9:40 "Okay, so I'm gonna turn on this electric heater!" *Electrifies all fish*

I'm so glad you gave Lindy a shout-out, the guy has quality content that is often overlooked.

Cody: *loses 12 hours on a small experiment that brings no real personal benefit to himself* Also Cody:*'Tis but a scratch*

It's been a year and a half, I'd like to see that super efficient upscaled generator.

build a solar powered version using a fresnel lense for the heat scource

A FYI from that i got from thermodynamics studying in college. A colder cold-source is more efficent than a hotter heat-source. That is, you will get more power if you decrease the cold source 5º than if you increase the heat source 5º.

NOW, for the GEEKS OUT THERE.... how about a stirling engine from a Heat sink on a computer???

I love it when I find out my favourite channels have connections, especially when they don't even have much in common, lindybeige is amazing

those poor fish, always having to put up with Cody's bullshit.

You've been blowing up lately, it seems like yesterday when you were drinking cyanide at 700K subs

I'm really glad you linked to lindy beige. he has a great channel and makes really good content, so I'm really glad to see you supporting him! I think I first some him through you or an AVE cross link. I just really like knowing all the engineering and science KZfaq channels follow and support eachother. it's really encouraging!

Cody suggesting Lindy? Gotta love when your favourite channels watch each other.

Today on cody's lab we make depth charges.

Oh hey look its Lindybeige!

Yes! A Cody-Lindy connection was just what I needed to close the last gap in my Web of KZfaqrs I Watch!

Side note: due to the fanning motion of the wheel the heavier gasses will not settle at the bottom. There will be an even mixture of what ever gasses are in the bottle.

Cody: "I hope I'm not bothering the fish." Fish: "OMG, we are going to be part of an experiment! We're all gonna die! RUN! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!" OR Fish: "Oh wow! What is this spinny thing? Is it food? Why is it ticking? I can't eat it! Don't torture us, oh Great Wanderer of Land!"

I just bought a high temperature Stirling engine when you get it running it will vibrate so much it almost moves off the table. Its pretty epic.

Aww, I've been watching both you and Lloyd's videos for ages, it's great to see the link. I feel like I'm in good company!

i recently learned about these from lindybeige's channel. I was curious to know more, and now you picked it up, sweet!

Man, I love me some Sterling engnes!

Getting close to 1 million cody! Happy new year's!

Love all of your videos and knowledge! I hope to see the larger version that you were talking about at the end of this ❤️👍

Thank you for uploading this on my birthday. I love the Sterling Engine.

this guy is my new favourite KZfaqr

Inching closer to 1mil. Congrats in advance, Cody!

I love your videos, I run into them totally randomly too. Very good, much coolness.

Loved the video! You're awesome Cody, keep up the good work.

Yes another video :D I had never heard of a sterling engine so thanks for the new knowledge!

CODY AND LINDYBEIGE ARE AWARE

Cody is always really great about sending views to other channels, and sending people to things they want to see.

Geez dude. I've never watched one of your videos without learning something new... Thanks a lot for all your input in your videos. you'd be an excellent teacher if you ever choose to be one

the PV diagram shows that doubling the pressure should double the power. and since electrical power is proportional to voltage squared you should expect the second voltage to be roughly sqrt(2) or 1.41 times the first voltage. so 0.745 V / 0.520 V = 1.43 .... seems to check out!

I swear when you build that it will be my favorite video on youtube.

Such a cool guy Cody love the calm caring nature you have

Went back and rewatched after all these years. Still a fantastic video!

What if you used Liquid Nitrogen as your cold source?

I'm way late, but I'm so glad to find out that you're friends with LindyBeige

Wow! Very clever way to demonstrate the theory, cheap n dirty like I love! I was aware of Sterling motors, but the Helium under pressure is brillant!

It's astounding how interconnected all the cool channels seem to be. I've watched Lindy's vids for years, I found your channel through watching Isaac Arthur and now I see a vid where you reference Lindybeige's channel.

Hey Cody you should get some clear acrylic pipe and unscrewable endcaps and put a valve stem on it it would allow you to put way more pressure and show just how much power you could get

Hi Cody, how about building one on top of a compost bin and using the composting process as a heat source? It'd be a great recycling example! Thanks for the video it was awesome!

Always impressed with your stuff.

I really enjoyed this video. Thank you!

**rage quit** **ad** Thanks KZfaq Side note NEARLY TO 1MIL CODY!!

Wow this guy knows Lindybeige!

I rewatched Lindy's video, and when I returned, the app picked up where I left off, with you saying "now that you're caught up to speed..." Surprised me haha

I think your idea is great Cody keep up the good work

On Cody's next video he runs it in his vacuum chamber.

Is it Sterling (Thumbnail) or Stirling (Title)? You have to choose one!

About the time you made this video, I bought one exactly like it, off ebay. When it arrived, I replaced the stainless steel plates with aluminum, 1/16th inch, which doubled the rpm at least. I've played with many versions of this engine, from superheated, and cooled, to the simple "atmospheric" as this one, their best feature is their simplicity of design, and of driving needs, they are simply not "torque monsters" in any way, shape or form, but do very well with simple basic tasks such as pumping water from a mine, day and night, minimal service and maintenance. We've jumped past a great many basic engine designs that are perfect for specific tasks, because we tend to leap on "new", with little debate on "effective". These have great potential in any situation where one has differential temperature, and a "constant, low load engine need". The issue is one of choosing the application to meet the facts, not changing the situation to meet the needs of an engine. Most people don't know, we operated Newcomen's steam condensing engine, as most effective until the idea of wrapping music wire around a wrought iron boiler, allowed for a pressure engine, designed by James Watt, a century later. Most of our technology has come into its own, only when another technology makes it possible to do things vastly different, as "Bessemer steel" made possible high speed steam, and ultimately, diesel and gas engines. I've played with "atmospheric engines", flamesuckers, for many years, because they make great gifts, but first, because I found I could see the actual anular flow of gases, watching the action of the flame, "external combustion", sucked into the cylinder, something air, in a flow bench, with colored smoke, can only begin to show. I have long enjoyed your delving into the exotic, strange, and the general organic chemistry. Thanks for some really interesting work.

