Re: ITS GENIOUS™ - 10 kW portable CHP stirling

Now that is something else! A high kW output with such a small dimension.
Well done Guys. Looking forward to your video release.

Re: Engine vacuum

Go for it Thanh. They can be very finicky to get set up, but once working they sound real neat. I have made two in my time and found that cast iron brake cylinders work well with a very thin walled steel or stainless steel piston as the expansion of the metals are near the same, though sometimes sta...

Re: This is my first beta stirling engine !!

Hi Thanh - I Have been away for several weeks out in the desert without any internet and couldn't contact anyone, but now home with a very sick car.
Anyway! That is a very impressive engine and looks so great.
Do you have plans for that one Thanh or is this one from your head. - I like It -

Re: Can anyone build me a Stirling engine for a BBQ rotisserie?

High CB - The voltage I normally talk about is 12VDC and/or 6VDC. For small models 200 mA would be easily available and give the good results for a small Rotisserie. These can be obtained from good barbeque places and are available in 1.5VDC and 12VDC as well as 240VAC. All in all we are talking abo...

Re: Can anyone build me a Stirling engine for a BBQ rotisserie?

Hi JCal If you want to run a rotisserie for a barbecue you do not need much power. A small well made Sterling engine will drive one with a pulley system (1:4 ratio) quite well. I do not believe you need anywhere near 10 Watts probably closer to 300mA would be more like it. You could use the heat fro...

Re: generators

HI CB - That's perfect and they work on low RPM. I am using the same one, but slightly larger as I can get 2 Amps from mine at 12 volts.
I posted a picture of it in my post re beam engine. I will show you another pic.
