In this video I show you the development of my Stirling engines and a comparison of the original rhombic drive and the half rhombic linkeage.
I want to discover which configuration is the best to support the energy production for our solar power supply.
As always I am very happy for comments and suggestions.
Thanks for your Interest

As a question, how come you do not attempt to scale up the rhombic stirling? If the low wattage means more usage, perhaps doubling the size could produce closer to 600 Watts? I dont know if it scales linearly, but that would be one way to reduce the amount of hours of operation required.

Thermoacustic is great for speed, but you will never get any power out, the temperature difference is too minimal

@joshuaananga4476

I really love the great effort

Thanks for your fascinating work on the sterling engines here. I can see myself wanting to buy one of your designs some day. What made you choose a particular cylinder size over another? Given that you are interested in home power production the engine does not need to be very portable, so larger scales might be a way to get good power without high pressures and high RPMs and the associated manufacturing challenges. I'm interested in home electrical generation using a sterling engine powered by 100c water and cooled by room temp water.

Thanks for sharing your video. The world is already better with people like you and I and many intelligent people commenting here ; )

@cederom

AMAZING!!! =)

@TheOnelove7777

Or we can make a video together.

@TheOnelove7777

Would you sell me one

@chrislee7817

Very impressive, people don't realise the amount of effort required to achieve these things. We'll done.

Great!

@stephenwerneburg1235

Awesome work

@trygvetveit4747

May i as at witch Delta temperatures you ar running at?

@user-de4jz4if2w

Fantastic work!!!

@reypolice5231

Have you thought about changing it with CO2?

@jen4730

i Love your work. do you sell the parts in a kit? it would be a nice addition to my wood stove.

Hello, I am looking to experiment with building an engine like this, but I am having trouble finding resources about how to build the half rhombic linkage mechanism. Would you be willing to share the files for the half rhombic drive again? The comment with a file link from 3 years ago now errors out. Hope your future prototypes become even more powerful!