Well I'm always up for watching more Lindybeige.

Here come all the "Engne" comments.

I have always wondered if Stirling Engines can be used to harness energy from heat (which is lost energy) in many devices, essentially converting the heat into energy and keeping it in a loop

Wow! Synchronicity at it's finest. I collect and run model steam engines & was just looking into getting my first Stirling engine in the future.

I'm definitely looking forward to that man!

I like how your fish are trying to breed in the background

Hey Cody, how many gallons is your goldfish tank? It looks a tad bit cramped there for 3 goldies

Im so glad you and Lindy are friends!!!

Can't believe, a crossover with the two best channels on youtube!

Are you ever going to build the 10x version of the Sterling engine?

RIP that first Stirling Engine.

Ha! I just watched his video last night! It's amazing how the KZfaq community is connected.

This was entertaining and informative.

Cody did you have the motor run back to your heating coil?????

When will you build a stirling engine Cody? it's 2019 and i'm still waiting!!! :)

That's awesome! Great job!

WELL DONE! WELL DEMONSTRATED! THANK YOU!

You should see how fast you can make the stirling engine go by putting the base in liquid nitrogen and heating up the other side with whatever the hottest thing you can use that won't damage it is.

Question: Could you further improve the Sterling engine's effiency by using a hydrogen/helium mix? (hydrogen alone doesn't seem safe)

I just got the idea of stirling watercooling for cpu! Thanks for upload

Hi Cody Love the video. One thing to understand the power output of the engine. This can be done by adding various loads (resistors) until the voltage starts to drop from the 1 V you measured. At that point measure the max current while 1 V output and measure the load amount. Now you know max power output. One step further is to know the efficiency. How much power in vs power out. Love you videos thanks for sharing. 😊

Cody you seemed to ignore that the atmosphere inside of that bottle will heat up due to your heating wire. The cooling side of the sterling engine will also heat up and your temperature difference will drop. You might want to install some cooling mechanism for the "cold side" of your engine. If you ever build a large scale sterling engine you also should install a cooler. If you are in possession of some constantly cool groundwater for example you should use a watercooling. Again i want to point out that a sterling engine is an incredible engine with a high efficiency (if build well) but the relative low pressure difference compared to other combustion engines and the limited time to cool your working gas at high speed due to the missing gas load exchange, leeds to a really low power:weight ratio of such engines. We use a lot of sterling engines in germany combined with our home gas heatings. But those relatively heavy and large engines in stationary work have but a few horsepowers. Normally they generate about .5-2 kW electricity. The torque of sterling engines is pretty low, so that you have to run them at a high speed to gain the needed power, leeding to even less time for the heat exchange. Also one of the biggest issues why sterling engines aren't used in large scale is because you can't use any kind of lubricant like motoroil inside of the engine. You can't lubricant your pistons etc.so they tend to stuck and break at high revolutions. This makes it quite impossible to build engines in a realistic scale with a useful power output to run electrical engines etc. You always need high capacity batteries as a buffer. Nevertheless i really look forward to your large scale sterling engine! Please build one.

I know conpost heats up quite a bit, maybe make it compost powered?

Rage quit!! Hahah nice. Appreciate the referral to Lindys video. That definitely made me understand the way these work, in a tad more detail ✌

I just had thermodynamic lessons in my physics class And God, I wish our teacher could do/show experiments so that we could understand sooner! Now everything makes sense, Thanks a lot Cody

Cody pleas do the big Stirling Engine!!!

You've got some synovial fluid in hand, yeah? I hear it's a great lubricant.

you're the best, Cody!

Would like to see a demonstration on heat recovery, the concepts are really well executed here, best video I've seen on it by a long shot.

ohh are those triops (and fairy shrimp) in the background? i get intermittently obsessed with them, but they have a reasonably short lifespan so i can have a break

I look forward to seeing the scaled up version. Think you could make one that could crank 100 watts?

You absolutely have to do the big scale stirling engine, it will be so awsome i'm looking forward to that !! greetings from France :)

That's actually really cool. Good job. I suppose this could work on larger Sterling Engines as well. You could heat it with a waste oil burner. There is a lot of heat available from those and I suspect you could get a lot of energy from it - not just to make electricity but to heat water in your hot water tank or radiant floor heating - whatever.

Place giant stirling engines in hydrogen chambers on icebergs.

Where did you get your sterling engine that was used in the test?

Loved to see a full size one of these made by you in a video soon

thank you for being friends with him i love your channels

Triops!!!! I've tried a couple of times to grow Triops, but they always die soon after hatching :( I don't know why.

I understand that the thinner gasses make it go faster but I'm wondering if thicker gasses would make it stronger? like more torque?

Beautiful idea

i watched this 3 times now,good info

yes this is good to know, but you should test if it will run at all in vacuum chamber...

Maybe you can use solar mirrors to direct the solar heat to the chamber, and water..

wow! would love to see a scale up version of this!

Would love if you made a few more videos of stirlings!

Whiteboard markers on paper? What kind of monster are you?

Oh Cody, using a dry-erase marker on paper

thanks for that dude that was a lot of fiddly work for that demo :)

I loved this video!!! I wish that you would talk more about sterling engines!!!!
