelectric.

  8. 8 FreindlyRangeron 04 Jan 2010 at 01:26

    Is there one of these that runs off rain, we don’t get any sun here in Ireland. LOL.

    now wouldn’t it be cool if the gov would have send out items like this to be manufactured for places that need it and stimulated the economy with “free” energy… some low users could have used a few of these,,,

    sorry was supposed to be a reply to andrew0901280

    Wouldnt be possible to do what?

  12. 12 jaydenkanecurtison 04 Jan 2010 at 03:43

    Can a sterling engine be powered by magnets?

  13. 13 hitcbon 04 Jan 2010 at 04:27

    you’d be running a energy deficit doing that… it wouldnt be possible according to the laws of thermodynamics

    Hi. Very interesting.

    I have some questions:

    1) Could you add a dinamo to this engine?
    2) Could you do a system that follows the Sun?

  15. 15 porkypinekiwion 04 Jan 2010 at 05:38

    same as a coal train. but how did you get one so big?

  16. 16 Beaverman20on 04 Jan 2010 at 06:18

    could be pretty cool if you could cool it with ln2

  17. 17 kalamar73on 04 Jan 2010 at 06:41

    It already uses heat as input. Why to triple convert it with losses if you are not electric junkie?

  18. 18 rlarue1on 04 Jan 2010 at 07:12

    Wow, the lens really concentrates a lot, and in a smaller space than a parabolic mirror

    I’ve seen a lot of Stirling Engines, but all of them are little size. What is the power they can generate ? If this system were able to generate power I think It would be spread in many places. It seems just can generate movement but without a reasonable amount of energy.

  20. 20 ikidd3123on 04 Jan 2010 at 07:27

    If heating were your goal, you wouldn’t put this in the middle, reducing efficiency, you would just use the sunlight that heats the air chamber directly. This is to demonstrate making mechanical power from heat energy, which has it’s own uses. The actual amount of energy this produces (especially at this scale) would be rather low, probably enough to drive a small light bulb.

  21. 21 andrew0901280on 04 Jan 2010 at 08:26

    so could you hook it to an electric heater and heat the motor to run the heater and have free heat?
    this is the first ive heard of these engines so i dont know a thing about them but i like the idea

  22. 22 AlbertInSanAntonioon 04 Jan 2010 at 09:25

    OMG awsome how the hell is that working?

  23. 23 duad66on 04 Jan 2010 at 10:00

    Nice video demonstrating the use of solar energy and the stirling cycle engine. Keep up the good work.

  24. 24 inricheetoson 04 Jan 2010 at 10:54

    @Juturn4 grow a lot of grass and burn it

  25. 25 MrAllAndNothingon 04 Jan 2010 at 11:48

    Except for financing, material and time to build it I realy do not need to find anything ;)
    I also can run a CAD software and design the whole thing first.
    I guess planning is crucual…
